"..." Guan Fangyi still looked in disbelief, but in the end she slowly accepted the reality.
As she had guessed before, why could a mirror impose so many conditions on Xiaoyue Pavilion?
Just like Niu Youdao said, why would that guy put so many conditions on others?
These two reasons were enough for her to believe it. She tried to ask: "How come you have this thing? Did Dong Guo Haoran really give it to you?"
Niu Youdao nodded and said with emotion: "It's fate! Back then, Dongguo Haoran was seriously injured and came to our village on his deathbed. He was no longer able to return to the Shangqing Sect. He happened to meet me and accepted me as his disciple.
You probably want me to send this bronze mirror back to the Shangqing Sect."
Guan Fangyi, who slowly recovered from the shock, joked: "Who would have thought that when I met a treacherous person, I didn't hand over the things to the Shangqing Sect."
Niu Youdao squinted: "You look at me like this?"
Guan Fangyi: "Isn't it?"
Niu Youdao shook his head: "There are some things that outsiders don't know. You just don't know the inside story."
Guan Fangyi probed: "Is it because the Shangqing Sect put you under house arrest and treated you harshly, so you didn't turn it in?"
Niu Youdao still shook his head and said with a somewhat reminiscence look: "It's not what you think. Maybe the thing is too important, maybe Dongguo Haoran has no confidence in other people in the Shangqing Sect. Dongguo Haoran solemnly warned me before he died,
He said that the things could only be given to his senior brother Tang Mu and could never fall into the hands of others. After I arrived at Shangqing Sect, I repeatedly asked to see Tang Mu, the head of the Shangqing Sect, and wanted to give the things to him, but Tang Mu was also dead.
I was in a dilemma at the time. Handing over the things would be a violation of Dongguo Haoran's will. It seemed inappropriate not to hand them over. I kept hesitating. It was not until later that I found out that I was under house arrest by the Shangqing Sect. I wanted to follow the Qingzong.
It was difficult for the senior management to communicate well. They had no idea what was going on outside. They were so blind that they dared not act rashly. They kept me under house arrest in the Peach Blossom Spring for five years without telling me. Later, they actually wanted to kill me. Haha! Do you think it was fate that played a role in me?
"
"That's it!" Guan Fangyi nodded thoughtfully. She could also understand Dong Guo Haoran's behavior. It should not be known to everyone in the Shangqing Sect. It is reasonable for only Tang Mu to know about it.
. He asked again: "For people like you, please don't say that you haven't studied this thing privately. Tell me, what is so strange about this thing and why is it called the first of the eight treasures? I think it's quite ordinary."
"
Niu Youdao did not tell the truth this time, "I have studied it, but I can't find any clues. I have studied it again and again, but it is an ordinary mirror. I don't know why it is called the first of the eight treasures."
Guan Fangyi sneered: "Based on your brain, if things have been in your hands for so long, you can still dig out something?"
Niu Youdao shook his head: "Excellent. You might as well think about it, if this thing is really the artifact of the Qin State, and it has been in the hands of the Qin State for so many years, how could the Qin State not use manpower and material resources to study it? The thing is in the Qin State.
The hand has never played its due role. There are only two possibilities. One is that you can't crack the secret like me, and the other is that it will have no effect if you crack it."
Guan Fangyi was silent. Thinking about it, it was impossible for Niu Youdao to defeat the power of the Qin State. The Qin State could not achieve anything famous, and it was certainly impossible for Niu Youdao to do so.
She curled her lips and said teasingly: "If you let me know that you have this thing in your hand, aren't you afraid that I will shake it out?"
Niu Youdao suddenly looked at her very seriously, staring into her eyes.
The four eyes looked at each other for a while, and Guan Fangyi also looked a little uncomfortable, "Why are you looking at me like this? Do you look good?"
Niu Youdao also spoke seriously, "I am sincere to you."
Guan Fangyi was stunned for a moment and didn't know what she understood. She suddenly became angry and kicked out, "Go to hell!"
Niu Youdao dodged and turned away happily.
"Stop!" Guan Fangyi called him, stepped forward and asked: "Xiaoyue Pavilion killed Black Mudan, can you really hand over such an important thing to them?"
This topic was relatively heavy, and it was hard for Niu Youdao to laugh anymore. "If you don't leave it to them, do you have the ability to stop them, or do I have the ability to stop them? Facing such a behemoth, I now have the ability to help Black Peony."
Revenge? They suffered a loss in a battle with Qi State, so they will not let me go. Now I am the only one who suffers a loss. Only if I pay a price that satisfies them can I calm their anger. I give up my things because I don’t want to.
You become the second Black Peony, and you don’t want others around you to follow in Black Peony’s footsteps. Since you have followed me, I must bear the corresponding responsibilities, otherwise who will work hard for me?”
Guan Fangyi was silent for a moment and sighed: "When you fought with them, you should have known that they would not let you go. If you had known this, why did you do it in the first place?"
Niu Youdao replied to her: "You follow me because you want to be better, not to be worse. Everyone's wishes are also my responsibility. If everyone can't see hope, who will follow me? I can't do it because
If you are afraid of something, you should be timid. Don't stop moving forward because of it. Three steps forward and two steps back. At least you are still moving forward. Maybe it is not a step back, but just two steps to the side to temporarily force the edge."
