The female city lord immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty has a broad mind, deep blessings, and a great aspiration to save the world. Every move and every move involves the fate of the people. If you don't want to get to know a hero in the world, I can't invite you to come to the house to talk about it.
?”
Liu Shuzhu looked slightly stunned, his face turned red for a moment, and he was speechless.
It seems that speaking is really a skill. The other party is not flattering him, it is simply blowing him to the sky!
Could it be that inviting him into the residence was purely for the convenience of paying homage at a close distance...
"Cough, cough."
Liu Shuzhu coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.
This female city lord dressed casually said something that made Liu Shuzhu blush, but her expression was extremely natural, just like the smart man next to her. It seemed that the two of them were like this.
'Humility' is not something done deliberately, but is like a state of mind, a kind of modesty and casualness, showing a weak attitude.
Seeing that Liu Shuzhu was very embarrassed, she continued: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we invite you here just to inquire about the situation in some ancient places. Today is a good day for mortals to travel, and it is rare to have so many distinguished guests here.
girl and
Young Master, I also want to ask you about some of your experiences in the ancient place where Buddhas are buried. Please don’t take offense if there is anything abrupt or presumptuous..." At this point, she thought that the identities of the two young men and women had not been introduced yet.
"This girl is..."
"Rose." The young woman exhaled in anger and answered directly, "Rose." She took the lead in announcing her name.
Her attitude is indifferent, and as her name suggests, she is like a slowly blooming rose. Her speech and behavior are unmodified, but she makes people feel very elegant and noble, and there is nothing arrogant or rude about her.
Liu Shuzhu knew that although roses were good, they had thorns.
"I'm at Xiajiang Yulin."
The man in black did not wait for the female city lord to continue his introduction. He stood up again and bowed slightly to Liu Shuzhu.
"The reincarnation of the Bodhisattva is very talented, but he can write a good verse."
Liu Shuzhu also stood up with him and returned the greeting: "It's graffiti that makes people laugh." He also apologized to the female city lord.
On a whim, he left a message on the city wall, but he forgot that this place was someone else's territory. Every time the Mortal Crossing was rebuilt, those two lines of verse had to be re-engraved. It must be very important to them. His behavior was somewhat rude. Female
The city lord said he didn't mind.
The young men and women each introduced their identities, but Liu Shuzhu had never heard of them.
He tilted his head slightly, and Yichen shook his head secretly. He had never heard of any major force in the Western Desert having such two successors.
The Lord of Qingshan City seemed to have slightly guessed Jiang Yulin's identity, but he was hesitant to speak, and did not use the secret method of sound transmission to inform Liu Shuzhu. The latter only said in his heart that the current Lord of Qingshan City was not good at cultivation, and he was afraid of spreading the news.
The sound was intercepted by the female city lord and others, so he remained calm, but there was no way to know that the Qingshan City lord was actually afraid of the bald old man!
They want to inquire about the situation in the ancient burial ground of Buddha.
This kind of thing can be said, but it cannot be said!
Green Lantern, Heavenly Monument, Junhun, Huifan... everything is important, it all depends on what purpose the other party has.
Liu Shuzhu pondered slightly, while Jiang Yulin had a cheerful temperament and spoke directly to comfort him: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that we are definitely not bad people, and naturally we do not have evil thoughts in our hearts. If it is inconvenient for you to tell us, we will not force others to do anything;
Even if we say it, we will definitely keep it a secret and won't talk about it everywhere. And... we won't ask about anything that is too secretive." For the strong people in the outside world, what is the most secretive thing is of course the whereabouts of the Qingdeng Buddha.
!
Because the powerful people in the world are more concerned about whether their life span can be extended, but the Soul of the World-Destroying King is probably too lazy to care about it. All living beings are ignorant and their hearts are old. Not everyone is as 'stupid' as he is.
Obsession can lead to a rage, even risking life and death!
When Jiang Yulin said this, it made Liu Shuzhu look very petty.
Liu Shuzhu then laughed loudly and said: "Young Master Jiang has seen someone outside. If you don't mind, you should call me 'brother'. It sounds comfortable. In the ancient burial place of Buddha, everyone in the world has seen many things with their own eyes. There is nothing to hide, little brother."
You should say everything you know and say it to the end.”
It would be strange to say everything.
The meaning of this sentence is: I will say what I can say, and don’t blame me for lying to you if you can’t.
Ye Qiangwei and Jiang Yulin seemed to be about the same age as Liu Shuzhu, a few years older than him, and their cultivation levels were not necessarily worse than his. Both of them only told their names, but neither of them reported their origins or sect!
They didn't say anything, and Liu Shuzhu simply didn't ask.
To avoid asking about the terrifying background, the other party is backed by a big force. Once they ask for a green lantern from him, it would be easier to do it directly regardless of who the other party is, and there won't be too many scruples in my heart.
Liu Shuzhu said: "But... I have two questions here, kid. Please ask the city lord to answer them first, otherwise I will always be worried about them and be distracted, so I may not be able to concentrate on answering your questions."
"Oh?" The female city lord was still very casual, "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you say so."
