Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 97: Anyone with a bad heart can be killed

Chapter 97 Anyone with a bad heart can be killed

Tang Wanzhuang looked at Zhao Changhe's apologetic smile and secretly thought to himself that this guy has always been unruly and lawless. When had he ever shown such an apologetic attitude?

Because of Xia Chichi?

It would be a bit troublesome if he was really infatuated with a demon sect girl... But no matter what, in the early stage of cooperation, he must not do anything to alienate him, and we will leave it for later.

She had no intention of making excuses, and slowly got to the point: "The Four Elephants Sect must have come here for the sword in the Ancient Sword Lake. The Four Elephants Sect has also conducted many sacrifices here in the past. It is estimated that they have indeed found some ways to summon the ancient sword... They may even have summarized some of the habits of the ancient sword."

Zhao Changhe gave her a cup of tea: "What next?"

Tang Wanzhuang looked a little funny at his appearance, and said leisurely: "The imperial court has its own reasons for not taking this sword. The collapse of the last era, the chaos of the universe, formed many space cracks, or dimensional fragments, scattered all over the world. Square. Through the crack, there may be a scene from the past, floating alone in the void; or it may be only violent and turbulent, and there is no way to survive."

Zhao Changhe understood what he heard: "So the bottom of the Ancient Sword Lake actually leads to a dimensional fragment. It can be said that it no longer exists in this world. No wonder it can't be found after so many years."

"Yes." Tang Wanzhuang was very satisfied with his erudition, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to ordinary people what dimensional fragments are: "If the whole world is not the king's land, does this alien space count? Your Majesty's intention , there is no need to force it, just leave it to chance. These places often have some ancient secrets, and they are also opportunities for people. They cannot stop people from coveting the sky."

Zhao Changhe was surprised: "Is this the idea of ​​an emperor? This shouldn't be... shouldn't he be monopolizing resources..."

Tang Wanzhuang glanced at him and said nothing.

This is indeed not the idea of ​​an emperor. She admires His Majesty's magnanimity. But it doesn't seem to be necessarily a good thing. Nowadays, there is chaos, and Xia Longyuan's grandeur may have to bear some of the blame.

She was not suitable to talk about His Majesty, so she just said: "In short, this is Your Majesty's goodwill towards the people, and it is absolutely not false. Although there must be many dangers, there must be heroes rising among the dangers - Yue Hongling is like this. What she relies on now is not the inheritance of the Sanliu Luoxia Villa."

Zhao Changhe nodded and said: "I understand. Please continue."

"The same is true of the Ancient Sword Lake. We all know that it is an alien space, and there is indeed a divine sword hidden in it. The fact that the imperial court did not deliberately go to retrieve it does not mean that we have not explored it. If anyone feels that the imperial court It would be wrong not to do it because we don’t know how to do it. We know how to do it, but we think it’s a little tricky and haven’t implemented it.”

"So what's the difficulty?"

"It was supposed to be the sword of a pair of lovers in ancient times. Before the era collapsed, the man might have been betrayed, and the woman died sadly. But just as the era collapsed, the sword had a spirit and tried its best to protect the body of its master. Isolating the dimension and hiding at the bottom of the lake. The sun is turning to summer, which is probably in line with the man's spiritual practice. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he can use some psychic methods to make the sword visible."

Zhao Changhe understood: "The purpose of its appearance is essentially to think that the heartless man is here to kill the heartless man for its master, so it will be very fierce. Whoever it sees will kill whom?"

"That's not the case. Now that you have a dragon bird, you should know that the so-called sword spirit does not really have a self-thinking life, it is just a kind of intention. The master's strong hatred for the heartless man was poured into it before his death. If it cannot sense It's just that it has a sense of betrayal. It may not take the initiative to kill people. But if it notices it, it will definitely kill people, including those who break promises. The judgment given to it is similar." Tang Wanzhuang sighed: " However, how many people in the world dare to say that they can prevent it from killing people... So every time it appears, someone loses his life."

Zhao Changhe folded his hands and sat obediently.

He felt like he might be chopped into pieces.

Chi Chi, that dead demon girl who rarely speaks the truth, is probably very suspenseful...

Tang Wanzhuang said: "The Four Symbols Sect is very powerful, and they may have found out these clues, but after all, they act secretly, and it is unlikely that they can investigate as carefully as we do. It is still very possible that they know what is happening but don't know why. Big. So they can just give up. If they still want to implement it, what do you think they will do?"

Zhao Changhe thought for a while: "Perhaps he was relying on force and thought that someone would step through the murderous situation and stabilize the sword and it would be controllable, so he might find a gentleman to help them get the sword and then steal it."

"Yes, I guess the same, and it is in line with the behavior of the Demon Cult...but that's bad." Tang Wanzhuang said: "Assuming that the sword is willing to be held by a gentleman, it means that the sword has been recognized as the new owner. The new master was killed in less than a moment. Ask Longque what he thinks."

