Chapter 177 Chapter 177

On the way back, Qu Wurong’s junior sisters had a very lively discussion, but they were young and had little experience, so the final decision fell to Qu Wurong. After they expressed their support for her, Qu Wurong still insisted on consulting everyone's thoughts. Fortunately, there were not many junior sisters on the ship, otherwise it would be too difficult for Qu Wurong to talk to each other one by one.

The first one to be excluded was the Kingdom of Qiuci. Most of the people Qu Wurong chose to take on board were honest people. After experiencing the days when Shi Guanyin sat down and fought with each other, they really didn't want to leave the tiger's den and enter the wolf's den again. Princess Pipa knew from her experience that she was the kind of person who was scheming and resourceful. They didn't want to face a Shi Guanyin-like figure again, so they were excluded from working for Princess Pipa in Qiuci Kingdom.

The next one that was excluded was Ji Bingyan's place. She wanted to find a place to house these junior sisters, but if she was running for Ji Bingyan's business, wouldn't it go against her original intention of letting the junior sisters live a stable life. As for placing the junior sisters in Lanzhou City and going out into the desert by herself, she was not only worried about the junior sisters, but also worried about what trouble they would cause. After all, they used to live in the stone forest and saw a lot of bad things. They are sensitive and if there is any misunderstanding, they are all good at martial arts.

In the end, Qu Wurong decided to choose among those forces that could provide a stable place, but after all, this was a two-way selection process. Even if they made the choice, it would still depend on whether the other party was willing. Therefore, after eliminating the two options, Qu Wurong planned to wait until he arrived in Qiuci Kingdom and then try to contact the people in Shenshui Palace.

In fact, Qu Wurong was also partial to the Shenshui Palace. After all, the Five Poison Sect and the Sun Moon God Sect still needed to go deep into the Central Plains to determine whether to accept them. As for the Ghost Palace, the junior sisters didn't know about it, but she had dealt with it several times, had many conflicts, and could even be considered a grudge. She was worried about being ostracized by them when she brought people there.

As for the Shenshui Palace, although Jellyfish Yinji and Shi Guanyin had some entanglements and even died together, this had little to do with their disciples. After all, they were all the ones who died after their immediate bosses, so they were in the same boat. Moreover, joining the Shenshui Palace can be regarded as cooperation, but joining other forces would mean they are taking shelter from the other party. After all, they will lose a bit of initiative.

After learning their decision, Song Lehe nodded casually, not really caring about it.

Contrary to what Qu Wurong thought, the forces like Song Lehe and Jian actually had no intention of monitoring Qu Wurong. It was just a finishing habit. It was similar to the arrangement of Dong Sanniang and the others on Bat Island. At most, Qu Wurong Their force value is higher, so they have more choices. If he really wanted to spy on them, why did he introduce the Kingdom of Kucha? Would he stay in the Western Regions and maintain long-term contact with the Kingdom of Kucha, or Princess Pipa, whom he had met only once?

After asking Qu Wurong what he planned to do next , he also began to think about his future. The machine body is already under repair. After the meteorite iron in Lingyin Temple is successfully magnetized, the machine body's distress signal can be repaired. Apart from that, there isn't much he can do, other than continuing to accumulate mental power and improving his martial arts. Neither of these things happens overnight, and there is no need to rush it.

He calculated how long it had been since Lingyin Temple put down the meteorite. It was probably more than four months. Even if he placed a semi-finished alloy that was easily magnetized in the center of the meteorite, this amount of time would not matter. If there are any big changes, it would be better to go and see it again in a year.

Looking at the man huddled in the corner in the cabin, he sighed. He had to change his identity and come over to treat them. Conscious addiction requires their own efforts, but suffering from such a long period of torture in the stone forest does require some physical treatment by a serious doctor. We don't want to recover as before, but at least we can prevent them from dying of illness just after going out.

It just so happened that the matter was almost settled. He hadn't seen Bai Jing and Feifei for a long time. He might as well send them back to Lanzhou City. No, he could entrust these people to Chu Liuxiang and let him take them back to Lanzhou City, and then he could leave first. , changed into a female body and went to see Bai Jing and the others.

Song Lehe sat in the bow of the boat and began to think about the prescription, while others did not dare to disturb him.

Although he has been quite peaceful since he got on the boat, the people on the boat only think about the death of Shi Guanyin, who is invincible to them, by his hands, and the sisters who were lying on the ground at his feet after he entered the stone forest. , I just feel that his current peace is just a monster taking a nap, and I don't dare to disturb him at all.

On the way back, those men suffered from drug addiction twice. Before Song Lehe could do anything, he saw Qu Wurong's junior sisters knocking people unconscious and tying them up very skillfully and quickly. They didn't dare to disturb him at all. to him. Judging from the proficiency of their movements, it looks like they have done this not once or twice. Even though they were very honest in front of Song Lehe, in fact, the truly weak people would not be able to survive in the stone forest.

After returning to Qiuci City, Chu Liuxiang greeted him quickly: "You're back now. I was worried about something happening on the road."

"What accident could happen to me?" Song Lehe understood Chu Liuxiang's worries but didn't Feeling that something would happen to him, "By the way, I brought some people back. They are going to find people from Shenshui Palace. Find someone to take them there."

Chu Liuxiang was stunned and nodded to Qu Wurong who got off the boat . , after saying hello, he pointed out the person to them and motioned to follow him to find the people from Shenshui Palace. Although he was a little curious about where Song Yi found this group of people, he was not in a hurry because he still had something serious to say.

