Chapter 134: Book Burning

The quest to find the Dreadnought Sword ended in failure, and everyone initially speculated that this Seven Artifacts had fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Omen Sect, and four years later, the Heavenly Omen Cult had revived, and this time they had captured the Dreadnought Sword, and it was unclear what the next conspiracy would be.

Lan Lingxiang and Li Yan borrowed two fast horses from the village, and quickly rushed back to Haojun City from Suhua Village, and relayed the news to President Mo Yi of the Scarlet Moon Adventure Guild.

Mo Yi could only give up the celebration banquet prepared for everyone, she thought that this operation would be foolproof, but she didn't expect that it was the Tianzhao Sect that was the obstruction, the scene four years ago seemed to resurface in front of her eyes, and she felt that she had to meet Ling Wenxuan to ask for the details.

It's just that Ling Wenxuan didn't follow Lan Lingxiang back to Haojun City, saying that there was something waiting for him to deal with in Suhua Village, and he just asked Lan Lingxiang to help him discuss how to deal with the failure of the entrustment, he said that he was afraid of trouble, and he couldn't trust Lan Lingxiang, but when it was really busy, he had to accompany the smiling face and beg the other party for help.

Lan Lingxiang really lived up to Ling Wenxuan's expectations of her, it stands to reason that if the commission fails, Mo Yi's promised 100 million Belen bounty should not be given at all. Given that only one of their nominal adventure groups accepted the commission, Mo Yi had to listen to her terms, and besides, both of them were the kind of people who would not give an inch.

As a result, the wine table set up for the celebration banquet became a negotiation table for two people, and Li Yan, as a mediator, felt very aggrieved.

Lan Lingxiang thought that Mo Yi had to pay 50 million Belen as compensation, so she gave the following reasons: First, when she wanted to help the adventure group complete the commission, Mo Yi deliberately prevented it, so that when the adventure group seized the Dreadnought Sword, there was no helper around them. This is the main reason for the failure of the commission, which she calls the accountability fee of 10 million beren.

This request was immediately rejected by Mo Yi, because it was Ling Wenxuan's intention to prevent Lan Lingxiang from going, and it was for the sake of taking care of her body.

Second, thanks to her clever skills, she was able to get rid of Mo Yi's control, and she was the one who discovered the conspiracy of the Tianzhao Sect, and she was the one who informed the Scarlet Moon Adventure Guild.

Mo Yi shook her head helplessly, if it was hard work, Lan Lingxiang's little errands were nothing at all, and she had no interest in controlling Lan Lingxiang.

Third, after the members of the adventure group carried out the entrusted mission, the medical expenses, mental damage expenses, and compassionate expenses for casualties totaled 30 million behrens.

The reason given by Mo Yi felt that it made sense, after all, for this commission, Wang Zhaolin's brother Lu Juji was killed, and the second uncle of the family died of his son, so he should allocate a sum of money to express condolences.

Mo Yi decided to give only 30 million Belen as compensation, but Lan Lingxiang was still stubborn, and the two argued until late at night, so that Mo Yi finally relented, promised to allocate 40 million Belen to her, and signed her name on a cash check.

The next morning, Lan Lingxiang, who had received the money from the village, rode back to Suhua Village on a fast horse, and for several days, she had eaten and slept well in the adventure guild, praising the warm bedding, exquisite jewelry and valuable collections, and subjectively criticizing the flaws in the layout of the home, and making no secret of her superiority in her words.

On the day of farewell, compared to Li Yan, who made a sorry farewell, Mo Yi casually dealt with a few words and turned around and left.

Along the village path, according to the address given by Li Yan on the note, Lan Lingxiang quickly found Wang Zhaolin's home, because she was here for the first time, and did not know what to call Wang Zhaolin's second uncle and second sister-in-law, asked the second elder and clarified the intention, and the other party let her in.

For this adventure, Wang Zhaolin deceived the second uncle, falsely claiming to be a tour guide, and they also helped hide the truth as companions, making the second elder who lost both his son and adopted daughter both indignant and sad.

Lan Lingxiang took out the money bag containing 30 million Belun and put it in front of the two elders, conveyed President Mo Yi's condolences to them, comforted the two elders' mourning, and inquired about the place where Lu Juji was buried by the way.

To the north of Suhua Village, on the south bank of the Qishui River, is a gently undulating field with a wide variety of flowers, plants, and medicinal herbs, which are used as a place for villagers to gather and graze their cattle on weekdays, as well as to pay tribute to the deceased.

The cold wind almost blew away Lan Lingxiang's knitted hat, she covered the brim of the hat, brushed up her hair, and saw Gui Xun'er standing in front of the tombstone praying in the distance, and Wang Zhaolin squatting on the ground to offer a bouquet.

The weeds around him were as tall as half a man, and some of the graves were hard to find, and it was like a mass grave, and anyone who stayed here for a long time must have been in turmoil in his heart under the influence of this environment.

Gui Xun'er also said that she is a nun and not a detective, and the places she can help are very limited, and it is only her subjective guess that Zhulu is the murderer, and if she meets this person again next time, she will definitely try her best to help Wang Zhaolin find out the truth.

