Volume 2 Dragon Bird Chapter 43 The Truth
"Then let's go find Xue Zhuyong first." Lu Qingshan said.
Zang Xiaojian nodded vigorously, took Qin Yitian's hand, and explained enthusiastically: "Sister Yitian, we have to go find someone first. I will tell you the details on the way."
Qin Yitian nodded, "It seems that the situation is very urgent, so don't delay any longer, let's set off quickly."
Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian didn't waste any more time and used their sword-controlling skills to rush towards Jiaolong City. Qin Yitian turned into a red light and escaped with the two of them. No one knew what kind of escape technique he used, but his speed was not inferior to theirs at all.
…
The Sea God Sect had already been overthrown, and the situation was extremely urgent, so the two did not have too many concerns. They flew directly into the city on their swords and soon arrived at Xue Zhuyong's woodcarving shop.
During the journey, Zang Xiaojian told Qin Yitian everything about how she and Lu Qingshan searched for the natal sword and what she had seen and heard since landing on the island, so that she could understand the current situation.
The three of them landed in front of the wood carving shop. As soon as they landed, Zang Xiaojian took the lead and rushed into the wood carving shop.
Inside the woodcarving shop, Xue Zhuyong was as usual, with the wine jug in his hand and reeking of alcohol. He glanced indifferently at Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian, who had visited him three times, without any fluctuation in his expression.
Zang Xiaojian said angrily: "Shopkeeper Xue, you are still drinking here at this time?"
Xue Zhuyong picked up the wine pot and gulped down another big gulp of wine. Without even looking at Zang Xiaojian, he said leisurely, "Is there a time when you can drink wine and a time when you can't drink wine?"
Zang Xiaojian then remembered that Xue Zhuyong still didn't understand the current situation, and hurriedly explained: "The Jiao Clan that destroyed the Mo family is now led by the Jiaolong Demon King and is preparing to land on Jiaolong Island..."
"What does the dragon beast landing on the island have to do with me?" Xue Zhuyong said in a muffled voice.
Cang Xiaojian couldn't believe Xue Zhuyong's indifference, and wrinkled his nose and said: "These dragon beasts are the monsters that destroyed your Mo family. Don't you want to avenge the blood feud that destroyed your family?"
"I'm just the owner of a wood carving shop. What does the destruction of the Mo family have to do with me? Why should I avenge them?" Xue Zhuyong rarely looked directly at Zang Xiaojian and asked in a very serious manner, enunciating each word.
"But this sword is clearly..." Zang Xiaojian pointed at the three-foot-long sword hanging on the wall and was speechless for a moment, "How come you have nothing to do with the Mo family?"
Qin Yitian hasn't said a word since he entered the wood carving shop. He just kept looking at the wood carvings displayed in the shop.
Zang Xiaojian pointed at the three-foot-tipped sword, and Qin Yitian looked in the direction of Zang Xiaojian's finger. He carefully observed the three-foot-tipped sword hanging on the wall for several times, and suddenly asked Lu Qingshan: "Is that the sword you want to find as your natal sword?"
Lu Qingshan was stunned and didn't understand why Qin Yitian suddenly asked this question, but he nodded subconsciously.
After receiving a positive answer, Qin Yitian seemed to be disgusted with the three-foot sword, and also seemed to be a bit arrogant. He curled his lips inaudibly and muttered softly: "It's just ordinary..."
Xue Zhuyong's face turned sullen, as if Zang Xiaojian's words brought back some bad memories. He stretched out his left hand, and with a slight move, the three-foot sword flew into his hand and was put back into his storage ring.
"If you want to buy the wood carvings, just look at them yourself. But if you just want to talk about these trivial things, our shop will not welcome you." Xue Zhuyong said coldly.
"Sorry for disturbing you." Lu Qingshan apologized to Xue Zhuyong.
Zang Xiaojian wanted to argue something, but was pulled away from the woodcarving shop by Lu Qingshan.
"He is obviously the patriarch of the Mo family, why doesn't he admit it?" Zang Xiaojian puffed his cheeks, unable to figure out the specific reason, and said angrily: "Is it because he is afraid of the Dragon Demon King and dare not to be his enemy?"
"It's not this reason. It's probably because the overthrow of the Mo family is not as simple as it seems on the surface," Lu Qingshan said very seriously, "but what is the truth behind it? There is a key piece of information missing."
In fact, when he first visited the wood carving shop, he had already noticed that Xue Zhuyong's situation was a bit strange. Coupled with Mrs. Mo's reaction at that time, he undoubtedly became more certain of what he thought.
However, all his current guesses were rootless, unless there was a strong point that could give him a clear direction.
"The wood carvings in the wood carving shop are not simple." Qin Yitian suddenly said.
