Chapter 440: Belief or Unbelief
(Thank you to the reader for the red reward of "Huang Liangyi's dream champion".) )
The three people at the water's edge looked at each other and saw the truth, but they didn't have the slightest trust in each other.
Hu Guiyang smiled at Qiu Lianshi and said, "I remember you said that the Luo clan has given up his divine power and is willing to be a minion of the East Palace. ”
"I said that." Qiu Lianshi looked at Roche.
Roche smiled slightly, "It's because I'm a minion of the East Palace that I want to help the two of you go to see Huaien and figure out what is going on." ”
"Let's talk about what's going on in the East Palace first." Hu Guiyang said.
"Come with me, this is not the place to talk." Luo turned around and left, Hu Guiyang and Qiu Lianshi glanced at each other and followed.
"It wasn't my plan." Qiu Lianshi whispered behind him, referring not only to Luo's family, but also to the siege of the two factories and the sudden change of Meng Xiu.
"Alas, this is my plan, but not the result I want to see." Hu Guiyang said that he moved Meng Xiu, and "moved" too much, causing Meng Xiu to lose his life.
"I can feel the power again."
Hu Guiyang turned around and glanced at it.
"Not the power itself." Qiu Lianshi explained, "It's the change brought about by divine power, and the feeling of desperately wanting to take it for yourself. ”
"Huh, and then what? Can you resist? ”
"I don't know."
"What about that one?" Hu Guiyang looked at Roche, who was walking in front, and didn't care if she heard it.
"I don't know."
In a small grove, Roche stopped, "Wait for me here." ”
"Where are you going?" Qiu Lianshi immediately asked.
Roche still did not answer, and walked away.
"I don't believe her." Qiu Lianshi whispered.
"Who do you believe?" Hu Guiyang asked.
Qiu Lianshi was stunned for a while, "When it comes to divine power, I can't believe it." ”
"But you can't rely on others."
Qiu Lianshi sighed, "You just asked me if I can resist the changes brought about by the divine power - it seems that I can't, you wait here, I'll hide, if there is an accident......"
"You just run away, don't expose Li Zixing's tricks first, take advantage of his trust, escape from the palace first, and then talk about it, don't worry about me. If Roche hadn't played a trick, you would have reappeared. ”
Qiu Lianshi was stunned for a moment.
"That's what you want to hear from me, right? I've already said that you can go with a clear conscience. ”
"Hey, it's really hard to thank Captain Hu once."
"What is gratitude? I get goosebumps when I hear these two words. ”
Qiu Lianshi said no more, turned around and walked behind the tree.
"It's hard to trust someone because you have to take your own life, but it's even harder not to trust someone because you have to rely on the strength of others. It's interesting, hehe, it's interesting, the heavenly machine ship is also facing such a dilemma: believing in mortals may reveal vital secrets, and if you don't believe in mortals, it can't do what it wants to do. Well, according to this, if there are really ghosts and gods in the world, they will also be in a dilemma: they completely believe in mortals, they are afraid that mortals will make their own decisions, and they will no longer fear ghosts and gods, and they will not believe in mortals at all, and they are afraid of losing more believers, and it will be difficult for ghosts and gods......"
Hu Guiyang was talking to himself, the fire outside had not disappeared, the noise was intermittent, and someone might break into the woods at any time, but he didn't care at all, all his thoughts were on the matter of "believe it or not", the more he thought about it, the more interesting it became.
"What are you muttering?" Someone asked, "Hu Guiyang, you're not going crazy, are you?" ”
"You've been on the island for a long time?" Hu Guiyang asked in surprise.
"Well, I'm one of the hundred Blessing Taoists." Fan Dajian walked over and looked left and right, "Didn't you say that there were two people?" ”
Qiu Lianshi did not show up.
"The other estimate is that I ran away, and I was the only one left. How do you ...... with Roche That's right, you all work for the East Palace, but how could Lizi Province let you land on the island? Why did you wait until now? ”
"I'm too lazy to explain to you, let's change my clothes first, hurry up, it's not hidden enough here." Fan Dajian handed over the robe in his hand.
Hu Guiyang hurriedly put it on.
