Chapter 123: Face Saint
โ...... That's about the way it is. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Coming out of the 'Luhong Tower', Mo Xiaoyi saw that it was still early, so he came to the Wuwang Mansion non-stop and found Xuanyuan Hao.
Seeing Mo Xiaoxie coming, Xuanyuan Hao was naturally overjoyed and warmly welcomed him into the mansion.
After using warm tea to get rid of the cold brought from outside, Mo Xiaoxie recounted to him what he had seen and heard in 'Lu Honglou'.
Taking out the sketchy map drawn by Shuiyun Jushi from his bosom and handing it to Xuanyuan Hao, Mo Xiaoxie finally let go of his worries and looked around at the environment in the Martial King's Mansion.
As far as the eye can see, from the large porcelain vase used for decoration to the small inkstone used for grinding ink, there is no one that is not a Hebi Sui bead.
In comparison, the 'Mo Mansion', which was moved to the empty after being handed over to himself, is a little shabby.
However, in addition to the 'Yan Mansion' where I lived for a while, it can be regarded as my first home.
I don't know if Allure is still sulking alone at home, now that their husband and wife relationship has been confirmed and irretrievable, then, let's try to be nice to her.
After coming out for a long time, I think it's time for her to start thinking nonsense again.
Thinking of this, Mo Xiaoxie's heart flowed with a fire, and he was no longer so peaceful when he sat on the chair, and his heart was like an arrow.
"His Royal Highness King Wu, if there is nothing to do, I will go back first. Mo Xiaoye Huo Ran stood up, arched his hand, and said loudly.
Xuanyuan Hao, who was thinking carefully, suddenly heard Mo Xiaoxie's words and looked at him with some surprise.
Seeing his anxious look, Yao thought that there was still a wife waiting for him at home, so he showed a smile that all men understand, and Mo Xiaoye was very uncomfortable.
It's just that the smile didn't last for a moment, and Xuanyuan Hao's eyes fell on the map in his hand again, the place where the red skull was drawn, and a touch of melancholy flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Mo, although I'm a little embarrassed to delay you coming home, I still have to make a reluctant request. Xuanyuan Hao's expression was quite sincere, and when he saw Mo Xiaoxie's puzzled eyes, he continued: "I hope you will go to the palace with me and see my father." โ
Staring at Xuanyuan Hao's serious expression that didn't seem to be fake, Mo Xiaoxie's calm face finally turned to surprise, and his mouth was wide open, enough to swallow an apple.
......
His Majesty the Emperor, the king of a country that rules the country of Penglai.
Before coming to the palace, Mo Xiaoxie had thought more than once about what such a person looked like?
Is it a natural vision, extraordinary people, or a dignified appearance, a dignified body, or a god as powerful as a prison, and a cold star......
Following Xuanyuan Hao in the majestic inner courtyard of the palace, Mo Xiaoxiao has been guessing wildly, sketching in his mind the posture that an emperor should have.
However, when he actually stood in front of His Majesty the Emperor, Xuanyuande, he realized that all his assumptions were absurd and wrong.
Because, the Emperor His Majesty standing in front of him was just an ordinary old man in the twilight with a kind smile, and there was nothing peculiar about it.
"Father, this is Mo Xiaoxiao and Brother Mo, who were rumored in the cultivation world a few months ago. Xuanyuan Hao pointed to Mo Xiaoxie who was standing beside him and introduced.
Xuanyuan squinted, looked at the young man in front of him, and nodded with a smile.
"And this is my father, the Emperor, who is now His Majesty the Emperor. โ
Instead, Xuanyuan Hao pointed at Xuanyuan De again and introduced Mo Xiaoxie.
"You...... Hello. Mo Xiaoye stared at Xuanyuan De standing in front of him in a daze, until Xuanyuan Hao quietly scolded him, then he came to his senses and said eatingly.
For Mo Xiaoxie's unreasonable behavior, Xuanyuan Hao was naturally shocked, and hurriedly turned his head to look at his father in a panic, opening his mouth to explain for him.
But who knew that Xuanyuan De was still smiling, and with a wave of his hand, he blocked the words that Xuanyuan Hao was about to say, looked at Mo Xiaoye with interest, and said: "I have heard of your name for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be so young, and you are really a hero. โ
"Your Majesty is in love, in fact, the rumors are all false names...... Mo Xiaoxie smiled modestly, waved his hand, and wanted to explain about the Blood Demon Lord, but when he thought of explaining himself, the other party might not really believe it, so he turned his head and said: "Seeing Your Majesty today is what makes me frightened and inexplicable, you seem to be slightly different from what I imagined." โ
Although they had only just met, Xuanyuan De had a strong affection for Mo Xiaoxie, smiled and asked, "Oh? Then tell me, what should I look like in your imagination, and what do I look like in your eyes now?"
