Chapter 229: Calculation
Letting go of Hu Songqi is not a whim.
Some people have both cowardly and rigid personalities, and they are destined not to settle down, and they always have to do something.
Hu Songqi is such a person, and after determining that Link is not in the provincial capital, he will not be willing to be squeezed like this, and secretly poke and poke to make trouble.
What Link wants is for Hu Songqi to make trouble, so as to find more clues about ancient witchcraft and evil witchcraft.
As for Hu Suqi's side, Link didn't fully believe her side of the story.
Although he was a little sorry for the senior brother, Link still used some means against him and guided him to confess to Hu Suqi.
Whether Hu Suqi accepts it or not, it is a kind of containment.
Whether it can work or not, we will see later, and I am not in a hurry to make an assertion.
The one who enters the lotus heart boat is actually a clone.
Link's true body had changed at this moment, and even the frequency of his aura and mental power fluctuations had changed.
I believe that even Li Shuwen in the Cave Realm will not be able to recognize Lin Kelai in person.
A passenger ship sailing down the river to Tianshui County.
Link bought an upper-class ticket and stayed alone in a suite with a master bedroom, guest bedroom, servant's room, and two bathrooms.
The suites have windows that offer views of the river and can also let in the skylight.
Sitting at his desk by the window, listening to the sound of the surging river, Link looked through the materials he had scavenged from Hu Songqi.
The harvest is there, but the quality ratio is not the tome I got from Hu Suqi.
Link didn't explore the reason, and after putting away the ancient books, bamboo slips, and secret books, he concentrated on studying the map of the secret realm of the "Valley of the Dead".
I went to Tianshui County, visited a single mother I hadn't seen for ten years, and then returned to the provincial capital to see what the situation was like at that time.
The area of the Valley of the Dead is huge.
According to the scale line on the map, Link made a rough estimate and found that it would take at least ten days and half a month to enter it and explore it clearly.
"Think long-term."
Muttering to himself, Link put away the map of the Valley of the Dead and looked up at the river view outside the window for a while.
After a little relaxation, Link threw himself into perfecting the "construction" system.
Inspiration comes, and it can't be stopped.
Link had already decided, and after returning to the provincial capital, he began to carry out experiments on implanting "constructs" into immortal martial artists.
As for the design of "building" individual pieces and sets, you can start now, and then adjust it according to the feedback.
The river flows eastward, and the boats compete for swimming.
Provincial capital.
Link has left, leaving behind the effects of fermentation.
In the annex courtyard.
Hu Suqi looked at Shi Dangdang, who was kneeling in front of him on one knee, holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a ring in the other, and had a complicated mood.
She was actually a little unsure whether this was Shi Dangdang's sincerity, or whether she was more affected by magic.
With Hu Suqi's attainments in ancient witchcraft, of course, it can be seen that Link did not deliberately cover up the traces of spelling.
However, spells are not omnipotent, especially those that tamper with cognition.
Shi Dangdang is not an ordinary person, but a human immortal martial arts powerhouse in the early stage of the Guiyi Realm.
If you want to tamper with Shi Dadang's cognition, with Hu Suqi's ancient witchcraft attainments, you may have to perform spells over the years and continue to superimpose them before you can succeed.
Therefore, Hu Suqi is not unsure, but he does not dare to admit it.
As long as she doesn't admit that Shi Dangdang's confession is sincere and refuses, she doesn't have to torture her heart.
opened his mouth, and the words of refusal poured into his throat, but in Shi Dangdang's sincere eyes and the sound of his increasingly disordered heartbeat, he swallowed it back.
"Your eighth junior brother is so annoying!"
was silent for a long time, and just when Shi Dang thought that this confession would be rejected, Hu Suqi opened his mouth faintly, and his tone was full of resentment.
"Huh? Eighth junior brother? Annoying? β
Shi Dangdang was very surprised and very puzzled.
What is this, I confess to you, why is it involved in the eighth junior brother?
Hu Suqi didn't let Shi Dangdang doubt for long, and immediately revealed the mystery: "Your eighth junior brother, Lin Shaoxia, believed my words on the surface, but in fact, he turned around and guided you to test me and stare at me, do you say that you are disagreeable?" β
"Eighth Senior Brother has looked for you? When? β
When Shi Dangdang heard this, he grasped the key point and hurriedly asked out loud.
Moreover, when did the eighth junior brother guide me to test and stalk?
Seeing Shi Dangdang's dazed and ignorant performance, Hu Suqi had to admit that Shi Dangdang's confession was indeed sincere.
