Chapter 44: Ask Something
Time passed quietly in the silence of the two, and the sky soon darkened.
"It's almost getting dark, so let's get out of here at once. Lin Yan looked out the window with both eyes, saw that the sky was dark, and then said to Qiu Yushan on the side.
"Good. Qiu Yushan was worried about Jun Ao's safety, and after hearing Lin Yan's words, she naturally would not object.
"Then we can go. Lin Yan immediately got up, pushed open the door and left.
Qiu Yushan also got up immediately and left behind Lin Yan......
Just when Lin Yan and Qiu Yushan left their residence, they were located in the palace in the center of the ghost capital.
An old man with gray hair stood at the railing of a pavilion, his eyes narrowed slightly towards the distance.
Suddenly, the old man's eyes opened and he shouted, "It's coming." ”
As soon as the old man's words fell, he could see a small gray bird, which was only several times the size of a bee, flying towards him at a very fast speed.
This bird is a species of bird called hummingbird in the borderlands, which is small in size, can fly thousands of miles a day, and has a strong ability to recognize and hide, so it is often used to transmit messages.
The old man stretched out his withered right hand, and the gray hummingbird landed straight on his outstretched palm, chirping.
The old man lowered his head, and immediately saw a small roll of paper tied to the soles of the hummingbird's feet.
After the old man took off the roll of paper, he took out something and fed it to the hummingbird. The hummingbird quickly ate it, then flapped its wings and quickly disappeared into the night.
The old man slowly spread out the small piece of paper and quickly memorized the contents on it.
When the old man finished reading the contents of the paper, a sneering smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and only one sentence was left in the paper, ten days later, the demons attacked Wei.
"It seems that it is time for me to meet Wang Tian so that he can be at ease. The old man shook his right hand, and the paper turned into wisps of ash in the palm of his hand.
Then the old man went down the attic, and soon came to a courtyard.
"Elder Wang is here?" the old man shouted as he stood in the courtyard.
"Who?" as the old man's words shouted, a slightly weak voice sounded in a room in the courtyard.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man with a slightly pale face pushed open the door and looked into the courtyard.
"Elder Wang, what do you look like?" The old man saw that Wang Du's face was slightly pale, and he naturally understood that he was afraid that he would be punished by Wang Tian, but he still asked out loud.
"Why do you want to ask knowingly?"
Wang Du shook his head, and didn't want to say more on this topic, so he immediately asked out loud: "I don't know what you came to Wang to do?"
"It's not a big deal, but I just want you to give Wang Laozu a word for me. The old man said with empty eyes and a normal face.
"Oh?" Wang Du raised his eyebrows, and said with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, "I don't know what to say?"
"Ten days later, the demons will attack Wei! Wang Laozu will be very happy to hear this. ”
Wang Du's eyes narrowed suddenly, and a look of surprise flashed on his face, why was the other party sure that the ancestor would be very happy when he heard this. However, he returned to normal in an instant, and said with a smile: "If you are a famous old man, Wang must bring it to the ancestor." ”
The old man saw the appearance of Wang Du in his eyes, and then said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Then the old man will leave first." ”
The old man didn't mean to stay, and immediately turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
"He actually said that the ancestor would be happy when he heard this, what kind of calculation did he have?" Wang Du really couldn't figure out the other party's intentions, but since the other party asked him to bring words, then he just did it.
Wang Du then closed the door, left the courtyard, and walked towards the place where Wang Tian lived.
Wang Du soon came to the outside of Wang Tian's residence, stood outside the stone gate, and respectfully shouted inside: "Ancestor, the king has a report. ”
"What's the matter?" After a while, an old voice came from inside the stone door.
"The old man with the name asked me to bring you a message?"
"Oh, what's that?"
"Ten days later, the demons attacked Wei. ”
As Wang Du said this, the inside suddenly became quiet, and no sound came out of the half-sound.
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter from inside, followed by a sentence: "Wonderful, wonderful!"
Wang Du's eyes showed a look of surprise, and sure enough, as the old man said, the ancestor would be so happy when he heard this.
"Ancestor, why are you so happy because of such a sentence?" Wang Du asked the doubts in his heart.
"Wang Du, can't you see the message behind this sentence?"
"The king is ignorant, and he still hopes that the ancestor will solve his doubts. ”
Wang Du had empty eyes, thinking in his heart that this ghost was located at the junction of Song and Wei, and even if the demons attacked Wei, the war would not be able to affect here for a while.
"The demons attack Wei, do you think the Mingyang Sect and the Chiyang Sect will sit idly by. As the so-called survival and death tooth cold, if the Xuanlei Sect is attacked again, then how far do you think the Mingyang Sect and the Chiyang Sect are from the time when the sect is destroyed?"
"What the ancestor means is that this time the demons attack Wei, the Xuanlei Sect will definitely take care of itself, and the Mingyang Sect and the Chiyang Sect will naturally focus on that group of demon beasts, and they will have no time to take care of anything else. Wang Du's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he finally understood why the old man would say that the ancestor would be very happy when he heard this.
