Chapter 403
"I have a guess about this."
The Western Demon General is relatively abstract to Zhang Lie and other Easterners, so Lu Xiao told everyone the true identity of Dugu Ningke through conjecture.
"A spy sent by the Demon King of the West..."
Among the people present, apart from Lu Xiao, old Jianghu Zhang Lie was the most knowledgeable.
Zhang Lie is of mixed Turkic and Han descent. When he was active in the Western Regions in his early years to avenge his father, he heard the legend about the Great Demon King Satan from business travelers from Europe.
Europeans under the Catholic faith are very afraid of Satan, but most people have not seen Satan with their own eyes.
In this era of underdeveloped information, the deeds of Satan and his demon generals are only circulated in the world in the form of rumors.
However, Lu Xiao knows that in the world view of Xuanyuan Sword, Satan does exist. He has appeared in the main story of Xuanyuan Sword Three: The Other Side of Yunhe Mountain.
Zhang Lie pondered for a moment and then asked Lu Xiao: "Brother Lu, you won't make such a guess for no reason, right? Where do you get the clues?"
Lu Xiao began to talk seriously: "I used to travel around Persia, Dashi and Constantinople, and I have some understanding of Western belief systems. Initially, I was inspired by the Road to Babel and the Hexagram of the Earth.
Lenovo.”
"The six-pointed star array is basically not used in the East. It is a commonly used symbol in Western Judaism and is also called the Seal of Solomon."
"The Road to Babel immediately reminded me of the Tower of Babel built by the Kingdom of Babylon, also called the Tower of Babel. According to legend, it was built by a Babylonian king to lead to heaven, and it symbolizes the tower of God climbing to heaven."
"Yongzhen and Jingchou had previous contact with Yuwen Tuo's general Yang Shuo. After defeating him, they inadvertently obtained some seemingly unimportant information."
"Dugu Ningke told Yuwen Tuo about many plans for replacing the ancient artifacts to arrange the Void Formation, including the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Beads."
Lu Xiao tapped the table with his fingers and asked: "Where did a Sui princess who lived in a boudoir all year round learn these Western secrets?"
"Since this period of time, Yongzhen and I have been keeping surveillance on the Dugu County Prince's Mansion, and we discovered that the two personal maids under Dugu Ningke have strange identities."
Lu Xiao turned to look at Chen Jingchou: "Jingchou, when you and Xiaoxue followed Yongzhen to get Pangu's axe, did you hear Pangu ancestor mention the name 'white-haired little fox'?"
Chen Jingchou's face changed: "Yes, but we don't know who this title refers to specifically."
Lu Xiao smiled and explained: "It's Gu Yuesheng. He was trained as a white fox for thousands of years. Although there are no traces of being a fox on his body, his unique aura that is different from the human race impressed me deeply."
"I felt a similar aura from Dugu Ningke's maid, Yuchi Yanhong. That woman should also be a thousand-year-old vixen who has cultivated into human form."
"Vixen?!"
Yu'er exclaimed in surprise: "Are there really spirits that can completely transform into human form? And they are hiding among us?"
"Don't get excited."
Lu Xiao shrugged and said: "Not all spirits who cultivate human form are evil, there are also many spirits who hope to live an ordinary life as human beings. They quietly integrate into the human world and will not reveal any flaws easily.
"
"Isn't Gu Yuesheng a representative? He transformed into a human form as a vixen. He practiced many good deeds and became an immortal. Now he is respected by you as Gu Yuesheng."
The conversation changed and Lu Xiao changed the topic back: "So far, we have not found any evidence that Yuchi Yanhong did anything evil, but she and another maid Shan Xiaoxiao secretly constructed a huge conspiracy under the instructions of Dugu Ningke.
Network.”
"This special network has provided Dugu Ningke with a massive amount of information. If she plans to use this information for evil... the consequences will be disastrous."
Zhang Lie raised his eyebrows and asked: "Since all the evidence shows that there is something wrong with Princess Dugu Ningke, brother Lu, what are you going to do? Go directly to the princess's mansion to eliminate future troubles forever?"
Lu Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If it were me when I was younger, I might have carried out the beheading tactic regardless."
"Maybe it's because I have more things to consider as I get older, and now I'm more inclined to adopt a prudent approach."
Yu'er curled her lips and interrupted Lu Xiao: "It sounds like you are so old now, aren't you only in your 20s?"
"Haha~"
Lu Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Yu'er, don't judge a person's age simply by appearance. Before the barrier of youth is broken, can you tell how old the Queen of the Di Human Race is?"
