Chapter 166: The Remnant (7)
"So, that Dragon Monarch didn't make a move in the end?"
In a dimly lit room on South Street in Ningyuan Town, Chu Xuan sat there, looked at the man in front of him and asked with a slight smile. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"My lord, this is the news that we passed on from the meticulous work mixed in the Void Sea Department, and the subordinates originally wanted to report it to Lord Jiang after knowing it, but it happened that you came to Ningyuan Town, and the subordinates thought that it would be the same to tell you about the matter, so they took the liberty of coming to the door. The man bowed slightly and replied with a respectful expression.
Chu Xuan looked at him seriously for a while, and then asked slowly, "How do you know that I live in this place?"
"My lord......" The man raised his head cautiously, glanced at Chu Xuan slightly before continuing.."Santang has a stronghold in Ningyuan Town, and besides, this town is so big, it is still a bit eye-catching for one or two strangers to appear, and in the past few days, Lord Jiang has sent a letter, ordering all strongholds in Daluo Prefecture to pay close attention to the traces of those traitors, and report it immediately as soon as there is news. But recently, somehow, we seem to have cut off contact with Master Jiang, and many of the news reported by the hall and the stronghold cannot be truthfully passed on, if it weren't for you, my subordinates really don't know what to do. β
"Do you know me?" Chu Xuan asked with a smile, raising his eyebrows slightly.
The man seemed a little surprised when he heard this, raised his head slightly and said, "My lord, my subordinates have seen you in Baiyun City, and Lord Jiang was also there at that time, and it was the time when he was outside the city......"
"That's it......" Chu Xuan stood up, slowly walked around the desk, and walked to the man's side.."However, you seem to have mistaken your loyalty, and I am not from your Huangquan Dao, do you tell me these things, don't you feel that it is a bit overstepping?" smiled and patted the other party's shoulder, Chu Xuan spared beside him for a while. The entanglement between me and Huangquan Dao is probably not known to a few people, whether it is Su Yu, Jiang Shu, or anyone else, no one knows too much, so even if Jiang Shu is in front of me, it is only because he is afraid of me like a tiger, and because Su Yu speaks, he will take some of the words I said as an order. As for some other people, they may not care who I am or what it has to do with Huangquan Dao, let alone take the initiative to run over like you to become inflammatory. β
"My ......, my lord"
Chu Xuan waved his hand and interrupted the man's words: "Of course, if you come to me, you are definitely not here to tend to the flames, I don't have anything to cling to, especially compared to some people, it is even more insignificant, even if you really want to have a better future, it shouldn't be me who chooses......"
The corners of his mouth tried to pull out a smile, and the man opened his mouth to defend: "My lord, I, I don't have ......"
"Listen to me finish speaking......" Grabbing the back of the man's neck with one hand, Chu Xuan lifted the man forward.."Listen to me finish speaking, okay?" smiled and leaned his face over, and the tips of their noses almost touched each other.
For a while, the atmosphere froze, and somehow, looking at the face that was close at hand, the man was suddenly a little scared.
"Before I came out this time, I told Jiang Shu that he had cut off contact with everyone in Huangquan Dao, do you know why?" Reaching out and dusting the dust off the man's shoulder, Chu Xuan pressed the man's body down and motioned for the other party to sit on the chair.."For so many years, the people of Huangquan Dao have walked and scattered, except for those who have died, the rest of the people are living day by day with a chaotic attitude, like Jiuru's willingness to support the Taoist Sect, probably few people will pay attention. β
"Oh, that's right!" Chu Xuan waved his forehead and looked at him with a wink.."Who Jiuru is, you should know it, right?"
"Know, knowβit's Miss!" the man smiled dryly, but his back was already soaked with sweat.
"Well, you know it. Chu Xuan nodded appreciatively, then patted him on the shoulder and continued, "You see, your eldest lady wants to revive the Dao Sect, this is originally an understandable thing, but ...... She didn't take into account the feelings of the people of you, many of you have already started a family and given birth to children, and most of the thoughts are ordinary days, and the life of fighting and killing is too far away from you, including those in various strongholds, it seems that few people are willing to go through that kind of wandering and bloody years. β
"Since the decline of the Taoist master, their lineage has always been green and yellow, the death of the master, there is no gain, the rest are two or three kittens, including Taihe Palace, those people probably don't have much interest in you, your existence is not even as good as the likes of thieves and thieves, and the impact on the whole world is minimal, as long as you hide honestly in the market, such a catastrophe of nesting may not fall on your head, even if there is really any enemy who is indomitable, they will only attack Jiuru and Suyu, like you little shrimp, they probably won't pay too much attentionγ Chu Xuan looked at him seriously, smiling hee-hee, "Do you think, am I right?"
