Hearing Xia Wenhou's words, my heart was raised. I was completely unsure whether he would blame us, because I really couldn't figure out what he was like.
He did not continue to say anything to me, but looked at Shen Jiu who was lying on the ground and said, "Tell me, why did you want to assassinate me."
Although Shen Jiu's body was sealed, there was no fear on his face. He said to Xia Wenhou with a smile on his face: "Xia Wenhou, aren't you good at divination? You can do the math yourself. Why should I kill you?"
Xia Wenhou smiled and was not angry. Instead, he stood up and walked slowly towards Shen Jiu.
He walked to Shen Jiu's side, looked at Shen Jiu carefully for a few times, then suddenly grabbed Shen Jiu's neck and said: "The thing I hate most in my life is when someone bargains with me. If I ask you to say it, you say it, otherwise I will kill you without hesitation. As for why you assassinated me, it actually doesn't matter to me."
As Xia Wenhou spoke, the hand on Shen Jiu's neck tightened even more.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but say: "Master Xia, please be patient!"
This Shen Jiu followed us all the way north. Although I didn't regard him as a companion, I felt some friendship in my heart, so I couldn't help but want to intercede for him.
Nangong Fanxong didn't say a word, but Qianyingjun whispered to me from the side: "Fellow Daoist Chen, don't you think you are in trouble enough? Why are you talking so much at this time?"
Apparently Qianyingjun also sensed the danger of our situation.
I ignored Lord Qianying, but looked at Xia Wenhou and continued: "Master Xia, I know that he committed a heinous crime in assassinating you and deserves to die, but I still have to take the risk to plead for him. Since you have subdued him, it is better to abolish him. Forget about his magical powers, there is no need to kill him anymore, it will also be good for you to do less evil."
Xia Wenhou smiled, then slowly released his hand from Shen Jiu's neck and said, "You should be glad that I am in a good mood today, otherwise you would be dead today."
After saying that, Xia Wenhou returned to his seat and sat down, and then continued to say to me: "I won't kill him, and I won't destroy his magical power, because his enemy is not me. He wants to I’m not the one who killed him, he just wanted to find a random leader of the Utopia to kill. I’m right!”
Shen Jiu snorted and said, "Yes, my enemy is actually Xiahou Luotian. My father was originally his subordinate. He was implicated in assassinating the leader of the realm and died. And he A man escaped and founded the Utopia with his own hands, but those who had followed him died cleanly."
"Before he died, my father sent me to Tianmo Temple. If Tianmo Buddha hadn't protected me, I would have died because of the huge turmoil."
"From that time on, I determined to kill Xiahou Luotian, a ruthless and unjust person, and destroy his utopia."
Hearing what Shen Jiu said, Xia Wenhou smiled and said, "Then you have no hope of revenge in this life."
Then he ignored Shen Jiu, but looked at me and said: "I will not kill him, nor will I destroy his magical powers. This is to give you face, but you owe me another big favor. You Do you know?"
I said, I know.
Xia Wenhou continued: "Then I want you to do something for me. Are you willing?"
I asked cautiously: "If it is within my ability, I will definitely do it. Of course, the prerequisite must not endanger the safety of my companions."
Xia Wenhou smiled and said: "What I want you to do is also what you want in your heart."
I frowned and then guessed: "Do you also want me to rescue the boy in the bamboo hat who was imprisoned by the leader of the country?"
Xia Wenhou smiled and said: "Yes, I also want you to save him, because he has a secret in his hands, a secret that I want to know but cannot figure out."
I asked Xia Wenhou why he didn't go to Qiuling himself to ask for someone. He and Qiuling were both the rulers of the country, so they should be very close to each other.
Xia Wenhou smiled and said: "You ask too many questions, just answer me, will you help me or not?"
Although Xia Wenhou was smiling, I heard a threat from his words. If we didn't agree, we might not be able to leave here safely, so I said to Xia Wenhou: "Of course I want to help."
, after all, we have something important to ask the boy in the hat."
Having said this, I paused for a moment, and then asked Xia Wenhou: "Master Xia, can you tell me why the boy in the bamboo hat was arrested by the leader of the Qingling Kingdom?"
Xia Wenhou said: "He went to steal the Yuan Sheng Stone of the Lord of Qiuling, and almost succeeded. But what makes me feel strange is that according to Qiuling's temperament, he should have killed the young monk without hesitation.
, but he didn’t do that, instead he just locked up the little monk.”
Hearing this, I was a little surprised. The boy in the bamboo hat was a Buddhist cultivator. Although he was a bit eccentric in his words and actions, he didn't look like someone who would steal things.
