Chapter 121: Wu Xianguo
"How could I frame you?" Lu Wu replied in a playful voice: "You saved them, and you became friends with the immortals, and when they are happy, maybe they will give you a few elixirs of immortality." ”
Yin Tiancheng said coldly: "Hmph, what you said is really beautiful, then why don't you save it yourself? I think you want to force me to death! If you save the gods and witches, you are against the gods, and then Emperor Jun will be furious, and I will not be able to eat and walk around." ”
"You can rest assured, if you save the Ten Witches of Lingshan, Your Majesty will never blame you. After a deep groan, Lu Wu told Yin Tiancheng about everything that happened back then.
It turned out that before Emperor Jun sent Zhu Rong to Wuxian Kingdom, he had said two words in front of the gods.
The first sentence is for the God Emperor to carry out divine punishment on the Ten Witches of Lingshan on behalf of the Heavenly Realm, and the second sentence is that no god can help the Ten Witches of Lingshan escape punishment and cannot save them.
Hearing this, Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but interject and said, "Zhu Rong is known as the Red Emperor, will he be one of the five God Emperors you mentioned earlier?"
"Hehe, don't take it literally, I think that the titles of the five god emperors must have an emperor in their titles. ”
Lu Wu immediately came together the names of these five god emperors, they were the Golden Emperor Beishui, the Spring Emperor Jumang, the Sea Emperor Yujiang, the Red Emperor Zhurong and the Earth Emperor Jiang, these five gods were second only to the Heavenly Emperor in the heavenly realm, and assisted Emperor Jun in handling the affairs of the Three Realms in daily life.
"I see. Yin Tiancheng nodded slightly, and said, "Hearing you say this, I think Di Jun has the intention of exculpating the Ten Witches of Lingshan." ”
"You guessed it. His Majesty is kind by nature, and although the Ten Witches of Lingshan have harmed his beloved son, he still wants to open up to them. Otherwise, his old man would directly pronounce the death sentence of the gods and witches in public. ”
Yin Tiancheng praised: "What a clever strategy, in this way, it will maintain the majesty of the Protoss, and at the same time leave a way for the Ten Witches of Lingshan to live, so that things will have a chance to turn around." ”
Lu Wu sighed: "It's a pity that there will always be an unpredictable side to the development of things, and even our gods can't fully control it. ”
"Could it be that something happened here?"
Lu Wu's subsequent words were completely unexpected by Yin Tiancheng, just when Zhu Rong arrested the Ten Witches of Lingshan and brought them to justice, and before he could say the content of the divine punishment, suddenly a god appeared in Wu Xianguo and said the content of the divine punishment before him, this god was the Earth Emperor Jiang.
Di Jiang's move can be said to be a loophole, after all, Di Jun only said that he would let the God Emperor exercise divine punishment instead of him, but he did not explicitly mention that this god could only be Zhu Rong.
And Di Jiang, like Zhu Rong, is one of the five god emperors, he said the content of the divine punishment according to his own will, naturally he did not go against Di Jun's will, even if Zhu Rong was angry in his heart, he was helpless.
Yin Tiancheng suddenly noticed the cat, and asked Lu Wu about the content of the divine punishment, and after the other party listened, his brows furrowed deeply.
Di Jiang directly imprisoned the ten witches of Lingshan in a secret room, except for Wu Xian, the other nine gods and witches were turned into cold stone statues that could not see, ears could not hear, and mouth could not speak.
Yin Tiancheng asked in wonder, "Why didn't Wu Xian turn into a stone statue like his brothers, is it because he has a good relationship with Dijiang?"
"Not really, if they are all turned into stone statues, no one will be able to exert their divine power to fulfill the wishes of the rescuers. ”
When Lu Wu said the specific content of the divine punishment, this time, Yin Tiancheng not only frowned deeply, but even his face changed.
Di Jiang's divine punishment did not go against Di Jun's wishes, but his methods were too vicious.
Those who successfully enter the secret chamber of the gods, if they want to rescue the ten witches of Lingshan, they have to make their own wishes and let Wu Xian complete them.
Every time a wish is made, one of the nine stone statues will be freed, and until the rescuer has finished the nine wishes, the secret room will disappear completely, and the ten witches of Lingshan will be free from suffering forever and no longer punished by the gods.
It sounds very good, like a win-win situation, but Di Jiang has placed an additional condition in it, which makes Yin Tiancheng, who knows the truth at this moment, furious in his heart.
That is, after every wish is granted, although the god and witch who regains his freedom can escape the divine punishment, he will die on the spot and will never return to the gods!
