Chapter 44: Nine and Ten
It was precisely because of this sudden thought that my expression became subtle unconsciously.
Houtu, Luo Xu.
Obviously, although we in Zhu Yuanzhang's underground imperial mausoleum almost died at the hands of Luo Yu Liutian who was recruited by those six people with the method of attracting gods, there is no doubt that the one who taught these six people to summon Luo Xu's six heavenly supernatural powers with the method of attracting gods is now the Yihe who has already become a companion.
From this alone, it is not difficult for us to be sure that Yi He is not lying to us, and he has indeed obtained the legendary Houtu relics in addition to his own Guigu inheritance.
And since Yi He is responsible for the relics of Houtu, and at the same time has the method of summoning Luo Yu for six days, will he cause some accidents to happen in this Luo Yu City, which is already under the control of Houtu?
Juekong may not have expected that after he said the word Luo Yucheng, everyone's eyes looked at Yihe in unison, and after seeing everyone's reaction at the moment, he finally couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Fellow donors, I don't know what's going on, looking at your appearance, you seem to know something about this Luo Yu City?"
Hearing Juekong's inquiry, we remembered that when we were in Zhu Yuanzhang's underground imperial mausoleum, we didn't know Juekong, so he naturally wouldn't know what we were experiencing at that time.
As the saying goes, there is no suspicion of employing people, and there is no need to suspect people, and now we have chosen Juekong as our companion, so there is no need to hide it from him about what happened at the beginning, since he is puzzled, then we naturally want to let him roughly know what happened at the beginning.
"Master Juekong, that's right."
However, before I could explain, Shen Lang on the side rushed to speak before me.
"Our group once went to Zhu Yuanzhang's underground imperial mausoleum, and at that time, Yihe was still hostile to us, and it was in that underground imperial mausoleum that we had a conflict with his subordinates......"
"I see, I never expected that Yihe and the donor would still have such an identity."
As Shen Lang spoke emotionally, Juekong quickly understood why we had such a reaction at this time, and after listening to the story that had happened at the beginning, his eyes couldn't help but look at Chunting, and the look on his face was full of surprise.
"But since Yi and the donor are behind the relics, then this trip is really destined, maybe in this secluded land, the donor will have unexpected gains."
After hearing what Juekong said, Yi He was still unclear, in this secluded place, there may be another inheritance that belongs to Houtu, so he looked straight, and immediately bowed to Juekong, his expression was extremely serious.
"It seems that the master seems to know something, if the master doesn't mind, then please ask the master to explain it."
"Amitabha, since he is now a companion along the way, why should the benefactor be so polite."
Seeing Yi He's serious appearance at this time, Juekong hurriedly returned the salute, and at the same time said what he just said.
"As we all know, this secluded land originally belonged to the legendary Houtu, but when the predecessors of Guiguzi discovered this place, the legendary god had long since disappeared, leaving only a special existence in this secluded land."
With that, Juekong raised his right hand and stretched out into the distance, allowing us to follow the direction of his finger.
"This secluded capital is actually composed of nine cities, donors, please see, in the direction of my finger, there are the other eight cities that belong to the same place as this nine secluded cities, except for the name, these nine cities are not different in shape."
Hearing this, we can't help but wonder a little.
Just now, Juekong had already let us look at these cities from afar, so why do we need to do it now? Parkway
"One, two, three, four...... Nine, nine? Nine! ”
Just before we understood Juekong's true intentions, the careful Xue Nan whispered a voice like a count, and after a few confirmations, she turned her head to look at Juekong, as if she had found something that we hadn't noticed.
"Master Juekong, did you just say that this secluded capital is composed of nine cities?"
"As the saying goes, there are nine layers in the sky and nine shades in the earth, and the reason why there is such a saying is partly because of the nine cities in this secluded land."
It seemed that he didn't expect Xue Nan to suddenly ask such a question, Juekong was stunned for a while, and then showed a meaningful smile.
"I don't know if Xue Nan's sponsor found something, otherwise why would he suddenly ask such a question?"
"If you're sure that the capital is made up of nine cities, then I've seen something wrong."
After getting Juekong's answer, the doubts on Xue Nan's face did not disappear, but became more and more intense.
"Master, I just looked in the direction of your finger, and although I couldn't see the specifics clearly, I could vaguely see the general appearance of those cities."
"But after I accidentally counted the outlines of these cities, I found that there were a total of nine cities in our sight!"
Listening to Xue Nan's words, and looking at her extremely excited expression at the moment, we couldn't help but look at each other.
Juekong has confirmed that this secluded capital is originally composed of nine cities, so shouldn't it be a matter of course for us to see nine cities?
In this case, why did Xue Nan react strangely to this number?
"We have the rough outline of nine cities in our sight."
After seeing the puzzlement in our expressions, Xue Nan explained aloud to us with an excited face.
"But have you forgotten that the Nine Hidden Cities where we are now are not in our sight, that is to say, after adding the Nine Hidden Cities where we are now, there are no longer nine cities in this Hidden Capital, but a total of ten cities!"
Nine?
Ten?
After hearing Xue Nan's loud explanation, everyone hurriedly looked in the direction that Juekong had just pointed, and after some confirmation, everyone finally suddenly realized.
Xue Nan is right, not counting the Nine Secluded Cities we are in now, within our line of sight, the general outline of the other nine cities can indeed be faintly seen.
And there is nothing wrong with the logic in her mouth just now, the nine cities she saw in her eyes, plus the nine secluded cities we are in now, are ten cities, which is obviously not in line with the nine cities that Juekong just said.
And since there are two theories, nine cities and ten cities, there is no doubt that the focus of the matter must be in the tenth additional city.
This extra tenth city may be the harvest of Juekong's game just now.
