Chapter 42: The Secret of the Guard, the Strange North
General's Palace.
"What did you take?!" Wei Qingcheng exclaimed, and hurriedly went over to grab Tu Shan Xianshu.
"I don't have it, it's just this golden book,......" she picked up the book, her face at a loss, "You still have a secret room in this study or what?
Originally, he was very nervous, but because of Tu Shanxian's words, he actually wanted to laugh a little, and the bookshelves gradually separated from each other, Wei Qingcheng chuckled, and said in her ear, "The woman I hide in this room has never been you." ”
Tu Shan Xianshu also looked at him, but he didn't have too much expression.
"It's not a secret room, but it's something very important. ”
It's like lifting the bridal skull, and the mystery behind the bookshelf gradually emerges, which is indeed not a secret room, but a hole hollowed out and embedded in the wall.
"Since you've found out, it's not impossible to show you a look. ”
Tu Shan Xianshu's eyes revealed surprise, it was a, it should be said that one was right, a half-human tall bow, it was lying in it majestically, no one could blaspheme it.
"This, this bow ......"
However, this bow, although it is large and slightly noble in the wall, is like an old man, without edge, without ambition, just quietly guarding Weiqing City, quietly spending the rest of his life here;
"This bow should be said to be my family heirloom. He explained, and Tu Shanxian Shu approached the bow and examined it carefully.
"Heirloom? is this the bow, but aren't you ......" She seemed to have been pierced in the head by something, and then she remembered that there was no family in the mansion of Weiqing City.
Wei Qingcheng seemed to understand her very well and understood what she meant, but he didn't shy away from it, and said bluntly, "Yes, my family is gone, because of the war, they all left me, and the reason why I chose to join the army is for this reason." ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up. ”
"It's okay, it's been a long time ago, this bow has been passed down in our family for many years. ”
"But this doesn't look like it's been used, you see, it's all rusted like this. ”
"Yes. He walked over and stroked his bow, "No one in our family has ever used it." ”
"And how did this become a family heirloom?"
"We have been farming for generations, and I am the only one who can control it, but in the end it is no longer useful, but it is a pity that such a good bow is almost useless in the hands of our family. ”
"But how can your family have been farming for generations, and how can you have a bow in your hand, or such a good bow? ”
Wei Qingcheng looked at Tu Shan Xianshu and smiled, "I heard that it is our ancestors, the treasure that we unintentionally obtained, when we first got it, it was full of golden light, and it all exuded a noble atmosphere, but in the hands of the ancestors, it was just a treasure, and the ancestors felt that it was a heaven-sent treasure and beneficial to the family, so it has been handed down to this day, in fact, it was in the hands of my great-grandfather, and it was like this." ”
"It's a pity, after all, you're a great general now, and you're famous in the North, and when it's time to really use it, it can only lie here quietly. ”
"But even if I like this bow very much, I may not be able to use it. ”
"Why?"
"This bow weighs a thousand pounds. ”
Tu Shanxian was taken aback, "Ah, really, isn't that equivalent to, there is no such thing at all?"
Wei Qingcheng shook his head and chuckled, "But I don't have it, at least I have you now." ”
"What?"
"It doesn't matter, alright, Miss Gong, now that you've even seen my biggest secret here, what else do I have to hide from you?" he said as he walked back to the bookshelf.
On the other hand, Tu Shanxian Shu, she didn't think the secret she had revealed by mistake was very remarkable, she walked to the side with a nonchalant face, sat down suddenly, and collapsed her face, "I didn't mean to, besides, what I want to know most now is not your secret, but ......"
"An Yue An Yue, I know, I said I would help you, and I will. ”
"Wei Qingcheng, I suddenly want to ask you a question. ”
"You say. ”
Tu Shanxian became serious and asked him very seriously, "Why are you so good to me? Is it just because you knew me before?" But why don't you say it?"
