Chapter 124: The Story of the Old Man
The weather is clear, the wind is smooth, and it is a good time to enjoy the hunting. However, Jiu and a half obviously did not have the mood to enjoy the hunting and playing, and at this time, there was an endless stream of people coming and going on the streets outside the house, and the place where the people were boiling formed a sharp contrast with the quietness of Shaohong Mansion. Jiu Ban was sitting alone in a quiet and secluded place, the bandages on his body had not yet been untied, and the bandages wrapped around his chest and abdomen made the clothes he was wearing at this time slightly bloated, and they were not very good-looking.
But Jiuhan didn't care if he was good-looking, all he thought about was avenging Bayu first, and then making decisions about everything else after killing Wuwei. But it's hard to save people, and if you really want to kill someone, it's just as convenient as a knife in your hand, but now it's even more difficult to think about it. At this time, it was the second day he woke up, and Shaohong never appeared, but Wu Liangzi was always by his side. At this time, Wu Liangzi was sitting opposite him, at the other end of the table. Although there was no war, and there could be no battle in Shaohong Mansion, Wu Liangzi wore combat clothes every day since returning to Huqin City, and always had a staff in his hand until today.
It seems that he has been thinking about it for a long time, maybe he thinks it is a little rude to let a Gu Nian sit with him without speaking, and he opened his mouth and said, "It's you...... Rescue me from the city of Anxiong?"
"It's me. Wu Liangzi replied.
"Is he dead?" said Nine-Half, his tone a little low. The "he" in his mouth naturally refers to Wu Wei, and he was almost able to kill the other party, making Jiu Ban feel that he is simply a sinner through the ages, after all, the feeling of falling short is like a folk saying called "Basket weaving is all in the mouth", but he couldn't put it away in the end, and this matter made him very uncomfortable in his heart.
There was a teapot and four cups in the center of the table where the two were sitting, Wu Liangzi took out two cups and poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Jiuhan, but he refused. Reluctantly, she put the glass of water in front of Jiuhan, then poured herself a cup of hot water, and drank it slowly, unhurriedly. Nine and a half didn't seem to be in a hurry to hear the answer, anyway, even if Wuwei didn't die, he wouldn't be able to take revenge for a while now.
The bandages that were bound to his body seemed to have been spelled by some kind of spell, and as long as the bandages were still wrapped around his body, he would not be able to get out of this courtyard at all. At first, he thought it was strange, but after thinking about it next, he was relieved. He himself is a powerhouse in the Holy Realm, and the only one who can restrain himself is probably Shaohong. It's been a day and a night since I woke up and I haven't seen Wei Xicheng, I'm afraid that I and Brother Wei have been controlled by Shaohong. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly, sure enough, people had to bow their heads under the eaves.
Wu Liangzi took a sip of water, then put down the quilt unhurriedly, and said, "He's not dead." When I arrived, he was slumped in a corner, blood-red, and you sat a foot away from him, and you were all right. ”
"You didn't think about helping me kill him?!" At this moment, Jiuhan's figure suddenly burst out, and he looked at Wu Liangzi like an angry lion, with a hideous expression. Although he suspected that it was Wuwei's accomplice who stunned him before, he felt strange after Wu Liangzi finished speaking at this time. If it was really Witchtail's accomplices who stunned him, why not kill him and put him not far from Witchtail?
It's just that anger suppresses reason at this time, and naturally overwhelms curiosity. Jiuhan looked at Wu Liangzi with a hideous face, but the other party laughed lightly and said, "I kill him? ”
"Fate? Are you kidding! If you saw him by my side at the time, as you said, then it would only be a matter of an instant for you to kill him, why don't you dare!" he got up and sat down quickly, and said again: "You really made me ......"
"You have nothing to say, speechless, right?" Wu Liangzi said softly, with a trace of loneliness and a little grievance in his words. Her eyes drooped and seemed to be a little unwilling, completely in the mood of a little daughter. "Nine-and-a-half, let me ask you, do you know what kind of place Anxiong City is?"
Wu Liangzi's words came into his ears, and Jiu Ban thought about it for a long time and then said: "Anxiong City, isn't it the small city that Shaohong National Master wanted to give me at the beginning?
"Naturally, the city that my master wants to give you will naturally not be in any danger, but do you know the rules of Anxiong City?" Wu Liangzi sat up straight when he said this, and said to Jiu Ban with a straight look.
"I don't know, is there any secret that can't be done?"
