Lord of the Tricks

Chapter 124 Intimidation, Old Acquaintance (8k)

Regardless of whether what No. [-] said was true or false, Yu Ziqing did not dare to take it lightly.

Making No. [-] pay such a high price at least shows one thing, No. [-] is absolutely unable to handle it by himself.

This kind of decision is not like Qing Qing, Qing Qing has no worries about the future, even if the Dragon Clan finds some clues, it is pretending to be blind.

In addition, Qingqing herself is also cute, cute, and very sensible. Due to various reasons, Yu Ziqing brought him back.

As for what No. [-] said, he didn't dare to make a decision casually.

You can do whatever you want outside, but in Jinlan Mountain, it's completely different.

Yu Ziqing went downstairs and left.

Number One sat there alone, silent for a long time, and sighed faintly.

This was already the best way he could think of.

It is also the only way that he can do one thing without intervening in the whole process.

His son and daughter are still alive today because he borrowed the strength of the seventh floor when he settled them down.

Holding the power of Jinyiwei and the Seventh Floor Ring in his hand, he wanted to know who the other members were, and it might not be particularly easy.

It can be narrowed down to a certain range, but it is not particularly difficult.

He knew that No. [-] should be a member of the Shadow Department, and that No. [-] should have a connection with Bai Yang Xie Si.

I know which family the bastard No. [-] is running around, I also know which family No. [-] belongs to, and I know that No. [-] belongs to Jinlanshan.

He is very clear about who he can trust and who he can trust.

Even now that so many of his blood relatives have died, he doesn't dare to peek at them rashly, dare not touch them rashly, and he dare not use all the power he has on the surface.

If you move it, it will leave marks.

So when he knew that one of his children had been rescued by Xieci, he understood that Jinlan Mountain was his last hope.

He wouldn't naively think that no one would ever find out about the two remaining children.

If the four-eyed face can be found, it means that someone can still find it.

If there is no news about the four-eyed face, he will not do anything more, just pretend that he himself does not know that he still has those two children.

No matter how dangerous it is outside, it is not as dangerous as being his son. He does not contact, meet, or recognize him. He is already doing his best to eliminate the greatest danger.

Today, Jinlan Mountain is the safest place. Those who attack secretly, no matter how brainless they are, will never be so stupid. For the sake of the two children, they dared to break into Jinlan Mountain.

As long as those two children entered Jinlan Mountain, it would be equivalent to cutting off relations with him completely.

No matter who it is, even if they know about it, they won't be troublesome anymore.

Number one sat on the seventh floor for several hours, and left a message for number seven before leaving the seventh floor.

His consciousness returned to his body, and he sat there with his eyes closed.

He is a typical Gannan people. The customs and culture there since ancient times have already infiltrated the blood and soul of the people there. Clan, blood relatives, blood, and inheritance are the most important things.

Even if it is death, blood relatives must be left behind.

Even if you die, you must pass on your skills.

Therefore, in the Qiannan region, there are many families or sects that do not seem to be very strong, but have a long history.

When that kind of awareness and idea become the foundation of the body and the foundation of continuation, then everyone will maintain it.

He offered a one-year offer, not because he didn't want to offer a better offer, but because he felt that he might not survive a year.

Within a year, the Qianhuang might be out of customs, and the internal chaos of the Daqian, if it develops for another year, may reach the point where it is necessary to set things right.

That time is his death.

Song Chengyue thought a lot about why.

Why do we have to kill those who don't know anything.

After thinking about it, I came to the simplest conclusion.

It may not be hatred, it may not be offending many people, and it may have nothing to do with those superficial things.

Just because he sat in this position for too long.

He knows too much.

So much so that even if he didn't know a thing, someone would think he did.

There are too many people, seeing that he is still alive, they will have trouble sleeping and eating.

This is the fate of the commanders of the past dynasties.

After a long time, he closed his eyes and pressed all these thoughts to the bottom of his heart. When he opened his eyes again, he was still the arrogant Commander.

……

Yu Ziqing found compassion.

"Sweetie, there's something I want to ask you."

He had never asked before. Until just now, he didn't even know whether the child was a boy or a girl.

After all, exposing scars for no reason is purely cerebral palsy.

"Master?" Sister was a little puzzled.

