Chapter 76
Back at the inn, Zhou Zheng immediately covered his room with a hidden enchantment. He always felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him in the dark, giving him a chill in the back.
Seeing Zhou Zheng's solemn face, Shanwei hurriedly asked what happened. Without waiting for Zhou Zheng to speak, the little bell chirped and told Shanwei everything about what happened just now.
"Demons? What is his purpose in harming you? Is it for chalcedony? ”
Zhou Zheng nodded, "From his eagerly looking for my storage bag just now, ninety percent of it is for chalcedony!" ”
"How does he know you have chalcedony on you?" Shanwei was very puzzled, and suddenly, he looked at the little bell, "He has seen you too?" ”
"No, I never let him know I existed! Besides, I was too weak to leave the sword body at that time! It's not like now, you can go back to the sword body once every ten days and half a month! ”
"There are two possibilities, the first is that when the Four Dragons Devouring Immortal Array is broken, I can't help but be overjoyed, and I can't help but play with the sword body. Perhaps, it was seen by Zhu San or the soldier, and they told the demon lord. There's another possibility..."
Zhou Zheng didn't say it, but Shanwei guessed it.
"You mean, the Golden Immortal?"
"Yes! If this demon lord and that golden immortal are in the same group, we will be in big trouble! ”
"No!" Little Bell said with certainty, "I've been with that stinky dwarf for so long, and there has never been a golden fairy by his side!" ”
"Either way, what do we do now?"
Zhou Zheng didn't have a good way, he sighed, "We can only wait and see what happens!" In this way, good deeds, you keep the first half of the night, and I am responsible for the second half of the night. If there is any disturbance, warn immediately! ”
"No, you don't! I've slept all day and can't sleep at night! I'll keep vigil, you sleep soundly! ”
Zhou Zheng is also welcome, he needs to recharge his energy most now, so that he can deal with unexpected situations at any time!
"Then it's hard for you!"
After speaking, Zhou Zheng returned to his room, adjusted his breathing, and entered a deep sleep as soon as possible.
The little bell also honestly returned to the sword body, speeding up the speed of refining chalcedony.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Zhou Zheng continued eastward in the direction of the headquarters of the Department of Corrections in accordance with the previous plan.
Shanwei is still sitting in the carriage meditating and cultivating, and he also needs to recover from his injuries as soon as possible, so that he can help Zhou Zheng when he encounters danger.
After careful consideration by Zhou Zheng, he let the little bell show his figure and accompany them like a little sister. Yesterday when I went shopping, many people saw a little girl next to Zhou Zheng, if the little bell suddenly disappeared, she would be guessed by someone with a heart to be a sword spirit.
In this way, the little girl was so happy! She can go shopping, shopping, and eat food openly!
As for the external relationship, the little girl thinks the doll she made last night is very funny, so she will say this. However, Zhou Zheng strongly objected.
There were three of them, a young man of eighteen or nineteen, a little girl of twelve or thirteen, and a young monk. If you don't have a proper relationship, you will definitely be suspicious!
In the end, Zhou Zheng still has a lot of ghost ideas. For the guards entering the city in the mortal world, it is said that the little bell is the daughter of Zhou Zheng's second uncle's family, who has been abducted since she was a child and has just been found. And good deeds are to find the child's kindness.
The rhetoric for the cultivation realm is that Little Bell is the girl who is the head of Drunken Sun Peak, who has been in the mortal world since she was a child, and happened to be found by Zhou Zheng and Shanwei.
Little Bell is very dissatisfied with being someone else's girl, but Shanwei said that she and Zhou Zheng are both equals and do not suffer! After repeated persuasion, the little girl finally reluctantly agreed.
As for the road guide or something, it's better to say. Zhou Zheng stole a blank road guide from the government office with a little means, and filled in as much as he wanted!
In this way, the three of them happily walked around the scenery during the day and stayed in the city at night. I have to spend an hour every day to accompany the little girl to go shopping, eat and sweep goods. And, of course, there is the essential need to be vigilant at all times.
In a full and happy mood, everyone spent seven or eight days at ease, and the journey was safe.
On this day, they came to Taizhong County. At their current pace, they will be back at the Department of Justice headquarters in four or five days at most. Zhou Zheng felt that it was time to inform the Department of Law and Punishment at this time.
He found a stronghold of the Department of Punishment and sent the news of his return to the Department of Punishment in four or five days to Yang Shan, so that he could return to Wen Ruyuan.
At the same time, he wrote a secret letter to Uncle Yifan. Tell Uncle Shi about the causes and consequences of the little bell, so that the old man will not be confused and empty in the name of his son, but he doesn't know anything! If you get it done, it's not good!
After all this, Zhou Zheng had just returned to the inn when he heard a knock on the door.