Hearing this, Wu Liangzi pursed his lips disdainfully, "The family and country have no rules, and the reason why Anxiong City is chaotic and can become a self-reserved place for the three sects and nine streams is because of its own fixed and unchanging rules. And this rule was set by my master. ”
"It was set by Master Shaohong?" Wu Liangzi's words came into his ears, and his eyes were full of surprise, "What rules." ”
"Presumably you also saw the huge stone tablet and the staff on the stone tablet before entering the city, right?" Seeing Jiu Ban nodded, Wu Liangzi continued: "The staff and stone tablet are the rules set by my master. Anxiong City accepts people from the three religions and nine streams, and even accepts anyone in the Nine Kingdoms, no matter what mistakes you have made, as long as you enter Anxiong City, you can be exempt from hunting and pursuit. If you don't go out of the city for a day, you won't be wanted for a day. So in fact, in the place where you can't see, behind the mountains and forests around Ahanxiong City, there are spies from the Nine Kingdoms Government everywhere, in order to wait for the opportunity to arrest those criminals who have committed big and important cases and bring them to justice. Of course, this is only the first rule of Anxiong City, and the other rule is that no one can kill in Anxiong City, and the murderer is the person who touches the bottom line of the rules, and my master will personally kill him. ”
Hearing this, Jiu Ban was a little clear, but in an instant, his thoughts were confused again: "In this way, it was Master Shaohong who stunned me? No, Master Shaohong is in Huqin City, how can he be in charge of the affairs of Anxiong City?"
"Are you stupid? Don't you see the huge stele at the gate and the staff in the stele? That is my master's staff. All the people who wanted to kill people in the city over the years were not spared, and all of them were killed by the staff. So I speculate that there may have been a good Samaritan in the city who saved your life and knocked you unconscious when you were about to kill Witchtail, so as not to fall for the other party's tricks. It's just that I don't know who that person is. ”
Sweat slowly flowed down his neck, and his back was soaked with cold sweat at the moment. After listening to Wu Liangzi's analysis, Jiu Ban did not focus on Wu Wei, but cared about Shaohong's staff. It is well known that the combat power of all warlocks holding magic staff will increase geometrically, which can be seen from Wu Liangzi. In Jiuban's memory, Shaohong had never used her staff, and if one day she took out the staff sealed in Anxiong City, what kind of combat power would her reach?
It's scary to think about.
"Nine-and-a-half, nine-and-a-half, what do you want?" waved his hand in front of nine-and-a-half, Wu Liangzi stood up and said to nine-and-a-half. "I see you were stunned just now, what good things do you think?"
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. "Because the things that are being pondered in my mind are a bit complicated and terrifying, the nine and a half at the moment are a little stumbling.
Nine and a half's demeanor and movements all fell into Wu Liangzi's eyes, and her heart was also mixed at the moment. There is no need to say much about what Nine and a Half is to her, but the identity of Shaohong National Teacher is more complicated in her heart. Is it just a teacher? Is it just a national teacher? No. Of course, Wu Liangzi knew the complexity of her identity, but what she didn't know was that Jiuhan's identity was probably not much simpler than her. Looking at Jiu Ban and sighing non-stop, Wu Liangzi still hesitated in his heart after all. After hesitating for a long time, she still spoke: "Nine and a half, I hope you understand, Shizun her heart...... There are still hardships. ”
"Troublesome, I guess it's not that simple. His face was cloudy, but it came down to the uncertainty of his heart. Judging from the information conveyed by Shaohong, I am afraid that this world is really not that simple. His identity is complicated enough, and Shaohong's cultivation technique is terrifying, but he has been a prisoner for so many years. It stands to reason that the so-called "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" Shaohong is not impossible to do, but she has willingly been the gatekeeper for the king of the imprisoned Niu Kingdom for more than ten years, can it be said that the great love of the country is so important in her heart?
The people's hearts are unpredictable, it is difficult to determine, and the voice of Jiu and a half has become a little gloomy. He stood up abruptly and walked towards the gate of the courtyard, saying as he went, "No, I'm going to find Master Shaohong for this matter." Since the doorway was her staff, she must have a way to solve it. It is absolutely impossible for the revenge of the eight feathers not to be avenged, if Wu Wei is cowering in Anxiong City for the rest of his life, do you want me to guard Anxiong City for the rest of his life?"
has come to this point, in fact, Jiuhan's heart is also hesitant and entangled. In fact, he also knew in his heart that for a country, faith and benevolence are the most important, and the location of Anxiong City is the foundation of Shaohong's faith. According to Wu Liangzi, the existence of Anxiong City was created by Shaohong and promised to protect everyone absolutely, and if Shaohong broke this promise with his own hands, it would be a loss of faith. For the country of the imprisoned cow, Shaohong is the same existence as the monarch in these days when the monarch is away. If the rulers and rulers of a country have lost their faith, will not the people of that country be afraid in their hearts?
But despite this, there are some things that still have to be done, and if they are not done, it will be too late. For Jiuhan, it is better to die for something than to regret it for the rest of his life, this is the lesson he ate when he was Lin Ze, and the meaning of the lesson is to make mistakes again.
