Chapter 103: News of the Star Yuan Stone (Ask for Follow-up!) )
What Ye Changsheng called Brother Ming was a middle-aged man named Ming Rui.
Dressed in a Confucian shirt and with a dignified face, he looked less like a monk and more like a high-ranking official in the world.
It is also quite wonderful to say that this person's experience is indeed a high-ranking official in the Yue court in his early years.
He used to be an official who worshipped the military department.
Later, by chance, he discovered the spiritual root and walked towards the path of cultivating immortals.
Now he is a foundation-building monk in Tianque Castle.
Ye Changsheng and this person knew each other on the battlefield, and the two had dealt with the siege of seven or eight Demon Dao Foundation Cultivators together.
Speaking of which, this Ming Rui is also a little famous among the monks of the Seven Sects.
His fighting strength is also very strong, although he has a scholarly style, but when he kills, he can be ruthless.
Ye Changsheng had inquired about the news of the Xingyuan Stone at the Battle Merit Exchange Office, and it happened to be seen by Ming Mingrui, and this gentleman mentioned that he had encountered a Xingyuan Stone in his early years.
So, he made an agreement with Ye Changsheng to exchange his battle exploits for a piece of red blood stone on the list in exchange for the news of the Xingyuan Stone.
Now, Ye Changsheng has changed to the Red Blood Stone, and he immediately came to him.
Taking the blood-red stone, Ming Ming Rui took a closer look at it, and laughed: "Haha, it is really a red blood stone, Brother Ye made a move, it was really extraordinary!" ”
"This red blood stone is the material for refining magic weapons, I killed ten Demon Dao Foundation Building Monks to save enough battle merits and exchange it for this item!"
"Brother Ming, if the information you give is worthless, don't blame me for being unkind!" Ye Changsheng said lightly, with a hint of threat in his words.
"Haha, Brother Ye, please rest assured, I don't dare to lie to anyone!" Tomorrow Rui said with a smile.
Looking at Ye Changsheng's gaze, there was a hint of admiration, and at the same time, there was also a sense of jealousy.
He had seen Ye Changsheng's strength with his own eyes, although he was also a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, he would definitely not be able to compete with the other party.
"To tell you the truth, that Xingyuan Stone was seen in the capital of Yue Kingdom eighty years ago!" Tomorrow Rui's face turned straight and said.
"Eighty years ago, if I'm not mistaken, Brother Ming, you were still an official at that time, right?" Ye Changsheng showed a look of surprise on his face.
"That's right, at that time, I had just become the secretary of the military department, and I was in high spirits and ready to show my skills!" Tomorrow Rui said with a bitter smile, with a hint of nostalgia on his face.
"And then you will be degraded and exiled!" Ye Changsheng said lightly.
During this time, he also knew a little bit about this person and knew his tortuous past.
Tomorrow Rui, before stepping into the world of cultivating immortals, was a Confucian official who was dedicated to helping the world and saving the people.
Both civil and military, can fight on horseback, can write a pen, and is promoted all the way, and became a secretary of the military department in his thirties, which can be said to be a prosperous official.
But because he was too upright, he offended the emperor at that time somehow, and then he was degraded and exiled.
"Haha, Brother Ye is also very clear about my past, but I didn't tell you why I was demoted in the first place!"
When Ye Changsheng heard this, his face showed a deep groan: "You mentioned this, could it be that the whereabouts of the Xingyuan Stone have something to do with Ling being demoted?" ”
"Something implicated!"
Tomorrow Rui said, his face showing a look of memory.
"When I first became the secretary of the Ministry of War, I sent troops to escort a batch of rare goods from the local state capital to the Yue Emperor!"
"In this shipment, there is no need to mention the gold, silver and jewelry, but there are some rare things inside, and when I set foot on the path of cultivation, I found that they were all kinds of materials needed by monks!"
"At that time, neither court officials like me nor local officials knew these things, but because they were very unique, they were presented to the palace as all kinds of auspicious and strange things!"
"I've seen it with my own eyes, and it contained a stone the size of a fingernail, black throughout, but shining with stars at night!"
Hearing Ming Rui's story, Ye Changsheng nodded slowly.
The black stone, emitting starlight, is undoubtedly the star stone.
I think those local officials are treating this thing as a night pearl and giving it to the emperor.
Who would have thought that this would be a precious piece of material for refining magic weapons.
It's just that the Yue Emperor ......
Ye Changsheng's eyes showed a contemplative look.
And Tomorrow Rui seems to have opened the conversation box and began to talk endlessly.
"The general who escorted this cargo came back and told me a strange thing. He found that some villages near the capital were empty, and all the people were gone! ”
"It's weird, and there is no war near the capital, how can there be an empty village?"
"Just a few days later, I heard from the Criminal Department that in many places in Vietnam, some people have disappeared inexplicably."
"They suspect that there is a large human trafficking organization in Vietnam and that powerful people are involved."
"When I heard about this, I was furious, so I immediately went to the court and asked for a thorough investigation into the matter!"
"And then you're demoted?" Ye Changsheng asked.
"Haha, Brother Ye guessed that I was relegated all the way to the remote border, but by chance, I discovered the cultivation method in a mountain forest, and since then I have embarked on the road of cultivation."
"I have always suspected that the case of missing persons is related to the emperor, but unfortunately, after I became a disciple of the Seven Sects, I was unable to go to the palace to investigate!"
Tomorrow Rui sighed again and again, with a lonely expression.
It seems that even if this person enters the world of cultivating immortals, the original mind of worrying about the country and the people has not changed.
"Missing people? I'm afraid it has something to do with the blood sacrifice of the Yue Emperor, right? Looks like I'm going to have to make a trip to Yuejing! Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
"Thank you Brother Ming for telling me, it seems that if I want to get the Xingyuan Stone, I have to find another way!" Ye Changsheng arched his hand.
"Haha, the disciples of the Seven Sects are not allowed to enter the palace, this matter is indeed very troublesome! However, if the Star Yuan Stone in the palace is stolen one day, I know that someone doesn't know about it! I only hope that when the Xingyuan Stone is stolen, the Yue Emperor can also be killed by the thieves! Tomorrow Rui blinked and said to Ye Changsheng.
Ye Changsheng's heart moved, and he also smiled slightly, and said, "Then let's see, what kind of thief is so bold that he dares to enter the palace and kill the emperor!" ”
"Now that the world is in chaos, maybe this thief is disguised by a demon monk, what do you say, Brother Ye?" Tomorrow Rui Zheng color road.
"What Brother Ming said is very true!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