Mo Xiaoxie, who didn't squint, didn't see Xuanyuan Hao, who was anxiously gesturing to him and asking him not to talk nonsense, scratched his head, and continued: "How can I say it? The emperor should be a majestic, tall, and strict image in my heart, but now it seems that you give me the same kind and kind as the old man next door." โ
Xuanyuan Hao heard Mo Xiaoxie's remarks, his eyes darkened, and he said in his heart: It's over.
In the face of his bluntness, Xuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and then burst into earth-shattering laughter, which shook the roof.
"Haha, ordinary old man. The laughter gradually subsided, Xuanyuan De smacked his lips, and repeated with some emotion, "Mo Xiaoxie, what you said is the only sincere sentence I have heard in recent years, I am very happy." It's not like some people who even say outrageous words like 'longevity without borders'. โ
Seeing that his father was not angry because of Mo Xiaoxie's reckless words, Xuanyuan Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he heard his father mention the word 'longevity without borders', his nerves tightened again, and when he felt the playful eyes from his father, Xuanyuan Hao smiled, lowered his head, and said no more.
"Okay, let's talk about it, what did you bring him here to see me today?" After the joke, Xuanyuan De returned to his extraordinary expression, glanced at Xuanyuan Hao, who was silent, and asked.
When it came to business, Xuanyuan Hao also lost his restraint of being a suitable talent, stepped forward, owed a debt, and replied: "Father, that's the case, today I specially asked Brother Mo to go to 'Luhonglou' to inquire about the whereabouts of the 'Wraith Grass', and it turned out that there is only one place on the mainland that may still have the whereabouts of the 'Wraith Grass'. โ
Hearing the name 'Lu Honglou', Xuanyuan De's eyes crossed a strange look, and he was immediately hidden, after hearing that Xuanyuan Hao already knew the whereabouts of the 'Wraith Grass', he asked curiously: "Oh, where is the place you said?"
"This is it. Seeing that his father's interest was aroused, Xuanyuan Hao quickly took out the map cloth paper from his arms, spread it in front of his father, pointed to the only conspicuous place in the map, and said in a deep voice: "It is said to be a place called 'Ghost Domain'. โ
Penglai is a vast country, and for Xuanyuande, who has been reviewing concerts from all over the country all year round, he knows almost every place.
As for the place of 'Ghost Domain', Xuanyuan De has also been in contact with its music.
It is said that the 'ghost domain' is perennially full of yin and clouds, and there is no daylight, and occasionally people strayed into it and did not come out.
In the beginning, the 'Ghost Domain' only had a small land, looking at the size of the village, however, every full moon night, when the Yin Qi was at its peak, the Yin Qi in the 'Ghost Domain' would produce a riot, and it would not end until the moon disappeared in the early morning, and the area of the 'Ghost Domain' would gradually increase with the Yin Qi riot.
Nowadays, the 'Ghost Domain' is larger than the area of a first-class town, and the surrounding people know that it is terrible, so they have all moved to a distance of 100 miles, but fortunately, no large number of people have died.
Frowning his brows, staring at the shocking red markings on the map, Xuanyuan De took a deep breath and said sharply: "Don't mention this matter again, the 'Ghost Domain' is dangerous and treacherous, I won't allow you to go." โ
"But if you want to know anything about tokens, I know a few things. โ
"Well, what about its owner? Why didn't he come to me personally? Shui Yun Jushi shook the token in his hand and asked with a deep brow.
"Do you mean Xuanyuan Hao, or is it his Uncle Shaking Light?" As for who this token was given to, Mo Xiaoyi had no way of knowing, so he could only guess.
"Second Prince, Shake the Light?" Every time he heard Mo Xiaoxiao say a person's name, Shui Yun would shake his head.
Apparently he had the impression that the token was not in the hands of these two.
"Aren't they?" Mo Xiaoye was also slightly stunned when he saw him denying it, and thought: Who would it be if it wasn't the two of them? Xuanyuan Hao obviously told himself that it was given to him by his senior uncle, and it didn't pass through the hands of anyone else in between.