Yin Tiancheng suddenly had an indescribable fear in his heart, and he sighed and said: "It's so vicious, Dijiang is clearly killing the gods and witches." ”
Lu Wu sighed: "Who said no, but everyone has nothing to do with him, after all, from the table, there is no violation of his actions." ”
"Things have come to this, why do you want me to save the gods and witches of Lingshan, doesn't this make my hands stained with the blood of innocents for no reason?"
"You kid is usually weird, and from time to time you can come up with a good idea, so I hope you can come up with a way to break the curse of the emperor and let them live freely. ”
"You're not stupid, haven't you thought of a solution for so many years?"
"If I had thought of it, I wouldn't have put down my body and asked for your help today. ”
Yin Tiancheng smiled bitterly and said: "This is indeed a brain-burning question, let me think about it, but you shouldn't expect too much from it." ”
"No problem, you have at least half a year left, and if you need anything, I will definitely help. ”
Yin Tiancheng asked strangely: "Why wait for half a year, is there a specific day to make a wish?"
"That's not it, only a few gods knew about the location where the Ten Witches of Lingshan were imprisoned, but this year, I don't know who leaked the news, causing many immortal cultivators in the Western Wilderness to flock to it, hoping to get the elixir of life from the hands of the gods and witches. So I want to avoid this rush hour, and when they're almost done, I'll let you meet with Wu Xian. ”
"Leaks? Maybe some god did it on purpose. Yin Tiancheng sighed with emotion, and then asked, "Where is that secret room hidden?"
"It is buried deep under the ruins of the country of Wuham. ”
Yin Tiancheng was speechless in shock, and couldn't help but admire Dijiang's scheming.
As the old saying goes, the more dangerous the place, the safer.
According to common sense, even if the secret room where the Ten Witches of Lingshan is imprisoned is not very secret, it should be a place that is difficult for the world to reach, but Di Jiang did the opposite, if Lu Wu didn't say it himself, how could Yin Tiancheng expect it to be hidden under the abandoned Wuxian Kingdom.
At this moment, Lu Wu's face suddenly changed, and then he put his hand on his lips and made a silence, his eyes staring directly in the direction of the door.
Yin Tiancheng suddenly came to his senses, it turned out that someone outside the door was eavesdropping on their conversation!
The next moment, Lu Wu turned into a gust of wind and appeared in front of the closed door, he opened the door suddenly, and shouted outward: "He Fang rat, dare to eavesdrop on the conversation of the deity!"
Seeing Lu Wu appear, the woman outside the house trembled with fright, and the crockpot she was holding fell to the ground and shattered, instantly the smell of meat and soup spread, arousing people's appetite.
Before the woman could scream, Lu Wu quickly covered the other party's small mouth and held her hostage into the house.
However, when I saw Lu Wu blink, the door closed instantly, and even the candlelight went out.
"Why be so nervous, this is my territory!" Yin Tiancheng muttered, re-lit the oil lamp on the table, and when he saw the woman's face clearly, he couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "Nangong girl, why are you?"
"Uncle Shi, I, I ......" Nangong Yan was so nervous that she couldn't speak.
"It turned out to be your Feiyumen people. Lu Wu let go of his hand, pretended to be fierce and said, "Say, who instructed you to eavesdrop on our conversation outside?"
"No one, no one to instruct me, you, are you an immortal?" Nangong Yan's legs were weak, and she took a few steps back and collapsed on the chair, her face no longer bloodless.
Yin Tiancheng looked a little unbearable on the sidelines, and immediately complained to Lu Wu: "You scared people!"
Lu Wu said angrily: "Look at her sneaky appearance, she is clearly a spy who has infiltrated the Flying Feather Gate!"
"No, I'm not!" Nangong Yan hurriedly said: "I'm just here to deliver chicken soup, not to eavesdrop!"
"People entered the Flying Feather Gate when they were little girls, have you ever seen such an immortal cultivator who has been cultivated into a spy since childhood?" Yin Tiancheng glanced at Lu Wu, then poured a cup of tea and handed it to Nangong Yan, "Don't get excited, speak slowly." ”
After drinking the tea, Nangong Yan's expression softened, and she muttered: "After today's dinner was disturbed by that strange incident, I saw that my uncle only cared about drinking and didn't eat anything, so I made soup overnight and wanted to give it to him." ”
After a pause, Nangong Yan said a little embarrassedly: "I heard a conversation in the room, and I was thinking about whether to knock on the door to report it, and I heard this immortal...... What do you say about the Ten Witches of Lingshan, I was curious for a while, and I, I posted it in front of the door and eavesdropped on it for a while. ”
She was an honest person and had never done such a thing in her life, so her face turned red after she finished speaking, and she was embarrassed to look at Yin Tiancheng again.
