Chapter 393: Hostage
Shangguan Ru still cared about his brother after all, and as soon as he walked out of the flower forest, he asked, "My brother is doing things for you, right?"
"I hope so. Gu Shenwei stopped, his gaze stayed on Shangguan Ru's face for only a moment, and he immediately looked back at the dark woodland.
"You...... What does this mean?"
Shangguan Fei made his own decisions, and no one knew what he really thought. Gu Shenwei was telling the truth, he didn't expect Shangguan Fei to follow secretly, and he hid it very well, and he never found it.
Shangguan Ru was stunned for a while, "What are you going to do next?"
The lotus girl would never ask questions, Gu Shenwei couldn't help but think, and hesitated for a while before answering truthfully, "Set fire." β
Gu Shenwei left a number of Great Snow Mountain warriors to manage the capital, and he could gather a large number of people at any time to set fire to all directions of the flower forest at the same time, burning all the people and things inside.
Shangguan Ru's eyes widened in surprise, she had heard a lot of legends about how cruel the Dragon King was, but what she had heard with her own ears still made it difficult for her to accept, "My brother, and that child......"
"Letting Old Man Mu escape will only kill more people. β
For Gu Shenwei, this is a simple problem, with a person like Old Man Mu, he will not sincerely talk about any conditions, and the only solution is to make it disappear completely.
Shangguan Ru closed his lips tightly, and his dark eyes were like a bottomless abyss, which made the visioner dizzy, and Gu Shenwei turned his head again, just to meet the indifferent eyes of the lotus girl.
"The sacrificial boy really has the eighth chapter. "Shangguan Ru understands that it is useless to intercede, the Dragon King is not a slave, she can only persuade with Li.
Gu Shenwei tried his best to make his language appear flat, "Then he just deliberately recited the wrong version." β
Shangguan Ru's face was a little red, and he felt more and more unfamiliar with the man in front of him, "I know it's hard to believe, but ...... During my coma, I kept having the same dream, the high priest was talking, the content was important, but I couldn't hear clearly......"
This is why Shangguan Ru has to make the same request after taking the antidote and seeing everyone: "Go on." β
Gu Shenwei didn't laugh at her, Shangguan Ru was encouraged, and continued, "After sobering up, I remembered that one night, I did listen to the high priest teach the mantra, which sounded upside down like the priest boy just recited, I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, I only listened to half of it, but I have an idea now. β
This idea has been entrenched in Shangguan Ru's mind like a poisonous snake, and when she heard the priest reciting the mantra again, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "The content of the mantra is not without words, in fact, it is written in the pile of ancient books of the high priest, but it is scattered in different books, so I want to ......"
Gu Shenwei immediately understood what Shangguan Ru meant, what the priest recited was not the original text of the eighth chapter, but a set of passwords, according to the password, the real original text could be found in the ancient books.
Shangguan Ru's guess seemed to have some truth, and it seemed that the high priest and the priest himself did not know this secret.
Although Indra incense is half-dazed and anesthetic, it can also limit the mind's mind to a very narrow range, and Shangguan Ru has been listening to the high priest reciting that half of the mantra repeatedly for nearly a month before finally discovering the pattern.
However, she had only read a small part of the high priest's ancient books, and it was difficult to guess whether they were accurate or not.
Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl glanced at each other, and Shangguan Ru said eagerly: "I know, this is just a dream, but if you guess correctly, as long as you have that set of formulas, you can find the eighth chapter from the book." β
In order to have the eighth chapter, I have to give up the opportunity to kill Old Man Mu now, Gu Shenwei weighed it for a while, and shook his head, "Even if there is really an eighth chapter, I have to set it on fire, Old Man Mu's threat is too great to let him live anymore." β
Shangguan Ru knew very well in his heart that what he was going to do was stupid, but he had to do it, "Give me a little time, and I will hand over the old man Mu and the sacrificial boy to you." β
Gu Shenwei didn't answer immediately, Shangguan Ru almost had a pleading tone, "Trust me once, this may be the only chance to get Chapter 8." β
Another copy of the eighth chapter of the "Book of No Dao" only exists in the mind of King Dubu, and no one can take it away.
"Okay. Gu Shenwei looked up at the starry sky, it was almost midnight, "I'll set fire to it as soon as it's dawn, you ...... Remember to come out in time. β
Shangguan Ru nodded happily.
The Dutch girl, who had been silent, said, "I'll go in with you." β
"No, you stay, I can do it alone. Shangguan Ru didn't explain her plan, afraid that the Dragon King would say that she was naΓ―ve and ridiculous.
Shangguan Ru returned to the flower forest, and the lotus girl looked at the dragon king, waiting for his order.
"Gather the garrison of the city and prepare to burn the forest. β
The last Flower Soul Forest in the Land of Incense Accumulation could not escape the catastrophe of the fire, and the old man Mu inside didn't know anything about it, and was still interrogating Shangguan Fei, wanting to know his true purpose.
