However, although Zhang Xu was arrested, this guy had a very stubborn and bad character. Before Fang Linyan and the others could take any action, he started yelling and swearing. When he got tired of scolding, he came over with sinister eyes without saying a word.
Judging by the numerous scars on his body, torture would probably have no effect on him.
However, Zhang Xu's reaction at this time had already been predicted by Fang Linyan, and he already had a countermeasure in mind, and said directly:
"Thieve Liu's pursuers should be here soon. Let's take him away first, and then deal with him properly when it's safe."
The five of them identified the direction, and then let Max drag Zhang Xu and walk along the trail towards the mountain. Fang Linyan began to mention some anecdotes intentionally or unintentionally, and took the initiative to find the goat road:
"Hey, it's been a while since we left for the war. Do you miss your family?"
Goat Xin said, "We have only been in this world for two hours. How can we start talking about homesickness? By the way, boss, there is a sexy and beautiful high priest in your house. It's really like we haven't seen each other for a day."
It's just like three autumns, so it's appropriate to think about it.
However, the goat could only think about these words in his heart, and he would definitely say:
"I still think about it."
Fang Linyan sighed melancholy and said:
"I'm thinking about it too. My father kept coughing when he went out. I don't know if he's getting better."
"Hey, if my father hadn't fallen into the trap of a minor official back then and was still a treasurer, I wouldn't have been driven to be this killer."
Now that Fang Linyan said so, as a qualified flatterer, Goat immediately asked with interest:
"Oh? How did my uncle get plotted by a petty official?"
Fang Linyan said:
"My father was elected as the treasurer of the bank because of his integrity. Unexpectedly, this was a trap set by criminals and evil officials. In just a few months, they colluded to steal two taels of silver from the bank.
One hundred taels, this shortfall directly caused my father to resign due to corruption, and he has to be responsible for making up for this shortfall."
Goat Wonder Road:
"The bank must be heavily guarded. How could it be stolen by collusion?"
Fang Linyan said:
"According to the regulations, the clerks who enter the bank to carry silver must take off their clothes and be naked. Before leaving the bank, they must open their mouths for inspection and jump on the spot three times before leaving. Logically speaking, this method is very complete, but still
A loophole was taken advantage of."
Speaking of this, Fang Linyan sighed and said:
"I later made inquiries and found out that the positions of minor officials who carried the treasury were often hereditary. These minor officials began to exercise their posterior acupoints when they were teenagers. At first, they inserted half of a tachyon into the anus.
In the middle, keep jumping.”
"Then slowly add two tachyons, then three tachyons, until you can jump normally with a handful of tachyons cut off from it as if nothing happened."
"These traitors used this method to steal two hundred taels of silver in a short period of time and successfully framed the case, which brought my family into ruin!"
When Fang Linyan said this, he sighed, and the rest of the people were comforting him. Of course, this was all superficial. In fact, the team channel was already filled with heated conversations.
Goat: Boss, you are very good at making up stories!
Max: I almost thought it was true.
Fang Linyan: It's true, but I got it from a historical record. I also added later that all petty officials who do this will have a miserable life in their later years. They often suffer from red feces and bleed from the back door to death.
Crespo: Did you tell this story to Zhang Xu on purpose?
Fang Linyan: Yes, this guy must have a big secret. If the secret is a oral message, there is nothing we can do about it.
But if it is a real thing, he has been caught by Liu Bei's people before and should have been searched many times. Since it has not been found yet, there is a high probability that it is hidden in his body.
However, considering that magic exists in this world, since Liu Bei's professional jailers have not searched for it, the chance of success if we search for him is probably not high.
Therefore, I deliberately told a story to deceive him. If this guy really has a secret in his heart, then let it ferment for a while. There will naturally be a way to make him reveal his true colors. Of course, you must also do it in time.
Cooperate with me...
So after the group of people had walked away for about ten minutes, the vulture suddenly turned back and said with some vigilance:
"There seems to be something wrong. Someone seems to be following us."
Then the vulture quickly chased back and quickly disappeared behind a huge rock that blocked the view.
But a few seconds later, there was a scream.
After hearing this scream, the rest of the people immediately became unsteady. Goat and Crespo immediately frowned and said:
"Let's go! Something seems wrong."
The two of them rushed out immediately.
Faced with this unexpected situation, Fang Linyan glanced back with a serious face, and immediately said to Max in a deep voice:
"Break his legs."
At this time, Max was walking forward with Zhang Xu on his side. Hearing this, he was stunned and said:
"What?"
Fang Linyan said coldly:
"I suspect that Liu Thief's people have caught up with him in large numbers. How can we care about him now? Just break his legs! Where can he escape?"
Zhang Xu knew something was going to be bad as soon as he heard Fang Linyan's words. Sure enough, the next second, he heard a crisp sound of "kacha", and then felt a heartbreaking pain in his right leg. He was so resilient.
I couldn't help but let out a scream!
