Chapter 66 Looking at the Well(1/2)
The Zhang family is undoubtedly the leading family in the old Chu area, and its power and status are not much worse than when Grand Secretary Zhang was in power. This naturally depends on the fact that Old Master Zhang is really capable of living, but only the people of the Zhang family know that Old Master is really a difficult master to serve because he has many quirks.
It's okay to talk to the sky, but he actually has a preference for digging wells. After moving back to the old capital from the south, his first thing was to dig a few wells in his house. As Zhang's house grew bigger and bigger, more wells were dug in the courtyard. Walking through the corridors, bypassing the shadow walls, and under the trees in front of the flowers, the dark wellheads could be seen everywhere. Naturally, it was not safe. Moreover, the old man who liked to look at the wells was getting weaker and weaker. What if he made a mistake? So in the past two years, the Zhang family sealed most of the wellheads with iron bars.
"It's a big fuck that he's blocked. You guys can help me!"
Old Master Zhang waved his crutch and shouted with a blushing face.
The granddaughter held his arm and looked at his grandfather's gray hair. A sad feeling surged in his heart and gave his father a wink.
The head of the Zhang family sighed helplessly, waved his hand to signal the manager to open the iron bars from the wellhead, and stepped forward to hold his father's other arm.
Surrounded by dozens of well-known masters, wives, young masters and ladies in the Zhang family, Old Master Zhang began to look at the well.
When he walked to the well called Yongquan, he held the wall and looked at the bottom of the well, and was silent for a long time.
The family looked at him worriedly, fearing something happened.
"This well is most similar to the well in the south..." Old Master Zhang murmured.
The Zhang family has actually not understood why this well is called Yongquan. You must know that the water in the capital is not abundant, and you have to dig it very deep to see the water. There is no spring.
"You don't know, that guy is talking... even better than me, keeps squirting water, tsk."
Not sure what interesting memories came to mind, Old Master Zhang showed a smile on his wrinkled face.
Suddenly, his smile disappeared on his face, his body shook twice, and a mouthful of blood was spewed out.
Blood fell on the well wall and slowly flowed downwards.
There was a burst of exclamation in the yard, and everyone rushed forward to help him leave.
Old Master Zhang's hands were like iron, holding the edge of the well, staring at the dark bottom of the well, his pale face was full of sadness and anger, and shouting: "Your Majesty, kill her!"
Listening to this sentence, everyone's faces changed, thinking to himself, the old man had reached the last moment, otherwise why was he so confused?
Everyone knew that the Majesty he called was the last emperor of Chu.
The emperor died with the cruel Qin Emperor many years ago.
What are you calling him to do?
...
...
Punch, Punch.
A blue bird ignored the hostility of the iron eagles, landed on the top of Yunxing Peak, and turned into a human.
Qing'er looked at the speechless Master and disciple Jing Jiu and Ping Yongjia, and said a little uneasy: "What should have happened, although I don't know how he knew."
A bloody sword light illuminated the thick clouds and mist, and Zhao Layue also rushed over from Shenmao Peak, obviously very worried about Jing Jiu's situation.
Ping Yongjia was still in the shock brought by Jing Jiu's request and asked, "Master, what do you want me to do?"
Hearing this sentence, Qing'er and Zhao Layue vaguely guessed what Jing Jiu was going to do.
Qing'er can guess because she is the same as Ping Yongjia, while Zhao Layue knows Jing Jiu's secrets.
It is obvious that Jing Jiu's request to Hei Yongjia is just like Liu Ci's request to him during the Battle of the West Sea.
Now that Chengtian's sword sheath has been destroyed, only Ping Yongjia may order Qingshan's swords.
If Jing Jiu wanted to use the Qingshan Sword Formation to kill Bai Zhenren, he had to hold Ping Yongjia in his hand.
The problem is that in this way, Ping Yongjia's life and death will be equal to being in the hands of Jing Jiu, and Ping Yongjia can no longer violate his will.
The clouds and mist surround the mountain, and naturally carry the sword intent, giving rise to a rude feeling, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhao Layue glanced at Jing Jiu and said to Ping Yongjia: "The head wants to borrow a sword."
"Borrow a sword? I don't have a sword..." Ping Yongjia said in confusion.
Suddenly, he figured it out.
He is like a fire carp, just naive, not really stupid.
There are so many things in the past that are still vivid in my mind, but he never thought about it. Until today, Zhao Layue said the word "borrowing a sword".
