Chapter 167: The Head of the Serpent (Part II)
"My concern is that if something is lost, it must be recovered, and if it is found, it must tell you what is inside. The head of the snake said.
"Then you might as well tell me what it is first, and then we are choosing whether to help you?" Tang Qian understood, and then preemptively said.
The snakehead's voice was a little erratic: "I can't fully trust you. β
Tang Qian said: "I hope I don't be trusted by you. β
Some people are naturally good at chatting, such as Tang Qian.
So after a long time of contemplation, Tang Qian had already heard the sound of the strong woman kicking the stone impatiently outside the iron gate, and he finally spoke up.
"If you tell you something, you can only take it, and you owe me a favor. β
It sounds very unreasonable, because the thing belongs to the City Lord's Mansion, and now it sounds like because of Tang Qian, the thing has to be returned, but it has become Tang Qian's debt to the snakehead.
But Tang Qian knew that this was the truth here.
Tang Qian had no choice but to sigh: "If I can, I don't want to owe you anything more." β
The head of the snake immediately said, the more a person does not want to owe favors, the heavier his favors will be?
The head of the snake knows this, so he has already begun to speak.
"All I really want is a stone, and I have distributed everything but this stone to my men everywhere, and I can help you get it back, and you want to get it back. β
Stones are important?
The head of the snake was quick to speak of the importance of the stone.
"The moat is endless, and the mountains are stacked, which is the spatial state of the moat cliff, so we can see the moat and the cliff pass between the gaps and the cliff pass. β
It's a very interesting thing, just as people can never walk from the back of the moat, and there is no sudden shattered void that can never see the end of it from both sides.
The space here is magical.
Equivalent to the extra space opened up from the normal time and space, some people once deduced that this was an ancient battlefield, and there was a monk who cultivated beyond the imagination of ordinary people back then and directly used his own spells to open up the scene here.
He was a monk with a sword.
The monk's first sword slashed through the earth, the second sword hooked the void, and the third sword was already connected between Yueye Prefecture and Zhongzhou, and the subsequent teleportation arrays were all used to consolidate the overlapping and shattered space.
This monk relied on his mana to connect the two great states, how far away it was, how much space this cliff pass could contain, so there were so many connections here, from one space to another.
That's why it's here.
"Because of this, there is no end to it for a long time. The head of the snake whispered.
"What is the Boundless Stone?" neither Xia Yubing nor Du Lishan had ever heard of.
Tang Qian already understood: "It's one."
Plant a mustard seed space of stones. Tang Qian stretched out his wrist, and there was a very slender bracelet on it, with an ugly stone on it.
Tang Qian said: "If you put the space into a container, you can become this kind of small thing, it is not rare, after the monk can control the space, because the monk can take out a piece of void by himself, and then put in a random stone. β
Xia Yubing instantly thought: "It's like making a wooden box?"
"It's more complicated, but it's pretty much manual. β
The snakehead's voice continued: "The Boundless Stone appeared naturally, or after connecting the two great states with that Great Monk, it appeared naturally - and it is also very rare. β
Tang Qian groped his chin, he also knew a lot: "The space contained in the Boundless Stone is very large, more than the space that ordinary artifacts can hold. β
Some treasure gourds can hold magic weapons, but some treasure bottles can hold people, which is caused by different magic weapon materials and refining methods.
Boundless Stone can naturally break through these premises, and it is the first accommodating capacity that is undisputed.
"Naturally formed, very stable......" Tang Qian's words came to an abrupt end.
The voice of the snake head floated: "You thought of it?"
Tang Qian asked, "How big is this Boundless Stone?"
The head of the snake said, "It's the size of a baby's fist." β
Tang Qian's face became ugly, especially ugly, Xia Yubing hadn't seen Tang Qian's face become like this for a long time.
Tang Qian turned around and left: "We must find this stone." His speed of speech was a little hurried, Xia Yubing and the others rarely saw Tang Qian who spoke so quickly.
"How?"
Du Lishan also followed in confusion.
Tang Qian said loudly: "Snake head, your people will tell me everything you know, right?" β
The voice lingered around several people: "It should be like this." β
Tang Qian then explained: "The Boundless Stone is space, but there has never been such a big Boundless Stone, and some people once rumored that all the sizes of the space in the entire Yaguan combined, it is impossible to have a half-human-high Boundless Stone. β
Xia Yubing nodded, she still didn't understand why Tang Qian was in such a hurry: "That means that this Boundless Stone is very big, so what?"
