Chapter 153 Qingqiu (Thirteen)
Lu Ren was trying hard to hear what Dong Jun said. However, after concentrating for a long time, he only saw Dong Jun's upper and lower lips come together and separate, and the sounds coming out of his mouth were like fluttering butterflies, fluttering in and out of Lu Ren's ears.
But it is difficult to enter Lu Ren's mind.
Lu Ren thought it was the sequelae of his soul inflammation. So he shook his head vigorously, hoping to focus his consciousness a little more so as to understand the meaning of Dong Jun's words.
But before he could figure it out, he heard Dong Jun's full-throated, sharp voice: "Yan!"
The words were powerful, clear, and booming in Lu Ren's ears. Lu Ren felt that the originally silent world suddenly broke apart, like the first melting of ice and the rush of rivers.
In an instant, Lu Ren became unable to think of anything .
This is actually a long-standing interrogation technique among the gods, called "the mantra of words". It can allow the person being interrogated to enter a state of selflessness, withdraw from everything, and make the soul appear hazy, thus ensuring that what the person being interrogated says is the truth.
Lu Ren just felt his mouth open and close, and then one word after another came out of his mouth, but strangely he couldn't hear what he said at all. The words he said were like quicksand falling into the palm of his hand. Lu Ren could only watch them slip away from his eyes helplessly, but he couldn't remember what the sand looked like.
He could only watch himself talking endlessly. When Lu Ren uttered the last word, he suddenly lost his strength, and then his consciousness fell into the familiar white space, and his body went limp. Fortunately, Li Boyang, who was closer to Lu Ren, was quick to hold his shoulders with both hands, so that Lu Ren could barely keep his balance.
On the other hand, Dongjun, Tushan Qiluo and Libei, who heard everything from Lu Ren, have successfully grasped the ins and outs of the matter.
Although several people have their own concerns in their minds, Li Bei definitely has the most psychological activities.
From the north: ???
Libei:!!!
So, is this really just a coincidence?
What does it mean to be too clever and scheming?
In other words, because of these boring coincidences, he, the young master of the fox clan, almost forced himself to marry a man? He also said, "Even if I use all the strength of my Qingqiu fox clan, today's wedding will be a complete success."
Thinking of his previous confident performance, Li Bei's face instantly turned red. He had never been so embarrassed in his life. What was worse was that he was in front of his rival Tushan Qiluo.
He secretly glanced at Tushan Qiluo beside him. Fortunately, Tushan Qiluo didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing the matter further.
Li Bei coughed urgently, hiding his embarrassment well.
In fact, Tushan Qiluo didn't notice Li Bei at all. She turned her head to look at Li Boyang who was supporting Lu Ren: the gray-robed Taoist priest who looked unkempt didn't look like he was hiding any huge secrets, but...
"Why can you come to the Mountain and Sea Realm privately?"
Tushan Qiluo frowned. If Lu Ren appeared here because of her guidance, then what about Li Boyang? How did the seemingly ordinary Li Boyang find the entrance to the Mirror Flower and Water Moon and avoid the mayflies guarding the gate? Lu Ren said he was an "acquaintance" and a "smuggler", but the world between the human world and the mountain and sea world was not separated by a river or a sea. It was a colorless and shadowless barrier. Ordinary people could not even realize the existence of the mountain and sea world.
Not only did Li Boyang realize it, he even stepped through that door.
Moreover, isn't the aura of this man named Li Boyang too clean? There is no smell at all, no human smell, no demon smell. It's like a deep pool, quietly dormant, and you can't tell the depth.
Li Boyang did not speak. The person who answered Tushan Qiluo was Dongjun who was standing nearby.
"He is an old friend of mine and came to see me specially." Dong Jun said.
After saying this, not only Tushan Qiluo, but even Li Bei who was absent-minded beside him couldn't help but look sideways.
Dongjun has been in the Mountain and Sea Realm for tens of thousands of years and has never left. Li Boyang is obviously not a resident of the Mountain and Sea Realm. If the two of them are old friends, they must have been destined to be together tens of thousands of years ago. This conclusion made Tushan Qiluo alert, because she worked in the Foreign Household Registration Bureau, and the Foreign Household Registration , but she had never heard of such a person.
In this eventful time, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared.
Dongjun has now lost his third eye and cannot see anything, so he is afraid that the Taoist priest has ill intentions.
Tushan Qiluo and Li Bei took a step forward without leaving a trace, just standing between Li Boyang and Dongjun.
If anything happened, both of them would fight to the death to protect Dongjun. At this time, Tushan Qiluo and Libei, who were originally incompatible, strangely united their front and faced the outside world together.
If Dongjun had not mentioned "old friend", Li Boyang would at most have been interrogated as a suspicious person; as soon as he said "old friend", Tushan Qiluo and Li Bei were about to draw their swords and execute Li Boyang on the spot.
Li Boyang could only laugh in silence and said politely: "Show mercy, show mercy. I am not a suspicious person. I just travel between the two worlds to make some money to pay off my gambling debts."
Although he sounded polite, Li Boyang was actually quite relaxed in the face of a powerful enemy. The more casual he acted, the less Li Bei and Tu Shan Qi Luo dared to underestimate the enemy.
In the end, it was Dongjun who stepped in and resolved the confrontation on the scene.
Dongjun was smiling, as if he was happy to meet an old friend. His tone was also filled with joy: "Okay, I want to reminisce with my old friend. You should quickly send this... friend Lu Ren to Qingchi. His condition cannot be delayed. If it is delayed for too long, his mind will be damaged."
Dong Jun was right. In Lu Ren's situation, the sooner the better. His inflamed soul had been delayed for a long time, and he had just suffered a curse. If he delayed any longer, he would easily become a fool.