Yes, he has never had a sword. After sleeping on the sword peak for a few years, he learned to use the invisible sword body.
When he was in Chaoge City, the sky was full of sword rain, but it did not hurt him at all.
There are many details, such as Jing Jiu just asked him if he knew why he wanted to become the lord of Sword Peak?
"So...I'm a sword too?"
Ping Yongjia pointed at herself and said, after the initial shock and anxiety disappeared, she felt a lot of happiness.
If he knew that he was not a human being but a sword when he first entered the Qingshan Mountain, he would definitely cry every night and feel in pain. He might even report to the teacher and ask himself if he was going to be imprisoned in the sword prison to accompany those demons and monsters, but now... the master is just a sword, so what's wrong with me!
But the master wanted to borrow this sword... He had already sensed that the Chengtian sword sheath was destroyed and understood that it was the thing that Master feared the most. No wonder Master said so serious and solemnly.
Ping Yongjia's eyes gradually became firmer, just like in Chaoge City, forcing out all the sword intent in his body, and then stretched his hand towards Jing Jiu.
Those rude sword intents left his clothes and body and naturally turned into sword light, illuminating the dark cliff.
Looking at this scene, Qing'er's eyes were a little strange, and Zhao Layue was a little impressed. If she had agreed to Jing Jiu's request, it would have been different after all.
Jing Jiu suddenly laughed at the sword lights that floated out of Ping Yongjia's body.
This is a rare thing for him.
Zhao leyue suddenly felt a lot of uneasiness.
Jing Jiu said, "I am not borrowing a sword, I just want to ask you for something."
Ping Yongjia asked in surprise: "Ah? What the hell is it?"
"Don't kill me." Jing Jiu said to him.
The mountain peaks became quieter, even a little deadly.
The shrill cry of the iron eagle came from outside the clouds and mists.
Jing Jiu continued, "Even if I want to kill you, don't kill me."
Ping Yongjia opened her mouth, not knowing what the master was talking about.
"If I become a person like my senior brother in the future, and want to destroy this world, or destroy your lover whom you cherish more than the world, don't kill me."
Jing Jiu finally said: "Anyway, no matter what happens, you can't kill me, nor can you imprison my freedom."
Qing'er and Zhao Layue understood what he meant and their expression changed slightly.
Ping Yongjia finally understood, with an incredible expression on her face, she waved her hands nervously, and shouted, "How can this be done! Isn't this the opposite?"
"People cannot lift themselves..." Jing Jiu said.
Zhao Layue suddenly cut off his words and said, "Yes."
Jing Jiu glanced at her and said, "That's flying, it's two different things."
Then he continued, "I can be a sword, but I can't be a swordsman at the same time."
Yes, he can be a sword.
The most powerful sword since its creation.
The sword once killed the ancestor Kirishima in the sky of the West Sea to Nanji. He once cut open the Lieyang Gorge with one sword, destroyed the mountain gate of Xuanyin Sect, and illuminated the turbid water overnight, killing countless monsters.
Who is qualified to use this sword?
Liu Ci died, Taiping Zhenren died, and the Queen of Snow Kingdom learned the Chengtian sword technique, but he calculated it very accurately and sent it directly to Tianwai.
More importantly, the Chengtian Sword was also destroyed, and no one in the world could use this sword.
So he came to Jianfeng and stood in front of Ping Yongjia.
"No." Zhao Layue said.
"Since you have guessed his origin, you should know that he should be able to do this."
Jing Jiu said: "Everyone thought I destroyed the Qingshan Sword Formation. In fact, as long as he is there, the Qingshan Sword Formation can always be rebuilt."
Zhao Layue stared into his eyes and said, "Since that's the case, why don't you join forces with him to rebuild the Qingshan Sword Formation and then kill Bai Zhenren?"
Jing Jiu said: "Reconstructing the Qingshan Sword Formation is too slow, and the sword Formation itself is also slow."
If it is slow, it will be too late as he has sighed.
Zhao Layue summoned the Fusijian and said, "With it, you can also bring Buer and the Universe Front and form a Zhuxian Sword Formation."
The Fox Sword is the fastest among the swords in the green mountains and even among the swords in the world.
"You know, this sword is not as fast as me." Jing Jiu said calmly.
Zhao lvyue looked at the sky outside the clouds, his short hair was even more messy by the mountain wind, and his face looked very stubborn.
"I still don't agree."
"He can trust."
"No, I don't even trust myself in this matter. Liu Shisui can't do it, no one can do it!"
