Chapter 84: Deception

"Could it be because the king needs to arrange for the palace people to complete these plans for him, but he doesn't want to explain the reasons again and again, and he doesn't want the palace people to speculate in their hearts."

"So why don't you just put yourself on a high-sounding reason?" Shen Yueru's eyes widened slightly, and she said this sentence unnaturally.

"I think it's a bit of a possibility." Bian Tingyu nodded.

"If that's the case, then the king can also find someone else, the merchant just happened to run into the king's plan, and if the matter is exposed later, he can also push the merchant out as a scapegoat."

Song Shiyin always felt that things were not so simple, but she had no other thoughts, so she could only put this question back in her heart for the time being.

"So the first question has been answered for the time being, but what about the second question?" Shen Yueru asked.

The second question was answered by no one.

The information that the merchants could provide had reached its limit, and the rest of the things they could only ask the king were left to impasse.

Xu Chengtian proposed, "I still have a magic weapon here that can hide my body, why don't I take the risk of going to the king's study once, bring back the prophecy and the book, and let's take a good look at what is written on it?" c

"I think it's okay, but won't it be a little dangerous for you to go alone, senior brother?" Shen Yueru said with some concern.

Xu Chengtian smiled bitterly: "There is no way, we only have this one invisible magic weapon left, and now in this situation, only it can come in handy."

But this proposal was rejected by Wen Xuan, who said, "The prophecy on the parchment and the contents of the book were forged by the king, and it is very likely that they were not written for his true purpose, but only to conceal the ears and eyes of the people."

"We're going to look for this, and we're likely to be misled."

"yes." Bian Tingyu nodded, and she just thought of this.

"Anyway, we still have an invisible magic weapon here, how can we make greater use of it?" Han Shan looked at everyone and asked.

"Could it be that we sneaked into the King's palace and knocked him unconscious and brought him out?" Bian Tingyu raised her eyebrows.

Song Shiyin slapped Bian Tingyu's head on the top of the head, and said helplessly, "What a bad idea."

"What do you say?" Bian Tingyu pursed her mouth.

"Otherwise, we can only use the invisible magic weapon to avoid the king's detection as before, and silently observe him to see if he can show his feet." Su He, who had never opened his mouth, also sighed.

"There are too many gambling elements in this practice, and the risks are too great, if the king acts normally during this period, then we will not waste another magic weapon in vain?" Wen Yu shook his head and refused.

"But there's no better way to do it now." Su He spoke again.

What is to be done to get the king to tell the truth about all this?

In a flash of inspiration, Song Shiyin suddenly thought of something, she smiled slightly, and said, "We all think too much, in fact, the answer is right in front of us."

"Shiyin, what do you think of?" Bian Tingyu hurriedly asked.

Everyone in the team looked at Song Shiyin.

Song Shiyin asked the crowd, "Why does the king want to sacrifice?"

Everyone in the team was stunned.

Bian Tingyu replied, "It's for the birth of the gods."

So, Song Shiyin said, "The answer is here."

Wen Xuan and Yu Chi Muyi already had a smile on their faces, Zhuo Guang was still expressionless, and Rao Ning had been wandering the world, as if he was an outsider.

Su He, like Song Shiyin, was turning his head to watch everyone's reactions, and only Bian Tingyu, Shen Yueru and Han Shan were still out of the situation.

Even the merchant had already reacted, saying, "I know you have what it takes, but it's not easy to convince the king."

Bian Tingyu couldn't stand this state that everyone knew, and she was kept in the dark, she asked, "What? Shiyin, tell me quickly."

Song Shiyin smiled

He poked her forehead with his finger: "The king wants a god to be born, so let's give him a god."

Bian Tingyu's eyes widened, her mouth opened slightly, and she suddenly realized, "Yes, yes! It's so easy."

Since they are gods, there must be something different from ordinary people, and as monks, they are very different from mortals, even if they lose their spiritual power at this time, the immortal cultivation materials in the storage bag are still available.

As long as they can make reasonable use of the resources they have, it will not be difficult to hide from the king.

Song Shiyin turned to the merchant and said, "We will make the king believe it, and we will ask you to cooperate then."

The merchant nodded.

This trip to the palace was not only very smooth, but also allowed them to get more clues, and made new progress for them to break the game.

The team returned to the residence where they had stayed before, Du Yunxi and Zheng Ziyu had not yet returned, and Song Shiyin was not sure if they had suffered an accident.

"Yun Xi, how long have they been out? Why haven't you come back so late?" Song Shiyin asked.

"They set out at the hour to see the sun, and it was time for Shen to go from Shacheng to the oasis, but fifty miles, and it took so long to come and go?" Wen Xuan was also a little worried, he paced left and right, slightly anxious.

"There can't really be any accidents, right? If there are a lot of burning people in the desert, will the people and guards be able to deal with it?" Bian Tingyu said loudly, because she was anxious, she couldn't control her volume.

"Wait and see, if they don't return, I'll go out and look for them." After thinking for a moment, Wen Xuan made a decision.

While waiting, everyone in the team reviewed all the clues they knew so far, and along the way, although there were stutters from time to time, it was not very smooth, but the result was still good.

They already have the object of the most suspicion, and now they only need to verify them one by one to get the truth, and it won't take long for this formation to be broken.

Time passed little by little, and the unitary time soon came, but Du Yunxi and Zheng Ziyu still did not return.