Before Yu'er could react further, Zhang Lie raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Lu, is it possible that you have a magic weapon or spell that can keep you young forever?"
Lu Xiao smiled noncommittally: "That's right, but this question is not important."
"The important thing is that we must find a way to lure Dugu Ningke to reveal her fox tail, and expose her true face to Yuwen Tuo as much as possible."
Yuwen Tuo holds the unparalleled Xuanyuan Sword, and he is the reincarnation of the Kunlun Mirror. The power exerted by the two artifacts combined is not just a simple 1+1=2.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lu Xiao really didn't want to break up with Yuwen Tuo, and obtaining the Pangu Ax was just the last insurance for emergencies.
Lu Xiao moved away from the topic of youth, and Zhang Lie continued to ask without hesitation, following his words and said: "Brother Lu, you already have a plan, right? Let's talk about it and let's brainstorm together."
Zhang Lie learned the Guigu Taoist technique specifically for Yuwen Tuo from Yang Yichen. When Yang Yichen was on his deathbed, he held his hand and left a last wish, hoping that Zhang Lie could lead Yuwen Tuo, who had gone astray, back to the right track.
.
If Yuwen Tuo remains stubborn, at least we must ensure that the Sui Grand Master who "brought disaster to the world" can no longer do evil.
Zhang Lie is a man of his word and will definitely do what he promises.
According to Lu Xiao, Yuwen Tuo's series of perverse actions were all due to Dugu Ningke's instigation, and he issued the order to obtain the blood of all spirits and forcibly recruit civilians to build the Tower of Babel as a last resort.
If Yuwen Tuo can be allowed to see Dugu Ningke's true face, he may be able to give up those cruel plans and return to the right path, which can be regarded as fulfilling Yang Yichen's last wish.
…
While in Tianwai Village, Gu Yuesheng made some calculations and concluded that the Scarlet Demon Star would break through the sky in mid-September, which is only two months away.
Without knowing Xiaoxue's true identity, Yuwen Tuo is still trying his best to find the Nuwa Stone.
His most loyal subordinate Hu Lu'an was excavating an ancient king's tomb left in the Han Dynasty in Bashu. It is said that the Nuwa Stone was buried in the tomb.
Among the Qin, Ding and Seal Mirror Stones, both the tripod and the seal are in the hands of Lu Xiao. Xiaoxue, the reincarnation of Nuwa Stone, is also following. In addition, as Yuwen Tuo, the reincarnation of Kunlun Mirror, only Fu Xiqin is still living outside.
Yuwen Tuo was banned by Yang Guang and could not move. He was protected by the power of a thousand Buddhas and had the ability to confuse people's minds. No one could take out the Fuxi Qin.
Considering the urgency of time and the threat of Dugu Ningke, Lu Xiao decided to divide the existing manpower into three lines of action.
He personally went to the Dunhuang Grottoes to obtain the Fuxi Qin, while Zhang Lie led Chen Jingchou and Yu Xiaoxue to the tomb of the ancient king of Bashu to delay Hulu'an's actions.
Yongzhen stayed in Daxing City, secretly contacted Yang Shuo, whom he had met before, and revealed to him the news that the Nuwa stone in the tomb of the ancient king of Bashu was a fake, and also vaguely mentioned that someone was secretly coveting Hu Lu'an.
The counterfeit Nuwa stone in hand.
Yuwen Tuo, who cherishes his subordinates, will definitely send reinforcements to the tomb of the ancient king of Bashu.
On the other hand, Lu Xiao drew a detailed drawing of the Dugu County Prince's Palace and gave it to Yu'er.
She sneaked into the Prince's Mansion according to the detailed instructions on the drawing, wrote Yuwen Tuo's next move on the cloth, and left it in the garden pavilion of the Prince's Mansion.
In addition to Yuwen Tuo's actions, the cloth also records the news that the holders of the Shennong Cauldron and the Kongtong Seal were also heading to the tomb of the ancient king of Bashu to seize the Nuwa Stone.
At the end of the cloth, Lu Xiao drew a Mandela pentagram symbol, which represented that this information came from the hands of Satan.
No one knows that Dugu Ningke is possessed by Satan's female demon general. Seeing this mark that will never appear in the East, she will most likely believe it.
Before setting off for the Dunhuang Grottoes, Lu Xiao stared deeply at the Dugu County Prince's Mansion, which was still as calm as before.
