0097, the Book of Thieves
The value of a thing does not depend on whether it has a specific purpose.
Even if it is not of the slightest use, what is desperately chased all over the world has no value and becomes priceless.
Lu Mingtao, just a scholar who can't guarantee three meals a day, is now worth a fortune.
Of course, it was not Lu Mingtao himself who was priceless, but the fragments of the ancient tomb he obtained.
Although those few words are not as good as the lotus flowers of the beggar gang, Prince Xiong feels that it will not be groundless.
If you don't find the value in it, it doesn't mean that you really don't have the slightest value, you can only say that you are lonely and unheard.
There's a problem with that.
More than a dozen people have died, and even if there is no problem, it has now become a big problem.
What is stricter than the big problem is that Luo Xiu, the 10,000-year-old boy, has put his life into it, what does he want to do?
When a big problem that affects a lot of lives is in front of you, and you can't find a solution, the problem becomes a problem.
Bringing out a little sister-in-law and five little girls from Miaojiazhai was already troublesome enough.
Now Lu Mingtao and the five of them are uninvited, and it is related to the issue of many people's lives.
Xiong Chu felt very troublesome right now.
Time doesn't stop because you feel troublesome, but the faster time passes when you feel troublesome.
Now the rooster has crowed three times, and the dawn is just around the corner.
Those martial arts people in Wanfu Building have chased out to the west, if they can't come up with a way before they come back, Xiong Chu feels that he is likely to fall in, but he is afraid that he will never be able to climb out.
However, the killer's instinct told him that for such a big trouble as Lu Mingtao, he must not easily trap himself in it.
The 10,000-year-old boy Luo Xiu is dead, and now it seems likely that it has something to do with it.
Luo Xiu, the 10,000-year-old boy, paid the price with his life for this trouble, so he must recover the corresponding reward. Otherwise, Xiong Chu thought that there would be no way to explain to Peng Wuying, the master of the Flying Squirrel Gate.
So the first trouble that Xiong Chu is facing now is that he doesn't know what Luo Xiu's ultimate purpose is in letting these people come to him.
In the martial arts, people are chivalrous and righteous, which is justified.
But chivalry and righteousness are also principled and targeted.
In the past hundreds of years, the Huashan faction has been the enemy of the entire martial arts because the Quanzhen Sect has defected to the Mongolian Tatars.
Luo Xiu, a 10,000-year-old boy who has been on the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, is absolutely impossible to give his life in vain for a sect like a public enemy of martial arts.
So, what does Luo Xiu, the 10,000-year-old boy, want to do?
Xiong Chu sat there and bowed his head and didn't speak, and Lu Mingtao became anxious.
In fact, it was not Lu Mingtao who was in a hurry, but the other three Taoist priests of the Huashan faction who were in a hurry.
Xiong Chu didn't speak, on the one hand, he was thinking about the next gains and losses, and on the other hand, he suddenly remembered a sentence.
This is a sentence that Chanel said not long ago when she was in Shuizhai Town.
"We drank wine for three days and stayed with my eldest sister for three days. Because there is something important to do, Brother Wenjie and I are leaving. But Brother Luo Xiu didn't leave, he said that he was afraid that he would not have the opportunity to come back to see his woman in the future, and this time he would have to stay with him for a few more days. β
There is no doubt that at that time, Luo Xiu had already realized that he was facing great trouble, and even realized that he was likely to have to pay for his life.
Sure enough, shortly thereafter, the 10,000-year-old boy Luo Xiu was killed.
Here's the problem!
A possibility suddenly came to mind in Xiong Chu's heart: "Since Luo Xiu is ready to die, it means that he thinks there is something more important than his own life." Lu Mingtao and a few Taoist priests of the Huashan Sect were definitely not Luo Xiu's targets. There is no doubt that he wants to get the tomb fragments!"
The Flying Squirrel Gate specializes in collecting the world's anecdotes, and has a unique vision for the value of anything.
Since Luo Xiu would rather die than get the tomb fragment, it means that there is definitely an ulterior secret in it.
In the end, Luo Xiu, the boy of ten thousand years, did not get the tomb fragment because he was already dead.
However, Luo Xiu, the boy of ten thousand years, thought that although he was dead, his goal had also been achieved.
The purpose is very simple: let Lu Mingtao take the initiative to deliver it to his own hands.
The 10,000-year-old boy Luo Xiu once lived and died with himself, which can be said to be a friend of life and death. Since he has worked so hard to obtain something, he has the responsibility and obligation to fulfill his last wish.
Thinking of this, Xiong Chu finally raised his head and stared at Lu Mingtao: "Mr. Lu, tell you the truth." Before you came, Luo Xiu had already been killed to cover you, and I had just buried him the day before yesterday. β
"Ahh
Lu Mingtao exclaimed, and at the same time found that the environment was wrong, and quickly reached out to cover his mouth.
Xiong Chu's face suddenly became gloomy: "Luo Xiu is my eldest brother, he actually paid the price of his life in order to protect you, now, I want to see what the ancient tomb fragment in your hand is." β
"No!" Huashan Taoist Ge Fengming suddenly roared: "The twelve of us went down the mountain to protect this thing and return to Huashan safely." Until then, no one can handle it!"
"Yes, you're right!" Xiong Chu didn't look at Ge Fengming, but turned his head to look at Lu Mingtao: "Mr. Lu, what do you think?"
