This emerald-colored bead was accidentally discovered by Monk Lao Shi in a post-war ruins in Xiwu. The ruins are said to be the place where the gods fell, and there are many unborn treasures hidden there. This bead can bring people back to life.
The Orb of Resurrection is one of them.
Resurrection from the dead is a taboo of heaven, and those who violate the law of heaven will be punished by heaven. The Resurrection Half Pearl can indeed bring people back to life, but it is in exchange for the user's own Yangshou. The higher the cultivation level of the person saved, the more Yangshou is lost.
more.
When he resurrected Yu Niang, Monk Lao Shi lost ten years of his life, because Yu Niang was just a mortal with no power to restrain a chicken. This time to save Qianyu, it took a hundred years of Yang life. Monk Lao Shi's life span was only one or two hundred years, so this
It was still based on his strong cultivation. If his cultivation had been any weaker, this rescue would have cost him his life.
The loss of a hundred years of life caused the honest monk to grow gray overnight. Although he had no hair on his head, his eyebrows and beard became silvery. Wrinkles also appeared on his flat-cake-like face, and his spirit had obviously aged a few times.
grade.
After a night, he was so haggard that he lay directly on Qianyu and fell into a deep sleep...
The morning sun is warm and gentle, shining into the house through the carved window sill, casting a mottled pattern.
This should be the closest Qianyu has come to death. He cannot open his eyes, nor can he feel anything. His thoughts seem to be floating in a darkness, which is deep and silent, has no exit, and is boundless.
He wanted to call for help, but he couldn't make any sound at all. He wanted to run, but he couldn't feel the existence of his body. He wanted to dispel the darkness, but found that he had merged into the darkness and became a part of it.
"Am I already...dead?" he asked himself.
no answer.
Qianyu's thoughts wandered in the darkness, and he didn't know how long it had passed. His thoughts began to scatter, being swallowed up and annihilated by the darkness bit by bit... Until a certain moment, a faint light suddenly appeared in the darkness - faint, as if
Is it... green?
With the green light shining in, the darkness was gradually dispelled. His thoughts became solid again. Gradually, he heard the sound of rushing water, and the flow brought him a warm feeling. After a while, he felt it again.
With the physical existence, he began to breathe freely and enjoy the warmth brought by the green light.
The stiff body finally reacted. He moved the fingers of his right hand, and then slowly opened his eyes. His body was uncomfortable being pressed. He wanted to figure out what was oppressing him. Moving his eyes downward, he discovered
The person pressing on him was a person, a monk! An honest monk!
The honest monk lay on his stomach and fell asleep, with harrass continuously flowing out of his mouth, which made Qianyu feel nauseous. What made him even more nauseous was that he was now naked and wearing nothing!
"Go away!" Qianyu subconsciously pushed hard, and the honest monk flew out and fell to the ground. Despite this, the honest monk still showed no sign of waking up, which made Qianyu a little strange. He suppressed the anger in his heart and quickly put on his clothes.
clothes, and then moved the honest monk to the bed.
"How come this damn monk has white eyebrows? And he looks a lot more haggard..." Qianyu was very confused, and then stretched out his hand to check the honest monk's breath. His breath was a little weak and he needed to be nursed back to health!
"What happened to the dead monk? Was he drained by those women?" Qianyu was even more confused, "No matter how hungry those women were, they still wouldn't squeeze the dead monk until his eyebrows turned gray all night long. It should be for other reasons..."
At this time, Qianyu touched his back and saw that the injury had healed. Thinking of being assassinated by the perverted man disguised as a girl last night, he felt angry. After he fell into the trap, he lost his mind.
Awareness.
"The dead monk should have saved me." Qianyu deduced, "But why is he so old? Is it because he saved me? If that is the case, then I must thank him."
"Let's just assume that you saved me, and now I will help you." Qianyu took out the alchemy furnace, prepared the healing herbs, and began to refine the elixir. He hadn't refined elixirs for a long time, and his techniques were a bit rusty. Fortunately, he
I had a solid foundation in gathering spirits, and soon I started to feel comfortable with it, and started refining elixirs with ease.
Three hours later, the elixir was successfully refined and he gave it to Monk Lao Shi. It was estimated that Monk Lao Shi would not wake up for a while and could only wait for his body to recover slowly.
After packing up the alchemy furnace and adjusting his mood, Qianyu put on a human skin mask and became a sloppy bearded uncle. As long as he kept silent, his flaws would not be exposed.
He wanted to find someone - Liao Yunchuan.
The assassination last night seemed to be carefully arranged, so he could conclude that someone wanted to kill him!
He has been in the City of Divine Shadows for some years, but he has not made any enmity with anyone. The only person who might have the motive to kill was Zhao Ruxun.
That's right, it's Zhao Ruxun again!
The assassination happened right after his conversation with Zhao Rushun. How could it be such a coincidence? After he left, Zhao Rushun probably sent someone to follow him, or asked someone about his whereabouts yesterday, and then followed him all the way.
Yesterday, only one person knew about his itinerary - Liao Yunchuan. Liao Yunchuan had no enmity with him, so he would not kill him. He wanted to confirm whether Zhao Ruxun sent someone to find Liao Yunchuan to inquire about his whereabouts. If so, then
It proves that Zhao Ruxun has something in his mind and wants to stop Qianyu from continuing to investigate the case!
Qianyu quickly found Liao Yunchuan, and Liao Yunchuan's answer was: "No."
"Are you sure?" Qianyu was slightly disappointed and wanted to confirm again.
"Sure." Liao Yunchuan replied firmly, "Little friend Qianyu, I heard that you are still investigating the disappearance case?"
"It's just me messing around, it's not an investigation." Qianyu replied with a smile.