"And the hair." Fan Dajian took matters into his own hands and gave Hu Guiyang a Taoist bun.
"It's so fast, you usually comb your own hair?"
"I have someone to wait, this is the ability I learned in the past in the Lingji Palace to wait for others, never forget."
"Well, trust others before you can gain their trust......"
"It's useless to say less, you're not even a scholar, what kind of saint are you pretending to be?" Fan Dajian carried the remaining set of robes and led the way in front.
The fire was weakening, the captains of the two factories took off the black cloth and were looking for people everywhere, Fan Dajian reminded in a low voice: "In case you are stopped, don't say a word, pretend to be dumb, and I will answer on your behalf." ”
Hu Guiyang snorted, he believed in Fan Dajian very much.
What Fan Dajian was worried about didn't happen, and some eunuchs and Taoist priests angrily drove away the captain on the island, "Immortal Li is very unhappy, let your boss come over, no one else, leave immediately!" ”
The two factories failed to find Hu Guiyang, and their momentum suddenly decreased, and they did not dare to really challenge Li Zi Province, so they had to leave in a hurry, leaving some small fires, which were extinguished by the monks, Taoists, and lamas themselves.
Hu Guiyang was taken back to the dressing room, where there was no fire, but a few more holes, which became more and more crumbling, and the latrine behind it was burned to the ground.
"This tastes ......," Hu Guiyang covered his nose.
Fan Dajian also wrinkled, "Bear with me, Eunuch Qin has to see you here." ”
Qin Ji, the old eunuch of the East Palace, stood in the open space in front of the building, and there was no one else around.
"Yo, Eunuch Qin is here in person." Hu Guiyang smiled and hurried up.
"Where's the Divine Jade?" Qin Ji didn't talk nonsense and asked directly.
"I don't know."
"What about Qiu Lianshi?"
"He couldn't trust anyone else and ran away on his own."
"Will you take Shenyu away?"
"I don't know."
"Did Shenyu hide here before?"
"I don't know."
"What do you know?"
"I'm just a decoy here, what does Eunuch Qin think I should know?"
Qin Ji didn't speak again.
After waiting for a while, two people came from a distance, obviously Luo in front, and after getting closer, Hu Guiyang recognized the person behind him as Li Zixing.
Seeing Hu Guiyang, Li Zixing was obviously taken aback, "Is he still there?" ”
Hu Guiyang said with a smile: "Thanks to Immortal Li Chang, I'm still alive, I don't even have any injuries, others are not so lucky, they are dead and fleeing, Immortal Li is really too eccentric." ”
Li Zixing didn't even want to say a perfunctory word, so he walked directly in front of Qin Ji, first arched his hand, covered his nose with his right hand, and immediately put it down again, "When did Qin Gong come?" ”
"Soon. Where is the Divine Jade? "Although Qin Ji is a eunuch in the East Palace, he is far inferior to Huai En, Wang Zhi, and Shang Ming in terms of power, but he dares to question directly.
Li Zixing said calmly: "This matter has nothing to do with the East Palace, and Duke Qin shouldn't ask." ”
"I shouldn't ask when Shenyu is here, and I have to ask when I'm not there."
"There is no disrespect, may I ask if Gong Qin is acting on orders? I only look at His Majesty's decrees, others ...... You can't control me. ”
"Alright, I'm going to ask for a decree. These three men came with me. ”
"These two can go, but Hu Guiyang can't."
"Why? He's not your subordinate. ”
"He is ......" Li Zixing had nothing to say at once, he sent Qiu Lianshi and others to rob Hu Guiyang, this matter was carried out in secret, the original plan was to make up for the merits after capturing He Sanchen alive, or simply flee immediately after getting the divine power, and don't care about the merits.
As a result, He Sanchen has not yet appeared, and Hu Guiyang has been discovered.
"Immortal Li is strange, I have to go with Eunuch Qin, I don't mean anything else, I still don't know whose orders Immortal Li is acting on."
