Chapter 6: The Story of the Great Wizard (1)
Xu Chen couldn't help but be a little shocked when he saw Wang Shen becoming more and more sad, he hurriedly asked: "Uncle Wang, how can you know Zhang Youde so well, are you also the predecessor of Chongwu Divine Mountain?"
"Do you look like me?" Wang Shen put away his distracted expression and said lightly: "Zhang Youde became famous after coming down the mountain, how can the little old man go south and north, and listen to his fellow people talk about his past in his spare time, he naturally knows the past of this hypocrite." ”
Xu Chen thought to himself, all the chivalrous things Zhang Youde did were to put gold on his face and make enough capital to return to Shenshan, how could he not hype it up, he wished that everyone in the world would know, but he thought too much, so he looked outside the prison and found that there didn't seem to be a few more guards in this prison, and he didn't see anyone patrolling for a long time, and he couldn't help but be a little happy.
When he turned around and saw Wang Shen drinking again, he hurriedly grabbed the gourd and said, "This cell is not strictly guarded, let's quickly find a chance to escape." ”
Wang Shen said indifferently: "How to escape?"
"It's daytime, so of course you can't act rashly. Xu Chen lowered his voice and said: "Wait until the early hours of the morning, I will blast open the prison door with my true qi, and ensure that I can kill this gang of thieves by surprise, and then we can take advantage of the chaos to escape." ”
Wang Shen sneered a few times and said, "It's easy to say, can you run true qi in your body now?"
"Why can't you ......" Before he finished speaking, Xu Chen's expression changed greatly, and he suddenly found that Wang Shen was not wrong at all, and there was not a trace of true qi running in his body. It was as if they were all sleeping in the dantian, and would never listen to their own thoughts again.
"How can this be?" Xu Chen asked in surprise, not to mention how frustrated he was.
Wang Shen just pointed to the ground and continued to drink.
Xu Chen trembled with his hands and picked up the layer of dry grass that was spread on the ground as a bed, and suddenly saw a pattern similar to runes on the ground, and then brushed away the dead grass and dust, and a complete magic circle appeared in front of him, which was almost all over the entire ground of the cell.
"Isn't it familiar, this breaking formation is not as good as the one in Ao An Mountain, it has a permanent effect. Wang Shen's cold words came from behind him, and Xu Chen's heart also fell to the bottom at this moment.
It was really shocking that the Nine Nightmare Demon Array, which had made everyone suffer, actually appear in the prison cell.
It must be known that the Nine Nightmare Demon Array is not a magic circle that ordinary people can study, Lin Yue'er is a spider demon who has lived for more than a thousand years, it is natural that she will use this magic circle, but the people here in Zhushan are just a gang of bandits and robbers, how can they also set up such an exquisite formation?
After thinking about it again, Xu Chen couldn't help but say in a lost mouth: "Is this set up by Hu Yukun?"
Wang Shen replied coldly: "You seem to have forgotten someone, he is the master surnamed Hu, the great wizard that the bandit said in his mouth." ”
Yes, how did I forget this guy! Xu Chen suddenly realized, and at the same time felt frightened, one Hu Yukun is very difficult to deal with, and now there is another great wizard, is he even more powerful than the God King?
Just when Xu Chen was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a messy footsteps outside, and the two turned their eyes to see Hu Yukun leading several thieves to the prison door, looking at them with a sneer.
I only heard him smile and say, "Xu Shaoxia, are you used to living here?"
Hearing him call out his name directly, Xu Chen was shocked and covered up and said, "You recognize the wrong person, right?"
"Xu Shaoxia is a celebrity in Shangzhou, my brother is very admired, I still have a few portraits of you there, I often look at them if I have nothing to do, how can I recognize the wrong person." ”
Seeing that he had revealed his identity, Xu Chen didn't deny it, so he said coldly: "Since you already know who I am, are you planning to hand me over to the Protoss or the Demons?"
"Shaoxia's words are serious, although the king wants to hand you over, but I am not interested in those rewards. Hu Yukun continued: "My brother came here on the orders of the master to invite Shaoxia to his old man's house for a cup of tea. ”
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in chatting with the elderly. Xu Chen refused, at this moment the fool knew that the great wizard asked him to drink tea, and he had no good intentions.
"It's up to you. Hu Yukun laughed, then ordered the guards to open the cell door, and several tall minions walked in, picked up Xu Chen and walked out.
Wang Shen hurriedly stood up, smirked at Hu Yukun and said, "Drink tea, take the little old man to play." ”
Hu Yukun said coldly: "I'm sorry, Master only invited Xu Shaoxia, you just stay honest, and break your dog's leg if you want to escape." ”
Hearing Wang Shen say this, Xu Chen hurriedly turned around and said, "Take him with you, otherwise I won't go either!" After speaking, he grabbed the wooden bar on the cell door with both hands, and the big men couldn't pull him.
Hu Yukun was stunned, he wanted to be rude but he was afraid that the master would blame, after all, the great wizard specially explained that he wanted to invite Xu Chen over, and after hesitating for a while, Hu Yukun saw Xu Chen's resolute attitude, so he relieved himself and said: "Okay, bring this old thing with you, but I want to warn you, if you dare to play any tricks, don't blame me for being rude." ”
"No, no. Wang Shen nodded hurriedly in response, and followed them to meet the Great Wizard with a grin.