Xia Wenhou continued: "Okay, if you are not tired, I will take you to see Qiao Ling now!"
I nodded.
Xia Wenhou didn't talk nonsense. He nodded to the four animal-faced guards next to him: lion, tiger, leopard, and wolf. Those four people also performed hand gestures at the same time. As a result, I found that there were several spiritual powers around us.
There was a surge, and then everything went dark before our eyes.
When the light returned to our eyes, we were already deep in a huge garden. There were five people standing in this garden, three of whom I knew, it was Zhang Ting and two of her men.
I didn't know the other two people. There was a big man, wearing a black robe embroidered with golden lotus flowers. The man's face was very clean, without any stubble, and he looked very handsome. Next to the man stood a
The woman also has a tattoo of the word "prison" and a strange curse mark on her neck.
That woman didn't wear a veil, and she looked very good-looking. It's not an exaggeration to describe her as charming.
Needless to say, the only man there is probably the prisoner.
Seeing us appear, Qiao Ling smiled at us and said, "Brother Xia, do you have anything important to do when you come here unexpectedly? What do the children you have with you do? There are also those lying paralyzed on the ground.
What happened to that one?"
Xia Wenhou smiled and said: "Brother Qiuling is laughing. The one on the ground was punished a little by me because he made some mistakes just now. As for these children, brother Qiuling should have known their origins and who they are.
Why did you come?"
Qiu Ling smiled and said, "Is it because of that little monk?"
After saying that, Qiao Ling looked towards me, and Zhang Ting also smiled at me. Although her smile was not clearly visible under the veil, I could vaguely sense a hint of ridicule.
I also paid my respects to Qiuling, and then I said: "The king of Qiuling, can you allow me to meet that boy in the bamboo hat? If possible, I also hope that the king of Qiuling can open up and let him go. He
I will definitely thank the Lord Qi Ling in the future."
Qiu Ling smiled and said, "Thank me? What do you want to thank me for?"
I asked Qiuling: "What does the ruler of Qiuling want?"
Qiu Ling smiled and said, "That's such a big statement. You're asking me what I want. Can you get what I want for me?"
I didn't say anything, and Qiu Ling continued: "What I want is the life of the Holy God of our third race. Can you get it for me?"
Before I could speak, Qianyingjun stood up and said: "Although I can't guarantee that I can help you kill him, I swear to you that I will do my best to kill him. This is my lifelong wish.
"
Qiu Ling looked at Qian Yingjun, then frowned slightly and said, "I know you. I heard that you killed two Holy Law practitioners in the next session. Because there was no evidence left, the Holy God could not directly accuse you, so he
They launched some conspiracy to assassinate you, but you also directly ran away from the third race to escape. Your name is Qianyingjun, right?"
Qianying Jun said: "Yes, Lord Qi Ling."
The prisoner continued: "Don't be so polite to me. I admire you very much. According to seniority, I am still your uncle. If your aunt hadn't been thinking about doing things for the Holy God and wanted to poison me, I would
I would not kill her when I was escaping. Although I have no feelings for her, I am not a person who would attack a woman easily. It was her husband who wanted to harm me."
Qianyingjun said "Ah" and then didn't say anything, probably because he didn't know how to answer Qiao Ling's words.
Qiao Ling continued: "I have only married once in name, and that was your aunt, so you can still call me uncle now. If you are willing, you can stay in the Utopia and help me. I can help you and help you as soon as possible.
To improve your own strength, when you return to the third race in the future and inherit the throne, we will join hands to kill that bullshit Holy God."
Before Qianyingjun could speak, Qianling continued, "If you agree to stay with me, then I will release that young monk to your companion."
I can feel that Mr. Qianying is not willing to stay with Qiuling, because someone has predicted for him that only by following me can he successfully survive all disasters. If he stays with Qiuling, he may die.
.
So Qianyingjun hesitated.
I was just about to open my mouth to say a few words for Qian Yingjun, but Qiao Ling said to me: "Shut up now!"
I was stunned for a moment and felt angry, but in the end I didn't dare to say another word. After all, with our current strength, we are like ants in front of the prisoner.
Qianyingjun hesitated for a while, then nodded to Qiuling and said: "Master Qiuling, I can promise you that you will give me two years of free time and let me do something. After two years, I will
Can I come back here to find you by myself?"
Qiao Ling paused and said, "Two years, yes, but there will be a condition for me to release the young monk. If you want me to release him, you must defeat my subordinate guarding the cell."
"His strength is not very strong, he is just a top-notch third-level person." (To be continued)
