One hundred and sixty-eight There is a conspiracy
"What did you say? How dare I have such a mind? I'm just a little curious about people who can teach people like adults. ”
The man listened to Shuxuan's words, for fear that she would misunderstand what he thought about her because of this, so he hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Put away your curiosity. Don't ask if you shouldn't know, knowing too much won't do you any good. You should continue to tell me about this outside world! ”
Shu Xuan looked at the man coldly and said, there was no expression on his face, and the man was a little scared when he saw Shu Xuan's appearance, and nodded again and again.
"Senior, just now I said that the city lords of the three cities here are all cultivators at the peak of the Yuan Infant Stage, but there is no peace between these three cities, and each of them secretly wants to swallow the other."
"It's just that because the three city lords have been rooted here for a long time, and each of them has attracted a lot of high-level monks, the three parties are not sure that they can annex other cities, in order not to give others the opportunity to profit, so the city lords of the three cities are all accumulating strength in the dark, hoping that one day they can annihilate each other in one fell swoop."
"Then which city lord do you belong to? What was his purpose in sending you to this village? ”
After listening to the man's words, Shuxuan asked a question that shocked the man.
"You... What do you mean by that? Why can't I understand? ”
The man's eyes widened in surprise at Shu Xuan's question, and he stammered as he looked at Shu Xuan. He thought about what he had said since he met Shuxuan, and found that there was nothing special? Why was he suspected?
"You don't have to pretend, although you didn't say anything after you appeared, but you don't want to think about it, you are an immortal cultivator in the foundation building period, and if you don't cultivate well, you still go to such an ordinary small mountain village, and you kill livestock and skin people every day, and then kill people and skin people, are these things normal? Are you really thinking I'm a fool? ”
Shu Xuan looked at the man kneeling on the ground with a mocking expression and said.
"Senior, I did these things, but no one arranged for me to do them, I will do that because I have a grudge against these people in this village, my parents were killed by them at the beginning, I was only five years old and was forced to leave here, but then I had a chance to embark on the road of cultivating immortals, and now I have finally succeeded in cultivation, since I want to come back to find those people for revenge."
The man listened to Shuxuan's words, lowered his head and said, with a hint of resentment in his tone, as if he really had some great enmity with the people in this village.
"Huh! Do you really think I'm a fool? You say you're back for revenge? But do you know what the elixir you just took out is? This kind of thing is not something that you can get as a minor monk in the foundation building period. ”
Shu Xuan sneered after listening to the man's quibble and debunked him.
"Pills? That's when I once accidentally entered a magical place, and it was there that I got these elixirs. ”
The man did not panic when he heard Shu Xuan's questioning, but quickly said a reason.
"You really don't cry when you don't see the coffin! Do you think this is just an ordinary elixir? You really don't know what he's doing and what makes him special! ”
Shu Xuan looked at the man who was kneeling on the ground and lying energetically, and said with a sneer.
"Senior, isn't this just an elixir that can control people? Shouldn't it be strange, right? ”
The man was also confused by Shu Xuan's words, and looked at Shu Xuan with some uncertainty and asked.
"Isn't it strange? Then do you know what your pill is called? Do you know that if you want to practice this pill completely, you must have the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Stage? You said that the person with the highest cultivation in this space is the Yuan Infant Stage, but the pill refining has only controlled the cultivation of the Foundation Building Stage at most, what monk in the Yuan Infant Stage do you think would refine this kind of pill that is like a chicken rib to them? Moreover, your pill is a half-finished product at all, and I am afraid that the pill prescription obtained by the alchemist is also incomplete. ”
Shu Xuan did not hesitate to expose the loopholes in the man's words.
"Senior, didn't you say that this pill is incomplete? Maybe the cultivation of the person who refined this elixir has not reached this realm, so the elixir will be flawed! ”
When the man heard Shu Xuan's words, he immediately seized the loophole in her words, and he looked at Shu Xuan and quibbled.