"I decided to go out and have a look." Wen Xuan lifted the hem of his clothes and stood up from the ground with a bang.

"Senior Brother Wen, I'll go with you." Song Shiyin looked up at Wen Yu and also stood up.

"We'll go too." The rest of the team chimed in.

"No, if something really happens to them, the risk is too great, so I'll go alone, whether I come back or not, you will go according to the original plan." Wen Qiu shook his head.

"If the king is killed, how do we plan?" Shen Yueru asked rhetorically.

Wen Xi was silent for a moment, and finally agreed to go with the team to find Du Yunxi and Zheng Ziyu.

Fortunately, just as they were ready to leave, the army finally returned to Sand City.

The people sang and danced, they managed to get food back from the oasis, enough to eat for several days, and the most important thing for them was the courage of this trip.

They were no longer afraid of the fire, and even had the idea of continuing to work in the oasis every day, as before.

The king returned to the palace with his guards, and Du Yunxi and Zheng Ziyu also returned safely.

"Yunxi, this journey is going well, and you are not injured, right?" As soon as they saw Du Yunxi, Song Shiyin and Bian Tingyu rushed up, Song Shiyin took Du Yunxi's hand and asked.

"I'm fine, I'm going to go quite well, I'll talk to you when I get back." Du Yunxi and Zheng Ziyu returned to the residence.

Song Shiyin closed the doors and windows tightly, and then took out the soundproof barrier that he had used with the merchant during the day.

Du Yunxi opened his mouth to talk about the experience of this trip: "After we set out, the guards opened the way in front, the king walked behind them, and the people walked last, and Zheng Daoyou and I mixed in with them."

"We didn't meet anyone burning on the way, we arrived at the oasis without any problems, and the reason why we came back so late was because we were delayed in the oasis for a long time."

"It's not easy for people to travel once, they just want to bring back as much food as possible, and so does the king

Didn't stop them."

"Well, we stayed at the oasis for a long time, until it was a little dark, and the king gave the order, and the people reluctantly left."

"It's weird." After finishing speaking, Zhuo Guang frowned and spoke first.

"According to the pattern of the previous days, the Burners will exit the Sand City at night, return to the desert, and attack again during the day."

"If the Burners appear in the daytime, and the desert is the base camp of the Burners, why is it that the Burners disappear without a trace when so many people step into the desert today?"

This is indeed a doubt.

"Could it be that the burning man is gone? It's like they appeared inexplicably, and now they're inexplicably gone?" Shen Yueru said uncertainly.

"It's really possible, but I don't think it's like it, the Fire Burning Man actually appeared in this secret realm, it must have a big effect, let's wait and see." Zhuoguang answered her.

There was no new news from Du Yunxi's side, so Song Shiyin shared the news he got from the merchant when he went to the palace today and shared it with Du Yunxi and Zheng Ziyu.

Both of them were a little surprised, but they didn't expect that in less than a few hours, the culprit of this incident had changed from the merchant they suspected to be the king, and the two of them also agreed very much with the team's arrangements for the future.

"Have you decided on a person to play the god?" Du Yunxi asked.

Everyone in the team shook their heads, they only had a preliminary plan, but how to implement it was not discussed.

"I still have a few vestments in my storage bag, the material is silkworm light yarn, sparkling, mainly defensive, and I should be able to achieve the effect of an immortal when I wear it." Shen Yueru took the lead in taking out a piece of clothing from the storage bag.

This robe is indeed as she said, the whole body is white, but there is a faint golden light, and if you look closely, it turns out that there are gold threads hidden in it.

"Shen Daoyou's contribution is quite useful, thank you." Wen Yu nodded.

"We can only rely on magic weapons to win the king's trust now, so the selection and role of magic weapons is very important, and my idea is that everyone should first take out the magic weapons in their storage bags and classify them."

"Remembering its role aside, let's think about it together, see what kind of occasion it can be used, preferably to be able to play its greatest value, and it is our only purpose to win the king's trust."

Everyone in the team nodded, and they began to get busy, taking out the same magic weapon from the storage bag, and a small mountain was piled up in front of everyone.

Song Shiyin's magic weapons here are all some commonly used, defensive magic weapons, such as spiritual power shields, shields, she is not a person who is keen on collecting magic weapons, and magic weapons have always been expensive, she can save them.

Among all the people present, the person with the most magic weapons was Shen Yueru, there was more than one pile of magic weapons in front of her, and she couldn't even name many magic weapons.

In the process of rummaging, Wen Yu thought of a little more, and he said, "Everyone, we still need to eliminate those magic weapons that need to be urged by spiritual power, and at the moment we can only use the magic weapons triggered by the switch, or take out the ones that automatically produce effect."

This sentence had no effect on Song Shiyin, because she only had two magic weapons in total, all of which were automatically effective.

Shen Yueru over there made a difficulty, she didn't know the names and effects of some magic weapons, and now if she wanted to pick them out, she needed to use spiritual power to urge them, which was even more difficult.

Song Shiyin looked at the talisman and pill in his storage bag and felt a little pity, the talisman must use spiritual power to be activated, but the elixir-

Song Shiyin suddenly remembered that the elixir could not only act on the monk's body.

There was a hint of joy on her face, and she quickly spoke, "Fellow Daoists, if you have pills, maybe you can also take them out and take a look, some pills have little effect on monks, but they are elixirs for ordinary mortals."
