Chapter 191 Relics
Chapter 191 Relics
"I clearly destroyed the entrance to the underground palace before, why did he restore it?"
"This... I don't know either. I have been trapped outside this space for a long time. I don't know the details. I don't know why he recovered." Before Xun Yuanfeng could say anything, he said, "Two heroes, I have a treasure here that can greatly increase your strength. I will give it to you two. Please let me live."
Xun Yuanfeng pretended to be interested and asked, "What treasure?"
Li Zhixian saw his interested expression and thought it was safe. He showed a bit of pride on his face: "That is a relic. That relic can greatly increase one's power. One can make rapid progress in cultivation and become an immortal or a god!"
It was a good relic, but it did not have the effect of purifying the mind like other relic. On the contrary, it would make the user possessed by a demon. This relic was placed in the magic book together with the sutra given to Xuanzang. When he saw this relic, he discovered the demonic aura it exuded. This relic should be the property of the creator of the magic book, or it could be the relic transformed by the creator of the magic book. The person who could create this magic book could see the demonic nature of the relic.
There was only one relic. The two of them fought each other for the relic. The victor took advantage of the fact that the other man was distracted by the relic and gave him the final blow. Thinking of this, Li Zhixian almost couldn't help laughing out loud, but he tried hard to hold it back so that the two of them wouldn't notice.
"Oh~ Then where did you put the relic?" Xun Yuanfeng asked curiously.
"I put it in a secret corner of this space, but..." He looked as if he wanted to say something but stopped, not knowing whether to say it or not.
Seeing his superficial performance, Xun Yuanfeng's eyes turned cold, but he still asked according to his meaning: "What's wrong?"
"There is only one relic here. Which one of you two should I give it to?" These words were all meant to sow discord. Xun Yuanfeng didn't want to continue playing along with him. Did he really think the two of them were fools with such an obvious counter-espionage plot?
"You don't have to worry about that. You just need to tell us where to put it." Xun Yuanfeng said impatiently.
Hearing him say this, Li Zhixian's expression became stiff for a moment. He didn't expect that they didn't become enemies as he had expected, but it didn't matter.
Li Zhixian told them the location.
As soon as they left, he hid himself, and when the two of them started fighting over the uneven distribution of the spoils, he would be the one to intervene.
But a sharp green arrow cut off his thoughts. He never thought that he would die like this.
He looked at the two of them with resentment and resentment. Perhaps his eyes conveyed too much doubt and confusion, so Xun Yuanfeng explained mercifully: "I never said I would let you go. Why do you think I would let you go after you have done so many things that angered the heavens and the people?"
When Li Zhixian heard him say this, he looked at him with bloodshot eyes, and then used all his strength: "I curse..."
But before he could get his words out, Xun Yuanfeng covered his mouth and stabbed him with his sword. He disappeared unwillingly before he could finish his words.
"It was a close call that he almost said it out loud." Xun Yuanfeng patted his chest in fear. After all, according to the plots of novels and film and television dramas, he must never say curses out loud.
"Let's go and see the relic he mentioned." Xun Yuanfeng put away his weapon and said to Wendy.
"Traveler, do you think what he said is true?" Wendy asked as they walked.
“Hmm… half true, half false.”
"Oh~? Then why don't you ask clearly before killing him?" Wendy asked curiously.
"No need." He probably guessed it, and he lied in two places, one was about Ming Tuolan, and the other was about the person who repaired the underground palace. Ming Tuolan was actually the least necessary to lie, because the village chronicles recorded that the miasma caused by Ming Tuolan killed many people, and it was because of this monk Xuanzang that he stayed in this village until he was cured and left. It was obviously a very memorable thing. He was the village chief at that time and it was because of this that he got the magic book, but he tried to cover up that he didn't remember it. When he heard him say this, Xun Yuanfeng guessed that he was lying. But why? It was not until he asked the third question that Xun Yuanfeng noticed that his expression was wrong for a moment when he heard this question, and it was obvious that he knew that person.
Connecting these two points together, Xun Yuanfeng could probably guess that the Mingduolan was given to him to plant by someone, and this person was related to the man in white who had hidden and repaired the underground palace.
The reason why he stopped asking was because he could tell Zhao Li directly and let the people in the underworld investigate, without having to listen to Li Zhixian's half-truths.
This matter was closely related to the underworld, because when he asked the second question, Li Zhixian revealed a little bit, that at every certain time, a paper bride who matched the generated horoscope would descend upon this village. Why was he so sure? Because he knew, because someone could secretly manipulate the birth time and place of these people, and the only people who could do this were people from the underworld.
As long as they follow the clue of Ming Tuolan and ask the villagers of that year, they can continue to search based on this clue. In order to become the evil god, those ignorant villagers helped him do many crazy things. There must be people serving their sentences in hell, especially the first great wizard.
Thinking of this, Xun Yuanfeng's eyes became dim, and he finally caught the person behind the scenes.
"We're here. This is the place he was talking about." Li Zhixian said it was not hidden, but as long as you knew the location, you could basically find it. The relic was stored in a small box, which was placed in a very obvious place. It might be because he was in charge of this space and the broken souls here were also unconscious, so he put the box in the open without much concealment and without much vigilance.
"Is this the relic he mentioned?" Xun Yuanfeng opened the small box to check.
When he opened it, he saw the relic emitting an ominous black and purple aura. Before Xun Yuanfeng could react, he saw scattered black air merging into his body, and then his head sank.
