Chapter Eighty-Four: The Secret Scroll
In the woods not far from the shore of the lake, the dragon's spear was quietly inserted into a skeleton, like a strangely shaped tombstone. Yao Shen stood aside, his eyes indifferent.
I don't know what kind of vision that guy saw before he died, he turned the wheel of life and death upside down, turned the death array into a life array, and finally exhausted his strength, and I don't know whether he fell to death or died from his injuries. After the life array opened, everything regained its vitality, not only did the injuries of his group heal, but even the villagers who died in the poison array came back to life. Of course, after this change, they didn't dare to continue to live in this zero stream, and they moved out of this secret place in the world one by one. Yao Shen didn't care about this, but he was also happy.
And Yao Bin didn't know if it was because he killed too much in his life or died for too long, or for some other reason that couldn't be explained, he became the only person in the Zero Stream who didn't come back to life except for Yan Yu.
Yao Shen was silent for a while, then bit the index finger of his right hand and lightly tapped it at the end of the gun.
Blood trickled down the body of the spear, turning into several hair-like strands of blood, which converged on the surface in the shape of a dragon. Then, with a flick of his fingertips, a gray remnant soul floated out of the tail of the spear, condensing into an entrenched dragon under Yao Shen's index finger. Yao Shen looked at it, suddenly opened his palm, and crushed the dragon soul. At the same time, the dragon pattern on the surface of the spear quickly faded, and once again turned into blood, dripping on the ground.
"Twenty-five years of nightmares, it's time to wake up. Yao Shen muttered and turned to leave.
······
Zero from the stream, Gan Sheng and Li'er walked on the path.
"Gan Sheng, is it necessary for you to do this?" Li'er complained quietly along the way.
"Why is it unnecessary, how can I say that Yan Yu and I have also been in a mercenary group for so many years. It's her seventh day today, can't I go and see her?"
"How do you count the 'first seven'?"
"From, from the time the cliff collapsed. ”
"Phew, don't you mean that Yao Shen killed her?" Li'er rolled her eyes, "What do you want Yao Shen to think?" ”
"I didn't mean that, isn't it just in time for today? It doesn't matter if he's the first seven or not, I'm going to come and see my deceased friend. As for Yao Shen······" Gan Sheng touched his chin, "He's actually a little indifferent in his bones." In the past few days, he should no longer be in the stream, and he may not know where to do chivalrous deeds. ”
Hearing this, Li'er stopped talking, and Gan Sheng shook his head helplessly.
It didn't take long for the two of them to come to the vicinity of the hut where Yan Yu used to live. Turning a small corner of dense forest, Gan Sheng suddenly stopped. Li'er, who was following behind, was caught off guard and hit his head on the Nine Sins Qin that Gan Sheng was carrying behind his back.
"What are you doing?" Li'er asked, covering her forehead and walking next to Gan Sheng.
Under the cliff, rocks were piled up, and a simple hut was built next to it. A clean clearing, with a half-human-high broken stone standing in the middle, the broken stone is cut vertically, and a line of words is hastily carved on the rough section. Although the words are small, they can still see clearly with the eyesight of Gan Sheng and the others, and their techniques are clumsy, and there are a few blurred nicks before the first word, and it can be seen that it was decided to carve the following five words after many alterations - the tomb of the wife Yanyu.
Next to the broken rock, the back of a man, sitting cross-legged in solitude.
"Looks like you don't know him. Li'er leaned on Gan Sheng's shoulder and said.
"It seems to be. Gan Sheng smiled bitterly, raised his head, and spoke after a while, "The collapsed mountain is a burial, and the rocks are a grave, which can be regarded as being buried in the ground." Let's go, Daddy should be in a hurry. ”
The two turned to leave, and Li'er laughed teasingly: "You won't be crying, will you? Don't worry, I won't laugh at you." ”
", you don't seem to know me either. Gan Sheng also laughed.
"He's not going to live here forever, is he?"
"No, I still know a little bit about him. Gan Sheng shook his head.
"How do you know, you just guessed wrong. Li'er asked unconvinced.
Gan Sheng stood and looked back in the direction of the Troubled Stone Mountain, "People like him won't have a home, this is at most a post station for him." He might come back every now and then to see the rain and stay in this shabby house for a few days. However, he will never stay long. ”
"What about you? What kind of person are you?"
"Hehe, let's go home. ”
······
Xiling Empire, Yisang Palace. Shan Huaiyan stood under the Huashi Jade Pavilion, the pool water in front of him was clear, and the willows above his head were shady. He holds a fishing rod carved with jade and gold, and a fishing line made of ice sea wolf silk hangs in the pool. The blood sword slave wore a black robe and carried a heavy sword, guarding the king's side. Mei will kneel on one knee outside the pavilion.