Max broke one of Zhang Xu's legs without saying a word, then threw him aside and said urgently:
"We'd better hurry up and provide support. Where can this lame man escape to?"
After finishing speaking, Max and Fang Linyan quickly rushed forward and disappeared into the dense forest, leaving only Zhang Xu, who had broken his leg, lying alone on the ground next to him.
After Zhang Xu's right leg was interrupted, it was thrown out smoothly, and the injured leg happened to be pressed again. This time, he almost escaped from the pain. After a while, he regained his strength and felt
His eyes were turning black, and his forehead was covered with dense sweat.
At this time, Zhang Xu realized that he had really left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den again!
What's even worse is that the ferocious beasts in this tiger's den seem to be more cunning than the jackals in the wolf's den.
Zhang seemed to have turned a deaf ear to the previous conversation between this group of people, but in fact he listened to every word and even felt chills running down his spine.
Yes, when the other party told the gang of slick little officials how to steal money, Zhang Xu's heartbeat accelerated at least ten times, because although he was not so dirty as to hide things in the back door, his method of hiding things
It’s really the same strain.
Zhang Xu was very scared at the time. What would happen if this group of people drew parallels and thought of himself from the clerks who stole money?
To be honest, Zhang Xu is not afraid of death because he has the belief to despise death, but what he is afraid of now is that he cannot complete the tasks entrusted to him, then he is the sinner!
At this time, everything was quiet. Only the distant shouts of killing could be clearly heard. However, Zhang Xu knew very well that no matter which side decided the winner, his final fate would not be better.
The group of people fighting are all tigers and wolves who eat people without spitting out bones!
Of course, people's memories are selective. When Zhang Xu was feeling sad and angry, he completely forgot about the clothes he was wearing. The wheat cakes he just ate were all stolen from him by killing an innocent woodcutter.
.
Since Zhang Xu himself treats the common people like grass and tramples on them like dirt, then he shouldn't blame those who are stronger than him for bullying the weak and trampling on his will and dignity at will.
After a mental battle, Zhang Xu took a deep breath. Fang Linyan's words about "silver hidden in the human body" echoed in his ears repeatedly, which made him feel extremely uneasy!
So I checked again that no one was around, and there were not even a few birds in the trees nearby. It seemed that there was only one crow here, so I simply reached out and unbuttoned my shirt.
It can be seen that there is a bloody wound on Zhang Xu's chest, which looks like he was hit by a knife.
He gritted his teeth and reached out to dig into the wound. He felt extremely painful and his face was contorting. However, the movements of his fingers became bigger and bigger, and finally he pulled out a pea-sized piece.
bead.
The bead was black at first, but after Zhang Xu played with it for a few seconds, it gradually turned aqua blue.
Although it was dug out from the wound of the Flesh Mold Lake, there was still a beautiful glimmer of light on it, and not a trace of blood was stained on it.
The look on Zhang Xu's face as he held the bead could be said to be full of piety, and he was still mumbling to himself, which sounded like he was saying to obey the authority in urgent matters and not to blame anyone.
Then he hesitated for a moment, started to recite the incantation, and then blew out a breath and sprayed it on the bead.
After this breath came out, the beads became more and more radiant and sparkling, as if they had been carefully maintained. However, Zhang Xu looked extremely sluggish, and suddenly aged ten years.
It turns out that under normal circumstances, this bead requires human energy to be nourished. Once it is left away from a person for more than a cup of tea, it will be damaged.
Therefore, the breath of "sweet rain" that Zhang Xu had just exerted was specifically blessed on it, and it would be no problem for it to leave the human body for ten days and a half.
Of course, the cost of using this breath is to severely damage Zhang Xu's vitality and even damage his lifespan.
Zhang Xu reluctantly picked up the bead, then wrapped it in leaves, gritted his teeth, then inserted it into the gap between the roots of a tree next to him, and sprinkled a layer of soil on top.
A few fallen leaves to make it more natural.
After Zhang Xu thought about it, he used a stone to draw a diagonal cross on the tree trunk above. In this way, he would be prepared to confirm the memory model in the future.
After careful identification, Zhang Xu felt that the cross he drew was still not clear enough, so he wanted to make it up again, but just when he picked up the stone and wanted to implement his idea, a voice suddenly sounded next to him:
"You are really in a good mood. You just broke a leg, but you still have the time to admire this crooked-necked tree?"
As soon as the sound sounded, Zhang Xu was so excited that he almost jumped up, but he forgot that his legs were broken, and he immediately touched the wound. He lay on the ground in pain for a long time before he recovered. When he turned around, he realized that it was
Vulture.
At this moment, he could be said to be terrified, fearing that his little move would be discovered.
Of course, Zhang Xu was also yelling in his heart, "Are you a ghost? Why don't you make any sound when you walk?"
Fortunately, Zhang Xu discovered at this time that this guy didn't seem to pay attention to the tree after he finished speaking, so he felt a little relieved and hurriedly gritted his teeth and changed the subject:
"Didn't you say that there are pursuers coming?"
