Compared with Xiao Tianhe's ease, Ye Linglong seemed worried all the way. She was always on the lookout for the masked woman to tear the veil the next moment. Fortunately, there were only a few "influential" thieves and mountain bandits along the way, and they were naturally beaten by the three of them. In this way, the convoy drove in the Glory Domain for several months without danger.

According to the nearest route, the original convoy was supposed to pass through Qiubao City, the capital of the Yao Gem Domain, which was the residence of the "Yao Gem Emperor". However, the masked woman deliberately drove around this flat area, and instead took the road from the difficult mountainous area to the west. For this reason, Ye Linglong was nervous for a few days, and in her mind, the remote mountain road was the most suitable place for "hands-on". It wasn't until she was safe out of the mountains that she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Day after day, the convoy is getting closer and closer to its destination, the Wenju world. Ye Linglong's wariness of the masked woman is improving little by little, and the reason is very simple: if you don't do it, you won't have a chance. Seeing her suspicious appearance, Xiao Tianhe always laughed at her for being worried, although the masked woman was powerful, she was not powerful enough to defeat the six demon clans in Meng Zhang's realm. The only thing he cared about was what was in the eight large boxes. Unfortunately, during the long journey, the masked woman never opened the box to check.

One day, Xiao Tianhe asked Ye Linglong: "Linglong, do you have a way to untie the magic circle on the box?

"Once the circle is arranged, it will either be destroyed or withdrawn by the arranger, and there is nothing I can do. Ye Linglong explained.

Xiao Tianhe thought for a while, and then asked, "After destroying the magic circle, can you make an identical one?"

Ye Linglong couldn't cry or laugh: "Why do you always want to open the box? Let me tell you, there are no two identical magic circles in the world, there are differences in the shape, size, and purity of attribute gems, and there are also differences in the techniques and habits of the people who arrange the arrays. Although it will not cause the quality of the circle to change, for a veteran of the formation, as long as he is careful, he can detect the difference between the two circles. What's more, only I can collect the array I have arranged, and I will definitely not be able to fool it when the box is finally unpacked!"

Ye Linglong said a lot of things, but Xiao Tianhe only heard the last few words. "Oh. He replied disappointedly.

"After the box was sent to the Wenju Realm, we parted ways with Miss Fang. Why do you care so much about what's in the box?"

"I have some doubts. Xiao Tianhe touched his chin, "You also said that how can really valuable things be packed in a big box and be so ostentatious?" But Miss Fang said it herself, the box is valuable. I don't think the reason for not using the magic weapon of storage is definitely not that it can't be loaded, if it is said that before the Tuogong City incident was to tempt people to be deceived, then what about after that? It is not necessarily to lure the robbers on the road, right? Therefore, in the case of not being able to figure it out, we have to think backwards, assume from the results, and then deduce the reasons backwards. ”

Ye Linglong listened freshly: "Oh? Then what did you come up with?"

Xiao Tianhe got up and looked, and the masked woman was still meditating on the wheel of the head car.

He leaned close to Ye Linglong's ear: "Now, what if she doesn't want to use the storage magic weapon, but can't use it?"

Ye Linglong was a little confused: "How do you say this?"

"Is it possible that she can't put this batch of 'goods' into the storage magic weapon at all, and can only be transported through large boxes? You know, the storage magic weapon can't be stuffed into everything, such as ......"

Ye Linglong opened her mouth wide: "Alive, alive?"

Xiao Tianhe nodded.

Ye Linglong glanced back at the big box, and shook her head again and again: "Impossible! If it's a living thing, why can't you hear the slightest movement all the way?"

"What if I'm unconscious?"

"It can't be that long in a coma!Unless it's dead, but if it's dead, it's a 'dead thing', and the corpse can be put into the storage magic weapon!"

"What if you have your limbs cut off and you can't move if you are tied up tightly?"

"That'...... That can still make a sound!"

"What if even the tongue is gouged out?"

Ye Linglong was completely speechless.