"When things have reached this point, I can't let them stop unless I pay a corresponding price and satisfy them. If the person is gone, what's the use of keeping this thing? As long as the person is still there, everything is possible. They
Now that I've been targeted, we can't keep this thing if we don't have the strength. When we have the strength, we will have a chance to get it back. Only when you give it up, you will gain it. If you can't let it go, you won't be able to free up your hands for other things. If you let it go, you won't be able to use it for other things.
Only then can I pick it up again. Besides, there is no use in keeping this thing in my hands now. Handing it over can maximize the benefits, so why not? The world is difficult, the situation is complicated, and if the burden is too heavy, we are too weak to carry it.
If you can't help it, you should cut it off quickly when necessary. If you want to keep all the benefits in your own hands, you are courting death."
Guan Fangyi sighed: "This thing is too valuable. It would be unavoidable to hand it over like this... You also said just now that even the Qin State may not be able to crack it. Can we make a fake one and give it to them?"
Niu Youdao flatly refused, "No! No one knows if Xiaoyue Pavilion has a way to identify the authenticity of this thing. It would be too risky to give a fake one to the other party. Once the other party sees through it, the consequences will be disastrous!"
There was another more important reason why Guan Fangyi was not told when he handed the things to the other party, and that was the monkey.
He knows Monkey too well. Monkey will not ignore him when he encounters difficulties. He will definitely find a way to contact Bai Yunjian and think of helping him in another way.
Monkey has been around him for so long, and there are too many people who know Monkey. If he is not exposed now, it does not mean that he will not be exposed in the future. Frequent contact with Baiyunjian will definitely arouse the vigilance of Xiaoyue Pavilion, and they will thoroughly investigate Monkey's background. Maybe he will be exposed now.
Exposed, the situation is too dangerous.
Once the identity of the monkey is revealed, Xiaoyue Pavilion will naturally know that it is him.
If a monkey falls into the hands of others, other people may not kill the monkey, but it does not necessarily happen if it falls into the hands of Shao Pingbo and Xiaoyue Pavilion. Not to mention the grudges between Shao Pingbo and Xiaoyue Pavilion, we can also put aside the other festivals with Xiaoyue Pavilion.
, he killed 300 people from Xiaoyue Pavilion at sea.
The last condition he made to Xiaoyue Pavilion, that his people should not be touched rashly, was to prepare a way out for the monkey!
Of course, Monkey is not stupid either. He doesn't know what measures Monkey will take to protect himself, and he can't reveal Monkey's identity to Xiaoyue Pavilion now.
He couldn't say anything about the monkey's decision. He could give the monkey freedom, but that didn't mean he could let the monkey be in danger. He had to secretly create a tolerant environment for the monkey. No matter what danger the monkey encountered, he had to find a way to protect it as much as possible.
Monkey's life!
Since he said this, Guan Fangyi no longer cares about it, but she is still curious about one thing, "Why do you want to help Linghu Qiu escape?"
Niu Youdao: "After all, I'm a sworn sworn brother, so I don't have such a murderous intention. When I let him be caught, I didn't intend to take his life. If I can give him a way to live, there is no need to kill him. It's all right."
I myself, after all, have the reputation of killing my sworn brothers. It doesn’t sound good to me. People’s hearts cannot be ignored when I come out to hang out. Losing people’s hearts is a dead end! I can’t do Shao Pingbo’s killing of his mother and brother. There are some things.
The only one who should be wronged is myself. If I can easily kill even my sworn brothers, wouldn’t it make you feel chilling?"
"Stop fooling me, have you done enough ruthless things?" Guan Fangyi couldn't help rolling her eyes and shaking her fan lightly, "I'm afraid he may not accept your love."
Niu Youdao shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "He wanted to harm me, so I let him live, which is the end of my kindness. If he doesn't appreciate it, I can't do anything about it. After leaving Xiaoyue Pavilion, I can't use Xiaoyue Pavilion's power.
He can't do anything to me. If he really can't think about it, he will keep repeating it again and again. There is a bottom line in everything, so he'd better not force me!"
Just as he was talking, Uncle Chen came back, and the two stopped talking.
"I didn't follow him. There was someone in the mountain forest where he went to meet him. He rode a large bird and left directly. He couldn't follow him anymore." Chen Bo reported, looking quite guilty. He also knew that Black Mudan was trying to cover up.
Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi boarded the ship but were killed by the people from Xiaoyue Pavilion, so they wanted to do their best.
Guan Fangyi didn't say anything, and Niu Youdao waved his hand and said: "Uncle Chen, it's okay. Since the people from Xiaoyue Pavilion dare to come, they must be prepared. How can they be followed so easily? Don't worry about what is expected.
"
…
In Fufang Garden, Dugujing quickly entered a pavilion.
Yu Cang, who was waiting inside, stopped and asked eagerly: "How is it?"
Dugujing replied: "I got it." She took out two pieces of paper from her sleeve, spread them out and handed them over. They were the rubbings of the front and back of the business mirror.
Yu Cang took a look at it, quickly walked to the side of the case, sat down, and opened the book on the case.
The book looks old, but it seems to contain many things and there are many traces of seals.
Turning to a page and spreading it out, the old and sallow paper had two rubbing patterns similar to those of a business mirror.
Yu Cang took the newly acquired drawing paper and carefully compared the rubbing patterns on the old drawing paper.