Wei Qingcheng lowered his eyes, after all, he still couldn't do anything about her. "Because of you, just you. ”
Recently, the northern country has been very lively, and Hualu's people have come wave after wave, and even the demon god and Tushan demon have come.
Under the guise of worrying about Tu Shan Xianshu, Dongfang Mo, who hurried to the north, her destination was surprisingly certain, she did not go directly to Lelong Mountain, where Tu Shan Xianshu disappeared, nor did she plan to hover in the air to find Tu Shan Xianshu's figure, but went straight to Qunhan Valley.
Here in Qunhan Valley, there are people waiting in the air early, watching the scene from a distance.
"Don't say it, it's really similar to the Broken Gut Residence. Linghu Zhao glanced at the entire Qunhan Valley from afar, and found that there were indeed some similarities between this place and the Broken Gut Residence, the architecture, format, and concealment method were very similar.
Feng Qici looked at it coldly, intending to find some strange clues in it.
"Qici, do you see anything wrong?"
"No, there's nothing unusual here, but, the only thing that's strange is ......" His gaze moved very calmly to the gate, at the gate of Qunhan Valley, a slender figure.
"What?" Ling Hu Zhao followed his gaze and saw a touch of goose yellow, which was extremely conspicuous among these An Yue disciples who came and went, "What's wrong with her?"
"She's Dongfang Mo. ”
In just five words, Ling Huzhao was extremely shocked, "Dongfang?
"Hmm. ”
"She, she, she, why is she here? When did the Broken Gut Dwelling have anything to do with this mortal organization?"
Feng Qici also shook his head, "I have never heard the master of the Dongfang Sect talk about what is the connection between their Broken Intestine Residence and this An Yue, the Broken Intestine Residence is attached to the fairy world, and there is no reason to teach each other privately without being discovered." ”
"But his daughter ......"
"This matter is getting more and more outrageous, I always feel that something is wrong, I always feel that the problem is not in the mortal world, but in the fairy world. He looked down in all directions and looked into the distance, "In this group of Han Valley, there has been a little bit of it, not enough to determine the breath of the artifact, the entire group of Han Valley, although it looks like a broken intestine dwelling, but most of it is built in imitation of the broken intestine dwelling, but the broken intestine dwelling is not a place where you can enter it, unless you know the broken intestine dwelling very well, you can imitate it and build another one." ”
"But now that their young master is here, things are not only outrageous, but even more treacherous. Ling Hu Zhao suddenly realized something, "Dongfang Mo is our disciple of Hualu, when did she come to Hualu?"
Feng Qici glanced at him coldly, "You have been out for three hundred years, when have you ever cared about Hualu? If something goes wrong in this big exam, I guarantee that you will not be able to get out of Hualu for a thousand years." ”
Ling Hu Zhao was so frightened that he was sweating on his back, and he couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth on his face, these seven words really deserve to be a golden immortal who has beaten the sick and old. "I know, I know, it's so fierce. He paused for a moment, and Feng Qici seemed to exude a cold resentment next to him, so he had to quickly change the topic in order to protect himself, "Then again, why is there also the aura of an artifact here?"
"Your words, I don't think it's all assumptions, this An Yue is really wrong, especially this group of Hangu. ”
"But Qici, how do you explain Dongfang Mo's situation here?"
"Maybe she is the only one who lives in the broken intestines, and she is suspected of having a private relationship with the mortal world. ”
Ling Hu Zhao stopped joking, and looked at the figure, "Why did I forget, the young master of the East is an expert in poison refining and has extraordinary talents, and this An Yue is a mortal poison saint organization, the two have a little to do with each other, in fact, there is no conflict, you said that if the young master of the East assisted in building the Qunhan Valley, it would not be strange." ”
"Don't worry about Dongfang Mo's affairs for the time being, the most important thing now is to find the source of the artifact aura, even if it is very weak or even impossible, you must be cautious. ”
"Okay, I'll go down and have a look. After speaking, Linghu Zhao jumped down and soon appeared outside the gate of Qunhan Valley.