"Oh..." Liao Yunchuan gave Qianyu a very meaningful look, "Little friend Qianyu, let it go. The real culprit in this case has been arrested, and there is no need to investigate further."
"There are still many doubts about this case that have not been resolved. I..."
"Ru Xun talked to me about the disappearance case last night, and he said that he was the mastermind behind it." Liao Yunchuan's faint words were like a thunderclap, making Qian Yudian's head spin.
Zhao Ruxun admitted that he was the murderer?!
What is this operation?
"He also revealed that not only this disappearance case, but also the disappearance case where the real murderer was confirmed a few years ago was also committed by him. Those so-called murderers were all scapegoats he found. In other words, what happened in the past few years
He was the murderer of more than 70 murders in the City of Divine Shadows." Liao Yunchuan's calmness was a bit scary, and Qianyu was completely stunned.
More than seventy lives!
They were all killed by Zhao Ruxun alone!
This is the famous good man?!
"What does the city lord plan to do?" Qianyu asked nervously.
"I have no plans at the moment." Liao Yunchuan's tone remained calm.
"What?!" Qianyu's voice was enough to break Liao Yunchuan's eardrums, but Liao Yunchuan seemed to have not heard and said to himself: "Little friend Qianyu, I can understand your mood. But you don't understand what's going on behind this.
Regarding the relationship of interests, you don’t understand the citizens of the City of Divine Shadow. It’s useless to say more. From today on, you should leave the City of Divine Shadow. This city no longer needs you.”
"I can't accept it!" Qianyu was so excited that he wanted to slam the table!
"You go back first, you will figure it out after a while."
"Why? Zhao Ruxun committed such a heinous crime. As the city lord, not only did you not arrest the real culprit, but you became an accomplice and whitewashed the peace?" Qianyu's question was heart-breaking, and Liao Yunchuan's expression changed slightly.
I don’t know whether it’s shame or self-blame.
But he quickly regained his composure, "This is the best solution I can think of."
"What kind of solution is this?!" Qian Yu was still angry, "More than seventy lives and more than seventy happy families were destroyed like this! Zhao Ruxun must be cut into pieces to repay the crime he committed.
The more than 300,000 citizens of the City of Divine Shadow must be given an explanation for their sins. They have the right to know the truth!"
"The truth has been revealed."
"What I'm telling you is the real truth!" Qianyu stared at the calm-faced Liao Yunchuan like a hungry wolf, he was so angry that he was about to explode.
"Then tell me, how do you publish the law?" Liao Yunchuan asked suddenly. Qianyu was stunned for a while and said, "Tell all the people in the city that Zhao Ruxun is the mastermind behind it, and then kill him in public."
"Naive." Liao Yunchuan smiled instead of getting angry, "I have said before that you don't understand the interests behind the case at all, so you come up with such ridiculous ideas. Ruxun is a god-like existence in the City of Divine Shadows, and every year
He will treat the people of the city for free and distribute daily necessities for free, which is well-known among the people of the city. The main source of income of the City of Divine Shadow is the sale of elixirs, and all the elixirs are refined by Ru Xun himself, which means that
, Ruxun controls the economic lifeline of the city. Not only that, because of Ruxun's status as a fifth-grade spiritual gathering master, the city lords of several other major cities will condescend to visit and establish long-term trade cooperation relationships with the City of Divine Shadow. Some
The powerful person who was not born in the world volunteered to become his personal guard and obeyed his words. It can be said that without Zhao Ruxun, there would be no City of Divine Shadow! Even if he wanted the position of city lord from me, I could only give it to him.
.”
"Now, do you still want to reveal the truth?"
Qianyu was speechless. He did not expect that Zhao Ruxun played such an important role in the City of Divine Shadow. If he told the citizens that Zhao Ruxun was the real murderer, with Zhao Ruxun's influence in the city,
Not only would those city residents not believe him, but they would attack him in groups, and he would not be able to protect himself at that time.
At this moment, he finally understood Liao Yunchuan's helplessness.
However, because of these objective reasons, the real murderer can be allowed to run free?
Qianyu couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.
So, he raised his head firmly, his eyes were full of calmness, looked at Liao Yunchuan, and said, "I want to give it a try."
"Why are you so stubborn?" Liao Yunchuan was angry. He stood up in anger, looked at Qian Yu condescendingly, and said angrily: "Just for the so-called truth? Just for the more than seventy lives? Just for your selfish heart.
Heart?!"
Qianyu's heart was shaken, and he gradually began to doubt himself. Like a child who made a mistake, he slowly lowered his head.
"I can guarantee that as long as you announce the truth, the City of Divine Shadow will definitely turn into chaos. At that time, the situation will be out of control and the entire City of Divine Shadow will be paralyzed. Is this the result you want?!"
"Do you know that because of your selfish attempts, the 300,000 citizens of the City of Shadows will fall into infinite disaster!"
Liao Yunchuan's words were like a whip, hitting Qianyu's lively heart full of enthusiasm and infinite yearning for justice, leaving ugly whip marks on this heart that can never be erased for the rest of his life.
Just give up?
But after all, those are more than seventy living lives!
Qianyu was asked to give up right now, how could he give up! How could he give up!!
He needs to make a choice.
Moving forward, there will be mountains of swords and seas of fire, and there will be no place to die.
Retreat, the future is bright and full of vitality.
He chose to move forward.
Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, he will keep moving forward!
Liao Yunchuan got the answer from Qianyu's eyes. He turned around in disappointment and said coldly: "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. If you insist on investigating the case and walk out of this door, you and I will be enemies."
Qianyu raised his head again without speaking. He saluted Liao Yunchuan with a complicated expression, then strode out with his head held high...