"Of course not. Shui Yun Jushi nodded his head with great determination, and said in a deep voice: "Back then, I used this token to exchange for the power to open this 'Luhong Building' in Penglai City, and no one knows the value of this token better than himself, so he will definitely not give it to others." โ
"The person you are talking about refers to the current Emperor's Majesty?" Mo Xiaoye asked tentatively.
In his mind, the only person who could give the people permanent land use rights was the emperor who was the supreme ruler of the country, and everyone else had to get the emperor's permission even if they wanted to.
I thought that I must have answered correctly this time, but who knew that Shui Yun Jushi still shook his head after hearing this, and said: "The situation back then was not as stable as it is now, in addition to the reign of the previous emperor, there were also two princes who dominated the power, and the exchange with me was the second prince of the year, and now His Majesty's younger brother - Xuanyuan Cai." โ
After recalling carefully, Mo Xiaoye found that he had never heard of this name, even when he was chatting with Jiang Shengjiang's eldest brother in the teahouse that day, he did not mention that His Majesty the current emperor also had a younger brother in the world, so his younger brother should have passed away a long time ago.
"Then how could this token appear on the body of the Daoist of Shaking Light and be handed over to His Royal Highness the Martial King?" Mo Xiaoxie couldn't figure out the reason, looked at Shui Yun Jushi suspiciously, and asked.
Shuiyun Jushi poured hot water into the teapot, refilled it, covered the lid, and a touch of wisdom flashed in his eyes, as if he understood the mystery, and said: "This is actually not difficult to guess, Xuanyuan Cai must have been arrested by His Majesty the Emperor, this token is estimated to have been found from Xuanyuan Cai's body, in order to make His Royal Highness King Wu win the inheritance of the throne, His Majesty the Emperor could not blatantly provide him with assistance, so Xuanyuan De had to hand over this token to him through the hands of His Royal Highness King Wu's master." โ
Acknowledging his reasonable speculation, Mo Xiaoxiao nodded clearly, and then thought of something very important, so he asked: "Since as you said, the holder of this token has changed, then I don't know if what you said at the time can help the holder of the token to do something." โ
"Of course it counts. Shui Yun Jushi smiled softly, poured the brewed tea into his teacup leisurely, picked up the teacup, put it under his nose and sniffed the fragrance of the tea leaves, and said, "But what you ask for must be within my ability." โ
"If you ask me to take the throne to you, or let me hand over the head of the demon lord to you, then I can't do anything, I am not a god after all, and my ability is limited. Shui Yun Jushi shrugged his shoulders, looking like this.
That's good, as long as you can keep your promises, not afraid that you can't do it, just afraid that you're not keeping your promises, then it's bad.
Thinking of this, Mo Xiaoxie calmly looked at him who was sipping tea with relish, and said righteously: "Okay, then I'll bring it up first, I hope you can help me find a 'Wraith Grass', this matter shouldn't be too difficult." โ
"Poofโ"
With a cup of tea, Shui Yun Jushi had just taken a sip and swiped it between his lips and teeth, and was squinting his eyes to experience its soft taste, when he suddenly heard Mo Xiaoxie's request, he immediately squirted out a mouthful of tea, and sprinkled dazzling splashes on the dry ground.
"What did you just say?" Shui Yun's voice was a little out of tune, and he asked in surprise as he placed the teacup stained with tea on the outer wall on the table.
"I said, I want to ask you to help find a 'Wraith Grass', what's wrong?" Mo Xiaoye looked at the Shui Yun Monk whose face turned ugly, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"You're talking about one of the things I can't do. Even after drinking an unknown number of cups of tea before, Shui Yun Jushi still felt a little dry in his throat, and said in a jerky voice.
"How can it be? It's just an herb, how can you have no choice?" Mo Xiaoxie looked at him in disbelief, his eyes full of suspicion.
The meaning is self-evident, it's nothing more than whether you are tricking me, you can do it but you want to say that you can't do it, or you are simply talking big, in fact, you can't do anything......
"Do you know what the 'Wraith Grass' is?" Being suspicious, especially by a young man, made Shui Yun Jushi very angry, wiped the corners of his mouth, wiped the water stains, and then looked at Mo Xiaoyi and asked.
Scratching his hair, Mo Xiaoxiao didn't remember that Xuanyuan Hao had told him what the 'Wraith Grass' was before he came, so he said in a weak voice uncertainly: "Isn't it a herb?" (To be continued.) )
