Chapter 694: Wind and rain
When he saw the contents of the jade box, the corners of Su Yi's lips twitched imperceptibly.
Another paper crane!
So why does the crazy woman like origami cranes so much?
Su Yi was speechless.
But soon, he was stunned and noticed that this paper crane was different.
It is pale silver all over, its eyes are like a pair of crystal clear blood diamonds, its head is lowered, and the beak of a bird is combing its wings, which is lifelike and vivid.
On the back of the paper crane, it carries a bronze box the size of a grain of rice.
What's even more incredible is that the bronze box is small enough, but on the box, there is also a note sealed.
The handwriting on the top of the note was so small that it could only be read by mind.
"Old thief Su, keep this box for me."
"If you are in danger of your life one day, open this box."
"I know you're not going to listen to persuasion, and I'm curious to know what's in that box, but give me face this time, don't do it, okay?"
Looking at the handwriting on the note, Su Yi couldn't help but touch his nose.
The mad woman guessed correctly, if it weren't for the last sentence, she would have opened this small box like a grain of rice.
"It's really ...... to fold paper cranes with 'Star Soul Silk' and 'Xuan Demon Blood Crystal' Tyrannical Creatures ......"
Su Yi scolded and closed the jade box again.
In his previous life, as the Xuanjun Sword Master who was the sole desolate man, he had collected countless treasures in the past years.
Compared with the pawnshop owner, it is slightly inferior.
The woman who was excessively beautiful, but extremely temperamental, had many mysterious and unknowable treasures in her hands.
She was like a mysterious treasure, as if she could come up with some strange treasure at any time.
Like the "knock clock", "star abacus" and "discretion scale" in the pawnshop, it can be called a rare treasure in the world.
And that's just a drop in the bucket of the madwoman's collection.
Putting away the jade box, Su Yi looked at the sky and walked into the distance.
It was the second half of the morning.
The stars and the moon are sparse, and the sky and the earth are cold and silent.
The top of a mountain.
Dong Guo Feng sat on the ground, looking at the bronze box in his hand, with a hint of hesitation in his expression.
As he said in the pawnshop, he didn't have any needs, and he didn't plan to trade with the old courtier, and his state of mind has always adhered to an attitude of no desire, no desire, no merit.
But in the end, the old courteous man gave him this bronze box.
This made Dong Guo Feng still not understand what was going on.
"Could it be that after weighing the abacus, he really thinks that he is blessed with good fortune and good luck, and he not only exempted himself from punishment, but also gave himself a chance?"
Dongguo Feng groaned.
What he saw in the pawnshop tonight was an eye-opener for him and shocked.
I can't imagine how there can be such an incredible pawnshop in this world.
Even, throughout the ages, there are still many imperial realm characters pawning things in it!
Such as the Glowing Sword left by the Sword Emperor of the Xuan Nether Realm, the left hand left by the Empress, and so on.
All this is completely beyond Dongguo Feng's cognition, and until now, there is a feeling of unreality.
The night breeze was blowing, and suddenly a faint voice sounded:
"With such an opportunity, you can calm down."
Dong Guo Feng's heart was shocked, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar figure coming from a distance.
It's Su Yi!
"What happened before, Daoist friends have seen it?"
Dong Guo Feng got up.
Su Yi said casually: "The origin of that pawnshop is very mysterious, it can be called the Heavenly Pawnshop, since ancient times, it has shuttled between different world planes, but anyone who is qualified to trade with the pawnshop is undoubtedly lucky." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the bronze box and said, "The items in this box were left by a sword emperor on the demon path, which will be of great benefit to your sword path cultivation, and it will give you a lot of confidence when you become the emperor in the future." ”
"But if you are blessed with this, you will also be bound by the cause and effect of this thing, and you will consider it before you decide whether to open it or not."
With that, Su Yi turned around and left.
Quietly came, left a few words, and drifted away.
This made Dong Guo Feng stunned.
Until Su Yi's figure disappeared into the night, he looked down at the bronze box, remembering the scenes he had experienced in that mysterious pawnshop, and couldn't help but feel confused.
Who is this Su Yi?
Why did he know all about the origin of that mysterious pawnshop?
……
The dilapidated Taoist temple abandoned in the wilderness.
When Su Yi returned, it was about to dawn.
Seeing that Su Yi was safe and sound, Wen Xinzhao and the others were secretly relieved.
"Brother Su, is there a problem with the bell before?"
Wen Xinzhao couldn't help but ask.
"It's just a trivial matter, let's go, let's go to Jiuding City."
Su Yi said.
……
February 18.
Jiuding City, on Tianmang Mountain.
A pavilion built next to a sea of clouds on the edge of a cliff.
"Lord, since the fifteenth day of February, Su Yi killed Chu Yunke and others of Yunyin Sword Mountain in the Linglong Ghost Domain, the seven ancient forces have been connected with each other, and it is very likely that they are planning to deal with Su Yi."
Weng Jiuyu reports.
"It's normal, they regard Su Yi as a must-kill target, and after learning that Su Yi appeared, they may be indifferent."
Emperor Xia, dressed in a cloth robe, whispered.
He held a signal shaped like a waning moon, and his eyes were a little subtle and complicated.
Weng Jiu didn't notice this scene and continued to report: "Lord, last time, the seven ancient giants spoke together and issued an ultimatum to us, asking us to make a decision before the first day of the fourth month, and now, there is only one month left before the first day of the fourth month. ”
Emperor Xia's brows furrowed.