Li Zixing suddenly smiled, "Okay, I'll go with you and explain things clearly." ”
Hu Guiyang turned to Qin Ji, "Don't ask again, if Immortal Li goes with us now, Shenyu will definitely not be here, if he will look for us later, that is, he will find Shenyu here, and it is difficult to say whether he can find it or not." ”
Li Zixing's face was ugly, "I'll go with you now." ”
Hu Guiyang and Qin Ji nodded to each other in understanding.
Li Zixing's face became even more ugly, "Where is Gong Qin going?" ”
"Since it's a request, I have to go to see Wynne first."
"Please."
"Please."
Qin Ji and Li Zixing walked side by side, followed by Hu Guiyang and Fan Dajian, and Luo followed last.
The five of them left the island, joined a small Taoist priest halfway, and followed closely by Li Zixing's side.
The imperial city is divided into two layers, Qionghua Island is located in the outer layer, and the inner palace also has a portal, which is closed at night, it is not a hundred thousand urgent, and it is the emperor's will, no one is allowed to open it at any time, and Qin Ji and Li Zi Province can not open the door.
Fortunately, Wynne does not live in the Inner Palace.
As soon as the six people arrived, before they could knock on the door, someone opened the courtyard door and looked at it twice, "Who is Hu Guiyang?" ”
"Me." Hu Guiyang stepped forward.
"Huai Gong wants to see you first, the others please wait."
Qin Ji didn't say anything, and Li Zi said hurriedly: "Isn't it a confrontation?" Why...... Yes, I'll wait a minute. ”
Hu Guiyang followed the janitor into the courtyard and went straight to the middle main room.
Wynne sat at the table, staring at the lamp.
"Huai Gong is really a god, he knows what is going on outside when he sits at home, and he didn't see you send someone to the island to inquire, but he knew in advance that I was going to visit."
"It's nothing, the janitor asks, you're there, let you in, if you're not there, let them find you."
"Hehe, it's worthy of being a celebrant eunuch, looking for someone is so imposing."
"Sit."
Hu Guiyang sat opposite, "Have you smoked incense here?" ”
"What about the jade pendant I gave you?"
"It was snatched by a person named Qiu Lianshi and given to another person named Li Ou, and it is said that Qiu Lianshi did things for Li Xianchang."
"Hey, that's what it says...... Anyway, you lost the jade pendant. ”
"Huaigong really likes to joke, give me a jade pendant with divine power and say it is a divine jade, which makes me flustered, thinking about how to hide the jade every day, and before I can find a suitable place, the jade is gone."
"You've got the power?"
"It's a lot more, it's not as good as a first-class master, but it's not weak, it's more effective than my own hard work for decades."
"That's good, it is said that these skills will not disappear like divine powers."
"It's been a few days since I lost the jade pendant, and I don't feel that my skills have weakened, it seems to be getting stronger."
"That's right."
"What's right? Could it be that Huai Gong didn't plan to give me the divine jade in the first place? ”
"The divine jade was not in my hands in the first place."
"So Huai Gong just wants me to enhance my skills and become a master of internal strength? Thank you, but I really don't think it's worth worrying about. ”
"It's not me who worries, it's someone who asks me to worry."
"Huh? Who has what it takes? Don't...... Your Majesty remembers me? ”
"It's really rare to see someone as confident as Captain Hu."
"Hehe, I'm just a little bolder than others."
"Since you are bold, then guess where the Shenyu is."
"Guess?"
"Of course."
"I want to ask first, did Huai Gong really find the Divine Jade from the armor box?"
"I think it's a divine jade."
"And then Huai Gong handed it in?"
"It's my duty."
"Yes, you can't betray Your Majesty. I guessed wrong because I treated you as a charlatan. Well, then there is nothing to guess, the divine jade is still in the hands of His Majesty. The east and west factories didn't know about it, and continued to look for Shenyu, Li Zixing thought that he would take Shenyu, and Huai Gong thought that His Majesty could finally give up Shenyu, you ...... We've all been deceived. His Majesty holds the Divine Jade in his hand and will not trust anyone, but asks others to believe him. ”
"Don't talk about it." Wynne stopped.
"I don't have much more to say."
"Go to the next room, the person who wants to give you the skill is there, and will explain everything to you."
Hu Guiyang was stunned, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
