49 Linglong Dice for One’s Safety 2
by Jessie@AFNCCSeeing him leaving, Lang Qianqiu immediately said, “Stop!”
Xie Ren really stood still. Lang Qianqiu gritted his teeth for a while, saying, “You …… have to give me an explanation.”
Xie Ren said, “What explanation do you want?”
Lang Qianqiu said, “Ancestral grudges, national hatred and family feuds, you hate Yongan, it’s not that I can’t understand. But ……”
He choked for a while before he was able to barely speak, and said in a trembling voice, “But Master Guo–I and my father and mother, are not good to the people left behind in Xianle Kingdom? I’m good friends with many of the Xianle people, and I, I’ve always done my best to protect them.”
What he said, every word of it is true.
After Xianle’s destruction, many of the remnants of the old country never forgot their identity, and even when Yongan founded the country and began to rule, this part of the population and their descendants still referred to themselves as Xianle people, and often clashed with the new dynasty’s nationals.
The first few generations of Yongan royals were suppressed with strong policies, brutally killing a lot of Xanaku relics who resisted. In turn, there were many Xian Le people who made alliances and plotted to assassinate Yongan’s princes and nobles, and they succeeded several times, thus, the grudge became deeper and deeper.
However, when it came to the generation of Lang Qianqiu and his parents, they had adopted a very different and gentle attitude towards the remnants of the former dynasty. They had always tried to integrate the people of the new dynasty with the remnants of the old, and had even considered the almost absurd step of making the descendants of the Xianle royal family kings, despite the opposition, in order to show their sincerity and treat them with respect. Lang Qianqiu himself had never been prejudiced against the Xianle people because of the hatred of his predecessors.
The Fangxin Master of the Year was extremely mysterious, never revealing his identity, so no one knew which side the murderer of this bloodbath of the Gilded Banquet was on. However, the feud between Yongan and Xianle was so deep that whichever side of the two sides had an incident, the other side would be recognized as the mastermind behind it. The Yongan royal family and court officials who had escaped with their lives believed that there must be the power of Xianle’s remnants manipulating this matter, and therefore, many of them voiced their opinions, hoping to use this as a reason to completely liquidate the Yongan country’s Xianle’s remnants. However, these suggestions were all rejected by Lang Qianqiu.
His resolute, save the lives of countless innocent Xianle people, so that they do not have to be flew into trouble, inexplicably slaughtered by the whole family. Only, nowadays, looking back again, how good he did at the beginning, how aggrieved he is now.
It’s not that I don’t think it’s worth it, but I feel aggrieved. Doing the right thing is never not worth it, however, obviously one has given goodwill, but did not get the corresponding goodwill of others, it is inevitable to be aggrieved.
Lang Qianqiu’s eyes were crimson as he questioned, “State Master, where did I not do enough? What did my parents do wrong? So that you must do this to me?!” The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and he barely managed to raise his upper body under Ruo Xie’s restraints, saying, “Don’t you think you have to give us an explanation?!”
Xie Ren said, “I can’t give it out.”
He answered dryly, choking Lang Qianqiu back a breath and said, “State Master, you’ve changed so much. Once upon a time, you weren’t like this.”
“…… “Xie Ren knuckles rubbed the tip of his eyebrows and said, “I remember I told you a long time ago, you don’t take the liberty of setting up a sacrosanct and inviolable monument to me in your heart, I’m not what you think I am. In the end, it is you who will be disappointed.”
Lang Qianqiu lay back on the ground and muttered, “…… Which is the real you, the previous you or the current you, I can no longer figure it out.”
Xie Ren said, “It’s all me. But once upon a time you were only seventeen years old, and now that you’re so old, it’s natural to teach you different things.”
Lang Qianqiu closed his mouth and, suddenly, said, “Is it because your seventeenth year is a hurdle that you want to make my seventeenth year a hurdle as well?”
Xie Ren didn’t say anything.
Seeing that he didn’t answer, Lang Qianqiu’s anger surged up, holding his breath as he yelled, “If that’s what you’re saving up for, I’m not going to do what you want!!!”