"Alas!"
Sighing, Hu Suqi said, "Last night, not long after you left. β
Then the conversation changed to another topic, asking, "Have you ever thought about what you will face if I accept your pursuit?" What will the Eight Extremes Martial Arts Hall face? β
This question instantly diverted Shi Kangdang's attention.
Hu Suqi was relieved, and he had the intention of agreeing to his confession.
What could be better news than this?
Without!
However, what Hu Suqi said is also very worthy of attention.
After all, her identity is there, she is the second daughter of a provincial overseer, and she is also a courtesan with a wide range of connections in high society.
Shi Dangdang is the founding disciple of the Eight Extremes Martial Arts Hall who is becoming more and more powerful.
And the Eight Extremes Martial Arts Gym, ordinary people don't know, but those who have reached a certain level of identity, status, power, and wealth certainly understand that its founder is Li Shuwen, who once overwhelmed the southern rivers and lakes.
The two of them have such identities, and if they are together, it is not just a matter between two people.
No matter what the inside situation is, in the eyes of outsiders, it is a strong alliance between Hu Dujun and Baji Martial Arts Hall/Li Shuwen.
If not an earthquake, it will cause a lot of movement.
It will even panic many people and forces.
After all, Hu Dujun and Baji Martial Arts Hall/Li Shuwen have many opponents.
Did Shi Dangdang think about these things before he came?
Of course I thought about it.
The more than two hours he hesitated were not only making up his own mind, but also considering the pros and cons.
But he finally came, and he confessed.
This shows that Shi Gandang has thought very clearly, understands what he is going to do, and what impact it will have after it is done.
"I know what the consequences will be, but I don't think we can afford to take the risk."
Shi Dangdang's tone was firm, and he said categorically, "I have made a decision, and Master will never object." If you are willing to accept it, even if there is pressure on Hu Dujun's side, we can overcome it together. β
"Heh......"
Hu Suqi chuckled, "Pressure? What pressure? Who can stress me? β
"So, you agreed?"
Shi Dangdang was just a little sluggish in terms of feelings, but he was not a real person, and he couldn't hear anything outside the words.
"It's up to you to behave."
Hu Suqi put down a sentence, took the flowers and the small box from Shi Kangdang's hand, turned around and walked into the house.
As for the ring in the small box, of course, I put it on right away.
Le Deshi dared to laugh until his eyes narrowed into a slit, and people in their thirties were like children.
Lotus Heart Fang.
Hu Songqi cleaned up the mess, but had no plans to change rooms.
She sat at the dresser, her expression gloomy and her mood extremely unswerving.
Not long ago, she had stepped down as the witch master of the "Witch" organization in accordance with Link's second condition.
Even if Link was not supervising by the side, Hu Songqi did not dare to be perfunctory and delay.
The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.
As the founder, Hu Suqi can lose the "witch" organization, and his successor, Hu Songqi, of course, has no shortage of internal opponents.
The "Witch" organization quickly elected a third witch master, and under the impetus of the new witch master, it made a very complete cut with Hu Songqi.
Lotus Heart Fang has been completely abandoned by the "witch" organization.
Fortunately, Hu Songqi does have the property rights of Lianxinfang, so he did not lose his status and power, but also lost his industry and wealth.
"Valley of the Dead!"
But Hu Songqi was really unwilling.
Link, in particular, understated the threat of choking her heart and stopping it for a beat without her even noticing or reacting.
It shows that if Link really wanted to kill her, she would already be dead like the corpses that were cleaned up, and she couldn't die anymore.
This made Hu Songqi panic, and also made Hu Songqi have different ideas.
He can take his place!
As long as she can safely enter the Valley of the Dead, find the secret book printed from the legendary source of witchcraft.
Hu Songqi took a deep breath, stopped thinking, waved his hand to sweep away all the items on the dresser, spread out the blank paper, and began to draw a map of the Valley of the Dead according to his memory.
On the side, there are many more blank pieces of paper like this.
Paper, pen, and ink are all old objects that have a certain age.
After special processing, the map of the Valley of the Dead drawn became an old map.
Hu Songqi's plan is self-explanatory.
Since the plan to refine a Cave Void Realm warrior into a puppet cannot be realized, then muddy the waters and spread the map of the Valley of the Dead.
In this way, there will be many people who only see the benefits in their eyes and actively ignore the danger and go on an adventure.
As long as the Valley of the Dead is attractive enough!
"Immortality! Immortal! What old person can resist such a temptation? β
Hu Songqi remembered a secret story that could be found in the official history, and couldn't help laughing.
