Chapter 79: Fun, isn't it!
Chapter 79 Fun, isn't it!
Wang Sumo's words stunned everyone in the carriage, and soon a chill ran down their spines.
Rejuvenation and disguise—these things combined are chilling.
If Bai Cen were here, he would definitely say, "This is too weird!"
Wang Sumo gathered his thoughts: "Old Liu, no matter what, you'd better not stay in Liu Village any longer."
Although Su Jin doesn't know about Zhu Weng's matter yet, if word gets out that Wuyoumen's disguise technique still has a successor, both Lao Liu and Liu Village will be in danger.
Liu Che also said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, Dad, A-Yu and I didn't know there was more..."
Liu Zhaoting shook his head: "It's none of your business. Back then, to avoid implicating Old Man Zhu, I didn't even tell him, for fear of bringing trouble to Liu Village. After this incident, I've finally made up my mind. Hiding isn't a solution. I've been hiding for almost my whole life. In the end, I have to find the truth and comfort the spirits of my master and fellow disciples. This is for the best. It severs the ties. You and A-Yu can also leave Liu Village and go on your journey in the martial world."
“Father.” Liu Che looked at him.
Liu Zhaoting said in a low voice, "Liu Village has taken us in for so long, it's time to give them peace."
Wang Sumo also comforted him: "Things haven't reached the final stage yet. As long as the Su Jin lineage doesn't react in time, there won't be any trouble. Cutting the Gordian knot isn't entirely a bad thing."
Liu Zhaoting nodded; he thought so too.
"So where do you plan to go next?" the old man asked.
Liu Zhaoting took a deep breath and then smiled, "I'll set off after I've finished what I promised you all. Over the years, I've managed to find out some clues. But this is my business, and I don't want A-Che and A-Yu to get involved."
"Father, we are on the same page. There is no interference from either of us," Liu Che said firmly.
Liu Zhaoting patted his shoulder and said gently, "Ache, back then, Zhu Weng and I went on a trip to a distant place to buy supplies. On the way, we encountered bandits who were ambushing travelers. Zhu Weng and I only had time to save you and Ayu, who were still infants. It was because your mother protected you with her body that we were able to save you. I took you home, and Zhu Weng took Zhuyu home. After that, you two grew up by our side. It was fate that brought us together as father and son. But now that fate has run its course. I have unfinished business to attend to, and your life has just begun."
Wang Sumo suddenly felt a connection to this sentence.
"Ah Yu is reckless. The reason Zhu Weng's whereabouts were discovered before was because Ah Yu secretly used his skills and was caught by the Su Jin lineage. Fearing punishment from Zhu Weng, he didn't dare to say anything. The Su Jin lineage then used this to threaten him, forcing him to go down into a large tomb with them. Ah Yu is indeed talented, and Zhu Weng also passed on all his knowledge to him. The Su Jin lineage found Zhu Weng, wanting to invite him down into the tomb, and also wanting Ah Yu to go with them. Possessing a treasure is a crime. In the future, when you two travel in the martial world, you must hide your talents."
"Father." Liu Che's eyes were slightly red.
"Ah Yu?" Wang Sumo realized, "You mean that skinny little vegetable root?"
Liu Zhaoting nodded: "Yes, Cai Gen'er is small and thin, so he is very suitable for digging secret passages because he is least restricted and it is easiest for him to escape. Back then, he was discovered by Su Jin and was afraid of being punished by Zhu Weng, so he was lured by Su Jin to secretly go down into the tomb once. He came back with a narrow escape. It was agreed that he was not a member of Su Jin's lineage and he could take one thing from the tomb, but after he came out, Su Jin went back on his word and took away what he took."
"He never dared to tell Zhu Weng that the thing was also stored in the warehouse of the casino's stronghold by Su Jin. Su Jin's lineage is tomb raiding, and probably no one expected that someone would dig a secret passage right under their noses. They chose a place that was not easy to dig a secret passage in the first place, but A Yu is really amazing."
