Before Hua Cheng even got close,
Xie Lian had already pounced forward.
This pounce was very powerful.
Hua Cheng actually didn't take three steps back. His body didn't even shake. He just put his hands on Xie Lian's back and chuckled without saying a word. Xie Lian was rejoicing when he suddenly remembered something.
He hurriedly said, "Wait for San Lang! Di … Junwu is quite afraid of you.
You should be guarding the human array in the Imperial City.
He must have sent people down there to keep an eye on you.
If you just disappear like that, he will probably notice. Moreover,
Will there be a problem if only the Wind Master guards the array? "
Hua Cheng said, "Don't worry, brother.
This has already been taken care of. There won't be any flaws for the time being. "
Xie Lian guessed that he probably blocked the eyes that Junwu had sent down.
Or perhaps he left a fake skin underneath. He didn't ask how it was taken care of. At this time,
Hua Cheng leisurely said, "It seems that brother really misses me."
"…"
Xie Lian thought of the messy words he had said to Jun Wu when he was communicating with him in front of him.
He then noticed that he was holding onto her tightly and hurriedly let go and stood up straight.
He solemnly said, "… En.
En. You said that you needed someone's help. So it was the Rain Master. "
Hua Cheng smiled and said, "That's right. The Rain Master is in the lower realm all year round.
Coincidentally, when Bronze Cauldron Mountain opened, he was alarmed. At this time, returning to the Heavenly Court to take a look was very common sense. And if Junwu didn't let her come up or couldn't come up with a strong reason, the Rain Master would definitely notice something was wrong. So, of course, he could only let the Rain Master come up. Brother, it's okay. You can continue pouncing like just now. I don't mind. "
Xie Lian coughed lightly and said, "Thank you, but no … But why didn't he touch the Rain Master?"
Hua Cheng said, "Brother doesn't know. The Rain Master is the official in charge of agriculture. Although this official position seems to be dusty and not very profitable, so no one is interested in it, it is very special. Currently, there is only one official in charge of agriculture, the Rain Master Huang. "
Xie Lian was deep in thought. He had already figured out the key points. Hua Cheng continued, "If you directly kill the Rain Master, the Rain Master might not be able to find a better official to take over agriculture. If agriculture isn't going well, the world will be in chaos. If you don't give people food, people won't give you food. Other than being dissatisfied with the Rain Master, the people of the world might also be dissatisfied with the Great God above the Rain Master. In other words, the fire might burn him. If I don't control it properly, it might cause a disturbance. "
In other words, they had destroyed his temple and toppled his statue, just like what the people of the Xian Le Kingdom had done in the past.
Hua Cheng continued, "Moreover, the Rain Master doesn't have a temple and doesn't stay in the Celestial Capital. He doesn't have any desire to climb up the ranks, and he doesn't have any leverage. Externally, it would be very difficult for him to find a suitable reason to demote the Rain Master, so it would be difficult for him to act. Internally, he would let the Rain Master continue to be in charge of farming. Only then would his position be stable. Thus, if he could avoid falling out with him, he would not do so. I'll hide it for now. I'll think about it when I can't hide it anymore. "
Xie Lian wiped his sweat and said, "So that's how it is. So dangerous, so dangerous. The Rain Master's willingness to help was a timely help. Look at her superb acting skills. That's right, we have to look for the Imperial Tutor first! There are a lot of things that we have to ask him to clarify. "
The two of them didn't waste any more time and quickly left Xian Le Palace. The moment they stepped out of the door, Xie Lian was startled by the row of guards guarding the door. Just as he was about to have Ruo Xie slap them unconscious, he discovered that these guards were all like wooden statues. Not only their postures, but even their expressions didn't change. They had actually been frozen in place by Hua Cheng.
As they walked, Hua Cheng's wristband shone with a clear and crystalline silver light. Along the way, they transformed into silver butterflies that gradually lost their color and disappeared into the air. In just a short while, he had probably scattered hundreds and thousands of Dead Spirit Butterflies throughout the Celestial Capital. Along the way, they went up and down, appearing and disappearing, perfectly avoiding all of the patrolling guards.
Hiding in an alley, they watched the rows of patrolling guards walk past. Hua Cheng said to Xie Lian, "We've passed this section. The next section is up."
Xie Lian nodded and jumped onto the roof with him. The two of them, one in front and one behind, leaped onto roofs and vaulted over walls, coming and going without leaving a trace. After a short while, Xie Lian landed on a corner of an eave. He suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Hua Cheng, looking pensive.
Seeing him stop, Hua Cheng also stopped and said, "What's wrong? Did you sense something?"
Xie Lian frowned slightly, shook his head, and pondered, "No. "No, I just feel that this situation seems to be … …"
Before he could finish speaking, Hua Cheng suddenly grabbed him by the waist. In the next moment, the two of them 'fell' from the eave.
Xie Lian felt the sky and earth suddenly spin. Up and down, he was upside down. His bamboo hat slipped off his back and was about to fall to the ground. Hurriedly, he used Fishing for the Moon from the Bottom of the Sea and lightly grabbed it back. It was Hua Cheng who was hugging him. The two of them hung upside down from the corner of an eave. On top of the eave, something was quickly crawling past.