"There is something going on now, I need to confirm with you, it may involve some things about you before."

"Young master, just ask, there is nothing you can't say." Si Cian immediately understood, she smiled and didn't take it seriously.

"When you were in Kuihou Kingdom, how did you get that little baby girl?"

"At that time, I was in a brothel and was still receiving various trainings. At that time, my piano teacher gave birth to a daughter.

I don't know where she came from, but in the Kuihou country, a woman who can have a skill but not be reduced to prostitution must be in a wealthy family.

According to the rules, we don't ask about the origin.

Later, when there was a war, some evil ways took the opportunity to enter the city and search for Zihe chariots.

Unfortunately, my piano teacher died. When she was dying, she entrusted her child to me.

Who is the father of the child has never been said, and he never said it until his death.

What happened next, the young master knows. "

After Xici finished speaking, she seemed to feel that it was not too detailed, so she recounted what she knew in detail from the beginning.

Yu Zi listened quietly, and probably understood that what Number One said was basically true.

In this kind of matter, the parties involved in the past are basically dead. Except for those who are still alive, it is impossible to know too much detail.

Now he probably guessed who No. [-] was.

He obviously has strength and power, but he only dares to deal with his relatives in this way. He is so careful, and he can't find a few people in the whole Daqian.

After chatting with Pity, Yu Ziqing found Lao Yang again and told the matter again.

After listening to the old sheep, he thought about it for a moment and sneered.

"Who else is there, Commander of Dagan Jinyiwei, Song Chengyue.

If these conditions are met, and if you will do this, who else is there besides Song Chengyue, a Gannan native?
If he comes to you, it proves that he has nowhere to go, and if he talks to you, it is tantamount to self-declaration. "

"The conditions he offered are very high, but I think it's a bit unbelievable. He is the commander of Jin Yiwei, and he will be forced to such a point?" Yu Ziqing was a little puzzled.

"A bad reputation is a bad reputation, but power is not fake.

In the whole campaign, not many people dare to provoke Song Chengyue.

Even the crown prince, he only dares to keep a respectful distance, and he will not offend if he is not close.

Who can push Song Chengyue to this point?

Are you really afraid that that guy will jump over the wall in a hurry? It's probably not difficult for that guy to go crazy and plan to kill the prince.

He must have felt that he was doomed to die anyway.

A guy who is not afraid of death and holds great power in his hands is like a mad dog. Who would dare to persecute him like this?
I don't understand. "

The old sheep frowned slightly, also thinking.

"Don't say you don't understand, I don't understand either.

But now someone is forcing him to jump over the wall in a hurry.

Judging from what you said, he himself knows that he will not live long.

The inside story of this matter feels a bit complicated. It must involve changes in the political situation in Dagan, so don't meddle casually.

As an outsider, I can tell that someone who dares to do such a thing with such confidence must have the acquiescence of Emperor Qian.

And it's a member of Jinyiwei.

Now it's not about the two kids at all.

Although you brought back those two children, we are not afraid, and no one will go crazy and continue to chase after them. "

"I understand, so I didn't talk at all, I just walked away.

I understand this, and Song Chengyue also understands this, so if other people know this, they will also understand this.

So, I felt something was wrong. "

"What?" the old sheep asked.

"It's so reasonable, even, why did you, Lao Yang, after you heard about this incident, immediately lock Song Chengyue in your first reaction?

how do you know

You can be so sure, will other people who know Song Chengyue better also be the same? "

"This..." Lao Yang's expression instantly became serious.

He knows that Yu Ziqing sometimes thinks differently from normal people, and sees problems from a different angle.

But Yu Ziqing will always give him a lot of inspiration.

Yeah, why is he so sure?

Is it because Song Chengyue is from the South?
The Gannan people as a whole are like this, but can he be sure that every Gannan person is like this?
Can he be sure that Song Chengyue is really like this?

After asking himself the question, the old sheep was suddenly at a loss.

He instinctively draws a conclusion from the accumulated information.

In other words, it is not called a conclusion, it is directly a fact that can be used.

This matter was also applied to the Commander of Jin Yiwei, he didn't think there was a problem, he thought it was normal, and it should be like this in fact.

After regaining his senses, Lao Yang suddenly felt a creepy feeling.