Shangguan Fei summoned up great courage to dare to come here, but every word and every look of the old man made him afraid, so he knelt down again and swore to the sky, "Shangguan Fei has no disagreement with Master and Grandpa, if there is the slightest intention to kill, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." β
Old man Mu himself made treachery commonplace, so he still didn't take other people's oaths seriously, and he was still half-convinced, Shangguan Fei hurriedly added: "The apprentice is not in a hurry to seize the country of incense, the master and grandfather can start slowly and test the apprentice's loyalty." β
"Get up. For the sake of the face of the Seven Chapters of Daoless Divine Skill, Old Man Mu reluctantly accepted Shangguan Fei's words, "What's so good about this tattered country, you have to want it?"
Shangguan Fei's eyes lit up, in his eyes, the country of incense was simply a dream and a model, full of advantages, "Isolated from the world, the folk customs are simple, there is no fighting, everyone is happy to know their fate, and they can rule without spending too much effort, I only hope that the impact of the Great Snow Mountain can be cleared as soon as possible." β
Old man Mu raised his right index finger, ordered Shangguan Fei to silence, smiled, and whispered: "I knew that the Dragon King was playing tricks, pretending to leave, and came back secretly, hehe." He suddenly raised his voice and shouted in a seven-turn demon voice: "Are you the dragon king or the rat king, sneaky, get out of here." β
There were really people coming out from behind the nearby flowers, not just one, but a dozen soldiers of the Great Snow Mountain armed with swords.
The leader of the crowd is a swordsman in his fifties who is stationed in the capital at the order of the Dragon King, and someone reported that there was a strange sound in the palace, so he brought people to check, very unfortunately, the group entered the Flower Soul Forest from another direction, and did not meet the Dragon King.
The old swordsman recognized Old Man Mu and knew that he had killed many of the Great Snow Mountain brothers, so he raised his heavy sword with both hands and said in a deep voice: "Old devil, prepare to die." β
"Old devil, I'm an old man of wood, even if you think I'm old, you should be called old wood. The dragon king sent you to lure me out of battle, and it is up to you to ......."
The swordsman was not good at verbal exchanges, roared loudly, and led the charge towards the enemy.
Behind him, five swordsmen followed closely, and the others, all slave soldiers, followed after a while.
Old Man Mu was stunned for a moment, and two words came out of his mouth, "Fool." But he did not make any move, until the soldiers were within twenty paces, and he raised his right foot and gave him a gentle kick in the back of the child's head.
The next scene made Shangguan Fei unforgettable for the rest of his life.
On the ground, among the flowers, and in the air, there was a sudden sharp swishing sound at the same time, and countless invisible hidden weapons broke through the air, and more than a dozen attackers seemed to be choked by the throat of invisible ghosts, and at the same time swooped forward, like a human-shaped water bottle, and the moment they fell to the ground, they fell to pieces and splashed out of a waterfall-like blood curtain.
Old Man Mu was proud, his body suddenly became short, the sacrificial boy under his feet couldn't bear this bloody scene, and fainted, even Shangguan Fei was so frightened that his face turned pale and his legs and feet were weak.
Old man Mu kicked the priest boy, "Coward, you can't even be a pack animal." β
"Master, Grandpa...... Miraculous powers. Shangguan Fei felt that he had an obligation to brag two sentences, but his voice trembled so much that he could only say a few words.
"Of course. Old man Mu didn't mind, "Destroying the world and destroying the earth, is the name called in vain?" Cloth this array, you have to choose good hair with oil black and shiny, the longer the better, the sharper the steel sheet, the smaller the better, and then carefully arrange, cleverly set up a mechanism, even if the gods break in, there is still no return, but it is a pity to waste on these stupid people, the dragon king is really ruthless, and even sent his subordinates to send his men to death to break the formation, but if he thinks that the old man has this ability, it is ....... β
"He didn't send anyone. An angry voice said in the distance.
"Hey, the good girl is back, where is the dragon king, where are the lotus girls?"
"I'm alone. Shangguan Ru took a few steps closer, glanced at the flesh and blood all over the ground, and immediately turned his head, his face pale, "You have to kill so many people?"
"I'm still too young. Old man Mu put his hands behind his back, and while talking, he checked the mechanism that only he knew, "There are too many people in the world, no matter how you kill, you Jinpeng Castle doesn't have a sentence, 'Six reincarnations, kill inexhaustible', only kill a dozen people today, and more than 20 people will be born tomorrow, tsk, there is a long way to go, the burden on the old man's shoulders is very heavy." β
Shangguan Ru knew that if she continued to talk about it, it would only lead to more fallacies, she was already one step too late, and she couldn't save those brave and reckless warriors, but she still had time to save the two people around Old Man Mu, "I have someone to propose." β
Old Man Mu looked at Shangguan Ru in surprise, and then laughed loudly, "Good girl also knows how to negotiate? β
"I didn't lie to you, and I didn't want to lie to you, so I released the priest boy and my brother and let me be your hostage. β
Old man Mu pouted, "It's late, your brother worships me as a teacher, thinking that when he is a grandfather, he is willing to hand over the Daoless Divine Skill." Isn't it, good grandson. β
"Yes, Master, Grandpa. Sister, don't rob me. β
Shangguan Fei said sincerely, Shangguan Ru sighed softly, and then raised his voice and said: "My brother has no Dao divine skills, but does he have the Great Awakening Sword Sutra?"
Old Man Mu smiled immediately, "Do you have it?"
Shangguan Ru nodded.