"Who?"
"In Xia'an, I came to see the true monarch!"
Zhou Zheng was surprised, he didn't remember knowing a person named An Conghuang. He looked at the good deeds, and the good deeds shook their heads. Looking at the little bell again, the expression is very strange.
"Please come in!"
The moment someone pushed the door open, Zhou Zheng was startled, but it was a little bell with a gloating expression that I expected you to be like this.
Because, the person who came in was none other than the stinky dwarf who was injured by Zhou Zheng in Luqi Town, the little bell's mouth!
That stinky dwarf, no, it should be called An Conghuang, his two arms are bandaged, but it seems that the severed limbs have been knotted. When he saw Zhou Zheng, he bowed his head. He kept saying, "Please save me!" ”
Zhou Zheng and Xiao Bell looked at each other, not understanding which one An Conghuang was singing?
"Get up, please! Come, sit down and speak! ”
Zhou Zheng lifted An up from the wilderness and asked him to sit on a chair.
"An Conghuang? You are? ”
Zhou Zheng naturally wanted to pretend not to know his identity and origin.
"Don't dare to hide the true monarch, he is from the great wilderness, and he is a demon lord of the demon clan."
"The Great Wilderness? Demons? ”
"Yes! Zhenjun may not know that in the Great War of Immortals and Demons more than 700 years ago, in order to preserve our clan and leave the seeds for the continuation of the clan, my king led a group of people who survived to escape to the Great Wilderness and settled there.
However, at that time, our king was too seriously injured, and only a large array was left to protect us, and he died soon after.
With the protection of this great array, Heavenly Court and Golden Immortals can't harm us, and besides, because we are in the Great Wilderness, the environment is harsh, and there are few people. In the end, no one cares about our lives or deaths anymore!
We have thrived under this great array, and the race has slowly returned to its former prosperity.
Originally, we also wanted to live like this forever. However, one day, a great earthquake occurred in the Great Wilderness Land, which was rare in a thousand years, and the cornerstone of the Great Array was destroyed at once, causing the Great Array's self-destructive function.
When my king first built the Great Array, he was afraid that the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals and many Golden Immortals would be wiped out and attack the Great Array to slaughter my demon clansmen. That's why the function of burning jade is set. However, now, on the contrary, all the clansmen are trapped in the big array, and they want to be buried with the big array! ”
"Can't you get out of the great array?"
"Don't hide it from the true monarch, only when you reach the cultivation of the demon lord can you freely enter and leave the big array, and none of the others can come out!"
"How many demon lords do you have now? Didn't a new generation of demon kings be produced? ”
"If only there was a new Demon King! That will definitely have the ability to resolve the crisis of the Great Array! Now, including me, there are four Demon Lords in total. The three Demon Lords were constantly trying to keep the Great Array running normally and slow down the time it took for it to self-destruct. And I, on the other hand, was sent to Kunlun Xu to meet the Demon King Longhai! ”
"Why did you go to see Long Hai?"
"Because Longhai has a magic weapon to set the foundation. With this fixed base disk, the self-destruction of the Great Array can be delayed for at least a hundred years. With this time, there will be more demon lords in the clan, and we will also have time to think of more ways!
At that time, Long Hai's condition was to exchange chalcedony. Chalcedony is very valuable, and our clan also found it by accident, so we only got a small bottle. But this time I'm damned, I've lost the chalcedony! I asked for any other conditions, but Long Hai said that he was not willing to exchange the fixed base plate! Please have mercy on you and save us! ”
Whether the story is true or not, An Conghuang told it with tears in her eyes, which is indeed very moving. Even the little bell couldn't help but pull Zhou Zheng's sleeves.
However, Zhou Zheng was unmoved! Little Bell is her friend, and chalcedony is also very important to her! Zhou Zheng would never ignore the little bell for an irrelevant person! Besides, it is not clear whether An Conghuang is friend or foe now. The purpose of his coming today, whether there is a conspiracy behind it, Zhou Zheng can't see through it for a while. So, he is in no hurry to take a stand!
"Demon Lord An, you came to me today, how do you want me to help?"
"Please raise your noble hand and return the chalcedony to me! From now on, I will be a cow and a horse from the wilderness, but the true monarch and the horse are the first! Zhenjun let me die, and I will not be ambiguous! ”
"An Mo's words are serious! But I don't have chalcedony! Who did Lord An listen to that I have chalcedony? Zhou Zheng lied and came as soon as he opened his mouth, without blushing at all.