"Uh...... Yes, yes!" the man nodded, his eyes wide.
"Look, you agree with it very much...... Chu Xuan blinked his eyes and smiled slightly, the man also looked at him and laughed the same......, but it didn't take long for Chu Xuan's smile to suddenly converge... Eat inside and out!"
"Puff ββ"
The man shuddered, and suddenly fell out of his chair...... Absolutely no eating inside and out, no doing something sorry...... Daoist matter!" He knelt on the ground and gasped for breath, and cold sweat kept coming out of his body.
"In fact, the current situation of the Dao Sect, in addition to some of their own reasons, those who betrayed the Dao Sect also have a lot of responsibility......" Chu Xuan put his hands behind his back and stared at the air.."They broke away from the Huangquan Dao, wandering outside but they were not satisfied, and even in order to get rid of the label of the Huangquan Dao, they worked hard to find something to do for the lineage, so that it would be exposed to the eyes of others from time to time, so that they could attract the attention of others, maybe their situation would be much better. β
"Of course, for a period of time, their situation has indeed improved somewhat, but the Taoist Sect is not as good as day by day, like an iceberg, it will always gradually shrink under the scorching sun, and in the end, it is only a small piece of the core, about the size of a palm, fragile, just a slight fall, it will become dilapidated with a "bang" sound...... At this time, the Dao Sect no longer existed. Chu Xuan squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at the man on the ground like this.."Dao Sect is gone, do you think...... What will become of you outlying children? You will suck its blood, eat away at its flesh, and if one day it disappears, what will you do? Will you change its owner? Or will you wait for another parasite to take you to the bones and flesh...... Swallow it all up?"
The atmosphere became silent for a while, the man knelt there sweating like rain, his expression changed, and it took a long time to grit his teeth and raise his head slightly...... The subordinates really don't have ...... I'm sorry Dao Sect!"
"In that case......" Chu Xuan waved, "You go down." β
"Uh......" The man blinked, seemingly incredulous.."The Lord doesn't kill his subordinates?"
"Why should I kill you?" Chu Xuan shook his head with a smile and said something inexplicable.."You're still too "thin"......"
"Too thin?" The man quickly stood up and arched his hand with relief.."My lord, the ...... The subordinates still have something to do, so let's go down first!"
He raised his eyes to look at Chu Xuan, but Chu Xuan waved his hand, just like that, watching him turn around and leave.."After all...... Still found out......" Sighing slightly, he turned his head and looked at a certain place in the room.."I've been here for so long, why don't you show up and see it, do you think that I, the master, can't even afford you to drink a bowl of tea?"
"Kill Shengren!" a figure appeared from inside the house, "I didn't show up here to ask you for tea!"
......
......
"Whew......"
After leaving the room, the man breathed a sigh of relief, he looked left and right vigilantly for a while, saw that there were no suspicious figures, and then flicked his sleeves and walked all the way to the east, weaving through the streets and alleys of the town for a while, entering two secret passages, and finally appearing in the backyard of an inn.
Sneakily came to a room, he skimmed around, and then stretched out his hand to knock on the door, but the door suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance stretched out his hand and dragged him in, and then quickly closed the door, and then leaned behind the door and listened quietly for a while. This man looked ordinary and ordinary, he looked at it, and asked meaningfully: "See that person?"
"Uh...... Look, see. β
"Are you sure it's the same person?"
"Of course. β
"That's good!"
The middle-aged man smiled, walked to the tea table and laid out the rice paper, and took out the pen and ink. β
"I ...... What about my family?"
"Once you've drawn it, you'll be able to see your family. β
"How do I know if you'll cross the river and tear down the bridge after I've drawn it?"
"Do you still have the right to choose?" narrowing his eyes slightly, the middle-aged man said with a cold gaze.."If you don't paint, your parents, wife and children ...... No one has a chance to live!"
"You ......" The green tendons on his forehead trembled slightly, and the man stared at the middle-aged man for a long time before taking a deep breath.
Walking to the tea table, the man lifted the pen, thinking about Chu Xuan's appearance in his mind, and then ...... Uh, and then he stood there dumbfounded, as if he had discovered something horrible.
"Don't think about playing any tricks!" the middle-aged man smiled coldly, "If I find out that you have scribbled, your family will be dead...... It's a hundred times more tragic!"
"How can this be...... the man's face turned pale, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
The middle-aged man went up and pinched his neck, staring at him indifferently.."What the hell is going on?"
