This purple gold demon pestle is made of fine workmanship, smooth and shiny, with clear edges and corners. The top is the Vajra pestle, the bottom is three thorns, and there are three Buddha heads in the middle, one for laughter, one for anger, and one for scolding. Even such a small carving is
It feels so vivid, as if it will speak in the next moment.
How on earth could this guy hide something like this and still come in without being discovered?
"How did you steal it?!" Qi Huan was also in disbelief, "It's so strict here, you, you..."
"After all, I'm an assassin... This bit of caution is just for fun." Mr. Shuangyue said lazily, "Don't worry, I have no other intentions. I definitely don't want to steal or provoke you, I'm just curious.
That's all, Tu Yi is happy. I'm not a cruel person who likes to see blood. If you kill two less, I'll give it back to you. But..."
Lord Shuangyue rarely looked directly at the queen, with a rather condescending attitude. On the surface, the queen seemed not angry yet, but the soldiers behind her began to whisper. The king seemed to smile generously and asked:
"But what?"
"Let me explain first that I have never done something wrong. After all, I am not a craftsman and I cannot make such an exquisite imitation. But... your Demonic Pestle itself seems to be a fake?"
What do you mean? Bai Ya and others all looked over. Unexpectedly, the Queen's soldiers were even more shocked and angry than they were. These words seemed to be an unforgivable insult to the treasure of the country. They were all
Both of them cursed hurriedly.
"Everything requires evidence!" the largest one among them said fiercely, "You dare to spread rumors and slander our sacred national treasure, I think you will die!"
"Then why...no one noticed when I brought it in?" Lord Shuangyue asked, "Isn't this your treasure? Just like the Demon Sealing Blade, could it be because of my manipulation?"
The queen suddenly laughed. Of course, the smile was not pretty and it was intentional. But then she shook her head and said quite frankly:
"I underestimated you. I originally thought you were just a martial arts idiot. I never thought that your mind is as sophisticated and terrifying as your martial arts."
"You don't have to beat around the bush if you want to say that I have a big heart, I don't mind."
"I want to praise you and your wisdom. If you admit that this is our stolen treasure, it will prove that it is not the real demon pestle, but a fake of the national treasure. If you don't admit it, we will have no way to ask you for the authentic one that was hidden.
.”
"When you say that, it seems that you are admitting it in disguise. It's just that it's not worth it for your loyal guards to lose their lives for nothing because of a mere imitation. Are their lives so worthless in your eyes?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. The nature of a soldier is to obey orders. Orders are supreme and unquestionable. No matter how ridiculous the order is, it is necessary to do so even if it turns out to be wrong later. No one's orders
Sacrifice is meaningless."
"Yeah?"
Lord Shuangyue raised his voice, clearly expressing his doubts. But after that, he did not say any more words to argue with her. After all, Shura and human beings are different species, and it is impossible to understand each other. And they use Shura
It is unreasonable for people to have rules that restrict people. They never mentioned a word about this aspect.
He casually threw the Demon-Conquering Pestle over, and a tall and thin Shura with dark gray skin suddenly raised his hand and caught it.
"Is this how you pay it back?" Qi Huan whispered.
"It's useless to hold a fake."
What Qi Huan meant was that even if the goods were fake, the conditions could be negotiated. But then I thought, since there is one fake, it is not a problem to create thousands of fakes.
"It seems, indeed..."
The Shura lowered his voice and spoke to the queen. The rough voice still reached the ears of others. However, the king did not even look at it.
"We think that we have treated you as landlords. However, you have repeatedly disobeyed the rules and even provoked you to come to the Temple of War. We kindly invited you to visit the temple, but you have attacked our country's most important treasures. Isn't it inappropriate to do so?
Too suitable?"
Although her tone was still calm, her eyes became hot and sharp, like a knife that had been tempered on the fire, emitting a blazing and dazzling light that made people dare not look directly. Lord Shuangyue also stared back,
His eyes were like sharpened ice spikes. Between the two of them, it seemed that they could hear the screams of the collision of ice and fire.
"As you wished, I returned to your territory with your lost weapon. Not only did I not resist, I even gave it away. Not only did you not want it, you also detained me here without any reason. What was your plan?
?”
"I didn't expect that we would entertain you so wholeheartedly, but you would still make assumptions. This is really hurtful." Dog
Mr. Shuangyue didn't say much, but suddenly showed a smile. This was really rare. However, this smile was obviously mocking. Then he shrugged, stretched out his finger, and turned half a circle.
"At first, I was just curious. I went shopping last night, and after confronting you now, I have some new ideas. Since you don't keep your mouth open, don't blame me for being ruthless. You show it
If a fake is enshrined here, where is the authentic one? Do you know, how many people know, and what is the purpose? Should I ask these things, should you say it, and whether what you say is credible, everything is
It's suspicious. So... I'm not going to ask about this."