"You just said that you died, didn't you?" Shan Huaiyan said casually while looking at the pond intently.
"Your Majesty, in the early hours of this morning, my lowly subordinates reported back. He had been besieged and killed by the last soldier, Gan Sheng, and Red Charm two days ago, and the cause of his death seemed to be the excessive consumption of life force in the illusion. "The voice of the charm general is very clear, and there is a thin iron rope wrapped around his waist, which is the current charm envoy, Xiu.
"Where's the ghost flying catch?"
According to Yu's report, when the Ghost Sorrow Flying Capture was fighting with the last soldier, the girl named Yan Yu suddenly showed a very powerful ability to stop the Ghost Sorrow Flying Catcher. In the end, Ghost Sorrow Flying Capture kills Yan Yu, and the last soldier kills Ghost Sorrow Flying Catch. ”
"Hmm. Shan Huaiyan still stared at the float calmly, unmoved, "Then, what about the corpse?"
"After his death, he fell into an underground river. For this reason, Yu Zeng secretly dived into the Lingli stream to investigate, but did not find the body, it should have been washed away by the river. ”
"Where is the river at the bottom of the stream?"
"The Zero Stream is located on the sunny side of the Jiling Mountains, and the underground river in it is most likely to flow into the northern tributary of the Zhuan River, the Xiyun River. ”
"That's good, select twenty cautious generals, and set up a guard in the lower reaches of the Xiyun River after the Xiyun River joins the empire, and patrol day and night. Then contact Gao Chen, and issue a warning order in the joint name of the military department and the charm department, and be careful that every dying person in the water, even a floating corpse, must be examined three times. Shan Huaiyan said lightly.
"Isn't this too ······?" Xiu was taken aback when he heard this, and asked tentatively.
Shan Huaiyan glanced back at Xiu, his gaze was not so cold, but Xiu was shocked into a cold sweat and didn't dare to speak again.
"Thirty. Shan Huaiyan turned around and continued to pay attention to his fishing rod, "Select thirty cautious charms, patrol day and night, and watch carefully." This task must not be relieved unless I order it. ”
“······ Yes, sir. ”
"Cultivator, do you think I'm a mediocre master?"
"I don't dare. ”
"Well, there's something to say, but it's okay to say. ”
“······ Your Majesty, this is just a dead man. No matter how powerful he is, that's a lifetime thing. Perhaps he had been washed into a pile of broken pieces in the underground river. ”
"But he's a sting, even if he dies, it's a sting. A year ago, who would have thought that he would be able to defeat the ancient kingdom of Jingchuan on his own. If you don't think about it for the first time, you won't think of it for the second time. Besides, he was undead after all, and I wouldn't be surprised if he came back to life from any corner now. As the envoy of the charm department, you don't pay attention to this, and the charm under your hand will surely be even more slack. So, add ten more. ”
"Yes!"
"How's the matter of the secret scroll?"
"Your Majesty, the last secret scroll has been in charge of Xi until now, and its clues are in the hands of his informant. After Xi's betrayal of the Empire, the informant no longer has contact with the Charm Department, and the lowly government is looking for his whereabouts. ”
"Okay, you're in charge of this matter personally, and you can't make a mistake, understand?"
"Understood. ”
Suddenly, the floating on the fishing line began to sink, and Shan Huaiyan threw up the fishing rod when he saw this. A koi fish the size of a man's forearm was thrown into the air, water droplets glittering in the sunlight. Then, Shan Huaiyan's eyes sank, his gaze was as sharp as an eagle falcon, and as cold as an arrow. Let go of your left hand, flip your wrist, and a wolf's tooth knife slides into your palm. The knife was clumsy, the blade was serrate, the tip was bloody, and the tail of the handle was embedded with a gray-white animal bone, on which was hastily engraved the insignia of the Xiling Empire's army.
In the blink of an eye, the knife swept out, piercing the koi's head with precision, and piercing the pillar in the cloister at the other end of the stone pool, half of the blade sinking into it. The attendant on the side immediately stepped forward, carefully pulled out the knife, wiped the blood on the knife with a gold-threaded handkerchief, and then put it on the jade plate, and the maid sent it back to the fishing platform. The koi fish had one last convulsion in the air and then crippled, a string of blood splattered on the blue water, and its body was thrown directly into the pavilion. Shan Huaiyan didn't need anyone else to do it, he directly took down the dead fish himself and handed it to the attendant on the side.
"Let's go back. Shan Huaiyan clapped his hands, "Promote that Yu's Yulu to a level as a reward." ”
"Yes. "Xiu's eyes showed a different color, not because of Yu, but because of the flying knife in Shan Huaiyan's hand just now. The shot was swift, and the lightning struck the head of the fish that was moving upwards rapidly. Not to mention a pampered emperor, even a battle-hardened veteran may not be able to do it. Moreover, you are an emperor and equipped with a sword, which shows the prudence of his nerves.
