Chapter 794: Clarification
The two of them were silent all the way, and drove the beast cart to the end of the street, and then turned into an alley.
When he arrived at the mouth of the alley, Shi Chuankong stopped the beast cart and told Han Li to wait for a while, while he got out of the car and walked into a low-slung shop with a very small façade at the end of the alley.
There is no signboard on the shop, only a coarse cloth sign hanging on the lintel, on which are written the three big characters of "Xingjiaozhai", and the silhouette pattern of a walker is drawn at the bottom.
After about half a pillar of incense, Shi Chuankong walked out of the shop and got back on the beast cart.
The coachman drove the beast cart to the east of the city, and finally stopped in front of an inn called "Yunshan Circle".
The inn is built in a remote place in the east of the city, surrounded by lush forests, towering ancient trees are more dense than the attic buildings, this inn looks like a simple style, and there is really a bit of winding path and secluded artistic conception in it.
After settling the cost of renting the beast cart, Shi Chuankong pushed open a painted wooden door in the front yard of the inn and led Han Li into the courtyard.
Han Li stepped into the courtyard and felt a wave of spatial fluctuations ripple around him, and the objects in front of him suddenly changed, and they actually appeared in an open garden.
Not far away, the stream was murmuring, the covered bridge was nine curves, and a small lake with white mist steaming through it presented a small but delicate picture in front of Han Li's eyes.
"Two distinguished guests, do you want to be sharpened or stay in a hotel?" At this time, a soft woman with a face no different from that of the human race walked out of a hall on the left and asked.
"Are the two courtyards of Youhe Courtyard and Shaw Courtyard still empty?" asked Shi Chuankong.
"I'm really sorry for the two distinguished guests, this Youhe Courtyard is still empty, but the Brush Willow Courtyard is a place for adults to live for a long time, and it cannot be rented or sold. If the two of you don't mind, there is still a Qingxiao Courtyard to spare, but it is also a chic and quiet place. The woman was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then said.
"I almost forgot about it...... That's these two courtyards. When Shi Chuankong heard this, he remembered that the Willow Courtyard was his permanent residence back then, and he would not usually rent or sell it to other people, so he stroked his forehead with one hand and said with a smile.
After completing all the formalities, Shi Chuankong dismissed the guide maid arranged by the inn, and led Han Li across the small lake of the covered bridge and towards the depths of the inn.
Shi Chuankong accompanied Han Li through a sea of green bamboo forests and came to the two-story small building of Qingxiao Courtyard.
Han Li used the token given by the "Cloud Mountain Circle" inn to open the small courtyard and enter the building with Shi Chuankong.
On the first floor of the small building was a guest room, with two rooms, the inner and the outside, and Han Li and the two sat down around a round table in the inner room.
"Brother Shi, let's talk about it now. Han Li pinched the trick with one hand, his fingers rushing into the void a little, and a layer of soundproof light curtain covered the entire vicinity.
"Brother Li, this ...... I don't know where to start talking about this. Shi Chuankong was silent for a while, and then spoke.
"Let's start with the Golden Rhino King's pursuit of us, I originally thought that my movement when I broke through the realm was too big, which attracted his hostility and pursuit, but judging from what happened later, it wasn't that simple, right?" Han Li said with an unchanged expression.
"Brother Li, you guessed right, the reason why the Golden Rhino King chased us so hard was indeed me. He was instructed by my eldest brother to pursue us. Shi Chuankong sighed and said.
"Your eldest brother, who is also the eldest son of the Demon Lord, why did he kill you?" Han Li asked with a slight frown.
"This ...... I can't go into detail with you, but in short, it involves a vital inheritance of our Holy Clan, and my eldest brother should think that I may threaten his status in obtaining this inheritance, so he will join forces with the Golden Rhino to eradicate me. Shi Chuankong hesitated for a moment and said.
"One mother, but you want to kill each other?" Han Li frowned.
"Isn't it all like this for the sons of secular dynasties? Besides, the eldest brother is only the same father as me, but not the same mother. It's not the first time that something like this has happened, but it won't target me before, after all, I'm just a golden immortal, and I can't threaten his status. Shi Chuankong laughed to himself and said.
"Obviously, because something has happened, your presence has become a threat to him. Han Li said meaningfully.
Shi Chuankong heard the words, pondered for a long time, already had the answer in his heart, and said slowly:
"Most likely because I found Luo Zha Pipa this time, which can be regarded as a great achievement, and my father did not hesitate to spend huge resources to rescue me from the gray world, right?"
"I'm afraid that the latter thing accounts for a higher proportion. Han Li said with a deep groan.
"Probably...... Even if many of his children were in danger outside, his father rarely came to the rescue in person, and this incident may have made him mistakenly think that his father would be jealous of me because of his blue eyes on me. Shi Chuankong said.
"He should be the only one who thinks this way, the reason why the Black Weasel King didn't care about the trouble we caused in the city, and instead escorted us back to the city, must also want to bet on you, right?" Han Li raised his eyebrows and asked again.