The Seven Ancient Giant Forces had ordered the Great Xia Imperial Family to cede Jiuding City and Tianmang Mountain before the first day of the fourth month.
Otherwise, the troops will come to the city and join forces to attack!
This incident has spread all over the summer, causing panic among the people of Jiuding City.
It also made the situation of the Great Xia royal family precarious.
"Don't worry, there is still a period of time before the first day of April, so there is no need to panic."
After a moment of silence, Emperor Xia took a deep breath and said, "As long as Su Daoyou comes, he can help us repair the boundary array of Jiuding Town, even if they join forces to attack, they can be kept out of Jiuding City!" ”
Weng Jiu hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Lord, if Su Daoyou comes to Jiuding City, the seven ancient giants who regard Su Daoyou as a thorn in their eyes, I am afraid that they will use this as an excuse to come and make trouble!" If that's the case, it's not going to be a good thing......"
Emperor Xia's eyes narrowed.
At this moment, a waiter hurriedly came and presented a secret letter, saying, "Your Majesty, a letter from the Demon Huan Clan." ”
Emperor Xia took the secret letter and opened it, and saw that the letter only read:
"If the Great Xia clan gives Su Yi the protection of this son this time, the Huan clan will regard the Great Xia clan as an enemy together with the Tianji Daomen, the Burning Sun Sect, the Pure Sky Zen Sect, the Yunyin Sword Mountain, and the Dongguo Clan!"
Payment: Huan Tiandu.
Emperor Xia's expression was uncertain.
Worried about what happened, it just happened!
"Why isn't there a Netherworld Temple?"
Emperor Xia suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
The waiter shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
Emperor Xia looked at the letterhead in his hand and thought thoughtfully, "It seems that only the six ancient giants have a resolute attitude on this matter. ”
Huan Tiandu, a great cultivator of the Spirit Wheel Realm in the Demon Huan Clan!
No one would dare to fake his letter.
"Lord, things are getting worse."
Weng Jiu was worried.
Emperor Xia folded the letterhead and said calmly: "Do you think that without the reason of Su Daoyou, those ancient forces would not be our enemies?" ”
Weng Jiu didn't hesitate: "No." ”
"That's right."
Xia Huang said, "No matter how serious the situation is, we will never give up Su Daoyou!" ”
As if he had made up his mind, he said, "Of course, the preparations that should be made are naturally to be done. ”
With that, he strode away.
Weng Jiu seemed to have guessed something, and his expression changed for a while.
For a long time, he sighed and was silent.
Qingyun Courtyard.
When Su Yi was in Jiuding City, he lived here for a period of time.
What he didn't know was that this small courtyard with a quiet and elegant environment originally had another owner.
It was noon and the sky was shining.
In the small courtyard of Qingyun in early spring, the grass and trees are full of trees, and the lake is rippling, which is a vibrant spring scene.
in the courtyard.
A woman with outstanding appearance and graceful figure sat casually on a bamboo chair on the side of the flowers.
Her hair was jet black, she looked like she was in her early twenties, and her eyebrows were turning, but with a hint of vicissitudes of maturity, adding a touch of grace to her.
When he walked into the courtyard and saw this woman, Emperor Xia's expression suddenly became complicated.
The woman's name is Pu Surong, and the mother of her daughter Xia Qingyuan was also his wife.
is also a woman whose origin is like a mystery.
Soon after Xia Qingyuan was born, Pu Surong left a piece of paper, quietly left, and disappeared.
Over the years, whenever he thought of this woman, Emperor Xia had an indescribable feeling in his heart, abrupt, angry, helpless, and bitter...... Both.
And now, she's back.
However, it was not to reunite with him, but to take his daughter Xia Qingyuan and leave the Cangqing Continent!
"Have you thought it through?"
Seeing Emperor Xia, Pu Surong, who was sitting on a bamboo chair, smiled and spoke.
However, it seems to be smiling, but his expression is calm, and his eyes reveal a taste of alienation, as if he is talking to a stranger.
Emperor Xia stabilized his mind, his expression became calm, and he said, "Your request is too much, I will never agree." ”
Pu Surong frowned slightly, and said: "I know, you are reluctant to have a daughter, but don't forget, now the Great Xia royal family behind you is in danger, and it may be destroyed at any time." ”
Speaking of this, she looked serious and said, "But as long as you promise to let your daughter and me leave, in return, I can help you and the Great Xia royal family behind you resolve this crisis!" ”
Emperor Xia said expressionlessly: "I said, there is no possibility of negotiating this matter. ”
Pu Surong was obviously a little displeased, and said, "Then what are you going to do when you come here today, reminiscence?" Trying to redeem the relationship between you and me? I don't have the leisure and time, so I'd better die for you. ”
The cold words fell into the ears of Emperor Xia, but the words were like a sword, stabbing his heart with severe pain, and his chest was so stuffy that it was about to explode.
Half-loud, he took a deep breath and said expressionlessly: "You think too much, I'm just here to tell you that I have a distinguished guest coming, he is a nostalgic person, and he will live in this Qingyun courtyard." ”
He raised his head and looked at Pu Surong, "So, please move the place." ”
"What are you...... Want to drive me away? ”
Pu Surong's delicate body sat up straight all of a sudden, as if she couldn't believe it.