Cang Xiaojian, who was originally filled with righteous indignation, was interrupted by Qin Yitian. He immediately remembered what he had not finished saying because of Mo Yan's sudden arrival. "Sister Yitian, can you also see the images hidden in the wood carvings?"
Lu Qingshan, who had not taken it seriously at first, was startled and said in a calm voice, "What did you say? There is an image hidden in the wood carving? What image?"
Seeing Lu Qingshan so surprised, Zang Xiaojian became a little confused. "Yes, those wood carvings all contain some images, which seem to be the scenes of contact between Xue Zhuyong and the objects carved in the wood carvings. On the sea monster wood carving I bought, all I can see is the battle scene of Shopkeeper Xue killing the sea monster. Shopkeeper Xue was seriously injured in that battle! I saw that you have been paying so much attention to the wood carvings, and I thought it was because you could also see the images on the wood carvings that you had such a reaction."
There is no doubt that the wood carvings in Xue Zhuyong's shop are not ordinary wood carvings, but in Lu Qingshan's opinion, they are extraordinary only because they contain the artistic conception mastered by Xue Zhuyong.
But according to Zang Xiaojian, there are other secrets on the wood carving? Then why can't he feel those images, but only Zang Xiaojian can see them?
Qin Yitian saw Lu Qingshan's confusion and took the initiative to explain: "When the sculptor carved the wood, he used the power of artistic conception and some special techniques to hide some pictures in the wood, so people who don't master the artistic conception can't get these images."
I see.
Lu Qingshan was relieved.
Zang Xiaojian is a cultivator who has mastered the sword intent of wind during the foundation-building period, so he can see the picture in the wood carving.
But if that’s the case, doesn’t that mean Qin Yitian has also mastered a state of mind?
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but take one more look at Qin Yitian, but this was not the time to delve into this. He quickly took out the wooden sculpture of the Dragon Demon King that he had purchased earlier from his storage ring, handed it to Zang Xiaojian, and said very solemnly: "Take a look at what the picture on this wooden sculpture contains?"
Zang Xiaojian took the wooden dragon carving, closed his eyes slightly, released his spiritual thoughts, and at the same time a mysterious force of heaven and earth arose out of thin air. That was the power of artistic conception that Zang Xiaojian mastered.
After a moment, Zang Xiaojian opened his eyes, his expression full of confusion and bewilderment, "These images... are a bit strange?"
Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed , and he asked, "What's going on?"
"I saw Shopkeeper Xue squatting outside the Dragon Pond several times, killing dragon beasts, and fighting with the Dragon Monster King many times. But each battle did not last too long. After a while, he used a magic weapon to escape, as if he was deliberately provoking the Dragon Monster King. In the last scene, Shopkeeper Xue seemed to be watching coldly as the Dragon Monster King led the Dragon Clan to massacre the human race... and those humans seemed to be all members of the Mo family?"
"Is that so?" Lu Qingshan seemed to be thinking about something, and couldn't help muttering: " So that's how it is... It's really like that..."
The next moment, a gleam of light flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes, and he suddenly said, "Let's go."
"Where to go?" Zang Xiaojian was confused and hadn't figured out the situation yet.
"To find out the truth behind the incident when the Jiao Clan overthrew the Mo Clan."
"Ah?" Zang Xiaojian was surprised, but when he saw Lu Qingshan move, he hurriedly followed.
Qin Yitian didn't say anything, but just followed Lu Qingshan's pace silently. However, her sight fell on Lu Qingshan's back, and a strange light flashed across her eyes. The corners of her mouth also curled up in a very faint arc that revealed a smile.
…
…
Madam Mo opened the door and saw Lu Qingshan and the other two standing at the door. She asked in surprise, "Are you looking for Yan'er for something? But Yan'er is not at home now..."
"Mrs. Mo, we are here to see you." Lu Qingshan interrupted Mrs. Mo and said in a deep voice.
"Looking for me?"
"The Longquan Mo family was overthrown by the Jiao clan back then, not because of the Jiao clan's accidental initiative, but originated from a long-planned plan. If I'm not mistaken, the person who planned this should be the head of your Mo family at the time, Xue Zhuyong." Lu Qingshan went straight to the point and slowly stated his judgment.
Zang Xiaojian opened his mouth slightly, frightened by Lu Qingshan's earth-shattering words.
The head of the Mo family has been planning to overthrow the Mo family for a long time. How is this possible?
Zang Xiaojian found it hard to believe such absurd words, but it was Lu Qingshan who said them, so she had to believe it.
Moreover, the next moment, Mrs. Mo's reaction immediately confirmed what Lu Qingshan said.
"How do you know this?" Mrs. Mo's pupils shrank slightly, and she looked at Lu Qingshan's handsome face and asked in surprise.