"The first question is about the two lines of ancient characters on the city wall." Liu Shuzhu murmured and repeated, "Immortals will not cross, mortals will not cross, mortals will not return, and the dead will return. Who did those two lines of verses come from?
Can the city lord tell you the truth?"
The female city lord seemed to have expected that he would ask this question. She smiled and shook her head and said, "This really stumped me. After so many years, every time the city was rebuilt, those two lines of ancient characters would be re-engraved.
It is a custom for mortals to cross the border, but as for the origin and origin of the two verses, it has long been distorted..." But what she didn't expect was that Liu Shuzhu interrupted her decisively.
"lie."
There were only two words, but his tone was very firm. Liu Shuzhu's demeanor remained unchanged, making it impossible for the female city lord to continue speaking. On the surface, he seemed indifferent, but in his heart, he was not sure how the female city lord would react after hearing his words.
Yu secretly communicated with the rat soul and was ready to fight at any time!
Because if the female city lord and others have bad intentions and these polite words are all disguised, then they might fall out if they are interrupted by his suddenness.
Several people in the hall were slightly stunned. They didn't expect Liu Shuzhu to speak so openly.
Even if the female city lord is lying, it means that it is not convenient for her to tell you the truth and it is difficult for her to refuse your question. It doesn’t look good to directly point it out like this, right?
The female city lord stared at Liu Shuzhu for a long time with a smile in her eyes. She was indeed lying.
After a moment of silence, she was neither angry nor embarrassed, but said: "Your Majesty's quick words make people feel ashamed. There are some things...even I can't say directly. I can only tell you, these two lines of verse,
Indeed, as you guessed in front of the city gate, it came from a great ancient man... The most I can tell you is this, and please don’t blame me for this."
Liu Shuzhu exclaimed: "How amazing is that?"
The female city lord smiled and asked, "How great is the Great Wish Bodhisattva?" After hearing what she meant, she actually compared that man's merits with the Great Wish Bodhisattva.
In the hearts of Monk Miaolin and others, it was inevitable that they would have a lot of admiration for Liu Shuzhu!
He really got it right. The two verses on the city wall were probably written by ancient sages and Bodhisattvas!
Seeing that the other party refused to speak frankly, even admitting this was extremely reluctant. Liu Shuzhu probably knew it in his heart. Even if he wanted to know more about the past of Mortal Crossing and the deeds of that ancient man, he couldn't ask anymore. If he asked the other party, he would inevitably
I won’t say much.
He quickly changed his words and said, "No, no, I was too reckless earlier."
The female city lord nodded and waited for him to ask his second question.
However, the second question also made her and others not expect that what Liu Shuzhu was thinking was really difficult to fathom.
Liu Shuzhu stood up and bowed very politely to the Dunmin man who was leading the way next to the female city lord.
"May I ask your name again?"
This is his second question.
This time, even his own people didn’t know what kind of medicine Liu Shuzhu Gourd sold.
There were two opportunities in total. Instead of asking Mortal Du about his past, he asked about the name of that 'servant'!
On the way, he had already asked once, but the other party refused to tell, so why ask again.
The man was also very surprised. He didn't expect that Liu Shuzhu didn't care about his cultivation and identity at all, and bowed to him in return for his previous gift.
Liu Shuzhu's idea was different from everyone else's.
Although this humble man's cultivation is low, the words coming out of his mouth are not like what an acquired warrior can say!
Moreover, the four people in the hall are not mediocre people. On such an occasion, after the man came in, he did not take the initiative to bow and leave, but calmly stood beside the female city lord, humbly and always with a sense of honor and disgrace.
shock.
The young woman who called herself "Wild Rose" stood up first when a group of people entered the hall. At first, Liu Shuzhu thought she was targeting him, but when she reported her name to Liu Shuzhu, she did not get up. So her previous actions were very likely
It's not aimed at him. If it's not aimed at him, after counting and counting, there are only the Lord of Qingshan City and the Six Monks around, and Wild Rose doesn't even look at them, then it must be aimed at this man who is not good-looking and whose cultivation is even worse!
Since Wild Rose was so polite to him, how could he be an ordinary servant?
When the female city lord introduced the identities of the young men and women, she first introduced Wild Rose, and then Jiang Yulin. This order is enough to show that Wild Rose's identity, or the power behind her, should be stronger than Jiang Yulin's! Casual
Since a woman is the lord of a city, she should not make the mistake of not prioritizing.
Of course, the more important reason was that the words the man said to Liu Shuzhu on the way were worthy of his bow.
The supreme master of martial arts is also a mortal, and mortals are mortal!
The man heard the words and replied: "The little one has no name at all. His name was given by the elders. Since the Lord asked again, he had to tell the truth. Because the little one grew up in this desert and spent his whole life doing nothing.
So I took the word 'mo' and named it 'wuwei', and the younger one was named Mo Wuwei."
"... Mo Wuwei, Mo Wuwei." Liu Shuzhu turned around and sat back in his chair, "What a good name." Then he said, "If you have any questions, please ask. I've finished asking."