After talking for a long time, this sentence came, and neither Shura nor Bai Ya could understand it. He was always like this, either not speaking, or not speaking in human words. The unclear lines were confusing, Qi Huan
Can't help but ask:
"Then what do you want to ask?"
"Good question." Even though he said this, Lord Shuangyue still didn't look at him. Instead, he stared straight into the Queen's eyes. "I would rather know if this War Temple...is really just to commemorate those, these -
—A so-called hero, right?”
"You'd better speak more clearly." Wang smiled, "We martial arts practitioners have straight minds and can't think too much."
"It would be great if you really can't think too much. Since I have already arrived at the Nine Heavens Kingdom, it is quite boring to say this. Let me just say it straight, human bones and animal bones are the most common materials in witchcraft.
The Feng Shui layout of each temple is very particular, "brick by brick".
After processing. But I am not a professional Onmyoji, so I can’t see the reason. However, I can more or less sense that all of this is like a kind of memorial, a kind of ritual... or something. The real situation under the Temple of War is
Didn’t you suppress anything?”
Although Mr. Shuangyue is an amateur at this point, the last sentence was somewhat of a joke. But obviously, these Shuras were not happy, whether it was the content or the tone of his words. They all glared at Mr. Shuangyue and bared their teeth.
, this appearance reminded them of a dog that had been robbed of food.
"If there is no evidence, please don't slander our innocence! Everything requires evidence. Don't think that just because you have the Demon-Sealing Blade, you can be unscrupulous and speak freely!" Before the queen could explain, the guard leading the way was a little angry.
The two sides were at war with each other, and the atmosphere had never been so anxious. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the weak monster from before suddenly took a step forward and stood between a few people. This surprised Bai Ya and the others. They saw him clearing the air.
He raised his voice and said loudly:
"Since Mr. Shuangyue has returned the things, how about letting this matter go? Since it has not caused any serious consequences, if we worry about it, wouldn't we lose the dignity of a great country? What about this kind of thing... continue
If we dig deeper, it will be of no benefit to both parties. Our king is not someone who is always willing to spend money and money——"
Having said this, Bai Ya and the others took a look at the corpse on the ground. The one that was still moving before was now dead.
"Let's just treat this matter as a story. If there are still any emotions that can't be calmed down, how about putting it on the field and fighting how you want? I believe that all of you, friends from a foreign land, will not be unreasonable.
"
This smooth play was really embarrassing, even a little deliberate. First, he helped them to save themselves, praised the queen to stop her from thinking too much, and asked a question in passing, as if they would not appreciate it if they wanted to pursue it.
.Speaking of this monster—perhaps it was an oleander spirit. What he said was a bit overbearing, and he dared to make decisions for King Shura? However, the king didn't seem to mind, and he didn't express any reaction to his words.
Bai Ya was very dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything. After all, the theft of the Demonic Pestle had nothing to do with them, and Lord Shuangyue didn't reveal any of his plans to them. As for Shura, he didn't take this matter into account.
He made a big fuss and insisted on accusing them of groundless charges and raising suspicion. He originally planned to fall out with them as soon as the dirty water was poured out. But now it seems that both of them have made sense, and this anger has disappeared.
Hold it back.
"It doesn't matter." He said, "It has nothing to do with us anyway. You have to be reasonable. Don't talk to us. Ask him."
Bai Ya gestured in the direction of Lord Shuangyue with a nonchalant look on his face. Lord Shuangyue also looked indifferent.
"At this point, I'm afraid you are not in the mood to go shopping anymore." Wang spread his hands, as if helpless, "If you don't have any objections, how about leaving the group competition to the afternoon? It doesn't matter, it will give you a change of mood."
"..."
Qi Huan whispered to his own people: "We... are not prepared, why not——"
"Okay." Bai Ya blurted out.
"I have no objection either." Lord Shuangyue continued.
"You, you..."
Qi Huan was a little incredulous. He turned his attention to Aoyan and Shenghan for help. Liu Shenghan was a little embarrassed. However, Jun Aoyan immediately agreed with the two of them without any hesitation, and even seemed to wait for a long time. Shenghan reluctantly
He smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind their choice. At this moment, Qi Huan felt a little overwhelmed.
"Why don't we leave for the arena now." Wang picked up the hook knife, put it on his shoulder, turned around and said to the remaining guard, "Clean up this place and replace the floor. I don't want to come here next time
, and colors that shouldn’t belong in the temple.”
The guard nodded repeatedly, not daring to look at the person, and stepped aside with his neck hunched. Wang left the hall, followed by several generals. During the whole process, Jun Luanjiu did not say a word, and his expression did not change at all.
It's exactly like the statue standing there. Stiff, cold, and emotionless.
It was this lack of expression that inexplicably intensified Jun Aoyan's anger.
She pushed aside Qi Huan who was blocking her and followed her. Qi Huan failed to stand firm and almost fell down. It was difficult for him to understand, and it was difficult for others to understand - but they all knew that it was just because they were not standing in that position.
That's all. They couldn't understand why she was feeling like this, but they knew where this emotion came from.