"Right? I can't move my limbs, and I can't make a sound when I cut off my tongue. Xiao Tianhe said seriously.

"You're too ruthless......"

"Why am I ruthless? It's her! Besides, do you think there is no such a miserable thing? I think that at the beginning, one of my senior brothers in the Nether Realm was tortured so much by wicked people, and even if he was rescued in the end, he had no intention of living again, alas......" Xiao Tianhe shook his head and sighed.

"I'm a passer-by, but I'm not a 'butcher', are you 'killing pigs and selling meat'?" The masked woman suddenly appeared on the roof of the car in front of her, and when the two were not paying attention, the conversation was getting louder and louder, and she heard the conversation behind.

Xiao Tianhe took the opportunity to say excitedly: "If you don't want us to doubt you, just open the box and let us see!"

"Good!"

Xiao Tianhe was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the masked woman to agree so happily.

The masked woman jumped onto their car, took the circle from the box and opened the lock, and made a "please" gesture to Xiao Tianhe.

Xiao Tianhe looked at the box, swallowed hard, gently opened the lid of the box a gap, and then suddenly opened it hard, and what greeted him was a box full of ...... Stone.

The colors and patterns of the various shapes of stones are also very different, and it is obviously not the same kind, but more like random pick-ups in the mountains.

Xiao Tianhe and Ye Linglong's eyes were not much smaller than stones, and they looked at the masked woman in surprise.

The masked woman smiled, "Are you satisfied now?"

"What are you satisfied with! Have we worked so hard all this way just to transport these things?" Xiao Tianhe felt that he had been completely teased by the masked woman.

Masked Woman

Zi closed the lid of the box: "It doesn't matter what the goods are, what matters is the trip." ”

"What do you mean?"

"We're not going to a good place. Without these eight boxes of goods, how can you go to Yuanming Island?" said the masked woman, "If there are fewer treasures, you can't go to the island, but if they are all packed with storage magic weapons, it is easy to be suspicious, how have you ever seen an ordinary low hand who can afford to use several storage magic weapons?"

Xiao Tianhe slapped his palm, and he finally understood: "I see! The real 'goods' transported on this trip are not actually these eight big boxes, but you!"

"That's right. The masked woman said.

However, new questions followed, and Ye Linglong asked curiously: "Miss Fang, who is living on Yuanming Island, why do you have to go to the island?"

"That's a long story. The masked woman narrated, "Wenju Realm was originally a remote uninhabited desert island in the sea, and was later occupied by a group of demon clans. Due to the distance from the land, and the demon clan occupying the island was relatively peaceful, Emperor Yaogui did not embarrass them. The group of demon clans lived peacefully on the island, until one day, a big ship came to the island, and many masters got off the boat, and they killed the demon clan when they saw it, without mercy. ”

"But the 'Yaozhuo' Emperor sent a demon army to encircle and suppress it?" Ye Linglong asked.

Xiao Tianhe said: "The 'Yaozhuo' Emperor shouldn't raise his army to clear a remote island, right?

"Some people's hatred for the demon clan is deep-rooted in their bones, and there is no reason. Ye Linglong retorted, "Miss Fang, you say it quickly, what happened later?"

The masked woman nodded: "Actually, what Xiao Gongzi said is right. Since the 'Yaozhuo' Emperor didn't go to embarrass those demon clans at the beginning, he naturally wouldn't go later. The masters who came by boat were a group of pirates who killed people without blinking. ”

"Pirates?" the two repeated in unison. It's a rare word. In the large and small waters of Yuyu Realm, there are indeed many wicked people who rob homes and houses like mountain bandits, but they are generally called "water thieves".

The masked woman explained: "Pirates, as the name suggests, are thieves who do not wade into internal waters and roam the seas all year round. Compared to the water thieves, they are more powerful and more terrifying. ”

"What's the difference?" Xiao Tianhe asked.