Everyone walked straight to the top of the mountain, and after passing through the Lutheran Hall, their eyes suddenly opened up, and Xu Chen was surprised to find that there was a dilapidated tower behind the Lutheran Hall, which stood alone on the top of the mountain, with a strong high wall in front of it, and two closed iron doors on the front of the wall.
Walking to the front, Xu Chen raised his eyes and saw that the eaves were full of weeds, the surrounding walls were also covered with dust, the two iron doors seemed to have not been opened for a long time, the railings were full of rust, and the entire ancient tower looked very eerie and terrifying against the background of the tall trees around it, like a ghost building.
Xu Chen couldn't help but think to himself: "Listening to Hu Yukun's tone, the great wizard should have a high status in the village, how can he live in such a shabby place, can he be placed under house arrest?"
When a person dressed as a Taoist priest came out to welcome them in, Xu Chen was taken aback again, and he found that there were completely two worlds outside the tower.
He was now at the lowest level of the ancient tower, and it looked like a living room where a great wizard entertained guests. Compared with the dilapidated outside, it is spotless, the wood used to make tables, chairs and benches is made of precious oolong wood, and the carpet spread on the ground is also a rare Pixiu skin in the world, and the ancient paintings hanging on the wall, although Xu Chen does not know the origin, but he also guesses that it is worth a lot, I am afraid it is still some treasures.
Just when Xu Chen was puzzled, he saw two young and strong Taoist priests helping an old Taoist in yellow clothes with crane hair and a childish face walking downstairs, and he couldn't help but secretly say again: "This is obviously a Taoist priest, why do the thieves call him a great wizard?"
This old Taoist sat on the chair in the middle, and Hu Yukun hurriedly ordered his subordinates to escort Wang Shen and Xu Chen up to bow down to his master.
The great wizard smiled and said, "Kun'er, didn't I tell you, be polite to the guests, how can you be so rude!"
Xu Chen was about to have a seizure, but when he heard the great wizard say this, he didn't care anymore, but just stared at the old man coldly.
Feeling Xu Chen's sharp gaze, the Great Wizard didn't mind, but waved his hand to signal the two of them to sit down and talk.
Hu Yukun was very nervous, and when he saw Xu Chen and Wang Shen swaggering to sit in the seats of the guests, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to guard behind them, for fear that the two would take the opportunity to make trouble.
The great wizard didn't say anything polite, and asked Xu Chen straight to the point: "Xu Shaoxia, do you know the whereabouts of the Xuanwu Shield?"
When Xu Chen heard him ask like this, it was like falling into the clouds, but Wang Shen said with a big grin beside him: "The Great Wizard is serious, where do we know the news of the Xuanwu Shield, if you have clues in your hand, you might as well share them with us." ”
"Oh, who are you?" the Great Wizard's face sank, and he didn't invite Wang Shen to the Ancient Tower at first.
Hu Yukun stepped forward at this time and muttered a few words in the master's ear, and the great wizard's face was suddenly a little moved after hearing this, and he said: "It turns out that the virtuous brother is the famous golden swallow, and the foolish brother has admired him for a long time, and he never thought that he would see his true face today. ”
"I didn't expect me to be so famous, you want to treat me to a few drinks tonight to celebrate. ”
"Old thing, be honest with me, or I'll break your legs!" Hu Yukun saw that Wang Shen's attitude towards the master was not respectful at all, and immediately reprimanded.
The Great Wizard frowned his long snow eyebrows, waved his hand again to signal his apprentice not to say more, and said with a slight sneer: "As long as the two of you tell the whereabouts of the Xuanwu Shield, let alone drinking, there will be a big thing in the future, and Su is willing to bear it." ”
It turned out that the great wizard's surname was Su, so Xu Chen opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know the old man's surname?"
"The old man's surname is Su, and his single name is a Hongzi. ”
Xu Chen wanted to speak again, but Wang Shen had already rushed in front of him and said, "Brother Su, what you just said can be counted, if the junior brother has any trouble in the future, he can come to you?"
"Su Mou's words are nine peaks, and he will never lie in his life. ”
"Okay, then I won't hide it!" Wang Shen pointed at Xu Chen and said, "This little brother was just pulled in by me halfway, and he doesn't know about Xuanwu Dun at all." In the world, I am the only one who can know the whereabouts of the Xuanwu Shield now. ”
Xu Chen couldn't help but feel numb when he heard him brag like this, and said secretly in his heart: "Alas, uncle, you have to know the whereabouts of the Xuanwu Shield, you wouldn't have dragged me to look for it together, and now you can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it for a lifetime, and when it's exposed, I'll see how you end up!"
Don't say that Xu Chen didn't believe it, even the great wizard didn't believe his nonsense, so he sneered and said, "We are not too young, and you are not afraid of being cut out if you lie too much." ”
Wang Shen said with an unchanged expression: "I treat you with sincerity, how can you be suspicious." ”
"That's what I know you're lying. The archwizard coughed, and with a trembling right hand, he pulled something out of his bosom.
Xu Chen's expression suddenly changed greatly, because what the Great Wizard took out was the fragment of the Xuanwu Shield that he had been hiding in his arms, and he said in a lost voice: "This is my thing, how did it get to you?"
As soon as the words came out, Xu Chen understood that he must have been knocked unconscious by Hu Yukun, this guy searched his whole body, and the fragments of the Xuanwu shield naturally fell into the hands of the great wizard.