"Huh! The response is quite fast! It's just a pity, the reason why I told you that this elixir is incomplete, just wanted to test whether you were honest, but I didn't expect you to really think about how to deceive me at any time, fortunately, I kept an extra mind, otherwise I would have jumped so deceived. ”
Shu Xuan slapped the man angrily, and only after knocking him out did he say, if it weren't for the fact that this is a completely unfamiliar space, and he still needs to inquire about the news with the aborigines here, Shu Xuan wouldn't be too lazy to talk so much nonsense with him here!
"You're lying to me? This elixir is not broken? ”
The man didn't seem to expect Shu Xuan to cheat him, and said in surprise.
"I didn't lie to you, this elixir is indeed flawed, but this does not mean that the difficulty of refining it can be reduced, this flaw will only affect its medicinal effect. And it is precisely because of this defect that it must be taken within a month after the refining is completed, otherwise it will lose its medicinal effect, and I have seen the medicine you just gave me, and its medicinal effect is still there! ”
Shuxuan looked at the man kneeling there in disbelief and said.
"It's... How so? ”
The man was dumbfounded when he heard this explanation, and sat on the ground and said to Shu Xuan indignantly, "It seems that you already knew that I came for another purpose, so why did you tell me so much just now?" ”
was exposed by Shu Xuan, and the man no longer concealed it at this time, he felt that Shu Xuan would definitely not be able to stop him, and he also rushed a lot to talk to Shu Xuan, and he had a bit of self-defeating thoughts.
"Nothing, just wanting to ask. Now you can tell me who is behind you, right? And what exactly did he send you here for? ”
Seeing the man like this, Shuxuan asked what she wanted to know.
"I'm not going to say that."
Who knew that when the man heard Shu Xuan's words, he shook his head again and again and said.
"I don't see it, you are so backbone? I'd rather die than betray your master. ”
Shu Xuan saw the man's reaction and said strangely, looking at his previous performance, he didn't look like such a virtuous person.
"Senior, it's my fault for offending you before, you have a lot of adults, spare me this time! If I let my master know that I was the one who revealed his news, he would never let me go. Senior, you are so good-looking, and you must be very kind-hearted, please don't worry about me anymore! ”
But the man was not as backbone as Shuxuan imagined, he quickly knelt in front of Shuxuan and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Stop! You don't think I'm going to stop asking, do you? How is this possible? I've been so inexplicably attacked by you because of this, do you think I'll just give up if I don't figure out what happened? As for what you said, your master won't let you go in the future, but do you think that if you don't say it, I will let you go? ”
Shu Xuan said, and released coercion on the man, Shu Xuan also felt very depressed when she encountered this matter today, you said that she just wanted to ask for directions, but who knew that she had encountered such a bad thing, if she just left, others would still think she was a cowardly person, even if Shu Xuan didn't go to trouble because of this matter in the future, then she had to figure things out first.
"Forget it! Anyway, it's a death horizontally and vertically, so I'll tell you directly! Maybe he wouldn't have known that I had leaked the news so that I could escape! ”
The man was pressed to the ground by the coercion released by Shu Xuan, and he couldn't move, and as the coercion slowly increased, Shu Xuan could even hear the sound of the man's bones, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his face.
In the end, the man also succumbed under this coercion, and as if he had made up his mind, he looked at Shuxuan and said.
"Say it!"
Shu Xuan withdrew his coercion and looked at the man for a long time, waiting for his next step.
"I said before that there are three cities here, and the person behind me is one of them." The city lord of the Black City, I'm just an ordinary person, it was impossible to get in touch with these with my identity, but when I was living there, I happened to meet my master, and my master was the head of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, so I was fortunate to join the City Lord's Mansion, but in fact, I was just an errand runner, and I didn't know much about these things, I only knew that this was arranged by the big people in the City Lord's Mansion, and a lot of people were also arranged in other places, as far as the pill I gave you just now, it was also given to me by my master when I came out, and it is said that everyone who came out this time will carry this pill, as for more, I don't know。 ”
"That's all? Then you still had an expression that you would rather die than say just now? ”
Although the man said so much to Shu Xuan, he didn't have any useful information at all, and Shu Xuan asked with a skeptical frown after hearing it.
