Chapter 460: Living Up to the Trust
As soon as Long Yi's words fell, the old ghost snorted softly on the side: "Hmph, you people who eat imperial food, you are tied up in everything you do, why do you have to ask for their consent to blow up a few broken houses, anyway, these buildings are all in the desert area that is inaccessible, and there is no one to guard them, we don't know it, and we will blow up all these buildings secretly." ”
Long Yi smiled and said, "Hehe, the old ghost is really good at laughing, it is easy to blow up all these stone buildings secretly, but it is quite difficult to operate. ”
"What's the difficulty?" The old ghost asked rhetorically.
"First of all, these stone buildings are quite strong, and if you want to blow them up completely, you need a lot of explosives, not to mention that this kind of stone buildings is not one or two, but dozens or even hundreds, which requires a lot of explosives, and it is probably impossible to do it without anyone knowing." Speaking of this, Long Yi's words changed sharply: "But don't worry, if these stone buildings are really evil formations built by demons, even if they are World Heritage Sites, we will have to pull them out!" If it's a big deal, cut it first and then report it to the higher authorities when these buildings are blown up. ”
As we chatted, we heard the roar of propellers in the distance, and the roar was getting closer and closer, and after a while, a military helicopter appeared in our field of vision.
It turned out that the helicopter was called by Long Yi to pick us up, and the group immediately got on the helicopter, left Death Valley, and went straight to the base.
Because he has been imprisoned by demons for nearly a thousand years, and has not asked about the world for so many years, contemporary society is simply a completely strange world for Xu Yu, sitting in a helicopter, Xu Yu is curious about everything, especially for some high-tech electronic products, he always asks with great interest, and I have to take the trouble to explain to him. It's just that this generation gap is too big, I explained for a long time, he is still unclear, it seems that it is not easy to let him fully integrate into contemporary society.
After the group arrived at the base, Ryuichi arranged for us to stay at the base.
I originally wanted to go and see how Professor Dong was doing, but because he contracted a strange epidemic when he was in the dungeon of the Heavenly Wolf Castle, although I used the Divine Pill to temporarily renew his life, he is not completely out of danger now, he is still very emaciated, and the key is that I don't know if the epidemic he was infected with is contagious, so he was isolated and treated, and I didn't see him.
Dong Xiaodan, who has been waiting for news in the base, was arranged to meet with him by making an exception, she was ecstatic when she first learned that Professor Dong was still alive, but after seeing Professor Dong, she was heartbroken, because Professor Dong's current condition is similar to a dying patient, and anyone who sees it will probably have heartache, let alone Dong Xiaodan. Of course, it is a miracle that he was able to survive, and I finally lived up to Dong Xiaodan's trust.
The next day, Long Yi got a topographical map of the stone buildings in the Lop Nur area, and he told us that this map was actually drawn only a few days ago, and the whole map covered an area of nearly 1,000 square kilometers, and a total of more than 100 stone buildings were found. And this seems to confirm the old ghost's suspicion that the reason why these stone buildings were built on high ground was to absorb enough daylight.
And when the old ghost looked at the entire map, he became more and more sure of his previous guess, thinking that this must be a great star array, because the distribution of stone buildings on the map almost completely corresponded to the seven houses of the North Palace. And after Xu Yu saw it, he pointed out bluntly that this is a dry water and yin array!
Seeing that the old ghost and Xu Yu were so sure, Long Yi immediately reported to his superiors, and the Dragon Shield Bureau specially convened an emergency meeting for this matter, I, Wen Qingshan, the old ghost and Xu Yu and others were invited to participate in the meeting, in addition to the leaders of the Dragon Shield Bureau, there were also high-level officials of the local military, after some heated discussions, the meeting made a decision, the local military in the name of military exercises, all the stone buildings were blown up, and the Dragon Shield Bureau was responsible for the aftermath.
Since we basically couldn't help with the rest of the things, Wen Qingshan, Old Ghost, Long Jiansheng, Xu Yu and the others said goodbye to Long Yi the next day.
Originally, I planned to stay with Dong Xiaodan, but Professor Dong's serious illness has not recovered and he needs to continue treatment, so Dong Xiaodan naturally has to stay and take care of him. However, because I was worried about the matter of the water dragon qi in my heart, after thinking about it, I decided to rush back as soon as possible, after all, this matter cannot be delayed, at least let Xu Yu determine whether the pearl of the Sui Hou in Wen Qingshan's hand is the companion spirit bead of the White Water Dragon Venerable, if not, it is better to plan early. As for the old ghost and Long Jiansheng, they are used to being free, how can they want to stay in such a secret base like a prison.
