Chapter 245, Transactions

Probably to take care of Liuying, Linglong's transmission especially used the general Central Plains language - among the Miao people, there are not many people who know this language, some of them are people who practice some unique exercises in the Central Plains, and others are those who have enough strength to be allowed to go to the Central Plains by the witch lord.

Therefore, at this time, using the words of the Central Plains, there are not many people in the villages of Miao Jiang who can understand it, but even so, the Wu people who can be seen in the shadows, including Ziyan and Merk, all of them are like worshiping and fearing the gods, bowing down in the direction from which the voice came from, and bowing sincerely...

"Obey the decree of the shrine maiden!"

…

It was not until this moment that Liuying really realized what kind of authority and majesty the witch Linglong had in this isolated Taoyuan Township.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Although he definitely has the authority of the gods in front of the people, in fact, the place where Linglong lives is not as splendid and lofty as he imagined.

At the end of the stretch of houses, there was a taller, brighter, but ultimately nothing more than a hut of straw. Just on the surface, I am afraid that it will not be any different from the surrounding houses, but in short, if it were not for the fact that all the people who originally lived in the surrounding area spontaneously moved out and rebuilt this old house, no one would have believed that the shrine maiden, who was enough to be called the holy daughter of the witch clan, had actually lived here all along.

"You... Go in, Miko-sama wants to see you. ”

Standing outside the humble grass hut, the Flowing Shadow couldn't take the long-awaited pace for a moment—the more ordinary, the more tranquil, the more people couldn't figure out what the otherworldly witch would look like.

Take a deep breath. The vast Yuan Gong walked all over his body, and the shadow hesitated for a while, and then finally adjusted his mentality and gently pushed open the door of the grass hut.

"In the indecent shadows, all the wonderful heavenly people have seen the holy daughter of the witch clan."

If you talk about facing elders like Merck. Liuying still maintained a little bit of self-control, and in front of this legendary and powerful holy witch in the ages, he would definitely not have any thoughts of resisting.

Although there is no clear explanation even in the original book, in the eyes of Liuying, the owner of this back that gradually catches his eye is very likely to be a monk of the same level or even more powerful than Aoba in his heyday...

After all, it is the one in front of him who single-handedly created the immortal and the strongest monster in the world.

Yes...

Think of it. Even if this matter has nothing to do with the urgent matter in front of him, Liuying can't help but sigh softly in the depths of his heart - the puzzle of immortality is really the highest test given by God to mankind, no matter how strong and great human beings are, they will never escape the formula of death, and the more they get, the more they will lament for this doomed sorrow. Even in front of him, this immortal who has lived outside the world for a long time and is not like an ordinary person cannot escape the reincarnation of this curse.

For immortality. She created the future beast god with her own hands, and the funny thing is that it is still herself. For the sake of the people and the world, I sealed this storage with my own hands... even, because of a ridiculous relationship, he took his own life.

"Flowing Shadow... You remind me of the name of an old man. ”

Linglong opened her mouth, just like the previous transmission, the kind of distant and unreal sound. Even if it's so close, it's still inaudible. He had his back to the Shadow, and it didn't seem like he had any intention of turning back.

“…”

Silently, I don't know what happened here, even if I was suddenly said like this, Liuying couldn't deal with it. At such times, the best answer is silence. Liuying is here, but with a reluctant request, if there is a little mistake in the speech, his goal will not be completed.

"Say, the God of the Wonderful Heavens has come all the way to let you come to the southern frontier, it shouldn't be as simple as saying hello to me, right?"

“… Her Highness the Shrine Maiden is wise, and in the following... Here is one thing to ask for. ”

Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, Liuying believed that Linglong must have a pair of eyes that were penetrating the world, otherwise why would a mission that he had never revealed to anyone be seen through so lightly... Ah, so there is no point in going around in circles and things like that, and it's not his style to play this kind of cleverness, since the other party wants to go straight, then do what he wants.

Reaching into his arms, the small but revealing desolate blood tripod appeared in Liuying's hand.

"It's not a secret, I came to the Precious Land this time to exchange something with the Holy Witch with this 'Fulong Ding'."

"Go on."

“… I want to exchange this object for the treasure of the Southern Xinjiang Wu Clan', 'Xuanhuo Jian'! ”

With this in his mouth, Liuying was actually ready to be directly rejected by the other party, but fortunately, as long as he had not yet reached the point of "deportation", he was confident that he would complete the deal step by step.

"I suppose that even if I don't say it, you know I'm going to reject this deal, right?"

“…”

Liuying was silent, and Linglong, who was facing away from him, raised the teacup in his hand and took a sip, and was also silent for a long time.

"Huh... If he had sent someone else, I would have swept him out by now, the old fox... It's exactly the same as it was 100 years ago. ”

Linglong shook her head, but as if she was recalling something, and the emotional tone surprised Liuying a lot...

A hundred years ago!? Didn't that happen before I was born? Could it be that the old fox and Linglong knew each other earlier!?

A series of questions were unanswered, but Liuying heard some kind of turn in the other party's tone...

"Anyway, I can't hand over the Xuanhuo Jian to you, even if it is exchanged for Fulongding, ask more, why did he want to ask me why I borrowed the Xuanhuo Jian?"

After that, Linglong actually took out a small jade ring from the wooden box in front of her, and then put it aside regardless of it...

Xuanhuojian!

Ryukei recognized the origin of the thing almost at a glance, but said nothing more... In front of a top master like Linglong, could it be that he still had the guts to steal the Xuanhuo Jian directly?

Within one acre and three points of land in southern Xinjiang, without Linglong's approval, who would dare to act recklessly.

"Borrowing from each other... It's really because a big event happened in the wonderful heavens, please forgive Liuying for not being able to say it clearly... Holy Maiden, as long as you can agree to lend the Xuanhuo Jian, Flowing Shadow is willing to give it in exchange for any price. ”

"Don't waste your tongue anymore, I will never borrow Xuanhuojian..."

"Holy Maiden."

"But... I'm going to accompany you on a trip to the wonders. (To be continued......)