On the contrary, only someone like Yu Ziqing, who is completely unfamiliar with Song Chengyue, would ask that question.

Yu Ziqing watched the change in Lao Yang's eyes, and immediately understood that Lao Yang seemed to have noticed something was wrong.

The matter is shelved.

Yu Ziqing didn't plan to reply to Number One anymore.

He just felt terrible.

It is true that a person is complicated, Song Chengyue can be a notorious eagle dog, or a typical Gannan person.

But when a person like Lao Yang knows this, and even instinctively feels that this is normal.

Then this thing is not normal.

Because there is a big loophole in this matter.

According to the information he has learned, the most widely circulated information has been on the surface.

Song Chengyue had no wives, no concubines, no children, no father, no mother, and no worries.

So it doesn't matter if this guy is arrogant or domineering, as long as he sits in that position for a day, Emperor Qian will trust him.

Then, Song Chengyue has no weaknesses, he is the most perfect eagle dog.

In this case, then, Song Chengyue is a typical Gannan person, how did Lao Yang be so sure of this information?

For a typical Gannan person, as long as the family has surplus food, the most direct sign is that the population is thriving.

There are four elders at the top, wives and concubines at the middle, and groups of children at the bottom. This is typical.

In today's Qiannan area, the most intuitive way to judge whether a family is big or not, whether it is rich or powerful, is to ask how many children it has.

Although this kind of thing is biased, it can be spread the most, and it can reflect some problems to some extent.

Yu Ziqing turned his head and put the matter behind him.

He believed that what Song Chengyue said was true, but he didn't believe that it was just that, it had nothing to do with whether he was the commander or not.

Yu Ziqing is very busy now.

Practice subtle control, write down what comes to mind when you are free, and open all topics that you think are theoretically possible.

After opening the topic, how to turn the theory into reality has nothing to do with him.

Body training cannot be left behind. In order to complete the practice, one has to go to the abyss later to get some yellow and red sky demons that contain pure power.

The practice of Earth Fire Yang Dun is almost at the stage of cultivating into the viscera.

Moreover, in order to maintain the balance of the five elements in the internal organs, there is also a great tree-forming ceremony that needs to be practiced.

Lao Yang has already prepared the medium he needs.

It was a piece of dragon liver that was cut from the body of the evil dragon before.

The vitality contained in it is terrifyingly strong, so strong that even if the dragon is already dead, a part of its dragon liver can still maintain vitality.

Using this kind of thing as an introductory medium to practice magic formulas is more effective than finding an old tree demon that has survived for tens of thousands of years.

A piece of dragon liver from the ninth-rank dragon clan, he will never be able to find anything better in the future.

If he practiced in this way, his practice before the Embryo Realm was absolutely perfect and could not be more perfect.

Two months later, Yu Ziqing left Jinlan Mountain, called Lou Huai, and went to the crack in the abyss.

Both the yellow sky demon and the red sky demon are easy to catch.

Find a volcano, and you can catch two in one go if you are nearby.

……

Inside Jinlan Mountain, the old sheep went deep into the mountainside, all the way down.

The cultivation of Jinlan Mushrooms has not been going well, and the ground fire has been triggered, flowing under the Jinlan Mountain, which can only make the Jinlan Mushrooms germinate.

All kinds of conditions are met, and the grown-up Jinlan mushroom only has a thick stipe, and the edible mushrooms on it can be used as elixir, but they are pitifully small, not as thick as the stipe.

This is already excellent news, at least it can grow a little bit, and it can continue to reproduce, so that he won't be able to plant even if he wants to.

The old sheep cut off a small piece of dragon liver, which contained great vitality, and after it was minced, it was mixed with fertilizer and sprinkled into the brocade mushroom forest.

That huge vitality is enough to give birth to all things.

One after another, the brocade mushrooms drilled out of the soil, grew rapidly, and after growing to the size of a big tree, the mushroom caps at the top began to slowly unfold.

It quickly grew to its normal size.

But then, I saw that the fungus umbrella withered rapidly, and closed again like closing an umbrella.

The old sheep took the shape of a dragon, felt it quietly for a moment, then turned around and came to the back mountain.