Wang Sumo sighed, "So, when we went to the casino just now, Zhu Yu actually sneaked in through a secret passage to retrieve that thing?"
Liu Zhaoting nodded: "Miss Wang guessed correctly."
"No wonder I didn't see Cai Gen'er when we came out earlier, now I understand." Wang Sumo crossed his arms: "After that, aren't you afraid the Su Jin lineage will come looking for you?"
Liu Zhaoting shook his head with a smile: "When the item was first taken out, the Su Jin lineage didn't know its value, so it was just piled up in the warehouse. Even now that A Yu has taken it, they probably won't even notice. A Yu left a note in Zhu Weng's tone, calling them villains. They'll probably just think it's Zhu Weng's revenge."
"With this matter concluded, A-Yu, A-Che, and I will all leave Liu Village. The Su-Jin lineage was originally the court's lapdog, and they won't target the entire Liu Village to draw attention. Therefore, this matter is settled."
Wang Sumo, always eager for a good show, asked curiously, "What exactly did Zhu Yu take from the tomb? Getting revenge is one thing, but it's so risky to sneak into a dangerous place to retrieve this thing?"
Liu Zhaoting and Liu Che both lowered their heads and smiled.
Finally, Liu Zhaoting spoke: "Old Zhu's wife passed away a long time ago. She loved jade, and Old Zhu wanted to be buried with her after his death, taking that jade bracelet with him. But when he was little, Ayu was naughty and broke the bracelet. Old Zhu didn't scold him, but Ayu was very upset and always remembered it. That time when he went down to the tomb, he didn't take anything except that jade bracelet. Actually, jade wasn't worth much in the tomb, but Ayu was overjoyed for a long time..."
"But later, the Su Jin lineage felt that there might be another secret behind this bracelet. Why did A Yu only take this one and not the more valuable one? So they kept it. A Yu was resentful and remembered it for a long time. Now that he is about to leave, before he leaves, he wants to bury Zhu Weng and his wife together. So A Yu is thinking about that jade bracelet. It has a different meaning in his heart, so he has to venture into the dragon's den and the tiger's den."
"Humorous," Wang Sumo said, resting her chin on her hand. She hadn't expected such a commotion. The tunnel they dug had led them right to the gold-digging base of a manor. And this was the whole story.
Wang Sumo sighed, "That jade bracelet was originally down there too. Now, after going around in circles, it has returned to the bottom. Originally, it was just an inconspicuous burial item in the tomb. Now, in the tomb of Zhu Weng and his wife, it has become the best thing to express their longing. It has found its rightful place."
It all started when I went to Liu Village to make some kitchen knives for Zhao Tong. I never imagined that things would turn out so much more complicated.
That's quite an experience...
"Miss Wang, Senior, thank you all for your help today. My son, A-Yu, and I will definitely keep our promises." Liu Zhaoting cupped his hands in thanks.
Wang Sumo looked at his hand. In fact, if the Su Jin lineage had looked closely, they could have seen the flaw.
Old Liu's palm was severed in front of the Su Jin lineage.
Therefore, the actor playing Zhu Weng always used a cane.
Using a cane prevents people from taking a close look at his hands.
Wang Sumo whispered, "Your palm is already..."
In truth, Wang Sumo knew that Zhao Tong didn't care much about kitchen knives, or even fish-cleaning knives. He was just used to them, not like the rumors that the fish-cleaning knife was a divine weapon that complemented and enhanced the great demon Zhao Tong. In reality, it was just an ordinary kitchen knife.
This happened to be when Zhao Tong's kitchen knife fell in Shanhe Town, and I also happened to hear that Old Liu from Liu Village knew how to make kitchen knives in Xishui Village. That's how it happened.
Therefore, whether or not it's a vegetable or a knife, it shouldn't matter to Zhao Tong.
Although she didn't know why Zhao Tong was willing to come, it probably had little to do with the kitchen knife.
As soon as Wang Sumo finished speaking, Liu Zhaoting smiled and looked at Liu Che: "Ache, in the past, your father has always been reluctant to let you forge weapons. This time, before your father leaves, let's forge a real divine weapon together, shall we?"