Originally, Qingqiu Qingchi was a sacred place that only the successive fox masters and their spouses could enter. But now that Dongjun had spoken, Libei naturally had no objection. Tushan Qiluo weighed the pros and cons and took Lu Ren to Qingchi without delay.
In order not to disturb the conversation between Dongjun and Li Boyang, Li Bei also followed them out. Before leaving, Li Boyang threw the cloth bag around his waist to Li Bei.
Li Boyang said, "Your real wife is in there."
Upon hearing this, Li Bei's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He glared at Li Boyang fiercely, but finally followed Tushan Qiluo out without saying a word.
The few of them left the Mirror Flower Water Moon Hall to Dongjun and Li Boyang. The door was heavily closed behind the two of them, blocking out most of the light. The originally friendly smiles on the faces of the two people in the hall suddenly became dim.
The crack in the roof that was smashed by Tushan Qiluo and Li Bei was right behind Dongjun, and the sunlight fell through it. Due to the backlight, Dongjun's face, which was originally unclear, was completely hidden in the darkness, but one thing that could be judged was that Dongjun was definitely not smiling at this moment.
Li Boyang was the first to break the silence: "Lord Qingdi, how are you?"
Dong Jun seemed to have no intention of exchanging useless pleasantries with him. He spoke in a cold tone, "The Heaven Realm has never interfered with the affairs of the Human Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm for thousands of years. What is the matter today that requires the Three Pure Ones to come in person?"
Unlike the gentleness he had shown before, Dong Jun's tone now became cold and hard, and one could clearly hear his disgust and vigilance.
Li Boyang answered the question irrelevantly. Instead, he turned to look in the direction where Lu Ren and the others left and asked Dong Jun, "Why did you send them away? Even if it was thousands of years ago, we were not friends."
"If you were to do it, even if they stayed, they would just die in vain."
Dong Jun still had some understanding of Li Boyang. All his actions just now were just to avoid making others worry.
But Dong Jun still warned Li Boyang: "I advise you not to act rashly. Once something happens to me, the barrier of Mirror Flower and Water Moon will definitely loosen. As long as the barrier moves, Si Yuan will definitely know. In the Mountain and Sea Realm, no matter how powerful you are, it is impossible for you to escape unscathed after fighting with the swords of the Kunlun Realm."
"After not seeing each other for so many years, the Green Emperor still doesn't hesitate to assume the worst of me. You must be kidding. I'm not a battle fanatic. How could I come here just to fight? Don't worry, I wasn't lying when I said I was only here to do some small business."
Dong Jun was not polite. He directly followed Li Boyang's words and said, "In this case, your business should have been completed. Please forgive me for not seeing you off."
Li Boyang didn't expect that Dongjun wouldn't even pretend, and he looked aggrieved on the spot: "You are really heartless."
Dongjun remained unmoved.
So Li Boyang changed the subject, put away the pretentious expression on his face, and said seriously: "I had the same intention, but it seems that you have reached the stage of the Five Deteriorations of Heaven and Man. Don't you need help?"
If Lu Ren saw Li Boyang at this moment, he would be very surprised. Because Li Boyang, who had been traveling with him all the way and was careless, now looked surprisingly serious, like a stranger. His eyes were as calm as the sea, and when he looked directly at Dongjun, there seemed to be an undercurrent flowing silently in his eyes. His deep voice was full of magnetism, and the words he said were irresistible and convincing.
But Dong Jun didn't want to give Li Boyang this opportunity. Dong Jun made up his mind that no matter what Li Boyang said, he would refuse: "No need."
"Don't be so decisive." Li Boyang didn't seem to care about Dongjun's resistance at all. He turned around and looked outside through the window of the Mirror Flower Water Moon Palace.
The Mirror Flower Water Moon Palace is a palace built on a water surface. The water surface has tides, and every once in a while the square in front of the palace will be flooded. Now it is sunset, and the water has just risen by half. The flooded half of the square is like a mirror, reflecting the gorgeous fiery red clouds in the sky.
The half of the square that was not flooded was made of black stone. The black stone was black, but there were dots of light inside, which looked like a sky full of stars from a distance.
The farewell sunset and the long-returned starry sky spread out in front of the Mirror Flower Water Moon Palace like a scroll, and even Li Boyang couldn't help but marvel at it.
While admiring the beautiful scenery, Li Boyang casually said to Dongjun: "The mountain and sea world is very beautiful, but beauty always has a time limit."
This sentence made Dongjun, who was originally as gentle as spring breeze, couldn't help but get angry. He frowned slightly and asked sternly: "Are you threatening me?"
For Dongjun, the mountain and sea world is his Achilles' heel.
"Don't look so scary. I have no intention of attacking the Mountain and Sea Realm."
As soon as Li Boyang saw the expression, he knew that Dongjun was really angry. He had no intention of really fighting with Dongjun. Although the Eastern Green Emperor had retired for many years, he had once fought against the entire Buzhou Mountain Realm Division with Shenhuang. If a real fight broke out, he might not get anything good.
"What I mean is, if you leave this little Wu Shuai alone, it will only be a matter of time before his soul is destroyed. By then, the magic of mirror flowers and water moons will be broken, and the mountain and sea world will no longer exist. It's a pity. I don't know how likely it is that humans will be able to accommodate these spirits if they go to the human world."
Very small.
When Li Boyang was saying these words, Dongjun did not interrupt him. Li Boyang knew that Dongjun was wavering. So, Li Boyang revealed his true intentions: "In fact, the Five Deteriorations of Heaven and Man are not in vain. Right now, there is a natural treasure in the Mountain and Sea Realm..."
After saying this, Li Boyang smiled slightly. He won the game.