When Lu Wu saw her expression, he knew that this weak woman was not lying, so he lowered his tone and asked, "So, did you hear that we were going to save the Ten Witches of Lingshan?"
"Hmm. Nangong Yan nodded embarrassedly.
"The deity warns you, if you dare to leak this matter, I will let you be crushed to pieces, and your soul will be scattered!"
Nangong Yan was speechless in fright, so she could only nod her head Mu Ran.
"What are you doing here, do you gods like to bully girls?" Yin Tiancheng couldn't stand it anymore and reprimanded Lu Wu on the spot.
Now it was Lu Wu's turn to be embarrassed, and realized that he had gone a little too far, so he waved his hand at Nangong Yan and said, "Forget it, you go back, remember not to tell about today's events." ”
Nangong Yan replied in a low voice, got up and left here, but when she walked to the door, she was stopped by Lu Wu.
Before she could turn around and look, Lu Wu had suddenly appeared in front of her, and immediately scared Nangong Yan half to death, and her little heart also jumped with the "plop".
This time, Lu Wu didn't make a murderous appearance to her again, but pointed to the remnants of soup and fragments that had been spilled on the ground, and asked with a smile: "Little girl, did you make this soup yourself?"
Seeing Nangong Yan nodding, Lu Wu sniffed the smell of the soup that was still in the air, and said with emotion: "Well, it's so fragrant!
"Yes. I don't have a talent for cultivation, so I spend all my free time pondering my cooking skills. ”
"Okay, good!" Lu Wu said with a smile, "Do you know what kind of punishment you will receive for offending the gods?"
"You're not finished!" Yin Tiancheng saw that Lu Wu repeatedly intimidated Nangong Yan, and immediately became furious, preparing to forcibly pull him back to the room.
Lu Wu said to Nangong Yan with a smile: "Who made me a handsome and chic, kind and lovely immortal, I won't care about today's matter." But starting tomorrow, you will have to cook a few side dishes for me to eat, and you should make amends for me. ”
Yin Tiancheng couldn't help laughing, only then did he realize that Lu Wu had changed his way to ask Nangong Yan to make good food, so he said: "There is no free lunch in the world, are you embarrassed to eat and drink for nothing?"
"Bah, you still owe me a big meal and I can't pay it back, and I'm asking your subordinates to pay off their debts now, that's a matter of course. ”
Nangong Yan said: "What the Venerable God said is that you can take a fancy to the little girl's cooking skills, which is the blessing I cultivated in my previous life." ”
Lu Wu was greatly benefited by this, so he stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air, and two yellow and clear gold ingots suddenly appeared in his hand, and he smiled and said to Nangong Yan: "Little girl, take it, this is my reward for you." ”
Seeing that Nangong Yan shook his head and didn't answer, Lu Wu couldn't help patting his head and said, "Oops, I almost forgot that you are cultivators, how can you be interested in these mundane things!"
His eyes rolled as soon as he opened his hand and grabbed it again, this time it was cosmetics such as a smug box that appeared in his palm, Nangong Yan was about to reach out to pick it up, but he shook his head sadly.
"I don't even like this, so what do you like?" Lu Wu was surprised.
Nangong Yan said in a low voice: "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that my appearance is too ugly, and no matter how good the cosmetics are, it's a waste to use them on me." ”
Yin Tiancheng was a little sad when he listened, so he said to Lu Wu: "You can't eat other people's things for nothing, I think so, you make Nangong girl more beautiful as a reward." ”
"That's right, why didn't I think of this!" Lu Wu patted his head again and said to Nangong Yan: "Close your eyes quickly, and wait for me to cast a spell to turn you into a big beauty." ”
Nangong Yan was overjoyed, and quickly closed her eyes as she said.
Lu Wu conjured a scarf to cover Nangong Yan's face, and then pressed his palm to her seal hall.
When he recited a spell in his mouth, a golden warm current poured into every part of Nangong Yan's face through the scarf.
At first glance, Nangong Yan looked like she was wearing a golden mask, and when the light dimmed, the originally white scarf had become jet black, and it seemed that all the ugly factors of Nangong Yan had been absorbed by it.
"Next, it will be the time to witness the miracle!" Lu Wu was proud, and reached out to remove the black scarf.
But the next moment, Lu Wu's face was like ashes, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
Yin Tiancheng's face also changed, and he said coldly: "What, do immortals also like to brag?"
Only Nangong Yan stood in place in a daze, and she found that her face had not changed in the slightest from the bronze mirror on the table.
