Chapter 66: The Treasure of the Well
The sword sliced through the air.
Listening to the long sword behind him rubbing the air, and the sound of tearing the wind continued to sound, Zhao Ling's expression changed, and he immediately gave up attacking the Hundred Miles Alluring City, and turned around and put the giant sword with vitality attached to his chest again.
But at this moment, a terrifying scene happened.
Zhao Ling saw that the attacking long sword actually broke a hole in his giant sword, and then pierced his own body protection qi, and finally pierced his chest in an instant, leaving a bloody hole.
"Great Sword Master-" With a frightened look, Zhao Ling slowly spit out three words with great unwillingness, and his majestic body fell to the ground, completely lifeless.
Before he died, Zhao Ling knew that this battle was a joke from beginning to end, and the reason why he was still able to jump so much before was just because others used it to increase his actual combat experience and find opportunities to break through the realm.
"The sixth master is dead, run!"
"Oh no, the sixth master is gone!"
Seeing that Zhao Ling was killed, the group of mountain bandits immediately panicked, and threw down the weapons in their hands together, like birds, beasts, poultry and livestock, scattered and fled, and all kinds of wailing sounds continued to be emitted from their mouths.
For a while, it was endless.
Commander Ji rushed in, except for women, children, and the elderly, and children under the age of eight, none of them remained, and did not accept surrender. Looking at the rabble that fled in rout, Lin Mo gave the order to rush and kill.
Lin Mo would not have the slightest mercy on this group of mountain bandits who were surrounded by fish and meat, of course, it could be regarded as the price that Zhao Ling needed to pay for hurting the city for a hundred miles.
"Yes!" Ji Qian replied respectfully, then pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted: "Brothers rushed in, except for women, children, the elderly, and children under the age of eight, no one was left." ”
As Ji Qian's words fell, two thousand soldiers of the security battalion wearing strong armor and blades broke open the gate of Heishui Village with great momentum, rushing in like a tide, and the killing cry shook the sky.
Soon, there were constant wails and swords in the Black Water Village, one after another.
Ji Qian led the people to rush in, Lin Mo and the others hurriedly surrounded the Baili Allure City, and the eldest grandson was already in a hurry, and hurriedly said with concern: "Allure, are you okay?"
Baili Allure didn't answer, just sat cross-legged, his face with a slight look of pain, and his body was like a dry rice field, frantically drawing nutrients from heaven and earth.
Lin Mo gently wiped the bloodshot from the corners of his lips for Baili Allure, and after taking it on the pulse, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief: "Worry, don't worry, Allure is fine, but he was slightly injured, and he also got the opportunity to break through the realm of the Great Sword Master." ”
In just a moment, with the hundred-mile city as the center, it seems to form a whirlpool center, and the vitality wandering between heaven and earth, like a trickle of water, continues to enter the body.
"Allure, is this about to break through?" Looking at the Baili Allure City that was clinging to her mind, Bai Zhilan, who was also a cultivator, looked a little unbelievable about the facts in front of her.
Yan Baiyu nodded: "I was shocked by Zhao Ling before, and Allure penetrated the acupuncture points all over the body, and the flying sword that Allure used with all his strength returned to the nest, and consumed too much vitality in the body, it should be the time to come." ”
If you want to break through to the realm of the Great Sword Master, you have to penetrate the acupuncture points of the whole body, and you need to consume the vast majority of the Yuan Qi in your body, so that the wandering between heaven and earth will automatically feed back, just like a hundred miles of a city at this time.
Lin Mo glanced at the battle inside the Black Water Village, then looked around, and said, "There must be a battle inside, I'll be here to protect the Fa for Allure!"
Yan Baiyu nodded, and the two sides of the wind and the clouds dispersed, looking at everything around them with a serious expression, and the ten-foot martial domain in the body was ready to unfold at any time to protect the safety of the hundred-mile city.