As a guest, he politely called out to the children who were coming and going inside through this door, "This little brother, he is very tired from passing through here on his trek, dare to ask if he can borrow your place to rest for a while?"
The people inside didn't have any heavy vigilance, and they didn't mean to close the door and not see the guests, the younger brother was very enthusiastic to invite the well-dressed Ling Huzhao in, all this, Feng Qici couldn't help frowning in his eyes, why does it seem that something is wrong?
"Little brother, this, but An Yue?"
"Exactly, sir, I see that there are many of our busy children back and forth, this medicine transportation, preparation and preparation, the beginning of the entire Anyue, are all here. ”
"That's the case, I've admired your faction for a long time, and today I saw it as expected. He said a few polite words, and suddenly saw the only goose-yellow figure in the back room, and couldn't help squinting, "Little brother, this is an important place in Anyue, why is there no enchantment?
"Sir doesn't know, the Lord never rejects people outside the door, this is not a heavy place, there are generally many people who come here to seek medicine, solve doubts, and even apprentice, Mr. is thirsty, come here, naturally there is water to quench thirst, Mr. wait for a while, wait for me to get it. ”
"Oh, okay, then it's troublesome little brother. Ling Hu Zhao began to wander around here, there were a lot of people passing by him, it seemed that he was busy, and he didn't care at all that he was standing here, he always felt that they had seen a lot of people like Ling Hu Zhao coming here, which made Ling Hu Zhao very strange, and also made Feng Qici incomprehensible.
However, seeing Dongfang Mo in the back room, he seemed to be talking about something with the people inside, and pointed to the medicine pot that was boiling medicine from time to time, and took out a paper similar to a pharmacy in the middle to show those who looked like doctors or masters, which made Hu Zhao frown.
After a while, the little brother came out with a pot of water and a cup to quench his thirst, because he just stayed in the front yard and didn't go too deep, so he still asked intentionally or unintentionally by drinking water, "Dare to ask the little brother, the girl in there, it doesn't seem that she is from An Yue, why is she boiling medicine with them?"
The little brother didn't shy away from it, and said bluntly, "That is the young master of the East who lives in the broken intestines, who often comes to us, and it is said that he has been researching a poisonous drug, and I don't know the details." ”
Ling Hu Zhao nodded, it turned out to be like this, "It's really troublesome for you, little brother, but this, the lord of your sect can be here? ”
"The Lord has not been here for a long time, and if the Lord wants to ascend, I'm afraid where will he retreat. ”
"Ascension?"
"Exactly, the Lord is an immortal who wants to further ascend to the divine realm. ”
As soon as these words came out, Ling Hu Zhao was even more incomprehensible, and even led to a big doubt, the divine realm is not as good as before, after two wars and civil strife, it is already miserable, how can you want to fly up?
"Then dare to ask the little brother, do you know that your faction has a kind of poison that can control people's hearts, borrow a knife to kill people, and can only be stopped by death, and in the end they will forget what they have done. ”
The little brother's face quickly changed, and he frowned, "This ...... Where did you hear that, sir?"
Seeing that his reaction was wrong, and the difference was too big from that day's shopkeeper, he said, "This poison has been prevalent in the fairy world recently, and it is found to be from An Yue." ”
The little brother sighed, "It is indeed poisonous, but the lord explicitly forbids it internally, why it flows out, I don't know, the people inside Anyue know that Anyue has a strange force and power, and the lord doesn't care much, everything, I still have to ask Prime Minister Shi." ”
Ling Hu Zhao's eyes flickered a few times, then looked at Dongfang Mo inside, and bowed to the little brother, "After thanking the little brother, I will leave first." ”
The little brother bowed to him.
As soon as Ling Hu Zhao walked away, he immediately flew into the air, Feng Qici was still in place, and when he saw him coming, he said coldly, "Are you sure there is nothing strange when you see the prime minister at that time?"