According to legend, there is a peach tree in the Valley of the Dead that bears fruit once in a thousand years.
As long as you can eat a peach from this peach tree, you can live for 300 years.
If you eat three, you can live for a thousand years.
In history, there was a man who lived for 400 years.
According to legend, this peak martial artist of the Cave Void Realm, who was only one opportunity away from the fifth realm "Seeing God" in the legend of the Human Immortal Martial Dao, once luckily came out of the Valley of the Dead.
Did this peak martial artist of the Cave Void Realm eat peaches, and did it have anything to do with peaches after living for four hundred years.
No one can give an absolute answer.
However, the history books recorded very clearly the cause of death of this peak martial artist of the Cave Void Realm.
Die under the siege of six Cave Void Realm warriors who don't have much to live, instead of dying out naturally!
If it weren't for this, would a man have lived for a thousand years?
Hu Songqi wrote this secret story on the back of the paper on which the map was drawn, and gave a bibliography intimately.
Anyway, it's a fact, and I'm not afraid of being checked.
"Ho Ho Ho ......"
After doing all this, Hu Songqi laughed a little maniacally.
She did this to muddy the waters and increase her chances of finding the secret of witchcraft in the Valley of the Dead.
There is also a certain amount of thought, which is to disrupt Link's layout.
"Don't you want to enter the Valley of the Dead? Now it's up to you what to do! β
Two days later.
Link's boat arrived at his destination, the county seat of Tianshui County.
Before he got off the ship, Link saw a lot of people dressed as warriors gathered on the dock, densely packed, rushing towards the ship.
"What's going on?"
Among the passengers who were also about to disembark, someone immediately asked loudly.
"Crazy! It's all crazy! β
As soon as he found that the dock was blocked and it was difficult for passengers to get off the ship smoothly, the anxious captain contacted the dock management to inquire about the situation.
When he learned of the situation, the captain immediately ran to the deck and shouted loudly.
"What's crazy? Who's crazy? β
The passenger, who immediately had good things, asked loudly.
"Valley of the Dead! Valley of the Dead! Valley of the Dead! cough cough cough ......"
The captain shouted three times in a row, until he was angry, but he didn't say why.
The passengers who wanted to eat melons were so anxious that they wanted to strangle the captain one by one.
When Link heard the words "Valley of the Dead", his mind turned and he thought of a possibility.
In the information given to him by Hu Songqi, it is recorded that the Valley of the Dead can be called the most special place.
"It's kind of interesting."
Muttering to himself, Link's mind moved, and he silently flashed to the dock without the entire deck passengers noticing.
From the hands of a warrior dressed as a typical mechanical martial arts, a piece of inferior copy paper was taken without any fireworks, and Link looked at it as he walked, confirming his guess.
Sure enough, Hu Songqi, who was unwilling to go on like this, was making trouble.
And what he did was very unexpected for Link.
It was not against Hu Suqi, nor at the Baji Martial Arts Gym, nor at the "Witch Spirit" organization, but against him.
Use longevity peaches to attract the attention of the whole world and muddy the water.
I have to say that the effect of this trick is really good.
"We'll see."
With a wave of his hand, handing the copy paper back to the bewildered mechanical martial arts warrior, Link walked out of the crowd on the dock and walked towards the county seat of Tianshui County.
Leaving a copy of the map that disappeared inexplicably and was inexplicably recovered, to the young warrior who was so frightened that his soul was about to fly.
"Mom!"
The young warrior screamed, as if he was being burned in his hands, threw away the copy map in his hand at the speed of light, and struggled to pull through the crowd and squeeze out of the dock.
The world is terrible!
Before I even went to the Valley of the Dead, this happened.
If you really want to enter the Valley of the Dead, don't you die and don't know how to die?
Link, who saved someone's life and didn't care much, had already arrived at the booked hotel at a seemingly normal, but actually extremely fast speed.
This hotel is the tallest building in Cheonsu-gun, with 22 floors.
In the room that Link set, you can see the huge mansion of the Jiang clan in Tianshui County from a distance.
Of course, the distance between the two is very long, more than 2,000 meters.
But with Link's eyesight after blessing the secret method, he can completely break through the defensive measures of the Jiang Mansion and get a glimpse of some movements inside.
Standing in front of the window, looking at the Jiang mansion from afar, Link couldn't help but think of that naΓ―ve, naΓ―ve single mother.
I haven't seen you in ten years, how are you doing? (End of chapter)
