Chapter 21: The Will of the Aegis

It turned out that Zhao Lei couldn't endure the punishment, and actually confessed the secret thing that he secretly followed Xu Chen and Zhang Youde to Heifeng Mountain to save Huang Xiaoxue.

After Xu Chen heard this, this was something he never knew, and in an instant, the past kept flashing in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

"Senior Brother Lin, is this true?" Xu Chen muttered.

Lin Yu replied facelessly, he lowered his eyes, and a red tide appeared on his pale face.

It was only at this time that Xu Chen completely understood why the two impostors who attacked him even knew such a secret thing as the poison simmering on Zhang Youde's sword, it turned out that at that time, Lin Yu and Zhao Lei were hiding nearby and spying on their every move.

He was suddenly a little disappointed, he was sincere to Lin Yu, but the other party wanted to frame him all the time, this was really a sad thing! But to hate Lin Yu because of this, Xu Chen felt that he couldn't do it.

After all, the brothers of the Shenshan Division all thought that they were the murderers of the God King, and Lin Yu was driven down the mountain by Kong Biao at the beginning, and he also had a lot to do with him, and from the perspective of others, there seemed to be nothing wrong with what he did.

Although this thought made Xu Chen's heart feel a little better, he always felt that something was blocked in his chest and it was difficult to let go.

Just when he was entangled in his heart, he heard Su Jingzhi say to him: "Are two pieces of garbage like this still worth your saving?"

"Let them go, my feud with you should not involve anyone else. Although he felt sad, Xu Chen was unmoved.

"It's stupid for you to have such childish ideas at this time, but I like to deal with people like you. Su Jingzhi said: "If you can agree to my conditions, the old man can consider letting them live." ”

Xu Chen said angrily: "You know that I don't have the clues of the Xuanwu Shield on hand and can't agree to your conditions, so you deliberately came to make things difficult for me?"

"Haha, I haven't been able to understand the old man's meaning, no wonder Zhang Youde chose you to be the substitute ghost. Su Jingzhi smiled and said, "In order to show the sincerity of the old man, I might as well provide you with a clue about the Xuanwu shield that I know." ”

"What clues?"

"It is possible that the real Xuanwu Shield is in the hands of the God King Feng Chihiro, and not still hidden in the Chonggo Mountain, as some people think. ”

"Hehe, this is surprising news, how did you know that?" Xu Chen was surprised.

At the critical moment, Su Jingzhi kept his mouth shut, after all, Xu Chen has not made his position clear yet, and he will not be stupid enough to tell everything about it.

I only heard him cough dryly, and suddenly asked Xu Chen: "Pretending to be two dogs under Lin Yunsheng to come to my Zhushan to lure me down, this idea was thought up by that golden swallow, right?"

"Indeed, with my intelligence, how could I have come up with such a brilliant plan. ”

"People's hearts are sinister, Jin Yanzi and Zhang Youde are both using you to get the Xuanwu Shield, you might as well mix with the old man. ”

Xu Chen said coldly: "I'm not interested in being your subordinate. ”

"You're wrong, the old man wants to take you as an apprentice. ”

"What are you kidding! I was disgusted that I wasn't smart enough just now, and now I want to be my master, do you have such a trick on people?"

Xu Chen was greatly surprised, but when he saw Su Jingzhi nodding affirmatively, he couldn't help but ask again: "I killed your two subordinates, aren't you ready to take revenge?"

Su Jingzhi said coldly: "It's superfluous to live useless waste, it's better to die." As long as you are willing to worship under my door, the old man will immediately let the two of them go. ”

"My heart is so cold, how dare I worship you as a teacher, lest I be disposed of as waste by you when I get it!" Xu Chen said loudly: "Die of this heart, I will never let you be so cold-blooded and ruthless as my master." ”

Hearing that he categorically rejected Su Jingzhi, Lin Yu and Zhao Lei looked at each other, and their faces changed drastically, for fear that this old guy would vent his anger on himself when he was angry.

Lin Yu was frightened and hesitated, Zhao Lei was already scared, and suddenly said loudly: "Senior Su, don't be angry, Brother Xu has a straightforward personality, wait for me to persuade him first......"

Before he finished speaking, an attendant kicked him from behind and said sharply: "Be honest, how can you speak here!"

Zhao Lei suddenly lost his footing, fell to the ground on his back, although he was angry in his heart, but because of Su Jingzhi's obscenity, he had to swallow his anger and bow his head silently.

Xu Chen's heart was cold, and he had no good impression of Su Jingzhi, he couldn't help but be angry, intending to kidnap Su Jingzhi and force him to release Lin Yu and the others, but just made up his mind but heard the other party say: "Xu Shaoxia, don't rush to answer first, you might as well think about it." ”

Xu Chen was about to refuse again, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, and he saw Su Jingzhi take out something from his right sleeve, the fragment of the Xuanwu shield that originally belonged to him.

Even more surprising things happened later, Su Jingzhi actually took out another thing from his left sleeve, this is another fragment, although it is inconsistent with the shape and size of the Xuanwu shield fragment in his right hand, but judging from the material, Xu Chen immediately recognized it as another Xuanwu shield fragment.