"Yes, but he is only a mortal, if you want to say that he has ambitions, then follow the path of the mortal world, he should want to usurp the throne, right?" he said jokingly, but Feng Qici didn't find it funny at all, which made him a little embarrassed. "Ahem, cough, cough......" He straightened up and coughed his throat, "The young master of the East is here to ask for advice on the art of making poison, it seems that there is nothing strange." ”
"Really?" he looked down again, looking at the prescription in Dongfang Mo's hand, "But why do I think that her prescription seems to be a little familiar?"
"Can you even remember this? Okay, people can go out of Hualu Xu is allowed by the peak immortal master, so let's not care too much, otherwise how about we go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in one day?"
Feng Qici glanced at him, but he didn't refuse.
Ling Hu Zhao stretched his waist, turned around and flew away, and said, "Then don't stay here." ”
Feng Qici also wanted to leave, but the moment he turned around, he paid attention to the prescription in Dongfang Mo's hand again, and even caught a glimpse of the small god placed in the main hall of Qunhan Valley.
Then, the two of them left.
General's Palace, night.
"What about Wei Qingcheng?"
"Palace girl?" In the garden, Rong Wan was carefully tidying up the flowers and bones, she was originally in a good mood, but suddenly she heard Tu Shanxian's voice calling Wei Qingcheng's name, and she was suddenly displeased, who would dare in the entire General's Mansion?
"Steward Rong, where is Wei Qing City?"
"It's late this night, it's not good for the girl to rest in the room, what are you looking for the lord?" After speaking, she continued to move her hands, ignoring the meaning of Tu Shan Xianshu.
Seeing that she was busy, she was too embarrassed to ask more, just to make sure, "Is Wei Qingcheng in the study?"
"The lord has just left the house, and if the girl wants to find the lord, I'm afraid it will be tomorrow. ”
"Is that so?" suddenly thought of the secret he discovered today, and when he played with his eyes, he had another idea in his heart, "Then you are busy first." After speaking, he turned his head and went to Wei Qingcheng's study.
The scissors in Rong Wan's hand are even about to be wrinkled by her, isn't the lord, do you really want to keep her like this for the rest of your life?
Tu Shanxian secretly slipped into Wei Qingcheng's study, saw that there was no one around, closed the door tightly, looked around the room, crossed his hands on his hips, and finally locked his eyes on the scary bookshelf in the morning.
"Wei Qingcheng should like that bow very much, it's really a pity to rust like that, it's better to give him a surprise, it will be regarded as another thank you gift. She opened the bookshelf again with her hands and feet, and once again exposed the so-called divine bow to herself.
"Still, this thing does seem to be quite heavy. She hesitated for a moment, then simply got started, "No matter, try it." She took the thing that held it next to her, took a deep breath, and respectfully extended her hands to her bow.
Just as she tried to take the bow off with all her might, something unexpected happened, this bow was in Tu Shan Xianshu, but it was only a normal weight, which caused her to lose her center of gravity, and even fell backwards with a bow.
"Ah!!" I didn't expect that this bow was so light, and even if the whole bow was pressed on herself, she didn't feel anything at all, she was really stunned, looking at the thousand-pound thing in Wei Qingcheng's mouth on her body, it was unbelievable. "Why?"
She got up, scooped up the bow casually, compared it in her hand at random, and even tested the weight up and down, not at all like Wei Qingcheng's description, "This, this, could it be that Wei Qingcheng lied to me?"
Although it was strange, she still sorted out herself and the bow, put the bow aside, patted the rust on her hand, and contemplated, what she wanted to do was to help Wei Qingcheng restore this bow to its original appearance, so that he could use this bow to kill the enemy on the battlefield, which was also a gift to him, and then a favor.
After Tu Shan's treatment, Tu Shan Xianshu was indeed much better, and he could use some mana well, so in her opinion, it was not difficult to help Wei Qingcheng recover this bow.