At this time, the grass nearby moved, but Fang Linyan also came out, stared at Zhang Xu and said:
"You just killed a spy. What secrets did you have that made Liu Thief pursue you?"
Zhang Xu immediately fell silent.
Fang Linyan had a sneer at the corner of his mouth and quietly gave the vulture a look. The vulture immediately walked to the tree and looked up and down:
"When I came back just now, I saw this guy staring here. I don't know if he wanted to leave a mark for those people to follow."
Zhang Xu felt a lot of comfort when he heard what the vulture said. However, when he saw Fang Linyan walking towards the crooked-neck tree and looking up and down, his heart was hanging again, fearing that he would remain silent again.
What should I do if someone exposes me?
So he could only grit his teeth and say:
"Liu Thief's people came to me because there were folk rumors that there was a treasure here, and I happened to be there, so I was caught by them."
Hearing the word "treasure", Fang Linyan and others quickly exchanged glances, knowing that this pretense was still useful, and they had indeed dug out a clue! However, we must also guard against the possibility of Zhang Xu talking nonsense.
So of course it's up to the goat to talk about this kind of thing.
Although Zhang Xu is quite knowledgeable, people in this era have never received relevant professional training. How can they withstand the cross-examination of a professional salesman like Goat? He just asked a few questions over and over again, and Zhang Xu broke into a cold sweat.
Straight up.
Not only that, Fang Linyan and Vulture also deliberately moved closer to the crooked-necked tree from time to time, which made Zhang Xu calm on the surface, but in fact he was already upset. Under such circumstances, he had no intention of making up anything.
?
So very quickly, Zhang Xu reluctantly told what he knew, just like squeezing out toothpaste.
It turns out that just in the past few nights, strange phenomena have appeared in the nearby mountain ridge Laolu Hill, with thunder and lightning and loud noises. In the early morning, there are flocks of birds gathering. There are nursery rhymes in the countryside, saying that a treasure has been born.
Then Zhang Xu's heart moved, and he felt that there really seemed to be a treasure, so he came to investigate.
However, after he arrived, he was accidentally caught by Liu Bei's army. He also found out that this guy was a spy of Cao's army, so he was tortured severely.
Next, Goat pressed him again and again, and Zhang Xu almost collapsed under the questioning. Finally, he reluctantly told the truth about the treasure. According to his speculation, the one who appeared in the world at night was either Huang Shigong or Zhang Jiaojin.
"Huang Shi Gong?" Fang Linyan was stunned when he heard the name, and suddenly thought of his previous experience in the dinosaur world.
To be honest, thanks to this woman Omi, she sacrificed this item in the end, destroying the last hope of the earthquake in one fell swoop. Otherwise, it is still unclear who will win in the end.
And the one-time item she took out at that time to summon thunder and lightning was Huang Shigong! At this moment, she suddenly heard its whereabouts from Zhang Xu's mouth, and Fang Linyan couldn't help but feel moved.
As for the "Zhangjiao scarf", although Fang Linyan doesn't know what it is, since this thing can be compared with Huang Shigong, its effect and power must not be much different.
Seeing that Zhang Xu could no longer deceive anything, Fang Linyan nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Okay, I believe you this time, let's go."
Zhang Xu looked a little indifferent on the surface, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and allowed Max to catch him and take him away.
However, just after being dragged out by Max for more than ten meters, Zhang Xu suddenly felt that something was wrong, because the rest of the people didn't follow him when they got up? And there was a strange whisper from behind!
Zhang Xu couldn't help but turn around, his vision suddenly went dark, and he felt that the whole world was about to collapse!
It turned out that the remaining bastards actually gathered next to the crooked-neck tree, and at this time, the goat who smiled mischievously suddenly let out a cheer:
"Found it, found it!"
Then he carefully took out a ball of something, which was the mysterious bead wrapped in leaves!
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xu felt that his heart was broken. There seemed to be a raging anger burning in his chest. A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth with a "pop", and then he passed out directly.
But now that the key thing has been found, who the hell cares about Zhang Xu's mood?
The goat untied the leaves, and of course he found the blue bead. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what this thing was. The vulture went to investigate and found that the information he finally got was very sparse, but he
Still, the specific information was shared.
The Pearl of Friendship (Broken) (Legendary).
Explanation: It is a very rare and rare prop, produced on the coast of the East China Sea. If it is repaired properly, it will return to the list of artifacts in time.
How to use: Soak it in water for a day and night, drink it with water, it can strengthen the body, cure chronic diseases, and heal old wounds, which cannot be taken out of this world.
Once they saw the quality of this thing, the others were still calm. Crespo took a breath and said in shock:
"Legend!! Although this thing is broken, it is actually of legendary quality!!"
The vulture glanced at him and said with a knowing smile:
"Isn't it of legendary quality? Dan Ding, my friend."