However, Long Yi didn't seem to want us to leave so soon, and tried his best to stay, but we insisted on leaving, and he couldn't help it, so he had to transfer a military plane and send a few of us to Urumqi.
After arriving in Urumqi, the old ghost and Long Jiansheng said hello to us and left by themselves, I don't know where they went, but before leaving, the old ghost left me a message, saying that in a few days, he would visit Uncle Zhai.
Wen Qingshan and Xu Yu stayed in Urumqi for one night, and we planned to book a ticket back to Xiangsha the next day, but when we booked the ticket, we ran into trouble, because Xu Yu also followed us to Xiangsha, and there was a problem that he didn't have an ID card, so he couldn't take public transportation such as planes and trains at all, so I had to call Long Yi and ask him for help.
My original intention was to ask him to help Xu Yu get an ID-free ticket, which in my opinion should be a pediatric matter for them, but what I didn't expect was that the next day he sent someone to deliver an ID card and three tickets from Urumqi to Xiangsha that afternoon.
And the person on the ID photo is actually Xu Xuan, and I don't know when they took it. In this way, such a dragonman who is almost a god has the identity of a mortal.
Due to the delay of the flight, it was supposed to be a noon flight, and it didn't take off until it was almost dark, and when we got home, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening.
The cheap and the fat man were waiting at home, and they were both a little surprised to see that Wen Qingshan and I had actually brought back an old Taoist priest who was almost old.
The cheap stared at Xu Yu for a long time, and asked curiously, "Brother, Boss Wen, who is this?" ”
Wen Qingshan smiled and said, "This is a senior who will live in our house temporarily." ”
When he heard this, he was even more surprised: "What!? He's going to live with us!? That's not quite right, is it? ”
I glared at him: "What's inappropriate, as long as Boss Wen thinks it's okay!" ”
"However, shouldn't cultivators go to the deep mountains to practice, what kind of business is it to live with us! We're not a Taoist temple here. ”
This guy has always been open-mouthed, I was worried that his words would anger Xu Yan, in case Xu Yan was "angry", it would be a big trouble, so I hurriedly said: "You speak carefully, Xu Yan's predecessor is a god." ”
"God-man? What kind of divine law? It can't be a magic stick, right? I turned my head and glanced at Xu Yu, but fortunately he didn't seem to be disgusted by what the cheap said, and there was no anger on his face, so I felt a little relieved.
But lest this guy talk nonsense, I yelled at him, "You kid keep your mouth clean!" The cultivation of the predecessors of Xu Yu has entered the realm of transformation, and even the predecessors of Wuchenzi have to give him three points, and we were able to retreat this time, and it all depends on the predecessors of Xu Yan. ”
When he heard me say this, he immediately said in surprise: "You mean that the demon Dao is also afraid of him?" That's good, someone can finally suppress that demonic way. ”
Speaking of which, the cheap stepped forward to greet Xu Xuan, and called "Xu Xuan senior" affectionately. This guy was sneering at others just now, and now he changes his face faster than anyone else, I really can't stand him, but fortunately, Xu Yu didn't care, so I didn't say anything more.
It happened that there was an empty room next to my room, and there were some miscellaneous items piled up in it, so Wen Qingshan asked Niu Fatzi to clean up the empty house for Xu Yu to live in.
Now that they live together, I don't think it's a matter of hiding Xu Yan's identity from Wen Qingshan and the others, and after obtaining his consent, that night, I told them about Xu Yan's true identity.
When they learned that Su Yu was actually a divine dragon with supreme mana, everyone was speechless in shock.
And Wen Qingshan immediately understood, why when he was deep underground, Xu Yu turned into a dragon every time, it was because the dragon body was its true body.
I also told Wen Qingshan that the pearl of Sui Hou in his hand was most likely the companion spirit bead of the White Water Dragon Venerable, and it was very likely to contain the dragon qi of water, and the dragon qi of water was actually the key thing to seal the flame demon.
In the storeroom, Wen Qingshan took out a boxy black wooden box from a hidden floor compartment, he held the black wooden box in front of us, and opened it in front of us.
I took a look, and saw a round and white orb in the box being placed in the center, which was the pearl of the Marquis of Sui that I had obtained from King Chuang's treasury before!