"Please don't lie to me!" Saying that, An Conghuang knelt down again, "Please be merciful!" You say, what do you want, I'll try my best to get it for you! ”
"Demon Lord An, I really don't have it! Who the hell are you listening to? ”
"I, I," An Conghuang was also stunned, he thought that the chalcedony was really on Zhou Zheng's body, but now Zhou Zheng didn't admit it, and his expression didn't look like a fake. He didn't know what to do. "I heard from the guards of Long Hai, and they said, I saw you take a sword, which is the same sword I lost with the chalcedony!"
"Sword?" Zhou Zheng deliberately wondered for a long time before he suddenly took out the sword from the storage bag.
"Demon Lord An is talking about this sword?"
An Conghuang's eyes lit up when he saw the sword, "Yes, yes! It's this sword! This is the sword I lost! ”
"Are you sure? Do you know where I got this sword? ”
These words stunned An Congyu. He thought to himself, "Didn't you steal it from me?" What does it mean to ask such a question?
"I don't know."
"Someone trapped us in the Four Dragons Devouring Immortal Array! Want my life! I did our best with Master Shanwei to kill the four evil dragons! When they died, they conjured up the sword. Lord An, are you sure this is your sword? ”
Zhou Zheng said this quite cleverly.
If An Conghuang admits that this sword is his own, then he will have nothing to do with the Four Dragons Devouring Immortal Array! In the next step, Zhou Zheng can arrest him in the name of murdering the True Monarch of the Law and Punishment Division!
At the same time, these words will also bury questions in An Conghuang's heart, why is this sword in the Four Dragons Devouring Immortal Array?
The power of the Four Dragons Devouring Immortal Array An Conghuang naturally knew that he knew who arranged it! Now, the man who arranged this formation has put his sword in the array, and the intention to blame the evil has been revealed! The man swore that the chalcedony was in Zhou Zheng's hands, and its sinister purpose was self-evident!
"Long Hai! It turns out that you are a thief shouting to catch a thief! You're sending me to death! Ann thought of hatred in her heart.
"Demon Lord An, are you sure this sword is yours?" Zhou Zheng asked again.
"No!" An Conghuang hurriedly denied, "It looks like it at first glance, but if you look closely, it's really not the one I lost!" ”
"Are you sure?"
"Sure! Are you sure! It's not my one! ”
The little bell standing next to him couldn't hold back his laughter. She thought to herself, this week is really bad enough! A word of nonsense will take other people's things as their own!
"In that case, I said that the chalcedony is not on me, and the Demon Lord should believe it, right?"
"Believe! Believe! ”
After saying that, An Conghuang's whole person collapsed! He came to Zhou Zheng with hope, thinking that he could get chalcedony and then exchange it for a fixed base plate. However, now, he found that everything was done by Long Hai, and his hopes were shattered all of a sudden!
He hates Long Hai, but Long Hai is the demon king after all, and he can't beat it! He wants to set the foundation, but now it is clear that Long Hai is greedy for his chalcedony, and he still cheats on him and does not give him the treasure that saves people, he can only hate, but he has nothing to do!
Seeing An Conghuang suddenly age by more than ten years, Shanwei was a little unbearable. He looked at the little bell pleadingly.
The recovery of the little bell is indeed inseparable from chalcedony. However, if it is compared to saving the lives of a clan, it doesn't matter if Little Bell feels that he can't recover for the time being! It's a big deal, just follow Zhou Zheng for a longer time! She didn't discuss it with Zhou Zheng, and opened her mouth to say, "An Conghuang, chalcedony, Ben..."
"It's precious, but it's hard to find! But," Zhou Zheng hurriedly took over the little bell's words. He knew what the little girl thought, but he firmly disapproved of her doing it!
"A treasure like a fixed base plate is not unique!"
Ann's eyes from the ashes of the ashes instantly lit up again.
"Zhenjun, you mean that you have a magic weapon like the fixed base disk? Or do you know who has it? ”
"The purpose of fixing the base disk is to delay the self-destruction of the Great Array. What if you break the big array directly? Can all of you be saved? ”
"That's nature! However, it was a large array arranged by my king's own hands, where could it be easily broken? The light in Ann's eyes dimmed again.
"How does your Great Array compare to the Four Dragons Devouring Immortal Array?"
"There is no comparison! Our large array is mainly defensive. Although the Four Dragons Devouring Immortal Array is very powerful, it is not as good as our Great Array! ”
This made Zhou Zheng silent for a while. Didn't he think it was just a formation, what formation couldn't he break in his Qiankun circle? Even in the face of the Four Dragons Devouring Immortal Array controlled by the Golden Immortals, the performance of the Qiankun Circle is also remarkable!
However, although An Conghuang said it implicitly, it could be seen from his disdainful expression on the Four Dragons Devouring Immortal Array that the big array he said was indeed extremely powerful! So, can the Qiankun circle live up to expectations and break through the big array? Zhou Zheng didn't have a plan in his heart!