When a cultivator breaks through to the realm of the Great Sword Master, he is the most vulnerable because the vitality in his body is facing depletion, so if he is not in an absolutely safe environment, he will never dare to try to break through.
Baili Allure City does not need to consider the surrounding environmental factors, because Lin Mo is here, Yan Baiyu is also here, Xi Feng and Qiu Yun are also here, and he is not afraid that someone will threaten his safety at all.
As time passed, the power in the body of the Hundred Miles Allure City became stronger and stronger, and a fiery red power permeated her surroundings, and this power swept out, forming a ten-foot martial domain.
The nascent ten-foot martial domain collapsed again in the moment it was formed, but the moment it collapsed, those shattered martial domain forces gathered together again, forming a new ten-foot martial domain.
Break and then stand, stand and break, and stand again after breaking.
The impact on the realm of the Great Sword Master is exactly like this, at this moment of impact, constantly experiencing failure, the collapse of the ten-foot martial domain, and finally it depends on whether the cultivator can withstand the torture of continuous failure.
Lin Mo looked at it from ten feet away, his face was as plain as water, in fact, his heart had already raised his throat, and he kept praying in his heart: "Allure, you must hold on!"
"Husband, it's okay, I believe that our Allure is very strong!" Yan Baiyu gently held Lin Mo's hand, with a charming smile on her face to give her the greatest relief.
Lin Mo looked down and found that his hand had already clenched into a fist at some point.
If the innate qi of the protective body of a cultivator of the Sword Master Realm is a wall, then the ten-foot martial domain of the Great Sword Master Realm of the Great Sword Master Realm is like a house, which can not only protect oneself, but also imprison and strangle the enemy.
I don't know how long time has passed, and the sound of swords and soldiers in Heishui Village stopping, and at this time, the body of the Hundred Miles Alluring City, which has failed many times, suddenly swept out a ten-foot martial domain.
This ten-foot martial domain Huo Ran spread an extremely powerful force, and it was suddenly fixed around the hundred-mile alluring city, and it never collapsed again, and it became more and more deterrent.
In the end, Baili Allure slowly exhaled a breath, opened his beautiful eyes, and when he saw Lin Mo who was smiling and beckoning to him, he threw himself into Lin Mo's arms with a relaxed leap and kissed him wildly.
"Husband, great, I've finally become a great sword master!"
Yan Baiyu and the girls showed a relaxed smile in Qiqi, and Lin Mo, who enjoyed the beautiful kiss, wrapped around the slender waist of the hundred miles of Allure, and smiled and told him: "In the future, you can restrain yourself in Allure!"
It is a good thing that the city of a hundred miles has broken into the realm of the Great Sword Master, but at the same time it is uncertain, if the person who does not open her eyes and kills before the time accidentally provokes her, and the ten-foot martial domain is a strangulation, it will be a big mistake.
Baili Allure smiled sweetly and said: "Husband, don't worry, I won't use the ten-foot martial domain indiscriminately, besides, my ten-foot martial domain is only in its infancy, and it can't be used as you like." ”
"Okay, I'll go to the Black Water Village to have a look first, and when I return to the house tomorrow, let's consolidate the realm well." Lin Mo said, took the jade hand of the hundred-mile city, and led the group to walk towards the village.
Indeed, as Baili Allure said, her ten-foot martial domain is still in its infancy, and she can't do whatever she wants, if it is compared with the ten-foot martial domain of the peak realm of the Great Sword Master, it is the difference between eggs and stones.
When he entered the village, Lin Mo found that there was blood everywhere, and the eldest grandson Yuyin, Xiaowan, and He Yun'er had never seen such a hellish scene, and they all felt a little uncomfortable.
But seeing that his three younger sisters were all fine, the eldest grandson was worried about his face, so he had to hold back the discomfort in his stomach and move forward.