Standing in front of the huge black stone of the Yuhua Tomb, he threw out a piece of dragon liver the size of a grain of rice. The vitality inside it quickly dissipated and was absorbed by the Yuhua Tomb.

The old sheep sighed and said in a good voice.

"No matter who you were in the past, I kindly advise you, if you still think about it, one day you will be able to recover in the future, whether it is a new life or a direct return.

Then you'd better not embarrass us now, and don't hold back.

It doesn't matter if you offend me, it doesn't even matter if you offend everyone in Jinlan Mountain except Ziqing.

But you must not push him into a hurry, otherwise, I won't be able to stop him.

Whether you have a little instinct or a little consciousness now, I think you know better than me how to make such a huge progress.

You are now in Jinlan Mountain, and the people in Jinlan Mountain are all using your strength to maintain their health.

And you can sleep peacefully here, recovering with the help of a larger earth energy, waiting for the future recovery.

This is a mutual win-win thing, you must not screw it up.

I was thinking before, why since the return of Jinlan Mountain, even though the conditions of the earth have been connected to the atmosphere, it is still not possible to grow anything.

At that time, I suspected it was you.

I just didn't want to make things ugly so I never told him, but don't take it too far either.

From the moment I told him, there was no going back.

He goes crazy, you think you can stop it, you can bear it, then you can treat me as a fart, so you can do whatever you want. "

The old sheep squatted by the boulder, talked to himself for a while, then turned and left.

The next moment, he saw that on the black boulder, on the shriveled dragon liver, a huge vitality was infused into it, as if to make the dragon liver the size of a grain of rice return to normal.

It's a pity that if it is destroyed, it is destroyed. Where can it be restored, the mass of vitality is hovering there, but it cannot be instilled.

The old sheep looked back and added a sentence.

"That's for you."

Hearing this, the ball of life disappeared into the black stone again.

The old sheep went back to the cave and continued to study the cultivation of Jinlan mushrooms.

This time, he added less dragon liver, mixed it with fertilizer, and spread it over more areas, and the new brocade mushrooms grew very slowly.

But this time, after the small fungus grew, it didn't wither again. Although it was small, it was a huge improvement.

The next step is to consider reducing costs.

After all, these Jinlan mushrooms, in normal times, add up to a year's production, and the value is not as good as that little bit of dragon liver.

What Lao Yang wants is just the beginning, and if he finds the direction, he will spare no expense.

There is still a long way to go if mass production is enough for everyone in Jinlan Mountain.

Now it is also certain that the Yuhua Tomb seems to have recovered a little bit.

From a pure jade tomb, I started to have a little bit of instinctive consciousness, able to listen to people's persuasion, knowing to be afraid, and able to make choices. This alone has already left all the same kind in the world behind. stage.

This is its great opportunity, and it is understandable that it wants to seize it. It is best for everyone to benefit from each other.

At least at this stage, Jinlan Mountain still needs the Yuhua Tomb.

It doesn't matter if you want to keep your body healthy, or plant brocade mushrooms, or get rid of forbidden land, all of them are needed.

But this kind of need, since the old sheep turned into a dragon and brought back the corpse of a ninth-level evil dragon, the foundation of Lichang became more and more stable, and his strength became more and more terrifying, it is not necessary.

If that guy doesn't know what to do, the next time he will bring Yu Ziqing out to scare it.

Digging it out and throwing it into the void, cutting off its chance and making it never recover is just the lowest means.

……

"Are you sure? I heard it again?"

Yu Ziqing frowned slightly, looking at the profiteer and hungry ghost in front of him.

"Sure, very sure, I heard that [-] miles to the south, there is a small volcano where a large number of red sky demons and yellow sky demons gather.

It's been quite chaotic here recently. I heard that there was a demon king during the day, who got mad and dared to break into the Nu River of the Demon Mother of the Black Sky.

He was dragged into the Nu River by the Black Sky Demon Mother, and his screams can still be heard every day, which is unbearable.

Then, during the day, the monster's territory was spotted by other monsters, and they fought with great joy.

I don’t know what happened to the south side, but they also started fighting..."

The profiteer hungry ghost swears that it is as if he saw it with his own eyes.

"There is no monster attack here?"