"The water thieves in the inner waters are basically taking captives, hijacking merchant ships, and occasionally robbing along the coast of the water system. Everyone knows where there is a lot of 'meat', so the various water thieves are often divided into fixed territories, so that their general range of action can be determined. In addition, the inland is controlled by the armies of the great kings and emperors, so the place where the water thieves do evil will definitely not be too far from their own village.

And robbery is not the only business of piracy. They can also make money, they can also go into business, as long as they can make money, they will do everything, resulting in a very strong secret. In addition, they sailed back and forth at sea, without a fixed foothold, or rather, their home village was the ship. The emperors were reluctant to send troops to the sea to clear the sea, and even if they were willing to send troops, the pirates would be all right to hide in the vast open sea.

Today, when there is a business, they will come as a group of merchants, but tomorrow, when there will be no business, the same people may come back and become robbers. Not only are the pirates highly skilled, but their lives as exiles have also honed their hearts to the point of cruelty, making them a group of extremely difficult villains to deal with. The masked woman spoke in great detail.

"Then why did they go to the island to massacre?" Ye Linglong asked.

"It's because they discovered that there is a special mineral deposit on the seabed near Yuanming Island. In order to occupy a place that could be used for stock, they did not hesitate to exterminate the demon clan on the island. ”

Xiao Tianhe looked the masked woman up and down suspiciously: "Could it be that you are the demon clan who escaped from the island?"

She shook her head: "There is indeed a demon clan who escaped from the island, but it is not me. I'm human, a friend of the demon clan. I promised him that I would help him avenge this extermination. ”

"So you're going to land on the island under the pretext of 'paying tribute to eight large boxes of treasures'?" Ye Linglong replied.

"It's 'selling', not 'tribute'. I'm afraid that the mines around the island have been mined for many years, and if I don't do anything, I'm afraid that the pirates will abandon the island again, and it will be too difficult to find them again. The masked woman said, "At that time, we will land on the island under the pretext of selling treasures, and give them a surprise and attack at night." I'm the main attacker, and you guys help me. Judging from her words, she planned to pull Xiao Tianhe and Ye Linglong into the revenge plan.

Xiao Tianhe frowned, he and Ye Linglong were in an embarrassing situation, if they went to Yuanming Island, the masked woman was deliberately "pretending to be a pig" and wanted to "eat tigers", but Xiao and Ye really wanted to risk their lives. Therefore, Xiao Tianhe was very reluctant: "Why do you want to take us along to avenge others? We don't have the same superb skills as you." At that time, let alone help you, even self-protection may be barely enough. ”

"Whether you can help me or not, you should know it in your heart, and I know it. The masked woman had something to say, and Xiao Tianhe was very uncomfortable listening to it.

"No matter what, you have to get to Yuanming Island first......, right? Before landing on the island, they will definitely open the box and inspect the goods!" Ye Linglong felt that the masked woman's plan would not work at all.

"'Broken stones'?" the masked woman was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Ye Linglong looked at her who was leaning forward and backward inexplicably, and then looked at Xiao Tianhe, but found that the expression on his face was extremely solemn at this time.

"This voice is ......" Xiao Tianhe felt that just when the masked woman laughed out loud just now, there was a moment as if her voice had changed. In other words, the masked woman has been deliberately hiding her true voice. Thinking that she was still masked all the time, there seemed to be only one answer.

Suddenly, Xiao Tianhe also laughed heartily, laughing louder than the masked woman, and even the masked woman was stunned by him, not knowing what evil he had fallen

。

Ye Linglong asked with concern, "Tianhe, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Tianhe pointed at the masked woman: "You, you, have been hiding from us for so long! Why didn't I find out earlier?"

The masked woman was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "You have already guessed?"

"Guess what?" Ye Linglong was still in the dark.

"She deliberately hid her true voice and face, presumably because we knew her. I guessed right, Sister Chu?" Xiao Tianhe bowed.

"'Sister Chu'? among the people I know, there doesn't seem to be a woman with the surname 'Chu'......" Ye Linglong wondered.