Lin Mo took the jade hand of the eldest grandson Sorrow in his left hand and gave a smile of encouragement and relief, this eldest grandson Sorrow looked weak and gentle on the surface, but in fact she was also a tenacious woman who refused to admit defeat.
Walking to the front of the lobby of Heishui Village, Lin Mo saw what Ji Qian was talking to several generals, and stepped forward to ask, "Commander Ji, what's wrong, has you found something?"
Seeing Lin Mo coming, Ji Qian hurriedly saluted and said respectfully: "Lord Shangqing, the brothers have already known all the mountain bandits in Heishui Village, and the rest of the women, children, and the elderly, as well as children under the age of eight, are being looked at by the brothers. ”
As he spoke, he looked like he was inviting merit, and said with a smile: "A few brothers came to report just now, and they found a dry well, and there was something in the dry well. ”
"The dry well, is it a treasure?"
For treasures, Baili Allure City has a soft spot, there was a period of time when Lin Mo was arguing every day and took her out to hunt for treasures, for this, Lin Mo also satisfied her and took her out to hunt for treasures for a month.
According to the treasure map provided by the team of nightmen under the Hundred Miles Allure City, not to mention the result, she really found a bunch of treasures, worth 100,000 gold leaves.
However, what Baili Allure didn't know was that the pile of treasures was buried by Lin Mo's faction.
Lin Mo can't help it, this girl can't find the treasure in a hundred miles of Allure, and she refuses to give up!
Ji Qian didn't say anything, but deliberately sold a pass, and said with a mysterious smile: "Please adults and the four ladies, follow your subordinates and take a look." ”
Under the leadership of Ji Qian, several people came to a courtyard surrounded by soldiers, and in the courtyard there were two sturdy soldiers standing next to the dry well in high spirits.
Look at their happy appearance, the contents of the dry well are the two of them found.
"See Commander Ji!" Seeing that Ji Qian was coming, the two soldiers hurriedly saluted.
Ji Qian nodded with a smile and ordered, "Zhang Da, Li Er, the two of you are about to tell Lord Shangqing, what did you find in the dry well?"
Zhang Da and Li Er hurriedly saluted Lin Mo, and Li Er, who was on the left, took the lead in speaking: "Lord Qiqi Shangqing, the two subordinates found six boxes in the dry well, which contained gold leaves, pearl jewelry, and gold, silver and jade. ”
"Yes, it's really a treasure, it's so good that you can buy new dresses and jewelry!"
Yan Baiyu and Bai Zhilan glanced at each other and smiled speechlessly, they really couldn't do anything about the Baili Allure, but the eldest grandson Yuyin and Lin Mo showed a knowing smile at the frankness of the Baili Allure.
This hundred-mile allure city can be regarded as born lying on the pile of money, and he has never been short of money since he was a child, and somehow, he has developed this money-loving temperament, and he always changes the law to get money from Lin Mo's hands.
"Okay, okay, Allure, there's someone else here!"
"Yes, husband, the concubine knows, the concubine is a lady who treats money like dirt!"
Calming down the Baili Allure City that jumped up happily, Lin Mo couldn't help but smile, looked at Zhang Da and Li Er, and asked with a stern face: "Benqing asked the two of you how you found out that there was a treasure in this dry well. ”
Zhang Daxing on the right saluted and said respectfully: "When the little one and Li Er were fighting with the mountain bandits, they were pushed down the dry well by the mountain bandits, and they didn't think that they didn't fall to their deaths, but let the little two find the six boxes of treasures inside, and I hereby dedicate them to you, Lord Shangqing." ”
Lin Mo smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, well done, then go and take out the six boxes of treasures! The two of you could have swallowed it privately, but it was given to Benqing, and Benqing remembered the loyalty of the two of you." ”
When speaking, Lin Mo deliberately bit the words "six boxes" and "loyalty".
"Thank you, Lord Shangqing!" Zhang Da and Li Er hurriedly saluted together to thank them.
