The Dust Scroll: The rivers and lakes are turbulent, and the young man is determined to break into the cage Chapter 80 The Hidden Pond is lost
No one knows what kind of secrets are hidden under the water of this blue pool. It's just that decades ago, there was a rumor in the rivers and lakes that a white-clothed soldier traveled thousands of miles with a sword, captured a behemoth in a mysterious swamp, and imprisoned it here.
In order to hide people's eyes and ears, the special people dug up such a deep pool hundreds of zhang square within three days. It's just that it is claimed that there are lakes here, and there are man-eating spirits in them, and the living are not allowed to enter. Every year, on the day of the sting, the white-clothed men will bring thousands of cattle and sheep to come here for silence, and only leave after the bottom of the lake has calmed down.
Occasionally, some people saw the vision here, and they did not dare to come forward for fear of rumors. Those who have good deeds come to explore, and they are gone. Since then, the secluded pond here has been listed as a forbidden place in the Later Tang Dynasty, and there are heavy guards thirty miles away, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach again.
And this white-clothed man is Nalan, the owner of Mingyue Tower, and the "spirit" hidden in the lake is the pet he captured from the northern swamp of the Nine Abysses Dirt Land. As for why anyone likes this kind of thing, it is unknown. It's just that Nalan comes here every year on the day of the sting, and it never changes.
This time, Mingyue Tower is recruiting talents, I don't know who had a whim, or Nalan is secretly killing him, and he actually wants to make the secrets that have been buried here for many years public. But whether or not this secret can be brought out depends on the ability of these eager people.
At this time, they stayed in the hut, full of expectations for tomorrow's "Wendou". It is the destiny of the warriors to be aggressive, but they don't know what kind of test they will face.
The "bystanders" on the other side heard a different story from the mouth of the old man in brocade clothes, which is in the same vein as the rumors, but it is more exciting, and people can't help but be secretly speechless.
When Gao Qianzhan heard that there were "spirits" in that dirty land here, he couldn't help but be a little worried, so he pulled the sleeve of the old official's shirt and muttered in a low voice: "Grandpa Wu, what this old gentleman said is true?" Is there really that behemoth hidden here? Or is it just a pretext? ”
The old official's family was unusual, his face was contemplative, and he did not immediately answer the question of the high-potential exhibition. Instead, he secretly glanced at the head of the Gao family, not knowing what he was thinking at this time. Xu is high diving exhibition persistence made him in a dilemma, and the old official family only said after confirming it again and again: "I will know tomorrow, but that kid, I'm afraid there will be more than one luck." ”
After telling the rumors, the old man in brocade and gorgeous clothes signaled the servants to lead everyone down to rest, but secretly signaled the five princes to stay, as if he had something to say. After listening to Mr. Wang's straightforward explanation, the five princes were already very worried in their hearts, and their previous ambitions had drifted out of the clouds, and they began to retreat.
At this time, he was stopped by Mr. Wang, and he couldn't help but be even more frightened, so he could only take advantage of the situation and said: "Mr. Wang, I won't participate in tomorrow's 'Wendou'." Manager Wang squinted his eyes in a scheming manner, looked at the five princes in front of him, and thought in his heart.
The person in front of him was big with his hand, and he remembered that when the fifth prince first entered the palace, he was still a stunned person who didn't understand everything. At that time, the lord of the kingdom did not treat her very well, but only rewarded her with a view, and let him stay by himself, and did not favor her.
But in the eyes of the king, this person will be of extraordinary character, and one day he will receive the emperor's favor. Therefore, at the beginning of the fifth prince's mother's entry into the palace, she deliberately stammered and paid special attention to her affairs. And at that time, Wang Itch was just a sleeping eunuch, and he was not so respected.
It is this little by little accumulation of affection that makes the five princes gradually feel close. On a snowy night after entering the palace for several years, the lord of the country walked alone between the inner palaces and unknowingly came to the palace of the five princes.
Under the secret arrangement of Wang Qi, the ghost made a god walk in. At this time, the people in the palace had already played the song of their hometown under the moon. The lord of the country was originally upset, who would have thought that this little song in a corner of peace would actually meet the heart of the lord of the country, and let a person also enter the heart of the lord of the country.
In this way, the mother of the five princes gained momentum with one move, and they rose step by step from then on. When there are five princes, it makes the lord of the country happy. And the five princes have been born exquisitely since they were young, and they are deeply loved by the lord of the country. And that king itch also changed and became the head of the Great Inner King, and since then he has become a "nine thousand years old" above 10,000 people under one person.
And the five princes have followed Mr. Wang since he was a child, and he has been involved in temples and rivers and lakes, and he came to Mingyue Tower this time, but he wanted to join in the fun, but he didn't expect that the lord of the country was still not at ease, so he still let Mr. Wang follow.
