Chapter 54: The Truth About the Extermination
Si Nan looked at her quietly, saw the light in her eyes flashed, and knew that the other party was already moved, so he continued: "The rules are dead, people are alive, the black market trading center is so big, there are more transactions that can't be seen in the dark, we just exchange some information, it's nothing, right, mother-in-law?" ”
"Ahem." The old woman coughed lightly, looked Sinan up and down, and said in a low voice, "What do you want to know?" ”
It's done!
Sinan was secretly happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she squatted down, narrowed the distance between the two, and looked serious: "Mother-in-law, do you remember that the Nalan clan was a master of high merit, and the family was in the middle of the road, and finally the whole clan was exiled and killed?" ”
Hearing this, the old woman's expression was shocked, and she nodded after a long time, and said with some anxiety: "What are you asking about this, so many years have passed......
The corners of Sinan's lips raised slightly, and the smile in her deep eyes was deep, and she grabbed the old woman's hand, "It seems that my mother-in-law really knows something?" "Otherwise, it can't be this reaction.
The latter wanted to withdraw his hand, and sneered: "No, I don't know......"
Si Nan grabbed it tighter, word by word: "Since you have promised me, you must keep your word, otherwise I will sue you to the head of the black market, and you will never think of coming in to sell medicinal herbs in the future!" ”
"You!" The old woman regretted that she should not have provoked this evil star because of greed for money, she sighed and said helplessly: "I don't know much, but I happened to be collecting medicine in the mountains that day, and I heard two black-clothed guards who had just finished disposing of the corpses of the Nalan tribe say something. ”
"The Nalan clan is the founding father of Daliang, because he is good at light riding and cultivating army formations, he and the Bai family were called two heroes back then. That year, there was an enemy invasion in the south, the momentum was magnificent, many new generals in the DPRK and China were defeated on the battlefield, the Nalan clan took the initiative to ask for help, and they were stationed in the frontier for five years, during which the good news continued, the Nalan clan defeated the enemy army, the emperor was very happy at first, but then it was not. ”
"I don't know who blew what wind in his ears, the emperor gradually suspected that the Nalan clan was secretly training elite soldiers on the frontier, so they could defeat the enemy army, the enemy was destroyed, the Nalan clan came back happily, but what was waiting for them was the destruction of the whole clan......"
The old woman sighed and said slowly: "Girl, although I don't know what you are doing when you ask about this, I still advise you, this is the emperor's meaning, you can't do anything, give up." ”
But the old woman didn't see it, the person with his head hanging down was already trembling, although the Nalan clan was not her real family, but it was the fusion of memories over the years, and at this moment she had already regarded them as her own family.
Sinan clenched her fists, her teeth clenched, and the fishy sweet breath continued to gush out of her mouth, and she said word by word: "So, those exiled Nalan people were actually secretly eliminated by the emperor?" ”
"yes." The old woman shook her head secretly and sighed: "The execution of the Nalan clan was originally the emperor's attempt to understand his suspicions, and what he did was not right, how could he give himself trouble, of course, he must get rid of all of them." ”
Just to understand their suspicions, they killed hundreds of people from the Nalan clan? Just to understand their doubts, they destroyed the loyal ministers who were loyal and expanded their territory? Fu Hong, you are really a wise man!
She originally wanted to go to the exiled land in the future to find those young people, it seems that she thinks of this emperor too well, and she doesn't even let go of underage children!
So the mother of the original owner should also be ......
"Thank you, mother-in-law, this is your reward." Sinan took out a piece of silver and put it in front of the stall, and with a wave of his hand, he received those medicinal materials into the space.
"It's okay, the old lady reminds you a lot, don't make trouble."
"I know." Sinan smiled faintly and turned to leave, and at the moment she turned around, fire burst out from her deep eyes, and her bloodthirsty momentum was like a killing god.
Fu Hong, and the villain who blew the wind in the emperor's ears, the people who killed the Nalan clan, don't even think about running!
Knowing the truth about the destruction of the Nalan clan, the excitement of the first arrival at the trading center was also worn out by more than half, Sinan walked in the market with the purpose of strolling, and the noisy sounds around her were automatically blocked out by her, and she didn't notice it for a while and bumped into a person.
"Oops!"
Sinan felt a pain in his head, and when he looked up, he saw that she had hit a person, and the things in his hands were scattered.
"I'm sorry, are you alright?" Sinan hurriedly apologized and leaned over to help him pick up things.
"It's okay, it's okay."
The two picked up the things and put them back in the bag, Sinan looked up, this was a white-bearded and long-haired monk, who looked quite a bit of fairy wind and bone.
The latter also thought about her, as if she squinted her eyes to see clearly, and suddenly asked: "Xiaoyou, how can you come to the black market empty-handed, I have a Dan furnace here, do you want to buy it?" ”
Dan furnace? The pills she brought out from the Secret Sect were also running out, and she really needed to replenish them, but unfortunately there were really no good pill furnaces in Kyoto City.