"I ......" the man licked his chapped lips.."I forgot...... His...... It's like that!"
"Forgot?" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something.."Water Mirror Technique?" He glanced at the man with a strange expression, and asked in a gloomy manner.."Did you show your tail?"
"No, no, absolutely not. The man shook his head.
"No?" the middle-aged man stared at him and thought for a long time..."In that case...... his eyes were cold, his palms suddenly exerted force, and the sound of broken bones came out, the man's eyes widened, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was red, and he struggled slightly for a moment and was no longer alive. The middle-aged man licked his lips, left the body still on the ground, then opened the door a gap, looked outside for a while, and saw that there was nothing unusual before closing the door again.
He took out a piece of jade butterfly from his arms, fiddled with it slightly, looked out the window after a moment, and then bent down and began to deal with the corpse on the ground.
At the same time, in the woods thirty miles to the southeast, the deputy commander of the Tianji Battalion squatted on the ground, grinning slightly, his eyes looked indifferently into the distance, and a slightly strange syllable came out of his mouth......
......
......
"Who are you?"
"You call me - Fu Fu!"
"Hufu?" In the dim room, Chu Xuan's voice sounded slightly, and a woman stood not far away, with a luxurious temperament, as dignified and holy as a god.."The surname is ......" frowned slightly.."You are the Dragon Mother-Hufu?"
"Yes, I'm the Dragon Clan's Fuxing!" said the Dragon Mother with a kind expression and a slight smile.
"Dragon Clan?" After thinking seriously for a while, Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Except for when I was in the Sumeru Sea, I killed a dragon, and the rest of the time...... Well, I guess I don't have any impressions. β
"Your Excellency, don't worry, I'm not here to find trouble. The Mother of Dragons shook her head, not as if she were faking.
Of course, for a character like her, the convincing power of words is naturally stronger than that of ordinary people.
"Then the Mother of Dragons won't come to me for tea, right?"
The Mother of Dragons shook her head and sighed slightly, "I want to ask you for something. β
Chu Xuan laughed.."You said you didn't come to find trouble?"
To make a sentient being able to use the word "seeking" is already a big trouble.
"I know this matter is difficult for some strong people, but except for you to help Xi'er, everyone else ......"
"Wait!" Chu Xuan waved his hand..."Who is Xi'er?"
"He used to live incognito, living in Huangquan Road, and his name was Zuo Xiyi. The Mother of Dragons looked at him as she spoke.
"Zuo Xiyi?" blinked slightly, Chu Xuan looked strange...
"Well, it's Jairus. β
Nodding slightly, Chu Xuan understood that this dragon mother came to him: "His spirit is not destroyed?"
"If the gods have been destroyed...... the dragon mother gritted her silver teeth, her eyes were cold.."Even if Gou Chen comes to ask for the crime in person, I will not let go of the void law!"
"However, that's just a legend......" Chu Xuan sighed..."Moreover, how do you think that I will definitely enter the Nine Shadows Yellow Spring?"
"That's not a legend. The Dragon Mother's words were categorical: "As for why I knew that you would enter the Nine Shadows Yellow Spring...... she glanced at Chu Xuan meaningfully, "It's not what I said, and besides, I don't have the ability to know this." β
"Oh?" Chu Xuan frowned, "Then who said this?"
The Mother of Dragons looked at him and slowly spit out a name...
His pupils shrank slightly, and Chu Xuan gasped..."Taiyin Youying is still alive?"
"Of course......" The Dragon Mother nodded as a matter of course, "The lifespan of the Innate Divine Beast is already longer than that of humans, not to mention that one, who has already stood at the peak of the universe. At the beginning, because of Xi'er's matter, I quarreled with Longjun, and then left the dragon clan, and waited for three thousand years in Yin Void, during this period Taiyin Youying has been asleep, until a year ago, she woke up slightly, because my mother has an old relationship with her, according to the seniority, she should not ignore me, and in addition to my bitter begging, she made an exception to help me deduce the heavenly opportunity, saying that Xi'er's fate should be on you. β
"Taiyin Youying......" Chu Xuan thought for a while, and glanced at the Dragon Mother slightly.."There will never be only one way for anything, but why did you come to find me?"
"Kill the benevolent!" "Mother of Dragons stroked her hair and smiled slightly.."A mother owes her child too much, and always wants the best ...... Compensate him ......"
"Compensation...... squinted his eyes slightly, Chu Xuan seemed to think of something, he sighed, was silent for a long time, and then waved his hand slightly and said.."Let me ...... Consider considering ......"