However, the truth was no longer very important to Wang Zhaolin, and he gave up revenge and planned to spend his life peacefully in Suhua Village.

Even if it is a small wish, the efforts made by others to achieve this wish, outsiders should not be denied at will, some people choose to live for the world, there will be people who choose to live for themselves, they are all alive, there is no difference.

Like a wisp of smoke rising in the distance, no wind or wind can prevent it from turning into dust in the sky.

Soon she found that she was thinking too far, she rubbed her eyes and stopped praying, because she found that this was not ordinary cooking smoke, a pungent smell came with the wind, and she quickly asked Lan Lingxiang to go over to see what was going on.

Ling Wenxuan sat cross-legged on the grass, and between his legs was an ancient book he stole in the vast library, "Lin Yun Ji", originally he thought that this book was written by a certain historian of Ziyun Kingdom, until he knew the real history in the Qishui Dragon Palace, the content on it seemed ridiculous, after all, it was in the interests of the ruler to cover up the disgraceful history of the past with falsification, and when there were more people reading a fake book, it would become an old book, and the older the thing, the easier it was to be worshiped by people as an authority.

The "Crackling" that tore open the pages of the book, the "crackling" of the flames, and the questioning of Youna beside him could interrupt Ling Wenxuan's thoughts.

And it's not the first time, when I was a kid, I used to go through the scriptures in the library and found a lot of ridiculous books that didn't correspond to reality, so I paid for them and burned them all. ”

"As for the Purple Cloud Scroll, Mo Yi has confirmed that it is an evil religious sacrament, and as a priest of an orthodox religion, why should I believe in such an evil thing? ”

"The last map of "Qishui Dragon Palace" was asked by Wang Zhaolin to burn it, which can be regarded as an end to this adventure. ”

"Father, there's something I've been trying to figure out. Yuna lay on the lawn with her face sideways, "When I was in the Qishui Dragon Palace, there was a time when my memory was very vague, and afterwards everyone claimed that I had cast a spell to save them, but I was obviously just a Salo, it was as if another 'me' had appeared. ”

"First of all, do you understand the meaning of the word Saro? 'Saro' is an ancient dragon language that is still used today, meaning mortal, but to you Wei people, the pronunciation of this word is a little awkward. Ling Wenxuan took out the lighter box from his pocket and fiddled with it in his hand for a while, "Whether a person is excellent or not depends not on the level of cultivation, but on whether he has enough courage, you have proven this, so why can't that person be you?"

In Yu Na's opinion, Ling Wenxuan's words were encouraging herself, and the other meaning was that she felt that it was not a big deal for her to become a mortal. But what she wanted to know was not limited to that, for example, when she threw herself into Ling Wenxuan's arms in the Qishui Dragon Palace, she was surprised to find that his clothes were dry but the cuffs were wet, or the lighter box in Ling Wenxuan's hand, she had never remembered that he had such a thing before.

You Na vaguely felt that Ling Wenxuan was hiding something from her, and she couldn't say it, and when she wanted to ask, she was interrupted by Lan Lingxiang who ran over, so frightened that she quickly stood up and slapped off the weeds on her body.

"Hey, you're sick! Burn books here, and you're not afraid of starting a forest fire. Lan Lingxiang put his hands to his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and shouted behind him, "The guard nun over there is coming and see! Your priest is doing something bad again, come and stop him!"

But when Lan Lingxiang turned around again, Ling Wenxuan had already cast a spell to extinguish the flames.

Hearing the sound, Gui Xun'er, who rushed over, saw the remnant of "The Legend of Linyun" that was still smoking black, and could only shake her head helplessly: "It's been so many years, you still can't get rid of your bad problem, and it's just a matter of burning "The Legend of Linyun", why do you even burn "Ziyun Ancient Scroll", maybe there are clues to the heart's death." ”

"I burn if I like, you can't control it. Desperate or something, just disappear quickly, I don't need it anyway. Ling Wenxuan said, stood up and turned to Lan Lingxiang, "Have you done everything I want you to do? Except for the money that was compensated to Wang Zhaolin's second uncle, the rest will be handed over to me for safekeeping." ”

Lan Lingxiang bent down and poked Ling Wenxuan's chest a few times: "Miss Ben, send you two words 'efficiency', ask me for money, and send you two words 'no way', but don't forget that I am your creditor, and I haven't asked you for money yet." ”

Ling Wenxuan was so angry that she scratched her hair with both hands, but she had to admit that Lan Lingxiang was reasonable, so she had to turn around and walk in the direction of Suhua Village, facing the puzzled looks of the three women, she waved her hand: "Regarding the next Seven Artifacts, I want to go and ask Master Ban Renji, you guys come with me." ”

Lan Lingxiang's mouth was still chattering, and when she saw Ling Wenxuan covering her ears and running away, she immediately chased after her, seeing this, she bowed her head to Wang Zhaolin, who was still in front of the tomb, and then turned to leave, Youna stood in place for a few seconds, smiled and waved goodbye to Wang Zhaolin, and then followed in the footsteps of Gui Xun'er.