When Xiu left, Shan Huaiyan handed the fishing rod to the attendant, took back the flying knife, and sent the others away. In the Jade Pavilion, only he and the Blood Sword Slave were left.
Shan Huaiyan stood with his hands in his hands, walking back and forth in the pavilion quickly, like a tiger trapped in a cage.
"Good!" Shan Huaiyan suddenly stood up and punched the jade pillar, "Good!
He turned around, his face finally couldn't hide his excitement, and he looked at the silent Blood Sword Slave and said, "The six strongest in the world are Qianying, Xuan, Yizhao, Salan, Shan Chenggang and you." Now, Poor Ying died at the hands of Xuan, Shan Chenggang disappeared, and Salan was trapped in the Huangmu Mountains. As soon as this is dead, when the fragments are collected and our army is on the verge of the state, no one will be able to stop us. ”
"But what about the Yizhao?" the Blood Sword Slave finally spoke.
"Rest assured, he has no motive to be our enemy. Shan Huaiyan's expression gradually calmed down, and he smiled slightly, sophisticated and confident, "Even if there is really a time when the two of us are enemies, I am sure that we will turn enemies into friends." ”
“······”
"Don't you believe it, we've collected so many fragments, and we know a little bit about antiquity. Yi Zhao, a powerful half-demon, did not avoid going to the demon domain after the new era, but lurked in the world for three thousand years. I think it's just like you, waiting for a chance to do it all over again. Don't forget, it's from the Wing Zhao clan, and they hate that traitor even more than the other half-demons. ”
"Hey, Xi knows who I am. ”
"It's okay, since I said I want his corpse, he won't have a way to live. And, even if he lives, he is only thinking about his little lover and will not come to us for trouble. Shan Huaiyan didn't care, "Don't be idle during this time, pay attention to the secret scroll secretly, and you can also take action directly if necessary." ”
"Doesn't that mean I'm leaving Yisang?"
Hearing this, Shan Huaiyan slowly turned around and pressed the shoulders of the Blood Sword Slave: "Do you really think that I will treat you as a sword?"
"I know you won't, but this is fate, the fate of our Shan royal family. ”
"That's why we're looking for the Secret Scroll and cutting off this abominable life. Shan Huaiyan's eyes were resolute, "And Mo Cang's old miscellaneous man, when the cooperation is over, I will definitely settle accounts with him and avenge you." ”
······
On the street of Yisangdong, a middle-aged man dressed as a city defense soldier stood in front of a bulletin board, holding a pamphlet in his hand, reading and taking notes. And what he read was "The Exchange Rate of Commodities of All Nations".
Just as he was concentrating on the content of the notice, a white palm suddenly rested on the back of his neck, and a person greeted him enthusiastically behind his back: "Uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you here?"
The man was startled, and when he looked back, he saw a guy with clear eyebrows standing behind him, with a neutral appearance. Looking down, the Adam's apple is not visible on the smooth neck, which is certain that the other party is a woman.
"Haha, girl, you recognize the wrong person. The man smiled, not paying attention, and reached out to take the woman's hand from the back of his neck. However, the moment he touched her palm, the smile on the man's face suddenly froze.
The woman's little thumb and ring finger suddenly arched, and the phalanges slammed into the man's palm and wrist, and the remaining three fingers and palms were still on the back of the man's neck, not moving. With such a blow, the man's right hand was directly knocked into numbness. Although the back of the woman's hand is white, there is a thick layer of calluses on the side of her palm and the tiger's mouth, like a file. The woman suddenly exerted force, and three fingers grabbed the man's neck like a vice. The man's cervical spine suddenly suffered a sharp pain, as if he would be crushed by a huge force at any time.
The man was immediately horrified, but he didn't dare to show it in front of everyone, and he didn't dare to struggle.
"Don't worry, I'm looking for you. The woman said softly.
As soon as the palm of his hand was released, the strength behind the man's neck disappeared, and he suddenly felt like a new life, and cold sweat soaked the clothes under the light armor.
The man didn't dare to despise this person anymore, so he leaned his head forward and asked tentatively: "The third watch, the clouds and the moon, and the fog in the forest. (The villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and dares to ask the master what is going on.) )
"There was a sound in the treetops, and it sounded so tightly at noon that you could hear the whistle through the green helmet. It was dark and he couldn't see the road, and he walked under the black eaves. The woman smiled and whispered in response.
The fluttering words were like a heavy mallet smashed into the man's heart, and the pupils of his eyes instantly shrank to the size of a needle.
(Narru's business is getting bigger and bigger now, and even the Xiling army has people who are counter-current.) I can't tell you the next name.,I can only tell you that I'm from the charm department.。 )