Xie Lian wasn't unfamiliar with that sound. It was the sound of the fetus crawling!
He didn't know if it was swaggering around the Celestial Capital or what it was doing. At this moment, another voice came from below. "Wrong, wrong, wrong?"
Gladiolus!
Xie Lian's heart cried out in alarm. That fetus was still guarding the eave, but the gladiolus was walking over from below. Wouldn't they be discovered no matter what? Xie Lian didn't dare say how the gladiolus would react. Would it remember Hua Cheng's life-saving grace, or would it loudly call for help?
That frivolous and messy footstep was getting closer and closer. It looked like it was about to turn around. Thankfully, at this moment, that fetus finally jumped down from the other side of the eave.
The two of them immediately flipped over and climbed onto the roof. Xie Lian let out a sigh of relief.
The gladiolus stuck half of its body out from behind a corner. Seeing its son jump onto the ground, it also let out a sigh of relief. Coming out, it said, "Wrong, wrong! Don't run around. This place is strange and scary. If you disappear, I won't even know where to find you … … Why did you come here?! "
She casually swept her gaze around and saw the signboard of this great hall. She took two steps back. Seeing her reaction, Xie Lian finally remembered that the golden hall under their feet seemed to be the Nan Yang Hall.
In other words, Feng Xin was currently locked inside!
The gladiolus must also be aware of this point. Her face twitched slightly. After a while, she lowered her head and scolded the fetus, "What are you doing here?!"
That fetus was hugging a thick and plump white thing. It was even making "kacha kacha" sounds as if it was chewing on it. The fetus asked again, "What is that? What are you randomly eating? Quickly spit it out! "
Xie Lian took a closer look and discovered that it was an extremely sturdy white radish. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Needless to say, that fetus clearly felt that the taste wasn't good. It fiercely spat out the radish and shrieked incessantly, as if it was throwing a tantrum. The gladiolus hurriedly went over and hugged it, coaxing, "Alright, alright, alright, alright. If it doesn't taste good, then don't eat it. These are things that poor brats and idiotic gods like to eat. We won't eat them. "
Only a biological mother would hold such a deformed and terrifying thing in her arms and even comfort it in such a gentle voice. The fetus twisted its plump and white body in her arms and let out a satisfied cooing sound. Xie Lian couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of pity when he saw this scene. However, he also felt strange. "How could there be such a big radish in Immortal Capital?"
Hua Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother, did you forget? The Rain Master brought you some local produce that grows in the ground. "
"…"
So this was the gift that the Rain Master had given him!
Xie Lian tried to imagine what kind of expression Jun Wu would have when he opened the wooden box and saw that there was a big white radish inside. He just couldn't imagine it. His attempt failed. It seemed that after Jun Wu finished inspecting and didn't find anything suspicious, he casually fed the big white radish to the fetus.
It was as if he was feeding a dog.
Originally, after the fetus spat it out, it used its leg to kick the big white radish away in disdain. However, when it heard the gladiolus's words, it seemed to have thought of something. It jumped down from its mother's arms and skipped over to pick up the big white radish before skipping into the hall. If one didn't look closely, it really did look like a naked, hairless white dog. The gladiolus said, "Don't go in! That's … "
The guards in front of Nan Yang Hall had probably been told by Jun Wu that this fetus was either his pet or a hunting dog, so they didn't turn their eyes away and didn't stop them. As a last resort, the gladiolus could only follow them in. The fetus seemed to be very hostile towards Feng Xin. Xie Lian was worried that it would harm Feng Xin, so he turned his head and asked, "San Lang?"
A transparent butterfly perched on the tip of Hua Cheng's finger as he said, "The Dead Spirit Butterfly has already attached itself to her body."
Xie Lian nodded. The two of them monitored the situation inside Nan Yang Hall together. They watched as the gladiolus bent her waist and tiptoed into the hall, as if she didn't want to be discovered. In a low voice, she said, "Wrong, wrong — —"
However, it was impossible to not be discovered. The fetus hopped into the main hall. There was a person meditating inside the main hall. When he opened his eyes, he saw her face to face. Both of them were stunned.
Feng Xin was stunned at first, but then he became happy. He stood up and said, "Gladiolus! Why are you here? Are you alright? You came at the right time, help me … … "
At this moment, the fetus suddenly cried out loudly and jumped between the two of them. It spat out the radish onto the ground and kicked with its hind legs. The big white radish that it had bitten off a few times flew up and hit Feng Xin's face, making a loud 'dong' sound!