At those words, Xie Ren’s eyes widened slightly.
Lang Qianqiu couldn’t stand up, but his gaze was starry and his voice resounding, as if there were white flames burning in his pupils. As if he was gambling, but also as if he was declaring war, he said sternly: “If you want me to become full of resentment like you, I will not! If you want to force me to give up on myself like you, I will never. Never! –No matter what you do to me! I will never become like you!!!”
These words of bravado made Xie Ren’s entire being dumbfounded. It was only after a long time that he puffed and finally burst out laughing.
Lang Qianqiu tears, a passionate, roar is high, but by this laugh zap leakage of air, immediately a burst of consternation and anger. Xie Ren was laughing and clapping at the same time, the more he laughed, the more unrestrained he became, saying loudly, “Good!”
He couldn’t remember the last time he’d laughed so heartily, and it was easy to stop, rubbing his eyes, nodding, and saying, “Good. Remember what you said today. You are never going to turn out like me!”
Hua Cheng had been holding his arms and watching with cold eyes. As soon as Xie Ren’s sentence fell, suddenly, a burst of red smoke exploded in front of him!
Cold and unexpectedly such an explosion, Xie Ren was taken aback, thinking that it was Lang Qianqiu who had made some strange move, and hurriedly avoided it, staring at the guard. However, although the explosion was loud, it didn’t seem to have much lethality. Only when the smoke dispersed, Lang Qianqiu original lying place, the silhouette disappeared, only left a standing in place left and right swaying undefeated.
This not fall down head and body are round, like a big gourd, long eyebrows and black eyes, tiger head, tiger brain, naive, at this moment is staring eyes, angry bulging, back on the back of a wide-bladed big sword, godly, it is precisely Lang Qianqiu that look, but turned into a doll love the big toys. Xie Ren withdrew his smile and said, “Qianqiu?!”
Ruoxi, without the tied man, swished and wrapped it back around his wrist. Flower City idly walked over and bounced on the un-twisted man, snickering, “This man really does grow such a silly look in any form.”
Xie Ren propped up the undefeated man, cried and laughed, saying, “This …… this …… Sanlang, is this Qianqiu? How did it become like this? You don’t play with him, quickly change him back.”
Hua Cheng, however, said, “No. Take him along.”
Xie Ren said, “Walking to where?”
By this time, the two had arrived in front of a narrow cave. Without answering, Hua Cheng tossed a dice and it landed on his palm, and after looking down, he took the lead and entered the cave.
Turning a person into a tumbler, this spell is really naughty, extremely flower city style, but also very difficult to solve, anyway, Xie Ren can not solve, and do not dare to guarantee that other magi can solve, only to take the thousand autumn tumbler in the hand, about to catch up. Suddenly remembered that Fangxin is still thrown on the ground, hastily turned back to take the sword, to the back of a back, followed the flower city walked in.
He wanted Hua Cheng to undo the spell, but Hua Cheng was noncommittal. The two of them hadn’t been walking in the cave for a while, the narrow cave at the entrance was getting wider and wider, the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty cave, and there was a fire and singing faintly coming from the front.
When Xie Ren was looking for the Joy Place in the Ghost Market, he also heard a burst of singing first, however, the songs of those Joy Place elf girls were warbling, as if they were whispers of a gentle land, mesmerizing people. But this burst of singing was like a group of devils dancing, messy and hard to hear, the two could not be mentioned in the same breath. Xie Ren couldn’t help but say, “Sanlang, what is this place?”
Flower City whispered, “Shhh.”
Originally, Xie Ren’s voice was also very soft when he asked the question, and when he heard it, he simply had to hold his breath. Soon, he realized why it was quiet. From the opposite side of them, several clusters of greenish flames floated in. Only after these clusters of flames floated closer did he see that they were a few little ghosts dressed in green.
Each of these little ghosts had a light on their heads, and it seemed like a big green candle from head to toe. There was nowhere to hide in this cave passage, so it was a narrow path. Xie Ren’s backhand was about to hold the Fang Xin on his back, however, he immediately remembered that he should use Ruo Xie and put his hand down again.
