Chapter 188 Life and Death

Chapter 188 Life and Death

In spring, the grass grows and the orioles fly.

Especially after several days of spring rain.

It also greatly promotes the growth of various plants.

As far as the eye can see, everything is filled with green colors.

The branches of Luoshui flow quietly.

It seems like time keeps passing by.

Everything old has been washed away, and new changes have emerged.

Although I don’t know if it’s good or bad, it’s still different from before.

The sand quarry has returned to normal operations.

Although the owner of the house, Mr. Fang, was wiped out overnight, and even the maids and servants among them were not spared, the people living in the gold tanning field still had to eat, so they had to continue working to get wages.

There was no other way. At the signal of Deacon Wei, Gan Liang had no choice but to reluctantly take charge of the stall for the time being.

First, use thunderous means to directly kill the thornhead who wants to stir up trouble and stand on his own feet.

Then, act like a Bodhisattva and give rewards to those who work honestly.

With this two-pronged approach, the situation in the gold tanning farm was quickly controlled and stabilized.

The next step is to appease the foreman, check the account books, and understand the situation more comprehensively and in detail.

For Gan Liang, a well-informed veteran who had traveled all over the world, he was very familiar with doing these things, and there were no complicated obstacles.

Wei Tao was no longer in the gold tanning field.

Instead, he took Liu Qingyuan to the summer resort.

The afternoon sun shone down, dispelling the lingering gloom and coating the entire manor with a light golden color.

"The maids and servants in the Fang family's mansion should be the blood spirit silk test subjects that are closest to success."

Liu Qingyuan spoke slowly while carefully observing the architectural layout of the manor.

"Of course, before them, there must have been many people around the gold tanning field who became losers in implanting the Blood Spirit Silk."

"Perhaps because of Miss Fang's relationship, the old man from the Green Lotus Sect put a lot of effort into keeping her and the room staff in the dark from the beginning to the end. His intention to protect her secretly was quite obvious."

"As for the final exposure, which led to Mr. Fu's investigation, she may have expected it.

She had already started targeting the warriors who had cultivated their Qi and blood, and our arrival just met her wish.

It's a pity that she didn't expect that the first wave of fish caught was so powerful that instead of being able to eat it, she swallowed her whole body in one bite."

When Wei Tao heard this, he suddenly asked, "What if we are eaten by her? What do you think she will do next?"

"I don't know either."

Liu Qingyuan stopped in front of the Gui family ancestral hall.

"Maybe she'll stay and fish.

Of course, it is also possible to leave directly and continue in a more secluded place, so as not to attract the real attention of Jiaomen Yuanyi."

The two entered the ancestral hall.

I looked around carefully, but still found nothing.

Wei Tao was about to leave, but he stopped again just as he raised his feet.

He ducked to the shrine, closed his eyes and felt silently.

Under the cover of the long gown, the blood network on the body surface slowly emerged, gradually shining with a dark blood-colored light.

After a dozen breaths.

He suddenly opened his eyes and pointed at the shrine, "Smash it down and dig down."

Time passed little by little.

Liu Qingyuan was so busy that he was sweating profusely. He found a rusty shovel and dug a pit of more than half a meter into the ground.

Click!

The shovel fell, creating a cloud of sparks.

Her heart moved, and she carefully took out a metal box from underneath.

After brushing off the dust, you can clearly see the lotus pattern in the center of the lid.

There is also a huge "Gui" character below, occupying half of the country.

Each of the four sides has a line of small characters engraved on it.

"The sky is dead, but the sky will stand. If you live for a year, the world will be prosperous."

"The green lotus falls in the blue, the pure land of rebirth, the mother of no life, the empty homeland."

"The mud grows, chaos begins, the green lotus appears, and the prosperous age begins."

"Gods and Buddhas are reborn, King Ming is born, golden light surges from the earth, and red lights shine from the sky."

Wei Tao observed carefully and suddenly became confused.

"I have never understood how Gui Shufang suddenly transformed from a hero in wiping out the Qinglian Demon Cult to a key figure in the Demon Cult, and even participated in the rebellion in Qizhou?"

"It's not just Mr. Fu who doesn't understand, but the people in our Touring Department don't understand either. Even many people in the sect can't understand it either."

Liu Qingyuan sighed quietly, "But this is the fact. What has happened will not change based on our thoughts."

Coming from the Tour Department, she is obviously very familiar with how to open boxes.

As he spoke, his hands did not stop and were busy working on the surface of the box.

There was a soft click.

The metal box was opened.

Reveal what is placed inside.

It was a green jade lotus platform that was almost split in half.

After just one glance, Liu Qingyuan showed a disappointed expression on his face, and said with some disgust, "It was hidden so deep, I thought it was some rare treasure, but it turned out to be just a broken lotus platform."

"When we annihilated the Qinglian Demon Sect, we saw not a hundred but dozens of things like this..."

"Eh!?"

