Volume 1: The Case of the Talented Son of Linzhou Chapter 20: True Runes
Liu Zhi's gaze was firmly fixed on Duan Ming, and after a long time, he sighed softly: "Mr. Duan, don't you think you know too much?" ”
"If I don't know anything, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to be caught by you." Duan Ming smiled: "If I want to live, I feel that I have to show my value in front of you." ”
"But people who know too much will never live long." Liu Zhi said in a deep voice.
"That's because he doesn't know enough." Duan Ming shook his head: "When I know a lot of things that you don't know, then you are reluctant to kill me." ”
"Something I don't know?" Liu Zhi shook his head: "Mr. Duan, you can tell me, I don't know anything?" ”
"There are many talented people in Linzhou, and the title of 'Four Great Talents' of Su Meng and several people is just for their own amusement, but why did the Immortal Church choose them as its target? You know what? Duan Ming asked with a smile.
"This ......" Liu Zhi thought for a moment, then shook his head with a smile: "Mr. Duan, don't deceive me." As you said, there are many talented people in Linzhou, and someone has to die, and it doesn't matter who dies. Choose them, that is, they deserve to die. ”
"No, no, they're going to die, but not just because they're unlucky." Duan Ming shook his head: "Even if the Immortal Sect doesn't plan to rebel, these four people are certain to die." ”
"Then you might as well tell me why you died?" Liu Zhi became interested.
"The Immortal Sect has seven deities and twelve texts, and the so-called twelve texts are twelve runes, you know." Duan Ming didn't sell it either, and said bluntly.
"Of course." Liu Zhi nodded.
"The Immortal Sect has distributed these twelve texts throughout the world to propagate the teachings of the Immortal Religion." Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "Everyone in the world says that the Immortal Sect is selfless, but they don't know the careful thinking behind the Immortal Sect. These 12 texts that are widely distributed all over the world are actually just imitations of fakes. ”
"The imitation runes are different from the real runes, so the imitation runes are less magical than the real runes."
"And the reason why Su Meng and the others died is because Ji Qianfan didn't know where to get a true rune of the Immortal Sect."
"Ji Qianfan has an excellent relationship with the four of them, so Ji Qianfan handed over this rune to Su Meng and others to study together, but he didn't want to involve the four of them to die under the plan of the Immortal Sect."
"Even, in order to destroy the true runes that were accidentally lost, the Immortal Sect also sent people to sneak into the Su, Fang, Du, and Ji four families, and even directly led to the death of the old lady of the Fang family."
"Liu Tongzhi, do you know this?"
"You mean, Old Lady Fang's death is the handiwork of the Immortal Sect?" Liu Zhi's brows furrowed.
You must know that the entire affairs of Linzhou City have been handed over to him for command, but he really doesn't know anything about this matter.
"Of course, you can ask your father, Old Man Liu." Duan Ming said in a deep voice.
"Him?" Liu Zhi was slightly puzzled, and then suddenly raised his head: "You said that Old Man Liu is my father?" ”
"Is there anything hard to guess?" Duan Ming said: "You both have the surname Liu, Old Man Liu also said in the past that he only has one son left, and you look about the same age, and your appearance looks a little similar." ”
"All surnamed Liu?" Liu Zhi shook his head and said, "Mr. Duan, what you said is too hasty. ”
"Perhaps, but whether it is to judge the case and analyze, isn't it necessary to make bold assumptions and carefully verify it?" Duan Ming replied.
"Huh." Liu Zhi shook his head: "Mr. Duan, I will naturally ask what you say, but these things like you are not enough for me to keep your life." ”
With that, Liu Zhi slowly stood up and took out a small dagger from the basket.
"Don't you want to be the eighth deity of the Immortal Sect?" However, Duan Ming's face did not show any panic, but said extremely calmly.
"Huh?" Liu Zhi's movements froze, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Duan Ming's face: "What do you mean?" ”
"Each of the Seven Venerables of the Immortal Sect is a person with a unique understanding of the twelve runes. In other words, if you have a deep understanding of a rune, then you can become the eighth deity. Duan Ming whispered: "The real rune in Ji Qianfan's hand, the Immortal Sect has not completely destroyed, but in my hands. ”
"I can help you comprehend this rune if you want. In this way, you become the eighth deity of the Immortal Sect. If the Immortal Sect succeeds in rebellion in the future, you will be the eighth emperor of this world. ”
"On the contrary, you will surely die."
"What do you mean?" Liu Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Xing Qianqiu is not a kind person, although he hasn't thought it was you at the moment, but as long as it takes a little longer, he will find out about you sooner or later." Duan Ming said: "In order to save your life, you must deal with him, and it is best to be able to kill him." ”
"But what is your value? Your power in the Spiegel Division isn't too small, but it's not that big. ”
"Your biggest role is to guide and monitor the torturers. Once you die, you have no value. ”
"Think about it, like you said before. What happens to you when you become a worthless person who knows a lot of things? ”
"This ......" Liu Zhi was shocked in his heart, and immediately understood what Duan Ming meant.
After hesitating for a long time, Liu Zhi said, "You said that the rune is in your hand, where is it?" I need to see before I decide. ”
"It's in my morgue, well, with that yellow cloth." Duan Ming said.
"Okay, I'll go get it now." Liu Zhi nodded: "If you dare to lie to me, I will be the first to kill you first." Even if you are exterminated by the Immortal Sect in the future, I will not let you live. ”
"Don't worry." Duan Ming nodded: "How could I lie to you?" But please, will you do one thing? ”
"Say." Liu Zhi said in a deep voice: "Don't want me to let you go." ”
"Of course." Duan Ming smiled: "I just said so much, I'm really a little thirsty, can you give me some water." ”
"There's no water here, only wine, do you want to drink?" Liu Zhi said and walked back to the table and poured a bowl of wine.
"Of course, of course." Duan Ming nodded repeatedly.
Then Liu Zhi gave Duan Ming a bowl of wine, and then left in a hurry.
Duan Ming looked at the closed door and the dark room, and sighed deeply......
Soon, Liu Zhi came to the door of the morgue, and compared with asking Old Man Liu first, the real rune that Duan Ming said made Liu Zhi pay more attention.
However, before Liu Zhi could push open the door, he heard a voice coming from behind him: "Liu Zhi." ”
Liu Zhi's body stiffened suddenly, and then he turned his head to look behind him, only to see that Xing Qianqiu was behind him at the moment.
"Command." Liu Zhi calmed down and looked at Xing Qianqiu with a serious face: "Mr. Duan, something happened!" ”