"That's not true. Those guys have a tacit understanding. As long as we don't go out, no one will provoke them. They always avoid this place when they fight, and don't give us a chance at all..." The profiteer and hungry ghost sighed, with regret on his face .

After all, hungry ghosts really want to tear up some monsters, although they are worse than magic thoughts, and worse than demon heads, at least they can control their satiety.

Unfortunately, after the situation stabilized, they did not dare to take the initiative to cause trouble.

If you take the initiative to attack, it will turn into a war between hungry ghosts and demons.

They are still too weak, and they have to gradually become stronger.

Another thing, they didn't want to rashly cause trouble for Yu Ziqing.

Moreover, the last time they ate was so full that they had no desire to eat for a long time.

"Well, if you're fine, inquire carefully. Let's slowly become stronger first. Except for the monsters who broke into this place, ignore them and let them go dog-eat-dog."

After chatting for a few words, Yu Ziqing turned around to catch the demon.

It seems that the last time something happened, it caused a lot of chaos here, and the chaos is chaos, anyway, it's all monsters killing each other.

What he is doing now is also a matter between demons and has nothing to do with outsiders.

If no one sees through him, then he is a black sky demon.

He rushed all the way to the place mentioned by the profiteer Hungry Ghost, and the capture of the Scarlet Sky Demon and the Yellow Sky Demon went smoothly.

These monsters are almost out of their minds, who cares about other things.

It's just that when he was walking back and passing a mountain range, Yu Ziqing discovered something else.

He saw a man walking out of the mountains.

The man was wearing a demonic animal skin cloak, enveloping all his aura inside.

As soon as Yu Ziqing saw him, the man immediately turned his head and glanced this way.

Yu Ziqing made a prompt decision, chased after the demon transformed by Lou Huai and began to fight. Lou Huai was a clever demon and fled quickly, Yu Ziqing chased after him.

The person in the distance just glanced at it, then shifted his gaze and glanced around.

In a radius of more than ten miles, there are at least a dozen waves of demon bosses fighting, and even more single-handed ones.

The man didn't dare to gossip, he just tightened the animal skin cloak on his body and continued to move forward.

After a while, Yu Ziqing and Lou Huai returned and stared at the mountain range.

"Will you write down that person's appearance and breath?"

"His appearance is fake, he is not enchanted, and he doesn't even have demonic thoughts. I only remember the breath of that cloak. It should be made of the skin of a black sky demon."

Yu Ziqing was a little surprised. Besides him, there were people running into the abyss.

If you dare to sneak in without being enchanted, aren't you afraid that you will be seen through by the demon immediately after you make a move?

"Come on, let's go and see."

Completely enchanted, coupled with the disguised Heitian demon aura, Yu Ziqing and Lou Huai walked on the barren land in such a swaggering manner, and none of the passing demons doubted his identity.

All the way deep into the mountains from the other direction, bypassing the place where the man came out.

Lou Huai sniffed his nose all the way, followed the remaining breath, traced to a small valley deep in the mountains, and found a small crack there.

The crack is only half a zhang wide, only three or four zhang long, and the aura is also very weak. Even ordinary devils can hardly detect the aura of that crack.

"Brother, shall we go and see?"

Yu Ziqing thought about it, such a small crack in the abyss, I don't know where it leads to.

Since that person was so cautious, he must have been well protected and hidden there.

After thinking about it, Yu Ziqing dissipated the aura of a demon during the day, floated three feet away from the ground, Lou Huai swayed, transformed into the body of a demon, and floated past.

The two floated into the crack together and sank slowly.

When he crossed the boundary and sensed that he was starting to float up, Yu Ziqing stopped and looked at the talismans hidden on both sides of the crack.

"That's a talisman used to warn against demons."

Lou Huai understood in seconds, and immediately turned into black smoke and penetrated into Yu Ziqing's boots. Yu Ziqing also dissipated the aura of the demon during the day, and slowly floated upwards in a state of pure human obsession.

Drilled out of the crack and looked around.

It's just a wilderness, and around the crack, a camouflage formation is arranged to cover up the crack.

Just like what he thought, the big forces would definitely not allow an abyss crack to appear in their territory, and they would seal it immediately.

Even if a crack in the abyss is discovered, when exploring, one person will not be sent to explore furtively.