After seeing Qu Wurong leading the people away, Chu Liuxiang said to Song Lehe: "The matter you asked us to investigate before has come to fruition. Shi Guanyin is indeed transferring power. Not only is she encircling the Qiuci Kingdom, but she is also sending People go to other countries."

Song Lehe nodded and said, "Well, I also asked Qu Wurong about this, and I learned some about Shi Guanyin's plan. Fortunately, we changed it because of the lack of water. Route, I bumped into you and found Shi Guanyin directly, otherwise I would have been tricked in the maze of her old books. "

Shi Guanyin is a good thief. When she knew that Jellyfish Yinji was coming to see her again, she probably had murderous intentions. Judging from the result of their unhappy separation last time, Jellyfish Yinji couldn't take her away by force in the desert, but she couldn't defeat Jellyfish Yinji. From then on, she began to avoid Jellyfish Yinji, and Jellyfish Yinji was also not very enthusiastic about coming to the desert. After being blocked several times, she gave up. Later, she did not send anyone to the desert for more than ten years. This time she set foot in the desert again, probably because her martial arts had improved, or she had helpers and gained confidence in taking her Shi Guanyin out of the desert.

Therefore, Shi Guanyin sent people to stop Jellyfish Yinji as usual and prepared to run away. At the same time, he began to think about how to kill Jellyfish Yinji in the desert once and for all. Her martial arts is indeed not as good as Jellyfish Yinji, but in this desert, the thing that can kill people the most is never martial arts, but the desert itself.

The purpose of blocking Jellyfish Yinji was to lower her guard and make her think that Shi Guanyin just didn't want to be found by her as usual. Knowing that Jellyfish Yinji would not give up when she set foot in the desert again after more than ten years, Shi Guanyin also laid suspicion and asked Qu Wurong to stay in the stone forest as her substitute to deal with Jellyfish Yinji. Qu Wurong definitely couldn't hide it from Jellyfish Yinji who had seen Shi Guanyin, but it was enough to anger her. After Qu Wurong died in the stone forest, someone would tell Jellyfish Yinji the whereabouts of Shi Guanyin.

Shi Guanyin sent many disciples within her former sphere of influence to create the illusion that she was going to these places, and then hooked Jellyfish Yinji to follow the clues to find her. On the way, she would constantly send people to consume the energy and water of the Shenshui Palace people, and send people like wolves to drive Shenshui Palace deep into the desert they were unfamiliar with.

Then she can hide next to King Kucha and wait for news of Jellyfish Yinji's death. After all, the Kingdom of Qiuci was originally not within her sphere of influence, and there was a palace coup. The person who seized power was a powerful minister, so the martial arts forces who didn't want to cause trouble stayed away. Who would suspect that the former King of Kucha, who looked like a bereaved dog, was the princess beside him, Shi Guanyin. Even if the Shenshui Palace searched the desert, they would not be able to find her! And when the jellyfish Yinji died, she would not only reap the pleasure of revenge , can further expand the power, why not?

After finishing Shi Guanyin's original plan with Chu Liuxiang, Song Lehe couldn't help but sigh that Shi Guanyin was somewhat unlucky. She planned well, and even her men executed it with all their heart, but she had no choice but to bump into Ji Bingyan first, which led to the early attack on King Qiuci, and before she could catch Princess Pipa, she and Chu Liuxiang Ji Bingyan escaped, exposing their identities. Later, Song Lehe led the team to turn around after the Shenshui Palace team ran out of water, but directly ran into Princess Pipa and her group who had escaped. He directly avoided the many suspicious formations she had laid and directly captured her true identity.

Song Lehe thought about the whole thing and realized that he was Shi Guanyin's natural enemy. If he hadn't asked Chu Liuxiang to deliver the message, then he would not have come to Ji Bingyan in time. Later, it would not have been possible for him and Ji Bingyan to rescue Princess Pipa together. Only Ji Bingyan If he were alone, he would have to die in the hands of Shi Guanyin together with Princess Pipa. And if it weren't for the map provided by the Ghost Palace, Song Lehe would not have led the Shenshui Palace team to find the oasis where Princess Pipa was stationed when there was a water shortage, and would not have known that Shi Guanyin was not in the Stone Forest, but in the King's Palace of Qiuci .

These links are intertwined, if one link is missing, he may have to catch nothing. After all, he knew the location of Shilin, not that he had placed a tracker on Shi Guanyin himself. Although she had promised Jellyfish Yin Ji that she would lead her to capture Shi Guanyin, if she continues to pursue her like this, Jellyfish Yin Ji may have to trouble him first.

Song Lehe and Chu Liuxiang sighed, and then moved the topic to the present.

Chu Liuxiang said: "Because Shi Guanyin had to be temporarily relocated, there was indeed a lot of action. For the sake of authenticity, we did send people and enclosed the land. But fortunately, it was all a cover-up, so I didn't plan to plant poppies outside. This can be considered a trap. Good news."

Song Lehe nodded. If Shi Guanyin really wanted to leave the stone forest, then maybe she would plant the poppies in a different place. But fortunately, these transfers were all a cover-up, just to kill the jellyfish Yin Ji, so in order to keep the secret of the poppies, she did not plant them elsewhere, otherwise he would have to search for them one by one.

"In this case, things here are almost busy." Song Lehe stretched, "After Qu Wurong meets the people from Shenshui Palace, I should leave. If they join Shenshui Palace , it’s nothing to do with me, if we can’t negotiate well, I can only give you a letter of recommendation, and the rest is up to them. Thank you very much this time.”