Tang Qian said: "The size of the Boundless Stone has reached such an extent, if it is broken, it will cause fluctuations between spaces, just like throwing ice cubes in the water will ripple, but the effect it causes is like the overflow of a coastal townββ"
Haiyi is another name for tsunami, it is also called sea roar, sea boiling and so on-
"And after really breaking that stone, not only will it be like a sea overflowing, but it will also collapse back, and the entire cliff will shrink to the size of a mustard seedβand what will be left behind may really be a boundless stone more than half a person high. Tang Qian said the most serious consequences.
"So I understand why they used the corpse to transport it instead of having a monk steal it, and just hit it, it was so easy
Treasures that threaten anyone in the cliff pass will kill themselves first. β
Tang Qian had already walked to the door of the iron gate quickly, and saw the sturdy woman: "I want to find you for the 'things I know'." β
The woman's words were also very simple: "Go find the chief scoop handle." β
The four words "total scoop handle" seem to have magical power, what kind of person they are looking for, who can live in the underground world, naturally add "insidious", "cunning", "dangerous" and so on.
But soon Tang Qian will find out that he was wrong.
From the territory of the snakehead to the territory of the chief scoop, it is like the south and north of the city, which are obviously close, but it is difficult to go directly.
It was the sturdy woman who first showed Tang Qian the way, but the woman only walked out about ten steps before stretching out her arm full of tendons.
Pointing in one direction.
Tang Qian didn't ask out loud, just walked forward, walked into the low streets and alleys, and a little man came out of the shadows, he described it as obscene and with a rickety figure.
The dwarf said, "Now it's my turn to lead the way, and we'll find a way to let you pass, and my master is sure that it's in the hands of the chief scoop." β
His rags made one feel his filth at a glance, and he smelled of foul odor, a figure crawling in the middle of this gloomy alley.
The claw-like hand has nothing to do with his stature, it is slender and flexible, and even when he walks, it seems to have a regular slight swing.
This man is a thief, and he is good at it.
Tang Qian was very sure, and the way he was now was that he didn't want to hide himself.
If it was really when he was "going to work". This little man must be able to turn himself into a puddle of mud on the side of the street.
is inconspicuous, and no one wants to look at him more, and the money bag on that person's body and the treasure in his arms are estimated to have been taken away by this person.
"We have a road that leads straight to the chief scoop, and normally we wouldn't be so close to each other to leave the road. β
The little man seemed to know exactly what Tang Qian wanted to know, and Tang Qian couldn't help but be amazed, these seemed to have been arranged by the snake head just now.
The little man continued: "But this matter is tacitly agreed between the two families, and the other side also knows this road, but there are many people to take care of it, and the people on both sides. β
Many people know the different parts of a road, but only know where the joints are, so that the route is kept secret enough.
The dwarf had quickened his pace, and he finally said, "Ask the next person for the rest." β
Tang Qian couldn't help but say: "This method, these rules, are all come up with by yourself? Isn't there a person who knows everything in a unified way?"
Isn't this the easiest one among you to leak?
The secret path is that if someone knows the complete way to go, then it won't be
Secret, at least it's easy to go from secret to not secret.
Tang Qian didn't say this, he didn't want to say it, because he felt that the head of the snake was a fool, and in someone else's territory, Tang Qian felt that he should not casually say this kind of thing that thought their boss was a fool.
The dwarf replied naturally: "Yes, or two." β
Tang Qian didn't ask, because if he asked, it would be easy to be misunderstood to explore the secrets of the existence of these two underground worlds like emperors, Tang Qian really just wanted to recover the things in the treasure house safely.
But the little man actually said these two names himself: "The method is what the master of the snake king thinks, and the route is set by the chief scoop." β
Tang Qian suddenly felt that he was the fool.
In the cross street, the dwarf stopped his pace and stretched out a slender finger, and not far away there was another man wearing a hat.
Tang Qian looked into the distance, and he could already see the golden and brilliant hall from a distance, where the chief scoop was located, which was very tall, because he could already see it from such a distance.
The man said, "I am the chief scoop master, so if you want to ask me anything about the chief scoop boss, I will not answer." With that, he turned and left.
Only lead the way, do not speak.