Moreover, the Dan furnace used by professional alchemists is not as bulky as that of mortals, like the Dan furnace taken out by the monk in front of him is only the size of a palm, and the whole body is beautiful purple and gold, shining under the sun, and it looks very extraordinary. The Dan furnace was also engraved with mysterious runes, and sometimes there was a flash of silver light.
She lifted the lid of the furnace and looked inside, there was a small purple vortex that was slowly rotating, as if there was a nebula circulating endlessly, as if to suck people's eyes into it.
This thing, at first glance, is not ordinary, but just ...... It's a little strange that it didn't sell on this crowded black market.
Sinan took the small furnace in front of him and looked at it carefully, gently stroked the runes on the furnace, and asked, "This Dao Master, can you tell me the origin of this Dan furnace?" ”
The monk stroked his long beard and said eloquently: "Little girl, do you know that Lan Xun Country, one of the five great powers of the Yanwu Continent, has a spirit beast forest next to it, and three hundred miles away from the forest, there is a place called the Illusory Realm?" ”
The original owner had no memories of any illusory realm, so she shook her head honestly, "I don't know." ”
"There are many magical illusions in this world, which are open to the world from time to time, and the conditions for entering them are all different, but this illusory realm is a very special one. It allows monks who have built a foundation to go in to hunt for treasures, and they will be teleported back after twenty-four hours, and no two treasures obtained from it are the same, and what you can get depends on luck. ”
The monk pointed to the Dan furnace in Si Nan's hand and said with a smile: "This Dan furnace is what I took out of it, if it weren't for the family's urgent need for money, I wouldn't have sold it." ”
He coughed lightly twice and said in a low voice: "Moreover, I have tried this Dan furnace, no matter the pill refined with it, the refining speed and the speed of the Dan can be increased by half. ”
Halfway? That's quite impressive!
Her eyes lit up, it was not that she was not confident in her alchemy skills, but that the more pills there were, the better.
But before she could speak, she heard a passer-by next to her interject: "You dare to buy old man Geng's things, little girl, be careful that your house is haunted!" ”
What do you mean?
At this time, another man and a woman came up, glanced at the Dan furnace in Sinan's hand, and couldn't help laughing: "Girl, it's not me who hit you, although Lao Geng took this thing out of the illusory realm, he was cursed, otherwise why do you think he wants to sell such a good thing?" ”
The man also chimed in: "Yes, I also wanted to buy it just now, and I was ready to pay, but I felt that the Dan furnace bit me, and then I saw that there was a huge grimace on the Dan, it was so terrifying, I didn't dare to buy it home!" ”
"You, you are talking nonsense, this is a treasure taken out of the illusory realm, what kind of cursed thing is it, if you don't buy it, don't mess with my business, go, hurry up!"
The old man's face turned red, his eyes kept dodging Sinan, and he finally drove away the group of melon-eating people.
He smiled at Si Nan, pursed his lips and said, "Girl, don't listen to that group of people's nonsense, it's just that you are red at this thing, don't care, don't care......"
Sinan also smiled, her clear eyes were incomparably piercing, and the old man felt weak for a while, she dragged the Dan furnace and said slowly: "This Taoist chief, the so-called no wind and no waves, if there is really no such thing, where do the rumors come from?" I really like this Dan furnace too, it just so happens that I have someone at home who can get rid of demons, if you tell me the truth, I might buy it. ”
The old man's face flushed, and he paused for a while before sighing: "Alas, this matter is actually not as suspenseful as they say, it's just ...... But I took the furnace from a dead man. ”
His voice was slightly deep, and he fell into thoughts: "I have been cultivating diligently in my life, but I have achieved nothing, I am still in the Qi Refining Realm at an age, and I was going to quit the martial arts cultivation line and go home to retire, but a month ago, I received an invitation from the Illusory Realm, I was ecstatic, and when the time came, I went in to hunt for treasures." ”
He shook his head secretly, with a somewhat sad expression: "It's a pity, I'm too old, and the competition in the illusory realm is fierce, I can't get the treasure at all, and I'm about to return empty-handed, just when I bump into a young man who was beaten to only half a life, and he is holding this Dan furnace in his hand." ”
"I know some medical skills, I wanted to save him, but he was too weak, and saving was a waste of medicine, and finally ...... In the end, he could only watch him die and take the Dan furnace from his hand. ”
The survival of the fittest, this is the state of existence in this world, she understands.
Speaking of this, the old man suddenly showed a frightened expression, and even his voice trembled a little: "But after I came back, I had nightmares every night, and the dream was full of the man who told me to pay for my life, and ...... And every time I use this furnace for alchemy, there will be a grimace on the furnace, and I think it is the man's wronged soul attached to it, and I am exhausted by this thing, so I want to resell it on the black market. ”