The masked woman cleared her throat and resumed her true voice: "We once had adventures and fought together in the Zongpiao Realm, can't you remember?"

Ye Linglong's eyes lit up, and this voice was indeed familiar: "Are you ...... Miss Fan?"

The masked woman finally uncovered the hat and mask, it was Fan Lingyun, that is, Chu Fanghua!

"Xiao Tianhe, Miss Ye, it's been a long time. Chu Fanghua smiled.

Compared with Xiao Tianhe, Ye Linglong was even more shocked. After all, she didn't know that Fan Lingyun was Chu Fanghua's business, and naturally she didn't know Chu Fanghua's true strength and identity.

"Miss Fan, why does Tianhe call you 'Sister Chu'? Also, how can you cultivate so fast?" Ye Linglong felt that she was not slow in her cultivation, and she was only at the four-elephant level. On the night of the Xia Ke Inn, although she did not witness Chu Fanghua's move, she heard Xiao Tianhe describe that her strength was at least above the gossip level. In just over ten years, from a lower-level cultivator to the gossip level, could it be that she is a god who has descended to earth?

"Why, didn't you see that 'Yaogui' Emperor when you went to the Burning Heaven Palace? As far as I know, almost all of the Emperors and Emperors have gone!" Chu Fanghua asked Xiao Tianhe.

"The situation was too chaotic at that time, and I didn't have time to ...... with Linglong Uh, explain to Miss Ye. Then I forgot about it. ”

Chu Fanghua pursed her lips and smiled: "The two of you have already made a private decision for life, right?"

Ye Linglong blushed: "Miss Fan, what are you talking about......

"Alright, don't hide it from me. When you disappeared, Xiao Tianhe took a lot of effort to find you. Speaking of which, I found out about your abduction by the Red Emperor's people first. ”

Ye Linglong glanced at Xiao Tianhe and lowered her head embarrassedly.

"Let's talk as we go. "Xiao Tian Dao. Chu Fanghua's matter, he is naturally willing to help. So the three of them sat in the head car, and Xiao Tianhe told the ins and outs in detail. When he knew that Chu Fanghua was the original "White Recruitment Emperor", Ye Linglong was so shocked that she almost fell off the carriage.

"When we were in the Yaoming Forest, we were embarrassed by a swarm of black flying squirrels that were carved into the mountains, and you deliberately pretended to do that?" Ye Linglong asked.

Chu Fanghua smiled and said, "If that weren't the case, how could our relationship be so close? If I easily wiped out the rat swarm, would you continue to be friends with me?"

Ye Linglong scratched her head: "I really can't ...... Alas, it's really 'unpredictable', who would have thought that the companion who fought together at the beginning was actually a highly respected Demon Emperor? Today I have learned too many secrets, I have to sort out my thoughts. ”

"Sister Chu, speaking of which, since you know about the Burning Heaven Palace, why don't you come to look for me? Then you can also go in and get some treasures. Xiao Tianhe couldn't figure it out.

"Do you want the real or false Chu Fanghua to fight to the death in the Burning Heaven Palace?" Chu Fanghua gave him a blank look.

"Yes. However, I still have a question, that fake Chu Fanghua doesn't look like you, Hualin Grand Monarch Shang Xingjie doesn't need to say, why don't the other emperors seem to know?" This question has been holding in Xiao Tianhe's heart for a long time, and today he can finally ask about it.

"Because I used to have a habit of covering my face. It's not that I'm afraid of anything, but I just don't want to be pointed at my face when I go to the market with my husband, 'Look, that's the Emperor of Bai Zhao!'" Chu Fanghua smiled self-deprecatingly, "Who knew that this habit would bring a lot of convenience to that usurper later, but she showed her face everywhere generously, making everyone else preconceived that 'Chu Fanghua' looked like that." ”

"I see. ”

"Straight to the point. This palindromic trip to the world Qingyu girl is not here, I have to rely on the combat power of those people. Chu Fanghua said.