"But before I came out, my master told me not to talk to anyone, otherwise if something happens, no one will be able to protect me. Now I've told you all this, I can't go back to the Black City, and I have to hide my whereabouts in the future, so as not to be met by the people in the Black City. ”
After speaking, the man sat on the ground in frustration, looking ahead with empty eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Alright, what are you doing like this? Hearing you say that, the lord of your black city is not a good person, and it's good that you leave. ”
Shu Xuan thought about the information given by the man, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure out what the purpose of doing this was.
I didn't understand Shu Xuan so I didn't want to, but who knew that when I saw the man like that, I kicked him and said.
"To put it simply, I thought of betraying my Black City when I did this, you don't know how heavy Black City's punishment for betrayers is. But when I met my seniors today, it was a fluke that I was able to pick up a life, and I will talk about it when they find out in the future! ”
Seeing that things had developed to this point, the man no longer dwelled up, but just cheered up and comforted himself.
"Then tell me about the situation outside! This is the first time I've been to these cities, so it's better to know a little bit about the situation first. ”
Shu Xuan saw that the man had recovered from his decadent state, so he asked him about the outside again.
After all, according to the news he got now, this should belong to an independent small space, if you want to find a way out, you have to go outside to inquire, and the most likely person to know the news is the so-called city lord of the three cities.
"When I left here, although I had been wandering outside, but at that time I was only thinking about finding a way to keep myself alive, and I didn't know much about the things outside, until I was taken in by my master, I settled down, but at that time, in order to be able to come back and take revenge, I have been focusing on cultivation, in addition to knowing that the city lords of each city are the peak of the Yuan Infant Stage of cultivation, and the city lord of the Black City suddenly announced that he was going to retreat before I came out, and now the person in charge is the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, Then they also recruited a large number of masters, and they didn't know much about other situations. ”
When the man heard Shu Xuan's words, he originally wanted to say more useful things in exchange for Shu Xuan's favor, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that his news was too scarce, so he could only say dejectedly.
"You're really..."
Shu Xuan was also speechless when she looked at the man, she really didn't know how he developed such a strange temperament.
"Oh! By the way, I also heard before I came here that the City Lord's Mansion has been recruiting a lot of talents recently, and such a powerful figure as the seniors will definitely be discovered and won over by them as soon as they go out, whether the seniors are willing or not, it is best to be mentally prepared first. ”
When the man heard Shu Xuan's words, he felt that he was despised, and a thought of not admitting defeat suddenly rose in his heart, racking his brains to think about what news he had missed, but he didn't expect that his thought really made him think of it. He came to his senses in an instant, and said excitedly to Shuxuan.
"Your message is pretty useful. Although there are masters in several cities, I believe that those masters will not run around the city without any trouble, right? The concealment technique that my master gave me is not something that ordinary people can see through, I think if someone hadn't gone outside to talk nonsense, no one would have been able to detect my cultivation, right? ”
Shu Xuan looked at the man and smiled softly, and said in a gentle tone, but the meaning of the words was still obvious.
"Seniors, please rest assured, I naturally won't tell others about my seniors."
The man shuddered with fear from Shuxuan's eyes, and hurriedly assured.
"Don't tell anyone else? So whose person are you? You're going to say yes to your own people, right? ”
Shuxuan will not be coaxed by a man, this kind of simple word game, I don't know how much I have read in modern times, how can I be deceived.
"Senpai, how can I be that kind of person? I just said the wrong thing in a moment, I promise I won't tell anyone? Besides, now that I've messed up this matter, where do I dare to go back? ”
The man looked at Shuxuan helplessly and said.