The fifth prince thought that the king would let him quit and watch from the sidelines. But unexpectedly, when he intended to withdraw, Manager Wang said something like this: "Tomorrow's 'Wendou' is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if the prince can seize it, then he can soar into the sky." ”
After saying this, the five princes were confused. At this time, the chief manager of Wang suddenly approached and continued mysteriously: "Does the prince know what is hidden under the deep pool? The fifth prince pretended to be serious and said: "Didn't you say that the 'spirit' caught back from the dirt swamp again?" Are you going to send me to my death? ”
Manager Wang smiled ghostly again, but this smile was too penetrating, and anyone seemed to feel that he was not well-intentioned. But the fifth prince has been with the old fox for many years, and if it weren't for the great benefits, he would never let himself risk himself.
What's more, if the lord of the country orders him to protect him thoroughly, the king will not act rashly. Thinking like this, the fifth prince stabilized his mind and said, "Is there any great benefit? ”
Manager Wang looked pleased, and still leaned into the ear of the fifth prince with that scheming white face and said: "There is a thing named 'Ambergris Pearl', and I learned that I can win the world." Chief Wang's words exploded in the ears of the five princes, making the five princes, who were still worried, suddenly become hideous.
This is tantamount to a shot in the heart, hitting the heart of the five princes in a dilemma. In recent years, although he has won the love of the lord, he has been increasingly excluded by other brothers, and he has been gradually marginalized in the court because he has no meritorious service.
Although this time I am here to join in the fun, it can also be said that I am here to recruit talented people. At the same time, seek the support of Mingyue Tower. This is the meaning of his mother, and in fact, it is also the meaning of the lord of the country. If we win the Ninth Five-Year Plan one day, without these supports, I am afraid that many incidents will arise.
The fifth prince made up his mind, so he stood up and clasped his fists and said to the chief manager Wang: "Since Grandpa Wang has the intention to cultivate, then the king will obey the mandate of heaven." "Although Mr. Wang is light on the surface, his heart is already turbulent, and he has been planning for many years, just waiting for today.
It's just that it is not easy to hide from the owner of the Mingyue Building. I have been dormant in Mingyue Tower for so many years, and in order to gain Nalan's trust, I have almost no means to get to where I am today. Finally, I waited for this opportunity.
As for why Nalan didn't seize the Heaven and Earth Creation "Ambergris Pearl", Wang Qi still hasn't figured it out. As the saying goes, the building near the water gets the moon first. Wang Qi has been whispering beside Nalan all these years, and he wants to find out the origin. But Nalan didn't care about the creation at his fingertips, but he cared too much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, even to the point of madness.
Take the battle a few years ago as an example, it was originally a small friction between Mingyue Tower and a Jianghu sect, but under the auspices of Nalan, it turned into a massacre. One side of the sect was overturned overnight, and it became a taboo that no one in the rivers and lakes dared to mention again.
It stands to reason that Nalan is murderous, but he has done a lot of good things, helped and promoted many people in the rivers and lakes, and let them have their own place. Let the already stormy rivers and lakes rejuvenate again.
Therefore, in Wang Qi's opinion, Nalan's city is too deep, just like the lake where he keeps "spirits". And this person's whereabouts are erratic, and the rivers and lakes know very little about his rumors, let alone other secrets.
From Wang Itch to Manager Wang, he has experienced so many years, and now he can't bear it anymore. Sandwiched between the lord of the country and Nalan, the kind of frightened heart that walks on thin ice, every hour of every day, makes him unable to settle down. It was a fear that came out of his body, and whenever he wanted to see these two men, he thought it was the last time.
He wanted to withdraw from this humility that did not see the light of day, so that he could hold his head high and be an upright person. Although it is in its last years, the ambition is still there. That is to assist the five princes to ascend to the throne of the country, expand the territory, achieve a prince, or go further, to touch the unattainable immortality.
And all this, Nalan, the owner of Mingyue Mansion, has easily taken it into his arms, but he still has to survive like this, and he has to work hard. He is unwilling, he is angry at this injustice, why can he only become a glorious eunuch in front of people and spurned in the back, but the owner of Mingyue Mansion can be so happy and hateful.
Maybe this is his last obsession, and all this hope is pinned on this time.
The five princes, the proud work that they have worked so hard to cultivate, are finally going to come in handy. At this time, the five princes were still immersed in the monstrous pie of the head of the king, looking forward to the future that was about to be at their fingertips.
On the other side, Gu Xing was crowded among the rough men at this time, listening to the snoring one after another, and fell into deep thought. I'm just so small, let people play with it.
It was more accurate to say that not so long ago the lake, or rather the pool. I clearly felt the huge pressure. It's just that such a bloodthirsty and murderous thing is unique to non-human creatures, and it must have been eaten with blood for many years to have such a dark and scorching ferocity.
Gu Xing was calculating at this time, because there were still several people like him, they were sitting or standing, and they didn't fall asleep. just looked coldly at the people in the hut, without the slightest pity.
This is an expression of looking at the dead, and from the expressions of these people, Gu Xing saw some clues. Just like at the beginning, these people are probably also the spies planted by Mingyue Tower among them, monitoring everything.
Gu Xing gave birth to a trace of pathos for no reason, this was not an emotion he should have at his age. But at this time, he can't help but have such feelings, just because he knows what he will face tomorrow. Tonight may be their last night for the people in this hut, and tomorrow they will be buried at the bottom of the lake, never to be awake again.