His steps were in a hurry, but before he could reach the gate of the courtyard, his arm was pulled by a force. turned around, and sure enough, Wu Liangzi was dragging his arm behind him, his expression a little tangled.
"Master Wu Xiaoxian, what do you mean by this?" Turning around completely, Jiu Ban slowly took off Wu Liangzi's arm that was holding his left arm with his right arm, and said, "Are you trying to stop me?"
"I ......"
"Eight feathers are dead!" There was a hidden anger in Jiuhan's voice, this emotion seemed to be a time bomb, and it would definitely follow Wu Liangzi's reaction differently. "That's our mutual friend, we're together, we're partners, right? Are you going to stand by and stop me right now for the sake of defending your master, the national teacher of the country of the Imprisoned Ox, and something about Master Shaohong?"
"Are you really going to do that?"
People's words are like knives, and people's words are terrifying. Wu Liangzi originally had a lot of reasons to defend Shaohong, but at this time, he still sighed softly. She let go of the ten fingers that were clasped in front of her, raised her head to look at Jiuhan's eyes and said to him: "The reason why Shizun set up the rules of Anxiong City is really to make up for his sins, Jiuhan you are still ......."
"I'm still, I still need to understand, right?" At this time, he didn't laugh angrily, as if he had heard some big flower, and said: "She can act so recklessly in order to make up for her sins, so what about me? Wu Liangzi, tell me, are you, me, going to make up for your sins because of this Shaohong's bullshit, and not revenge Bayu?"
"Eight Feathers are dead, I don't blame you, and no one has anything to blame. After all, it was the witch tail who was cheap, and unexpectedly attacked an unarmed girl. But now that it's been a few days, and it's the second day since I woke up, can you tell me where Hachiyu's body is, do you want her to be in the wilderness, or is it the practice of the people of the country of the Cow Prisoner is 'Nothing to do in the summer and welcome the spring'?"
"Summer ...... Who is Xia Yingchun?" Wu Liangzi didn't dare to raise his eyes, and asked in a soft voice.
When she asked, she stopped nine and a half. "There is nothing to do, nothing to do in summer and spring. This sentence was originally a thing of Lin Ze's era, and at this time, the anger of the nine and a half covered everything, and he said this sentence a little unconsciously, and suddenly felt that it was inappropriate when he recalled it. So, he withdrew his hands from Wu Liangzi's shoulders and then turned around, pretending to be calm and said, "It's not important, the important thing is that only the matter of her Shaohong National Master is a thing, isn't ours?"
"People are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, isn't everything in this world always like this?" Wu Liangzi's faint voice came from behind Jiu Ban, accompanied by a soft sigh: "Jiu Ban, let me tell you about the lecturer." ”
Tan Yiju has been walking through the mountains and forests for more than three days, in order to save time, although he is in a hurry, he gave up all possible ways to go around, all the way God blocked and killed God and Buddha to block and kill Buddha, I don't know how many beasts I killed.
And all of this stems from the meeting between Twilight and him three days ago.
In fact, Tan Yiju doesn't know Xiaodui's true identity, but this child is like a prophet who seems to be able to perceive everything, and the world is perceived in his mind. Everyone's history can be told in great detail, and even every time Tan Yiju stands in front of him, he feels as if he is naked, which is slightly terrifying.
When Twilight found Tan Yiju and told him about the so-called "gods" in the sky, Tan Yiju didn't believe it at first. But as time passed, he found that Xiao Dui's existence was like a prophet, able to grasp almost all the nodes of events, which made Tan Yiju have to be afraid.
Of course, in the end, he chose to believe.
Therefore, when Twilight found Tan Yiju three days ago, and when he said that sentence to Tan Yiju, the huge amount of information almost drowned the old madman, but it really scared him.
"Something is coming, just a few months. I've been trying my best to be ashamed of the delay, but if I don't complete the method of borrowing heaven in two months, I'm afraid everything will become irreparable. ”
"Are you sure he's really useful?" Tan Yiju asked, "But in my opinion, quelling the rebellion of the Nine Kingdoms is the top priority." ”
Twilight's expression did not change, he said as if he was an emotionless god and Buddha: "There are some things that we cannot contend with, and the power of the heavens cannot be changed by manpower. Nine and a half is really the one who saves the world, and he can only save everything by completing the borrowing genius. As he spoke, Twilight's body seemed to be shattered and gradually disappeared, and at this time, his voice kept coming: "Go to the country of the imprisoned cow and help him, otherwise everything will be doomed." ”
Has things become so serious? Walking through the mountains and forests, Tan Yiju's emotions were mixed. He didn't have the time or mood to look at the wind and the torrent, the world seemed to have nothing to do with him. At this time, he just hoped that he could hurry up, be able to rush over a little faster, and rush to Jiuhan's side.
It doesn't matter if he lives or dies, but he wants the world to live well.
