Chapter 403: Interlocking
"I have a guess about that."
The Western Demon General is relatively abstract to Zhang Lie and other Easterners, and Lu Xiao told everyone the true identity of Dugu Ningke in a conjectural statement.
"Is it a spy sent by the Western Demon King......
Among the people present, except for Lu Xiao, it was the old Jianghu Zhang Lie who had the most extensive knowledge.
Zhang Lie, a mixture of Turkic and Han Chinese, had been active in the Western Regions in his early years to avenge his father's death, and he had heard about the legend of the Great Demon King Satan from a merchant from Europe.
Catholic Europeans were very afraid of Satan, but most of them did not see Satan with their own eyes.
In this age of information development, the story of Satan and his demons was only circulated in the form of rumors.
However, Lu Xiao knew that in Xuanyuan Sword's worldview, Satan did exist, and he had appeared on the other side of Xuanyuan Sword's Three True Stories: Cloud and Mountain.
Zhang Lie pondered for a moment and then asked Lu Xiao, "Brother Lu, you shouldn't make this kind of guess for no reason, right?" Where does the clue come from? ”
Lu Xiao began to speak seriously: "I used to be active in Persia, Dashi and Constantinople, and I also knew a little about the Western belief system. ”
"Hexagram is rarely used in the East, and it is a common mark in Western Judaism, also known as Solomon's Seal."
"The Road of Babel reminds me of the Tower of Babylon built by the Kingdom of Babylon, also known as the Tower of Babel, which is said to have been built by a certain Babylonian king to reach the heavenly realm, symbolizing the tower of the gods who climbed heaven."
"Yongzhen and Jing Qiu had contact with Yuwen Tuo's subordinate general Yang Shuo before, and after defeating him, they inadvertently pulled out some seemingly unimportant information."
"Including the Ten Thousand Soul Blood Beads, many of the plans used to replace the ancient artifacts to arrange the Void Array were all told by Dugu Ningke to Yuwen Tuo."
Lu Xiao tapped his fingers on the table and asked, "Where did a Great Sui County Lord, who has lived in the boudoir all year round, learn about these Western secret techniques?" ”
"During this period of time, Yongzhen and I have been keeping a close eye on the Dugu County Palace, and we found that the identities of the two personal maids under Dugu Ningke are strange."
Lu Xiao turned his head to look at Chen Jingqiu: "Jingqiu, when you and Xiaoxue were following Yongzhen to take the Pangu Axe, did you hear the ancient ancestor of Pangu talk about the name 'white-haired little fox'?" ”
Chen Jingqiu's face moved: "Yes, but we don't know who this title refers to." ”
Lu Xiao smiled and explained: "It's the Ancient Moon Sage, he is a thousand-year-old white fox cultivation formation, although there is no trace of his body as a fox for a long time, but his unique aura that is different from the human race impresses me deeply." ”
"I felt a similar aura from Dugu Ningke's maid, Yu Chi Yanhong, that woman should also be a thousand-year-old fox spirit who has cultivated into a human form."
"Vixen?!"
Yu'er exclaimed in surprise: "Is there really a spirit that can completely transform into a human form?" And they're hiding around us? ”
"Don't get excited."
Lu Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said: "Not all spirits who cultivate into human form are evil, and there are also many spirits who want to live an ordinary life as human beings, and they quietly integrate into the human world and will not easily show any horses' feet. ”
"Isn't Gu Yuesheng a representative? Transformed into a human form in the form of a fox spirit, he cultivated into an immortal because of his many good deeds, and is now respected by you as the Guyue Immortal. ”
As soon as the conversation changed, Lu Xiao turned the topic back again: "So far, we have not found evidence of Yu Chi Yanhong's evil deeds for the time being, but she and another maid, Shan Xiaoxiao, secretly built a huge network of relationships under the instructions of Dugu Ningke. ”
"This special network of contacts provides Dugu Ningke with a huge amount of information, if she intends to use this information for evil...... The consequences are unimaginable. ”
Zhang Lie condensed his eyebrows and asked, "Since all kinds of evidence show that there is something wrong with the Dugu Ningke County Lord, Brother Lu, what are you going to do?" Directly enter the county lord's mansion to eliminate the aftermath forever? ”
Lu Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If it were me when I was young, I might have carried out the decapitation tactic regardless of it. ”
"Maybe it's because I'm getting older that I have more things to think about, and now I'm more inclined to take a safe approach."