Who knows, but those few little ghosts swept a glance at them and ignored them, continuing to whisper while walking forward. It wasn’t like they didn’t see them, it was like they saw them but were not surprised. Xie Ren took a look at Huacheng, standing beside him, where was the handsome red-robed Ghost King? It was clearly a pale little ghost with a green flame on his head.
Originally, I don’t know when, the flower city has given both of them have changed a fake skin. Xie Ren thought that at this moment his head must also be topped with a green oil lamp, couldn’t help but touch the top of his head, said: ”This is why it’s so hard …… ”Why do you make such a clean appearance?
Although he didn’t say it explicitly, Hua Cheng obviously understood what he meant and said, “Green Ghost Chi Rong, I’ve already said that he has low taste. The little ghosts under his hand are all dressed like this.”
Unexpectedly, Flower City had actually brought him to Green Ghost Chi Rong’s territory.
In the past, listening to the heavenly world and the ghost world mentioned the green ghost Qi Rong, have to mock a few sentences of his low taste, Xie Ren is not very understand why, now that he learned that his underlings are unified to be dressed in this way, finally a little bit of understanding. Simply listening to the “green lamp night tour” this sentence, but also has a few trace of treacherous elegance, however, if it is such a simple and crude literal meaning of “green” “lamp” night tour, that with his original However, if it is such a simple and crude literal “green” and “light” night tour, it is still a bit different from what he originally imagined. Xie Ren said, “Hasn’t his cave been destroyed by you a long time ago?”
Flower City said, “It was terminated, but he escaped. It took fifty years after escaping to build a new nest.”
Xie Ren tucked Lang Qianqiu’s Undying Womb into his arms, looked around to see that no one was around, and whispered, “Sanlang, did you come here to look for the Green Ghost? Why don’t you first undo Qianqiu’s spell and let him go first, then I’ll accompany you?”
Hua Cheng, however, said in a tone that brooked no refusal, “No, you take him. I want Lang Qianqiu to meet someone.”
Xie Ren heart feel strange, look at the reaction of the flower city, clearly is not very think highly of Lang Qianqiu, will specially let him go to see what people? At the moment, there are two sides of the dilemma, it is not good to say more. After a while, the two finally walked out of the cave. After the front opened up, more caves appeared in front of their eyes.
Holes were dug out on all sides of this mountain, with caves connecting to caverns, and caverns connecting to caverns. At the entrance of each cave, there were demons and devils with a green lamp on their heads going in and out, as if it was a huge hive of bees and ants. If Xie Ren were to walk alone, he would definitely not be able to remember the way after walking for a while. However, Flower City was as if she was in her own home, traveling through the various caves without hesitation and with ease, as if she knew the route by heart.
Both of them were cloaked in the skin of the Green Flame Kid, seeing that no one was stopping them along the way, Xie Ren sighed in relief, Hua Cheng thought he was sighing and said, “What’s wrong?”
Xie Ren said, “Nope, I thought you would break into the mountain head-on, but I didn’t realize you were sneaking in. Not very good at fighting, so I was relieved.”
When he says he’s not very good at fighting, he means it. Fighting is good, but aftermath is not. When Hua Cheng heard this, he seemed to smile for a moment and then said, “Last time, I just broke into the mountain head-on, but Chi Rong ran away when he got wind of it. This time I want to find him personally, so naturally I can’t give him notice.”
Xie Ren thought, ”Could it be that the person Sanlang wants Qianqiu to meet is the Green Ghost? What’s the relationship between these two? Hey, I don’t know what exactly he wants to do, anyway, let’s accompany him first, and slowly ask him to undo the spell on Qianqiu as well.” Because he still remembered that he had burned down Flower City’s Extreme Bliss Place, it was inevitable that he was weak. As he was thinking, he only heard Hua Cheng say again, “This punk can’t do anything, but his vigilance is very high. Little ghosts can’t get close to him, and all of his minders are not good at disguising themselves. There is only one way to get close to him.”
At this time, four brats were talking and laughing as they walked head on. Hua Cheng slowed down his pace, and Xie Ren followed suit. Only to see that behind these four green-clothed little ghosts, they were actually dragging a line of living people with ropes.