"Brother Li is really clear and insightful. The Black Stoat King did have such an idea. Shi Chuankong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
"Since your eldest brother has murderous intentions towards you, then the follow-up measures must not be limited to the Golden Rhino, when we arrive in Xiongju City, why don't we just take the teleportation array and return to Yeyang City as soon as possible? When we get there, it should be safer, right? Could it be that you can't trust that Tianyue Marquis of the City Lord's Mansion?" Han Li nodded and asked.
"When I was running in the city, it wasn't the Marquis of Tianyue who was in charge of the City Lord's Mansion, he was transferred after I left. The reason why we went to Guangyuanzhai first was to verify whether this majestic city had changed. Sure enough, there is a hidden mark warning outside Guangyuan Zhai, which shows that the henchmen I left behind before have been cleansed, so the City Lord's Mansion is not trustworthy. Shi Chuankong shook his head and said.
"In that case, why don't we leave as soon as possible, and instead stay here?" Han Li's heart moved, and he asked.
"My eldest brother contacted the Weasel King and asked him to intercept us. But then the ferret chose to take a gamble and bet on me, so he would report the false news that we were still on the run in the Ten Tribulation Mountains. So the city is safe for the time being. Shi Chuankong said with a smile.
"Therefore, if you don't leave, you will stay, it seems that Brother Shi, you have reinforcements, right?" I went to the shop in the alley earlier, did I ask for help?" Han Li asked with a look that seemed to be smiling rather than smiling.
"It's to send a message to my third brother, before he sends someone, we will temporarily recuperate in this 'Cloud Mountain Circle' inn. Shi Chuankong nodded.
"This third brother of yours ......" Han Li frowned and said slowly.
"Brother Li, don't worry, he is different from my eldest brother, he was born to the same mother as me, and I also saved his life, if he can't believe it, then no one in the entire holy realm can be trusted. Shi Chuankong interrupted him and said.
"So much for the best. Han Li nodded and said.
"It was wrong for me to conceal it before, but it's really hard to say that it's just a reason, and I ask Brother Li to forgive me. Although Brother Li and I have not known each other for a long time, we have experienced hardships and dangers together, although we cannot talk about life and death, but we have also had a friendship in the same boat, and I naturally trust you. Shi Chuankong stood up, gave a solemn salute to Han Li, and said.
"Brother Shi, I won't tell you, I really don't want to get involved in your brothers' infighting, but on the way back to Yeyang City, you and I are tied to life and death, I should do my best, and I hope you don't have anything to hide. Han Li also stood up and said in a solemn tone.
"Brother Li, don't worry, I have already told the plate, and there is nothing to hide. When you arrive in Yeyang City in the future, you will definitely do what you promised you at the beginning. Shi Chuankong patted his chest and said.
After the two relieved their doubts, they chatted for a while, and then Shi Chuankong said goodbye and left.
After Han Li meditated alone for a moment, he got up and opened the prohibition in the small courtyard, and after returning to the second floor of the small building, he placed another layer of prohibition in the quiet room, and with a wave of his hand, a silver light door immediately opened.
He slowly walked into the light gate and walked into the bamboo building of the small courtyard.
On the second floor of the building, in the room where the magic light originally lived, there was a girl in red lying on the bed, which was naturally a crying soul.
Above its body, pieces of purple yang warm jade were suspended, exuding bursts of soft fluctuations.
At this time, she was calm, breathing long, and her body was shrouded in a layer of lilac light, as if she was asleep, but there was no sign of waking up.
Han Li first used some low-grade warm jade, and then he started to use medium-grade warm jade, which did have some benefits for the soul crying, but after all, it couldn't make the source power that disappeared reappear, so he still couldn't save her.
Putting aside the lower-grade warm jade, Han Li had previously obtained the medium-grade Ziyang Warm Jade, and Han Li had divided more than half of it into the stone, while he kept the only two pieces of high-grade warm jade.
But he also understands that the medicine is not right, even if it is a high-grade warm jade, it will not be able to save the soul.
"Han Daoyou, can you talk about it?" At this moment, the voice of the crab Daoist suddenly came from outside the building.
When Han Li heard this, he immediately walked down to the second floor and invited the Crab Dao people into the house, and the two of them sat down at a bamboo Eight Immortals table in the building.
When the Crab Dao Man sat down across from him, Han Li noticed that his expression was a little strange, and there was some hesitation on his face, which had been expressionless in the past.
"Fellow Crab Daoist, is something wrong?" Han Li asked.
"Recently, a name has often come to my mind, and I think it may have something to do with the legacy left by my owner. The crab man frowned and spoke.
"What's the name?" Han Li asked.
"Scaly Skyclave. The crab man replied.
"Scaly Skyclave...... What is that?" Han Li searched in his mind for a while, but he didn't have any impression of it.
I don't know, it's just that this term has been flashing in my mind a lot these days, but I don't know what it means. The crab man shook his head and said.
"Sounds like some kind of secret realm or something, but how do you know it's related to your original master?" Han Li raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, and asked again.