"I, I-" Lu Mingtao was a little at a loss: "For this thing, I pulled my own daughter in, in order to cover us, she was a weak woman who showed up to attract the attention of others. I-I-"
Thinking of the woman in white who had stepped on stilts before, Xiong Chu's heart moved, and he had already thought of a certain possibility, and then sneered: "I have seen your daughter, and she entrusted me to take care of your safety!"
Lu Mingtao suddenly jumped up from the chair: "Balang Shaoxia, have you seen my daughter? Is it true? Is she okay?"
"She's not good, very bad!" Xiong Chu sneered and shook his head: "There have been dozens of martial arts masters chasing after her just now, do you think a little girl will be good in the face of dozens of no martial arts masters?"
Lu Mingtao completely lost his claim in an instant: "Balang Shaoxia, Balang Daxia, please show mercy and tell sΓΉ what should I do now?"
"I don't know what to do. Xiong Chu shook his head: "I haven't even figured out the real reason, can I know what to do?"
Speaking of this, Prince Xiong stretched out his hand and pointed at Ge Fengming: "Let them immediately notify the Huashan faction to make every effort to reinforce them, and it is best to rush here within two hours." Otherwise, not only your daughter, but all of you will die without corpses!"
Ge Fengming waved his hand: "This is absolutely impossible! Huashan has been here for more than eight hundred miles, and even if you fly, you can't fly." Besides, when the Huashan faction enters Tongguan, it first has to communicate with Yuanjiazhai in Xin'an County. β
"Even if Yuan Jiazhai agrees, if you want to enter Luoyang, you must also agree to Jiudao Villa and Songshan Shaolin Temple. Now, these sects are all chasing and killing Lu Jushi, how can they agree that our Huashan faction will send people over for reinforcements? Isn't that a joke?"
What Ge Fengming said, Prince Xiong naturally knew it in his heart, so he didn't answer Ge Fengming's question, because his original intention was not like this at all.
"Mr. Lu, it's up to you to make your own decisions now. Xiong Chu felt more and more that this was not simple, and there must be other interests: "As the saying goes: no profit is not early." Whether it's a person in the martial arts, or a brocade guard in the imperial court, everyone is not a fool, how can they attack them in groups without a head or a brain?"
Xiong Chu's words went straight to the core, and Ge Fengming and the three little Taoist priests immediately bowed their heads and remained silent.
Lu Mingtao sat back in his chair dejectedly, raised his head and looked at the empty roof, the expression on his face changed for a while, obviously the battle between heaven and man in his mind.
Xiong Chu was actually very nervous, because there was another trouble waiting for him, that is, to send the six women back to Wenyue Villa, and there was no time to talk about it here.
However, Xiong Chu felt a little more at ease.
It is now clear that those who are going to hunt down and kill themselves are now likely to turn their attention to Lu Mingtao. Because of this, there was a door extinction incident in Miaojiazhai, and there was no fluctuation in this vicinity.
Since everyone's attention was on Lu Mingtao, Prince Xiong thought that this was the best time for him to leave with six women.
The so-called opportunity cannot be lost, and it will never come again. Xiong Chu is anxious, just for this matter.
If it weren't for the fact that a little righteousness in his heart worked, according to the killer's style of acting, Xiong Chu would have pulled out his sword and slaughtered all the four people in front of him, and then searched and left directly.
Not only does he have to fulfill the last wish of Luo Xiu, a boy who is a boy of ten thousand years, but he can't kill people casually, so Prince Xiong feels that it is very difficult for him to do it now.
"Hachiro Shaoxia, in fact, I still have some things that I haven't said just now. β
After about a quarter of an hour of silence, Lu Mingtao finally spoke with difficulty again: "After I accidentally revealed the contents of the ancient tomb fragment in the restaurant, there were rumors about the birth of the "Book of Thieves" near Xuchang. β
"The Book of Thieves?" Prince Xiong was even more confused when he heard it: "What does this mean?"
Lu Mingtao sighed: "The rumor of "The Book of Thieves of the World" says that whoever gets this book of heaven will be able to win Kyushu and seize the world. Therefore, Jinyiwei, East Factory, and West Factory first came to the door, and then the major forces flocked to the door. β
"The little girl was originally cultivating in the Hengshan faction, but it was because she got the news that she went down the mountain and returned to her hometown, and she wanted to take this thing back. Later, I learned the specific content, and at the same time, I didn't want to be implicated, so I took the initiative to show up to attract the attention of others. β
"Now I don't have the time or mood to hear you say this!" Xiong Chu waved his hand impatiently: "I'll just ask two questions: Where is the ancient tomb fragment now, and what do you want to do in Huashan?"
Ge Fengming, who had been bowing his head and being silent, suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Lu Jushi-"
"After so many lives and deaths, I don't believe your words anymore. Lu Mingtao seemed to have made up his mind: "Balang Shaoxia, I know that Luo Daxia showed up to save us, and it was also to get the "Book of Thieves". But Luo Daxia was above board, and he didn't snatch it, but blocked the chasing soldiers for me, and let me decide who to hand it over. β
"I also blame my greed for a thought, which caused the tragedy of the destruction of my family. Now I finally understand that what the Huashan faction values is not me as a person, but what I have in my hands. They promised me the identity of a second-generation disciple and built a courtyard in Xuchang, which now seems to be a vague thing. Now I decide, I don't want this thing!"