This group of living people had ragged clothes, there were some richly dressed ones, and they all looked like young men and women under thirty years old, there was also a small child, tightly gripping the corner of a young man’s coat, about a father and son who had been captured. Their hands were bound and they were walking in this devil’s cave, all of them looked terrified and wanted to faint. Hua Cheng brushed past them, then turned around without a trace and followed the end of this line. He only gently pressed his elbow against Xie Ren, and Xie Ren maintained a synchronized movement with him, and when he looked at Hua Cheng again, he actually changed his skin again in an instant, and this time, it was a young boy with a clear brow, probably of a similar type himself.
The team made seven turns, traveling through the cave. The little green ghosts in front seemed to be very satisfied with their job, always remembering to show their authority, and were always shouting at the team behind them, saying, “All of you, be honest, don’t cry! Crying with a face full of snot and tears will make us lose our appetite, and we will teach you to know what it means to be worse than death!”
In the so-called four great evils of the ghost world, the other three absolute, have never heard of them eating people, only the green ghost Qi Rong still can not give up the craving, no wonder to be colleagues and the enemy at the same time taunted “can not be on the stage”, “can not be opened to the world”. Just now, Hua Cheng said that there is only one way to get close to Green Ghost Qi Rong without being detected by him, and it seems that it is to blend into the ingredients. Xie Ren walked while going to catch Hua Cheng’s hand, the first time to catch, feel Hua Cheng a stiff, seems to want to withdraw his hand. Xie Ren is not unaware, however, at this time the situation can not think much, he held tightly in the palm of the flower city, gently wrote a word in the palm of his hand: “save”.
Since he had been allowed to see it, the group had to be saved, and this was the action that Xie Ren himself wanted to take after informing him of it.
After writing this one word, Hua Cheng gently closed his fingers and held his hand. A few moments later, the team exited the cave passage and entered an extremely large cave.
As soon as he entered the cave, a dark and pressurized thing came into his eyes, Xie Ren squinted his eyes, and before he could see it clearly, he realized that Hua Cheng caught his wrist with his backhand and wrote a few words on the back of his hand, “Be careful of the top of your head. Don’t touch.”
At first, Xie Ren also thought that the cave is hanging above many pieces of cloth hanging down, who knows fixed eyes, pupils suddenly shrink – that which is what pieces of cloth? It is clearly a large group of black, densely packed people, feet up, head down, hanging in mid-air.
Upside down corpse forest!
However, although there was a forest of upside down corpses, there was no rain of blood falling, because these, all of them were dry corpses, and there was no blood to be shed long ago. The expressions of the dry corpses were all extremely painful, with big long mouths, and a layer of snow-like crystals on their faces and bodies. That is salt.
The deepest part of the cave, brightly lit, there is a huge chair, a long table, gold cups and jade, its opulence, not like a deep cave, but like a palace banquet hall.
The four brats drove a group of people toward the pot, and when some people saw this, they were so frightened that they fell to their knees, and in the midst of the fighting and cursing and pulling and tugging, Xie Ren suddenly felt the arm of Huacheng beside her stiffen and stop her pace.
He turned his head to look, only to see that although Hua Cheng was still topped with that clear-eyed teenage face, a monstrous rage had ignited in his gaze.
Although Hua Cheng was always smiling, Xie Ren knew very well that his emotions were, consistently, well and deeply hidden. Xie Ren had never seen the color of such fury flow out of his gaze. He followed Hua Cheng’s line of sight and in the next moment, his breath froze in general. Only to see that in front of that magnificent giant chair, there was a person kneeling.
At first glance, it was a person, and at second glance, it was actually a stone statue of the same size as a real person. This stone statue is very peculiar, carved into a kneeling posture, back to him, downcast, a glance looks like a vivid is the “lost dog” this four words portrayal. It is conceivable that the only purpose of carving such a statue was to humiliate this man.
And Xie Ren didn’t even need to turn the front of this stone statue over to know that the face of this stone statue man must be exactly the same as his.