Ordered someone to set up a rope with a pulley at the mouth of the well, Zhang Da and Li Er took the initiative to ask Ying to go down, and soon after, six red wooden boxes were presented in front of everyone.
Baili Allure quickly opened the six boxes, only to see that they were full of all kinds of treasures with various colors of streamers, and suddenly the joy bloomed, and it was very "ladylike" to fall on a top full of all kinds of pearl jewelry, feeling the beautiful touch of the treasure.
Looking at the golden treasure in front of them, Ji Qian and the others were happy, and even the eldest Sun Youyin and Yan Baiyu were also happy, but Lin Mo, who was smiling, quietly gave Bai Zhilan a special look.
Bai Zhilan comprehended, turned around and asked Zhang Da and Li Er in a cold tone, "Mrs. Ben asked the two of you, are there really only six boxes of treasures down there?"
Bai Zhilan also bit the word "six boxes" quite hard.
Zhang Da and Li Er's bodies were obviously stunned for a moment.
Hearing Bai Zhilan's rather loud question, the laughter of the people present suddenly stopped, and they all looked at Zhang Da and Li Er, their eyes were full of questioning, and their eyes were full of murderous intent.
Li Er, who looked like a roe deer, took the lead in calming down, and said with a smile on his face: "If you go back to Mrs., there are really six boxes of treasures inside, how dare the little one deceive all the adults and Mrs." ”
"Really?" Lin Mo asked as if he added.
"The little one doesn't dare to deceive Lord Shangqing!" Li Er replied affirmatively.
"Ben Qing has given the two of you a chance!" Lin Mo smiled faintly, looked at Ji Qian with a solemn expression, and ordered: "Commander Ji, send two people down to see if there is anything below." ”
As soon as Lin Mo's words came out, Zhang Da and Li Er suddenly panicked, and knelt on the ground together: "Lord Shangqing, the little one knows that he is wrong, please spare your life!"
Hearing the words of the two, Ji Qian immediately understood, these two people concealed the report, and immediately said angrily: "You two are so bold, dare to deceive Shangguan, someone will drag them down and cut them down!"
"Slow down!" Lin Mo stopped Ji Qian with a speech, and said with a smile: "Commander Ji, don't worry, let's go down and take a look first, in case we are mistaken, it is a sin to frame a good person." ”
"Yes, you two go down and have a look!"
Ji Qian didn't dare to disobey Lin Mo's orders, so he ordered the two of them at random, but he was a little puzzled in his heart: these two people themselves had already knelt down and admitted their mistakes, why did Lord Shangqing send someone down to check, isn't this an extra move?
Two soldiers were ordered to go down to the dry well, and soon the news came back, and they shouted in the well: "Lord Commander, Lord Shangqing, there are still six boxes in here." ”
It took another effort to pick up the six boxes, and in an instant, a full twelve boxes of golden, shining treasures appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and Zhang Da and Li Er's begging for mercy became louder.
Looking at the extra six boxes, thinking of the scum in his team who deceived Shangguan, Ji Qian was angry, and immediately ordered someone to drag Zhang Da and Li Er down and cut off their heads.
Looking at the twelve boxes full of treasures in front of him, and thinking of Zhang Da and Li Er, who were desperate for money, Yan Baiyu felt a little emotional, but there were more doubts in his heart.
"Zhilan, how do you know that there are still dry wells?"
As soon as Yan Baiyu's words came out, everyone turned their eyes to Bai Zhilan, hoping to get her answer.
Bai Zhilan covered her mouth and smiled, and looked at Lin Mo: "This is what my husband told me." ”
Everyone threw themselves at Lin Mo again.
Lin Mo smiled: "It's very simple, just think about it, if you accidentally find so many treasures, what should be the first reaction of a person?"
While everyone was still thinking, Baili Allure, who was sitting on the treasure chest, did not hesitate, raised his little hand, and replied first: "I know, I know, it is to hide them." ”
Everyone immediately reacted and understood the strange thing inside: yes, normal people will hide their treasures and take them later, but how can Li Er and his eldest give them back?