However, this bow, after casting the spell by herself, sucked all the mana of Tu Shan Xianshu into it, and there was no trace of other recovery at all, "What is this?" it ...... my spiritual power" She stood up straight, intending to cast the spell again, "No, my mana should be usable." ”
And this time, not only was the spiritual power sucked again, but even after sucking it, the bow vibrated on its own, and it also emitted a blue light, which was dazzling.
"This breath ......" She covered her eyes, and the dazzling light instantly filled the room, until it rushed through the roof, and the light went straight to the sky, the entire general's mansion, there was a study here, and the light was shining!
But soon, the light disappeared, and the bow was still rusty, and it didn't change, Tu Shan disappeared and finally came to his senses, and when he approached the bow again, he didn't even dare to touch it, "Wei Qingcheng, are you really lying?"
And those who were frightened by this sky-rushing aura were not only Tu Shan Immortal Shu on the spot, Feng Qici was the same as Ling Hu Zhao in the inn, and suddenly it seemed that he had been hit by the Tianling Gai, and they all looked out of the window, and saw the fleeting blue skylight.
While drinking by the river, the god who had stayed in the north and had not yet left, felt this unusual familiar smell, the wine jug fell to the ground, his eyes were sharp, looking at the dome, and his face instantly outlined a touching and bewitching evil smile, "Good thing, this has appeared." ”
What's more, Uncle Shi, who is just a mortal, that is, Prime Minister Shi, he also noticed that something was wrong at the first time, "That direction...... General's Palace. ”
"Seven words, no, that breath ......"
"You can't rush it, and you can't jump to conclusions too early. ”
"But that direction, yes, it's General Wei's mansion, it's too strange. ”
Feng Qici's eyes have never been warm in this northern country, "That General Wei should never have anything to do with An Yue." ”
"He and Prime Minister Shi are good friends, and the people of An Yue respect him. ”
"No, it's not him, this spiritual power, how do I feel, it's ......" In his mind, Tu Shan Xianshu's face surfaced, and in his heart, there was even a glimmer of hope, "Gong Yan." ”
"What?
In the General's Mansion, no one knew that something had just happened that basically shocked the Six Realms, and in addition to these people in the north, Tu Shan also noticed that things were getting more and more wrong, and this place in the north was full of dangers.
Tu Shan Xianshu put the bow back in place, and then also sneaked out, and went back to her room as quickly as possible, Poria wanted to serve her to sleep, but she turned her away, and when she closed the door, she didn't even come back to her senses, and was so frightened by another person that she almost fainted.
The man wrapped a pair of cold hands around her from behind, rested his head on her shoulder, and said evilly, "Do you know how much I miss you these days?"
Tu Shan Xianshu's eyes slowly moved to his face, "Xiao, Xiao Luoge?"
"What did you just do in this General's Mansion?" he hugged her, without the slightest warmth, and after starting with a mindless sentence, he got straight to the point.
"I, I didn't do anything, how did you get in?!" She pushed him away violently, looking at him in a white shirt, she was still red-cheeked, how could this man have such a face?
Xiao Luoge hooked his lips and smiled evilly, approached her step by step, and approached her, "How do you think I got in? I've endured it for a long time, and I feel a little happier when I see you living in another man's house all day, can't you? Why, you still cried so aggrieved that day, hugging me and refusing to let go, and now you let me hug it, but it doesn't work?"
Tu Shan Xianshu's face turned even redder, and his eyes widened, "You stay away from me, then, that's, because, because I was wronged, I was uncontrollable, who hasn't cried? What qualifications do you have to laugh at me? What qualifications do you have to hug me?!" she shouted loudly, and even summoned all the Poria cocos outside.
"Girl, what's wrong?What's wrong?Girl?" She knocked on the door outside, looking at the shadow on the door, Tu Shanxian was shocked.
Shen Tu grabbed her little hand with his backhand, pulled her into his arms, and said softly, "You have a handsome man hidden in the house, do you know what the consequences are?"
