Volume 2 Dragon Bird Chapter 17: Taking Advantage of the Situation
Inside the inn.
Zang Xiaojian was bored and tossed the jade box containing the cold spirit fire up and down, back and forth, making the Western Rat King's eyelids twitch when he saw it.
It clearly remembered that the owner of Wanbao Tower had warned it that the cold spirit fire was extremely unstable and could explode at any time.
It quickly turned its little eyes to Lu Qingshan, its eyes full of help, wanting Lu Qingshan to speak up and stop Zang Xiaojian's dangerous behavior.
Lu Qingshan glanced at the nervous King of the Western Rat and remained indifferent.
"Why didn't Master Mo set a meeting place in advance? Instead, he made us wait here." Zang Xiaojian was a little annoyed.
"That's normal. If he tells us the time and place of the meeting in advance, once we have any ulterior motives, we may make various arrangements against him. But if he doesn't say anything, the initiative will be in their hands. They can show up to meet us after confirming that it is safe." Lu Qingshan soothed him kindly.
Zang Xiaojian wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction and muttered softly, "He has so many tricks."
When Lu Qingshan heard Zang Xiaojian's complaint, he chuckled and didn't say much.
The little girl is not stupid, on the contrary she is quite clever and can understand many things at a glance.
She just lacks some experience. After all, there are many worldly wisdoms that can only be understood by experiencing them.
The King of the Rat West's eyes suddenly lit up, revealing an expression of finally being relieved, and warned: "Someone is coming!"
The next moment, a black shadow flashed by, and an extremely short monk appeared in the room.
Five dwarfs.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Zang." As soon as the five dwarfs appeared, they greeted the two first, and then asked, "Have you obtained the Frost Spirit Fire?"
Zang Xiaojian waved the jade box in his hand towards the Five Dwarfs, "Here it is!"
"Now that the Frost Spirit Fire has been obtained, Master Mo should have come to see you in person, but his situation is special and it is not easy for him to show up directly." The five dwarfs said in a deep voice: "I can only trouble you two to come with me. I will take you to see Master Mo."
Lu Qingshan waved his hand, "It's a small matter, just lead the way."
…
A quiet courtyard in the south of the city.
Under the leadership of the Five Dwarfs, Zang Xiaojian and Lu Qingshan appeared at the gate of the villa.
Buckle——button——
The Five Dwarfs went forward and knocked on the door. The rhythm and frequency of his knocking were very particular, and it was obviously a specific code.
The gate opened silently.
"Master Mo is waiting for you inside." The one who opened the door was Xinyue Zhenren.
Wuddy and Lu Qingshan walked straight into the hall.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Zang." Mo Yan had been waiting in the hall for a long time. When he saw the two people arriving, he immediately stood up and greeted them in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
Zang Xiaojian didn't waste any time. He took out the jade box containing the cold spirit fire from the storage ring, removed the fire-suppressing talisman on the jade box, opened the jade box, and showed the cold spirit fire inside to Mo Yan.
"This is what you want." After showing it to Mo Yan, Zang Xiaojian immediately closed the jade box and put it away. "What about our request?"
Mo Yan naturally understood Zang Xiaojian's intention and waved his hand. Fashui beside him hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Mo."
Mo Yan asked Zang Xiaojian, "Who are you looking for?"
Zang Xiaojian looked at Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan was prepared, "We don't know the specific name or appearance."
Fashui immediately showed an embarrassment on his face, "This... if there is no information at all, I don't know where to start looking..."
Lu Qingshan said calmly, "Of course it's impossible that there is no news at all. You just need to help me find people who have purchased large quantities of Sangluo wine or purchased Sangluo wine frequently on Jiaolong Island in the past twenty years."
When he and Zang Xiaojian were investigating Jiaolong City, they heard a very interesting anecdote.
The head of the Longquan Mo family has been addicted to alcohol for a hundred years.
You have to know that alcohol addiction is something that is extremely difficult to quit once you get addicted.
Not to mention that the head of the Mo family also encountered such a major event as the overthrow of his family. Generally speaking, when encountering such a situation, people who do not drink are very likely to start drinking to drown their sorrows. Then how could a person who is already extremely addicted to alcohol quit drinking?
He also asked around and learned that the most famous type of wine on Longquan Island was Sangluo wine.
Based on the currently known information, it is easy to draw a conclusion that if the head of the Mo family really lived in seclusion on Jiaolong Island, he would most likely leave traces of purchasing Sangluo wine.
"Moreover, this person should have appeared on Jiaolong Island very suddenly in the past twenty years." Lu Qingshan added.
"Did you hear clearly?" Mo Yan said in a deep voice, showing .
Fashui said respectfully, "I understand. I will go down and investigate right away."
Mo Yan nodded, "Okay, let's go down and find out as soon as possible. Don't let the two Taoist friends wait too long."
Fashui retreated hastily.
"We should be able to gain something within a day." Mo Yan said to Lu Qingshan.
Even though Lu Qingshan's request was very strange, Mo Yan didn't ask any more questions.
Lu Qingshan bowed his hands to express his gratitude, "Thank you for your help."
Mo Yan thought about it for a moment, then said to Zang Xiaojian who was holding the jade box, "Fellow Daoist Zang, I have already given the order. I wonder if you can give me the Frost Spirit Fire."
After a pause, Mo Yan explained: "It's not urgent, but this cold spirit fire in your hands may bring you danger."
"It's most dangerous when it falls into your hands..."
Zang Xiaojian was about to retort when Lu Qingshan stopped him from saying anything. Looking at Mo Yan's calm expression, he seemed to understand something and asked, "Master Mo knew that there was something wrong with this fire?"
Mo Yan said calmly, "After you took the Frost Spirit Fire from Wanbao Tower, I had people observe carefully and found that there was not a single cultivator from the Sea God Sect who paid any subsequent attention to you or followed you."
"I didn't tell you clearly before, but in fact, this fire seed should be a trap set by the Sea God Sect to lure me into action. Since the Sea God Sect wants to use this Cold Spirit Fire seed to kill me, but has no interest in the two people who bought the Cold Spirit Fire seed, it can only mean that this Cold Spirit Fire seed is not simple." Mo Yan said in a loud voice, and at the same time he wanted to persuade Zang Xiaojian to hand over the Cold Spirit Fire seed to him.
"Since everyone knows that this cold spirit fire seed is not simple, why do you still want it?" Lu Qingshan said meaningfully.
"The Sea God Sect wants to plot against me, so why don't I use their own trick against me and defeat them? I want the Frost Spirit Fire Seed, and I also want the lives of the Sea God Sect cultivators. I want them to lose both their wife and their troops." Mo Yan was full of wisdom, his eyes sparkling, "Fellow Daoist Lu and Fellow Daoist Zang, are you interested in staying and watching this good show?"
Lu Qingshan was stunned at first, but seeing Mo Yan's confidence, he became interested. "Okay, we also need to wait for news."
Seeing that Lu Qingshan agreed, Zang Xiaojian's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement, and he looked eager to make a move.
The little girl is always full of freshness.