Longque: "..."

Zhao Changhe Waterfall Khan.

As the second most arrogant dragon and bird, if it had the ability to move on its own, it would definitely go crazy and kill everyone present. This is even more true for the opponent's vicious sword, which is full of hatred. It originally judged that the surroundings were surrounded by a group of dishonest and treacherous people, but it actually killed its new good master. How can it not be crazy!

Tang Wanzhuang said: "We haven't been able to find out how many masters the Four Symbols Sect has come. They are hiding a bit deep. But in order to get a sword that is not related to the beliefs of the Four Symbols Sect, it can only be regarded as an ordinary treasure hunt. , it will definitely not be possible to dispatch powerful people like Suzaku, there will be more people on the list, then it may not be possible to control the crazy sword..."

"Yes." Zhao Changhe nodded and said: "After all, the sword is not a human being. It does not hurt, is not afraid of injury, and is light and sharp. It is difficult to limit. We still don't know how magical the ancient sword is. If it can really It’s more spiritual than a dragon bird, and if it can fly around and kill people, it’s very, very troublesome.”

Tang Wanzhuang nodded: "That's right, and with its ancient power, there is a high possibility that this sword will actively kill people. Once it escapes from the restrictions of the Four Symbols Sect and goes out to wreak havoc, the entire Jianhu City may be slaughtered. It's all over the place, we don't want to see this happen, we must stop it, these are the details of your mission."

Zhao Changhe asked: "Where are the people from the Four Symbols Sect? Does the Demon Suppressor have any clues? Maybe I can talk to Chichi directly."

"They were cautious. They found out that the Demon Suppression Division had strengthened their strength, so they moved. They did not find a new address in a short time. This is the reason why this task is given to you. You may be able to communicate with Xia Chichi. If you can convince her, It’s best to give up on this mission. If you don’t want to give up, you must not use that method.”

Zhao Changhe was worried about Xia Chichi and had no intention to say more. He stood up and cupped his hands and said: "I know, I will handle this matter well. Leave first."

Zhao Changhe left the bamboo building worriedly. Tang Wanzhuang slowly stood on the edge of the railing, leaning on the railing to see his back as he strode away. The breeze blew by, and she coughed softly a few more times.

Finally a maid came out from nowhere and put a cloak on her: "Miss, since you are here in person, you can just guard the Sword Lake and suppress the Four Symbols Sect so that they cannot act rashly. Why did you let him go? Doing this? He is only at the fourth level of the Profound Gate. Neither the guardians from the Four Symbols Sect nor the ancient sword itself can handle it."

Tang Wanzhuang shook his head slightly: "I will protect him secretly and won't let anything happen to him. This mission is just to give him a reason to integrate into the Demon Suppression Department. Otherwise, I would not be so easy to talk to the Four Symbols Sect and would only stop him from doing anything. Just do it?”

"Ah?" The maid was even more confused: "He...since he is not a prince, what is the use of integrating into the Demon Suppression Division?"

"The integration is an official status, not the Demon Suppression Division. It also allows onlookers to understand my Tang Wanzhuang's judgment that he is the prince." Tang Wanzhuang coughed lightly again, and after a while he whispered: "When everyone regards him as a prince, he will naturally be a prince, and his denial is meaningless."

The maid quipped: "Miss, does this count as cheating on him? You said you didn't ask about his identity, but you couldn't care about others. What was your original intention..."

"If asking him to be the emperor is a scam... ahem... let's forget it." Tang Wanzhuang spread her palms and looked at the blood she coughed up: "After all, I don't have much time... years."

When Zhao Changhe met Tang Wanzhuang in the bamboo building, Han Wubing also met people from the Four Symbols Sect.

"Master Han, do you want a good sword?"

"Not bad, do you have it?"

"I don't have it, but there is it in Gujian Lake."

"The legend is false."

"No, it's true, and we have a way to make it appear. Mr. Han might as well take a look. If it's true, you can take it. If it's not, just leave."

"Who do you need me to kill?" Han Wubing's first reaction was that he killed someone to buy a murderer, otherwise there would be no way for him to give you a sword.

"Maitreya teaches Zhang Banfo, you should listen to it."

"He..." Han Wubing pondered for a moment: "It's very difficult. You need to wait until I see the sword before talking about it. Now?"

"The day of the Beginning of Summer."

"I have an appointment that day, let's change it."

"If Mr. Han is planning a martial arts competition, it can be in the evening, and the sword can be taken in the daytime. There will be no conflict."

Han Wubing thought about it for a long time, but finally his desire for a good sword took over. He nodded and said, "Okay, then Li Xia, how can I find you?"

"Young master, you will know when you come to the lakeside." The man said sincerely and slowly backed away.