"Looks like you get the idea...... Well, if nothing else, you go down first. ”
However, Wang Du did not leave immediately, but showed a hesitant look on his face, as if he still had something to say.
Although there was a stone door apart, Wang Tian inside seemed to see Wang Du's expression with his own eyes, and asked out loud: "If there is anything else you want to say, just say it." ”
"Yes. Wang Du hurriedly responded, and then said: "Although that person kept saying that he was helping the ancestor break the shackles of Jindan and condense the form of a primordial baby, I always felt that this person had another purpose, and I am afraid it was not as simple as he said." Ancestor, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable!"
Alas!
A sigh from Wang Tian came from inside the stone gate, obviously he knew who the person from the royal capital was, and then a voice came: "Wang Du, do you know how many years the ancestor has survived?"
"More than 800 years old. ”
"Where can I know how long Brother Jindan lives?"
"Those who have condensed the golden pill at the beginning will have a lifespan of five hundred, and after that, they will enjoy fifty for each step. ”
"You're right. The longest life expectancy of Jindan is more than 700 years. And Benzu has lived a hundred years longer than normal, but this is almost to the limit. Wang Tian's voice paused for a moment, and then sounded again: "Now there is an opportunity for this ancestor to live for more than three hundred years, how can he easily miss it." ”
"Understood, Ancestor. "The king knows that the ancestor has made up his mind, and now that he has come to this point, there is naturally no turning back.
"Alright, you go down first...... As for that person, you should pay more attention to him, after all, there is still a place for him to be used at the moment. ”
"Yes!"
............
"By the way, I forgot something?" The two of them, who had been quietly moving forward, suddenly spoke.
Qiu Yushan on the side frowned, and her eyes subconsciously looked at Lin Yan and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Do you remember what I asked you to do in the Heishui River that day?" replied Lin Yan.
"You mean...... Help you kill Gu Yuan?" Qiu Yushan said with a relaxed brow.
"Yes. ”
"Don't worry, after we returned to the sect, we found an opportunity to complete the things you explained. Qiu Yushan said.
Lin Yan nodded slightly, his heart couldn't help but relax, and said secretly, Gu Xiaozi, although I didn't kill that Gu Yuan with my own hands, but the other party's death is also your last wish.
"Thank you so much, you can rest assured, I will also try my best to help Jun Ao in this matter. After Lin Yan said this, he closed his mouth and stopped talking. The two fell into the silence again.
Soon, the two came to a street.
Qiu Yushan, who was walking half a step in front of Lin Yan, suddenly stopped, looked at a house in front of her, and said in a low voice: "That is the stronghold of the Mingyang Sect in the ghost capital." ”
Lin Yan didn't speak, just nodded.
The two immediately walked towards the house.
Coming to the door, Lin Yan motioned for Qiu Yushan to knock on the door. Qiu Yushan suddenly understood, walked to the door, and began to knock on the door.
Knock knock!
The dull knock on the door was loud in the silence of the street.
After a while, a middle-spirited man's voice in the room: "Who, this big night, don't stay in your own room to sleep, come to knock on Lao Tzu's door, is it pure to find a smoke!"
"yes, what the hell do I want to see what this person who is going to smoke me looks like?" Lin Yan said immediately.
Bang!
The door in front of Lin Yan suddenly opened, and then in the faint moonlight, he saw a burly man with a slightly dark face and an angry expression leaning out half of his body.
The man's gaze swept over Lin Yan viciously, but when his gaze suddenly swept to Qiu Yushan, the vicious expression on his face suddenly froze, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes.
Lin Yan and Qiu Yushan both saw the panic in the man's eyes. A sneer appeared at the corner of Lin Yan's mouth, and as for Qiu Yushan, a murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
"It turned out that the envoy from the sect came, Zhang Hukou did not choose to speak, and he hoped that the envoy would not be strange. The man hurriedly walked out and saluted Qiu Yushan.
"Are you planning to let the two of us stand outside all the time?" Qiu Yushan asked after glancing at the man who called himself Zhang Hu.
"Don't dare, don't dare...... Two people inside please. Zhang Hu looked stunned, and hurriedly shouted in his mouth, and at the same time got out of the way.
Qiu Yushan didn't look at him, and walked straight past him into the room. And Lin Yan also walked in.
When the two entered the room, Zhang Hu immediately closed the door and followed.
At this time, a middle-aged man of medium stature and narrow eyes was walking down the stairs from the second floor.
When this person saw the face of the woman who came in, the pupils in his eyes shrank, how could she come here?
"It's so late at night, the envoy doesn't stay in the inn, what are you doing here?" this person called Qiu Yushan as the envoy, but his tone was not polite.
Qiu Yushan's eyes narrowed, this person didn't talk to herself like this before.
"I've come to ask you something. Without waiting for Qiu Yushan to answer, Lin Yan on the side spoke first.
The man's face suddenly sank, and he looked at Lin Yan with an unkind gaze: "Who are you?"