After it kicked him, it was still arrogant as it cried out and laughed sinisterly, as if it was waiting for its mother to praise it. Feng Xin was practically knocked unconscious by this thing. A stream of blood flowed down from his nose on the spot. Wiping it away, he angrily said, "What are you doing?! Be a bit more obedient! "
He was fierce, but the fetus was even fiercer. It screeched and spat out its tongue at him. Feng Xin took a big stride forward to grab it, but the fetus opened its bloody mouth and bit down on his arm. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake it off. This familiar scene was both terrifying and funny. Feng Xin couldn't shake it off, so he became even more furious. "F * ck!!! I really f * ck!!! Are you looking for a beating?! What the hell?! "
The gladiolus also regained her senses and said, "Stop! What qualifications do you have to hit him and curse at him?! "
Feng Xin was stunned for a moment after being yelled at by her. His imposing manner dropped by half as he tried to explain, "He … … He recognized a thief as his father?! How could he be on the same side as Jun Wu … … How did he become like this?! "
The gladiolus spat out, "How could this be? Isn't it all because of you?! It's the father's fault for not teaching him well. If it weren't for your incompetence as a father, would your own son have been dug out from his mother's womb and made into this kind of thing? What ghost, you gave birth to a ghost! "
As she cursed, Feng Xin took a step back. His voice also became much softer as he said, "But … … but I didn't know at all. And at that time, you were the one who told me to get lost first … … "
The gladiolus said, "Ha! I told you to get lost, so I helped you! Every day, you come to this old lady's place with a dejected and lifeless face. This old lady is sleeping next to you, how could I not know what you were thinking?! You had to serve that crown prince of yours, and you also had to gather money for me to redeem myself. You were in a mess, tired and annoyed! You were too embarrassed to fling your sleeves and leave, so I might as well send you on your way! "
Feng Xin said, "I was very tired at that time! But I didn't bother you! I wanted to redeem your freedom! "
The gladiolus poked his chest and said, "Come on! Redeem myself, you know clearly in your heart that based on your ability at that time, could you redeem the value of this old lady at that time?! Every day, you couldn't wait to split a coin into two and spend it. Every day you were a street performer and you had to show filial piety to your crown prince father and emperor. It was already good enough that I didn't throw myself at you, and you expect me to redeem myself? When and how long will it take! "
Feng Xin said, "You didn't say that in the beginning, we clearly had an agreement! I will definitely fulfill the words I said … … "The gladiolus interrupted him and said," There are many verbal vows, but think about it, what did you give me? What can you give me? Other than that golden belt, what else can you give me? Oh, it's that golden belt, you even repeatedly warned me not to sell it! "
Feng Xin retreated step by step from her poking, his face was stiff and embarrassed. The more the gladiolus spoke, the angrier she got, "Still that stupid protective talisman? I was blinded by lard to believe that bullshit protective talisman of yours could protect people. Not one bit of good luck, but one after another bad luck! You, the money is getting less and less, and your temper is getting worse and worse. If I don't let you go, what else can I do? Endure until you die?! Endure until you start to complain that I hate me, annoy me, and don't want to see me anymore?! "
"… …"
Not only Feng Xin, even Xie Lian who was currently in Nan Yang Palace Hall didn't know what to say.
So it was like this.
Xie Lian recalled many things. At that time, Feng Xin went out early and returned late, his face full of fatigue, inexplicably happy, inexplicably worried Feng Xin, and also Feng Xin who had a hard time borrowing money from Xie Lian.
The original small abnormalities, suddenly had an explanation.
Feng Xin was Xie Lian's attendant, his good friend, but not his subordinate. He could originally have his own home, his own relatives, and had already met these people. But, it just had to be when Xie Lian was demoted for the first time, when they were at their most difficult period.
At that time, Xie Lian could not even protect himself, how could he care about these things.
He was suffering, Feng Xin was also suffering. Everyone was suffering. In the end, the two of them finally could not endure it anymore. Perhaps, the gladiolus had long foreseen this outcome.
But, even at that time, Feng Xin still did his best to support him. He even gave a talisman that no one was willing to take to the gladiolus, telling her that this thing could bring good luck, so the gladiolus carefully kept it, and placed it in the clothes of the unborn child.
Of course, in the end, that talisman did not bring them any good luck at all.
The gladiolus seemed to realize that he had said something he should not have said, and picked up the fetus spirit on the ground, wanting to leave. Feng Xin: "Gladiolus!!!!"
He scratched his head, and actually had a rare expression of sighing.
Feng Xin: "You … come back. I still … sigh, I feel that I, I … want to take care of you guys. I should take care of you guys. I have a responsibility, I promised you. "
The gladiolus turned, and stared at him for a long time, hugged the fetus spirit in his arms tightly, and snorted: "Forget it. I know, you despise this son of yours, he is a ghost in your eyes. It's fine, I don't despise him. "
Feng Xin finally recovered, and retorted: "I don't despise him!"
The gladiolus said: "Then why are you so fierce to him every time? Can you really treat him like your own son? "
Feng Xin: "As long as he can be changed, why can't I?"
The gladiolus sneered: "Then let me ask you again, you are a Heavenly Official, do you dare to recognize him?"
Feng Xin was startled.
This was a matter of course. That fetus spirit was lying in its mother's arms, and bared its teeth at him, like an ugly poisonous insect that had not fully grown, or like an incomplete evil beast's cub, but not like a human.