There is only one answer, this sacrifice will not be all, and the reason why part of it will be sacrificed must be to invite merit in front of Lin Mo, and want to climb higher and no longer be a soldier by offering treasures.
Seeing what everyone thought, Lin Mo also nodded and smiled: "You are right, the first reaction of a normal person is to find a treasure, but Zhang Da and Li Er have made a fortune and want to be promoted!"
If they conceal it and don't report it, they will quietly take out the treasure and become a rich man elsewhere in the future, no one will find out the strangeness, but they still want to be officials.
Just when everyone was silently lamenting Zhang Da and Li Er's greed, Lin Mo pointed to the two soldiers who went down for the second time, and said lightly: "Commander Ji, drag the two of them down and cut them down." ”
The crowd was stunned again.
"Lord Shangqing, why is this?" Before the two soldiers could react from their astonishment, Ji Qian was the first to ask suspiciously, his face full of puzzlement.
"Because the two of them also concealed it!" Lin Mo smiled: "The two of them thought that Ben Qing suspected it once, and they wouldn't suspect it if they took out six more boxes, but unfortunately, Ben Qing happened to be a suspicious person." ”
After Lin Mo finished speaking, the two of them also showed dead faces, Ji Qian knew that the two of them must have been deceived, and the result of the two of them was the same, they were dragged down and their heads were cut off.
"This group of bastards actually deceived my aunt and grandmother again and again. "Hundreds of miles of the city finally couldn't sit still, he jumped and flew down the dry well.
Looking at the hundred miles of the city that flew down the well, Yan Baiyu smiled, walked to Lin Mo's side, and said in a low voice: "It is obvious that the concubine heard the two of them talking in the well, and hinted at you with her eyes." ”
Yan Baiyu is a demi-saint realm, and his ear power is many times more sensitive than that of Xifeng and the others, if he wants to listen and hear the whispered conversation between the two in the well, it is as easy as a finger.
The eldest grandson listened to it on the side, and finally solved the doubts in her heart, at first she really thought that Lin Mo had guessed it out of thin air, but it turned out to be like this.
Lin Mo smiled and was about to quibble about something, when a hundred miles of voices came from the dry well: "Wow, there are fifteen treasure chests full of treasures in this dry well, and the walls of this well are all paved with gold bricks, this group of mountain bandits is too rich, husband, Sister Sorrow, come down and take a look!"
Listening to the words of Baili Alluring City, Yan Baiyu Ji Qian and the others showed surprised eyes, but Lin Mo's heart was not shocked, and he felt that this was a very normal thing.
Bai Zhilan noticed it and immediately asked, "Why, my husband is not surprised at all?"
Lin Mo shook his head and explained: "This Black Water Village has been entrenched here for more than thirty years, it is normal to have these treasures, if there are only a dozen boxes, then I will be surprised." ”
Heishui Village was built 31 years ago, in the past 31 years, robbed many merchants from various countries, and the official army failed to encircle and suppress it several times, that is, it was successful, and did not pay a large amount of money.
The first time, when Ji Qian led the army to pacify Heishui Village, Lin Mo felt very strange, could it be that Ji Qian pacified a huge Heishui Village, and didn't he harvest some gold and silver treasures and other things to give to himself to show his loyalty?
At first, Lin Mo thought that Ji Qian and others had swallowed it privately, but now it seems that Ji Qian and others did not find out.
Also, who would have thought that the treasure of gold and silver would be in this inconspicuous dry well where people come and go?
It's really dark under the lights!
Listening to the sound of joy coming from the hundred-mile allure city in the dry well, Lin Mo smiled faintly: "The three ladies, as well as Commander Ji, let's go down and have a look, and see how much gold and silver treasure there is in this Heishui Village that has been entrenched here for more than 30 years, and we can also increase our knowledge." ”