Her expression suddenly changed, and she dropped the broken lotus platform as if she was electrocuted.

"No, that's not right!"

"This jade lotus platform actually seems to be a living thing!"

Click!

The other hand reached over and picked up the lotus stand.

It feels quite textured, and has strange and complicated textures on its surface, which casts a faint halo under the sunlight.

Wei Tao lowered his head and looked at his palm.

The lotus platform really came to life.

Several red threads attached to the surface were meandering and trying to penetrate into his skin.

But not long after, it turned into a red thread and struggled, being swallowed up and absorbed by the blood network in the body.

Another feeling of extreme satisfaction came to my heart.

Even the injuries sustained during the fierce battle with the old woman from the Green Lotus Sect were visibly reduced and began to gradually recover.

However, compared to these, Wei Tao was more interested in the lotus platform itself.

Quietly.

The illusory status bar appears empty.

Wei Tao quickly turned his attention to the recharge center.

"When you find a broken lotus platform, do you choose to complete it?"

Naturally, there are two choices of yes and no below.

With the previous experience of half-body residual image, Wei Tao naturally chose no.

Whoosh!

The status bar flashes.

New content appears immediately.

"Broken lotus platform (not completed), whether to absorb it."

He quietly looked at Liu Qingyuan who was still rummaging around in the ancestral hall, closed the status bar, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Unconsciously, the atmosphere became a little stagnant.

Liu Qingyuan's movements became slower and slower.

It is also becoming more and more rigid.

The body also began to tremble uncontrollably.

She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm her chaotic emotions.

After a moment, she raised her head, looked directly into those cold and indifferent eyes, and mustered up the courage to say, "Mr. Fu, have you ever considered joining our patrol department?"

"Not yet."

Wei Tao shook his head slowly, his eyes falling on her fair and slender neck.

It feels like a tiger that has just woken up from its slumber, staring at the unsuspecting lamb in front of it.

Liu Qingyuan tried his best to calm down his tone, "With Mr. Fu's strength and the little girl's operation, as long as he joins the Patrol Department, he can start as the Yiwei Shaoqing.

The manpower, material resources, intelligence resources, etc. that can be mobilized from now on will far exceed the imagination of ordinary people."

He was noncommittal and said absently after a moment of silence, "In today's world, the imperial power is on the sidelines and the court is weak. It is still unknown how far these benefits you mentioned can be realized."

"Mr. Fu is right. The foreign war 40 years ago and the civil strife half a century ago led to the rapid rise of Jiedu commanders in various places. The weakness of the central court is indeed an indisputable fact.

However, the decline of the imperial center had little to do with the Touring Department.

The real situation is that as the world gradually enters chaos, instead of weakening, our company has become stronger."

Liu Qingyuan carefully observed his expression and continued speaking quickly.

"As long as Mr. Fu joins our company, he will definitely start directly as Shaoqing.

Maybe it won't take too long to be promoted to Zhongcheng, or even to the rank of regular attendant of the Touring Department.

By that time, both the imperial court and the Jianghu will have increasingly stronger influence and power."

Wei Tao was expressionless and said slowly, "How do you know that before I get all this, there won't be a sudden accident and I will end up dead and everything will end?"

Liu Qingyuan looked pale, held the hem of her clothes with her fingers, and tightened them little by little involuntarily.

"Mr. Fu is cautious and doesn't want to believe it. I can totally understand that."

"After all, in the battle with the Qinglian Sect in the Fang family compound, the moves used by Mr. Xiyue can clearly be seen as the shadow of Xiyue, a descendant of Xuanwu Dao.

Under the current situation, no matter how cautious Mr. Fu is, it is not too much."

When Liu Qingyuan said this, he sighed again.

"As long as Mr. Fu can spare my life, I can apply to be transferred to the vicinity of Luoshui to serve Mr. Fu.

And you can use the power of the patrol department to secretly do things for your husband and clear obstacles for him.

Of course, if you can join our company, it will definitely be a better choice. You will have the full support of your subordinates in the future..."

Wei Tao suddenly interrupted her and asked, "What is your teacher's name? Is he also an official of the Touring Department?"

"My teacher's surname is Bai. He was also the Minister of Patrol Yiwei Zhongcheng. He..."

She didn't finish her sentence.

The expression on his face suddenly froze.

Staring intently at the black and red hand that appeared in front of him without any warning.

It seemed to be slowing down, but he gently pressed on her forehead.

A little darkness suddenly bloomed in front of my eyes.

Then it quickly occupied the entire field of vision.

There is no more light.

"He killed people and couldn't even detect any signs."

"Forget it, so what if I find out? Isn't it just adding trouble and panic to myself?"

Several thoughts quietly flashed through her heart, and Liu Qingyuan breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief.

The heartstring that had been tense suddenly relaxed at this moment.

Wei Tao stared at the body that gradually became motionless.

After a moment of silence, she knelt down and slowly took off her coat.