Yu'er pursed her lips and interrupted Lu Xiao's words: "It's like how old you are now, aren't you only in your 20s?" ”
"Hehe~"
Lu Xiao tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Yu'er, don't judge a person's age simply by appearance, before the immortality barrier is broken, can you tell how old the Queen of the Di Race is?" ”
Without waiting for Yu'er to react further, Zhang Lie raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Lu, is it possible that you have a magic weapon or spell that can last forever?" ”
Lu Xiao smiled noncommittally: "Sort of, but this question is not important." ”
"The important thing is that we have to find a way to lure Dugu Ningke to reveal the fox's tail, and expose her true face to Yuwen Tuo as much as possible."
Yuwen Tuo holds the incomparable Xuanyuan Sword, and he is the reincarnation of the Kunlun Mirror, and the power exerted by the combination of the two artifacts is by no means just a simple 1+1=2.
If it is not a last resort, Lu Xiao really doesn't want to tear his face with Yuwen Tuo, and getting the Pangu Axe is just the last insurance for emergencies.
Lu Xiao moved the topic of youth away, Zhang Lie continued to ask without interest, and followed his words and said, "Brother Lu, you already have a plan, right?" Let's listen to it, and everyone brainstorms together. ”
Zhang Lie learned from Yang Yichen that the Guigu Dao was specially designed for Yuwen Tuo, and Yang Yichen, who was dying, held his hand and left a last wish, hoping that Zhang Lie could bring Yuwen Tuo, who had embarked on a crooked path, back on the right track.
If Yuwen Tuo is always stubborn, at least he must ensure that the Great Sui Taishi who "brings disaster to the world" can no longer do evil.
Zhang Lie is a man of his word, and he will definitely do what he promised.
According to Lu Xiao, Yuwen Tuo's series of perverse actions were all because Dugu Ningke instigated him from the side, and only as a last resort did he issue an order to obtain the blood of ten thousand souls and forcibly summon the people to build the Tower of Babel.
If Yuwen Tuo can see Dugu Ningke's true face, he may be able to give up those cruel plans and return to the right path, which can be regarded as fulfilling Yang Yichen's last wish.
……
When he was in Tianwai Village, Gu Yuesheng made a calculation that the Red Demon Star would break through the sky in mid-September, and it was only two months away.
Without knowing Xiaoxue's true identity, Yuwen Tuo is still trying his best to find Nuwa Stone.
His most loyal subordinate, Hu Lu'an, was digging a tomb of an ancient king left over from the Han Dynasty in Bashu, and it is said that the Nuwa stone was buried in the tomb.
Qin Ding Seal Mirror Stone, of which Ding and Yin are in Lu Xiao's hands, Nuwa Stone reincarnation Xiaoxue also follows on the side, plus as the reincarnation of Kunlun Mirror Yuwen Tuo, only Fu Xiqin is still out.
Yuwen Tuo was grounded by Yang Guang and could not move, and Fu Xiqin, who was guarded by the power of a thousand Buddhas and had the ability to mess with people's minds, could not be taken out.
Considering the urgency of time and the threat of Dugu Ningke, Lu Xiao decided to divide the existing manpower into three operations.
He personally went to the Dunhuang Grottoes to obtain Fu Xiqin, and Zhang Lie led Chen Jingqiu and Yu Xiaoxue to the tomb of the ancient king of Bashu to delay Hu Lu'an's action.
Yongzhen stayed in Daxing City, secretly got in touch with Yang Shuo, who had met before, and revealed to him the news that the Nuwa Stone in the tomb of the ancient king of Bashu was a fake, and vaguely mentioned that someone was secretly coveting the fake Nuwa Stone in Hu Lu'an's hands.
Yu Wentuo, who cherishes his subordinates, will definitely send reinforcements to the tomb of the ancient king of Bashu.
On the other hand, Lu Xiao drew a detailed drawing of the Dugu County Palace, and handed it to Yu'er.
She infiltrated the county king's mansion according to the detailed instructions on the drawings, wrote Yuwen Tuo's next move on the cloth, and left it in the garden pavilion of the county king's mansion.
In addition to Yuwentuo's actions, the cloth also recorded the news that the holders of Shennong Ding and Kongtong Seal were also setting off to the tomb of the ancient king of Bashu to seize the Nuwa Stone.
At the end of the cloth, Lu Xiao painted a sign of Mandela's pentagram, representing that this information came from Satan's hand.
No one knows that Dugu Ningke was possessed by Satan's female demons, and when she saw this mark that would never appear in the East, she would probably believe it.
Before setting off for the Dunhuang Grottoes, Lu Xiao looked deeply at the Dugu County Palace, which was still as calm as ever.
'Next, it's up to you to take the bait, Nicole. ’