This was a strange thing, Xu Chen couldn't help but ask, "Why do you also have a Xuanwu Shield fragment, where did it come from?"

"You don't need to be surprised, they were originally a small part of the Xuanwu Shield. Su Jingzhi smiled like a fox.

"Are you fooling me?" Xu Chen laughed: "Everyone in the world knows that the Xuanwu shield is indestructible, even if my senior uncle and Su Liuyun had a shocking battle back then, it only broke a small piece of it......"

Su Jingzhi interrupted him: "You are very right, the one that peeled off the artifact at that time was the one you got." ”

Xu Chen asked: "What's the matter with the other piece, did you copy it?"

"A fake is a fake, and even if it is fake, it is useless. Seeing that Xu Chen didn't believe it, Su Jingzhi generously handed over the two pieces of fragments in his hand to him.

Xu Chen flipped over and compared the two fragments, and finally had to admit that the other fragment of unknown origin was indeed part of the same Xuanwu Shield.

Suddenly, a bad thought popped into his mind, and he thought to himself: "This old guy is really smart and confused for a while, and now that the fragments are in my hands, why should I give them back to him?

The corners of Xu Chen's mouth, who had made up his mind, unconsciously hooked a faint smile, he quickly put the fragments into his arms, and then looked at Su Jingzhi with a wicked smile, the meaning couldn't be clearer: "Hehe, old guy, if you don't know each other, don't think about getting them back!"

Unexpectedly, Su Jingzhi didn't have a panicked expression at all, he said quietly: "I thought you were an honest person, but I didn't expect that you also had bad intentions." ”

With that, he made a spell with one hand, and recited an ancient incantation in his mouth that no one could understand.

Xu Chen suddenly felt that his arms moved, and the two pieces flew out as if they had wings, and returned to Su Jingzhi's hands.

Xu Chen's face suddenly had a fever, as if he had been scalded by boiling water, and he said curtly, "What kind of spell did you put on the fragment?"

"This is not a charm, but an edict that activates the original spirituality of the artifact. Su Jingzhi said proudly: "Let's go back to the original topic, and when the old man tells the mystery, you should carefully consider whether to worship me as a teacher." ”

"Say it, please. Xu Chen replied noncommittally, but in his heart he was curious why Su Jingzhen also had a fragment of the Xuanwu Shield, could it be that there were more powerful people in this world who caused damage to the Xuanwu Shield?

"The first decisive battle between His Royal Highness and Song Wuji was indeed to shoot down this fragment from the shield on the spot. Su Jingzhi shook the fragment that originally belonged to Xu Chen in front of everyone and continued: "Song Wuji lost the bet and had to hand over the Aegis and leave, but what he didn't expect was that the shocking blow of the Su God King was far more powerful than he imagined. ”

"How powerful can it be? The final winner is not my uncle. Seeing that there was a meaning of praising Su Liuyun in his words, Xu Chen replied angrily.

"Now is not the time to fight with your tongue. Su Jingzhi said calmly: "Song Wuji slapped his ass and left, but there is one thing he doesn't know, that is, His Highness not only shot down a fragment, but also left a few cracks on the Aegis. ”

"You're not going to tell me that the Xuanwu Shield was completely destroyed by Su Liuyun?"

"That's not true, the Xuanwu shield is called one of the two great artifacts of antiquity, and it is not in vain. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"After His Highness brought the Xuanwu Shield back to the Horse Mansion, he found that another fragment had peeled off from the Divine Shield. Su Jingzhi lifted another piece of debris.

"So that's what happened. Xu Chen let out a long breath, completely knowing the origin of the other fragment. Su Jingzhi is Su Liuyun's personal secretary, Su Liunian will naturally hand over this fragment to him for safekeeping, and the decisive battle with Uncle Taishi in the second year ended with Su Liunian's death, so the fragment finally fell into Su Jingyun's hands.

Xu Chen couldn't help but ask, "But what does this have to do with you wanting to take me as an apprentice?"

"Even the fragments have spirituality, and the Aegis naturally has its own will. If it thinks that you are not qualified to be its master, even if you have it, you will not be able to bring out the full divinity of the Aegis, and you will not be able to give it to others. ”

"So, you think that you or Hu Yukun are the masters of the Xuanwu Shield, and no one else is qualified?"

"The old man used to think so, but now that I've changed my mind, maybe another person deserves to have this qualification. ”

"Who is he?"

"Hehe, this person is you. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, even Xu Chen himself didn't believe it, he said hesitantly: "It's really an honor for you to think so highly of me." ”

"It's not that the old man is optimistic about you, but the fragment you brought me revealed to me the will of the Aegis. ”

"Haha!" Xu Chen's tears were about to flow out, he was willing to believe that there would be such a wonderful thing in the world. "No matter how magical the Xuanwu Shield is, it's just a cold weapon, and you actually say that it has its own will like a human!"

"I'm not kidding you. Although this incident sounds a little incredible, what the old man said is by no means a lie. ”

Xu Chen said disapprerovingly: "What do you use to prove that it is not something you fantasized about?"