Walking out of the crack, Yu Ziqing slowly walked through the camouflage formation without touching the ground. Looking back, everything behind him was camouflaged, and there was no crack at all, not even a fluctuation in the formation.

After flying out, after identifying the direction, Yu Ziqing dissipated his demonic energy, and found a place where there were people in a short time.

Seeing the city from a distance, Yu Ziqing asked Lou Huai.

"Twelve cities, do you know where it is?"

"Yes, it's a small city in the south of Dagan."

"Daqian South..."

Yu Ziqing pondered for a while, Dagan, Southwest, where did he seem to have heard of this Shiliang city.

After thinking about it for a while, I took out the recipes used for recording and looked through it, and soon found the word "Ten Liang" in the complicated information.

Here in Dagan, ten taels are equal to one catty, which is usually not said, so he felt that he must have seen it before.

It recorded some information about Song Chengyue.

That guy was born in a mountain village near Shiliang City.

It is said that when this guy was born, he was a premature baby, but he weighed only one catty. It is not known how he survived.

When Song Chengyue went straight to the sky, this Shiliang City, for some reason, was far-fetched, saying that the county magistrate of these Shiliang City came up with such a name in order to cling to Song Chengyue.

In fact, the name of Shiliang City has existed for an unknown number of years.

That mad dog, the speaker, gnawed and bit at random, and after a year, Song Chengyue found a way to lead him into Jinyiwei's yamen, and when he was released later, he was already useless.

These were all collected by Yu Ziqing, and they were widely circulated. They were stories that poured dirty water on Song Chengyue.

He himself didn't pay much attention to these outrageous stories, he just collected them routinely.

The actual situation, Yu Ziqing guessed, was that the speaker was arrested first, and later, his accomplices made up a story and spread it, and it became Jin Yiwei who arrested him because the speaker spoke uprightly.

By the way, this county magistrate of the twelve cities who is not from their faction is also hacked.

Anyway, the villain of this story is Jin Yiwei, so there must be people who believe it.

Yu Ziqing scratched his head and said from his heart that he came to investigate the crack. In fact, the main reason was to find out where the crack went.

Borrowing from the abyss is really easy to use.

It was much faster and more secretive than the one who worked so hard on himself, burning the spirit jade, and riding the flying boat.

He is in the abyss, so he is not afraid of revealing his identity, nor will he attract monsters to attack him.

This is difficult for others to do.

It's just that he didn't expect that the place where the crack led was the hometown that Song Chengyue hadn't been back to for hundreds of years.

Then it gets a little weird.

Instead of going to Shiliang City, he turned around and walked back.

He was on another hill, waiting quietly.

After waiting for a full day, a person came out of the camouflage formation.

The man was dressed in a black flying fish suit, young, with a vigilant and serious expression.

After searching the surroundings for a while, he looked around vigilantly and used the detection method. After a while, he stretched out his hand and threw it, and a huge stone appeared, submerged into the camouflage formation, and blocked the small crack.

In the distance, when the other party came out, Yu Ziqing closed his eyes to prevent being sensed by the other party.

When the person walked away and Yu Ziqing could only see a black spot in the distance, Yu Ziqing grinned.

Still an old acquaintance.

Back then, when Jinlan Mountain hadn't undergone drastic changes, Jinyiwei Anyue came to Jinlan Mountain to do business.

This guy is not dead yet.

Yu Ziqing thought he was dead, but he didn't expect to live well.

I also ran here and explored the abyss secretly.

Yu Ziqing went back to the crack again. After entering the camouflage formation, he saw the boulder covering the crack and explored around the crack for a while.

"Lou Huai, the crack has grown a little bit bigger, can you see it?"

"Brother, I can't see it, but I feel that it will be smoother when passing."

Yu Ziqing followed the edge of the crack, the uncovered part, without touching anything, and slowly burrowed down.

When it drilled out from the other side of the crack again, it can be seen from this side that the crack has obviously become bigger.

It is almost one foot wide and seven or eight feet long.

And there is still some aura left here, which is obviously the aura of someone using the magic weapon here.

The breath was very weak and was about to dissipate.

Yu Ziqing stared at the crack for a long time and asked a question.

"Lou Huai, can this crack in the abyss be artificially opened?"