Liu Che's eyes suddenly welled up with tears: "Father...good!"
Liu Zhaoting patted his son's shoulder hard: "You be my right hand, let's be father and son together!"
Wang Sumo was inexplicably ignited by what she heard, but it was hard not to be ignited by the atmosphere between Liu Zhaoting and Liu Che just now!
But just at this most exciting moment, the carriage curtain was suddenly lifted, and Zhao Tong's cold face appeared before them, completely out of place with the enthusiastic and exciting atmosphere inside the carriage.
Even more out of place were the two live ducks that Zhao Tong was carrying!
Inside the car: "..."
Zhao Tong probably noticed, and then said softly, "We're having roasted duck with fruitwood today. There are quite a lot of people, so I bought two ducks."
around:"……"
However, Wang Sumo was the first to cover her face and burst out laughing.
For Zhao Tong, that "divine weapon" was probably not as important as the raw materials for his fruitwood-roasted duck, the two live ducks!
"I might need to reserve a spot, so I asked the shopkeeper for a dozen bundles of fruitwood, cucumbers, and..." Zhao Tong seemed to think it was a bit outrageous, so he coughed lightly twice with his fist clenched, then whispered, "...and a roast duck oven..."
This time, the entire car interior erupted in a gasp of surprise.
*
No one expected that this trip to the fortress would end like this.
When Old Master Weng and Zhu Yu returned to the carriage, it was so full that there wasn't even a gap left!
Old Master Weng, along with Zhao Tong and Zhu Yu, squeezed together in the driver's seat of the carriage. Wang Sumo, Liu Zhaoting, and Liu Che shared the same roast duck oven, along with two ducks, a pile of cucumbers, fruit wood, and a whole bunch of other miscellaneous things in the carriage.
The four men driving the carriage had never ridden in such a crowded carriage in their lives!
The carriage was so crowded that four people had to sit in the driver's seat outside the carriage!
Zhu Yu and Zhao Tong each had half of their bodies suspended in mid-air!
In short, no one else can do this!
Grandpa Weng kept laughing, but then he got annoyed: "Laughing, laughing, you drive the car!"
Old Master Weng said leisurely, "Old Qu, this really needs you to do it. The people on both sides have half their butts sticking out, so you have to be careful later, otherwise they might think that because they are far apart, two people will fall off every two trees."
The old man knew perfectly well that he did it on purpose, and he was practically baring his teeth in disapproval!
He angrily swung the reins around in his hand.
If a small pebble is run over, the entire carriage will sway back and forth several times.
Zhu Yu, a man who had been to the Great Tomb before, was trembling with fear: "Senior, please take it easy..."
Today is truly amazing. I thought the casino, the most difficult place, would be peaceful, but before we even came out of the secret passage, we were first tricked by Old Master Weng, who poured boiling water on us. And now we have to ride in this dangerous carriage!
He didn't actually have to sit...
I have a feeling this is going to go wrong!
There was also a huge roast duck oven inside the car!!
Zhu Yu found it difficult to describe his feelings at that moment.
He was even more nervous and reserved than when he went down into the tomb with the Su Jin lineage.
And just like that, he was yelled at by the old man: "What are you yelling about!"
Zhu Yu was a little confused.
Grandpa Weng laughed out loud from his seat.
Even Zhao Tong couldn't help but laugh.
Zhu Yu had a headache. Were all the old men at Bazhenlou this fierce?
Much fiercer than Grandpa!
Compared to this, the stick that Grandpa used to beat him suddenly seemed thin. But there were two rows of dense trees in front of him, and the old man didn't slow down at all. It looked like he was about to rush straight through them.
Zhu Yu cried out nervously, "Hey hey hey hey hey! Grandpa! Grandpa! Ah!!! Grandpa!!!"
He had dug the secret passage for so long before finally retrieving the jade bracelet!
If it were to crash like that and fall to the ground, the bracelet would break no matter where you put it!
"Grandpa!!! Ahhhhh!" Just as Zhu Yu was about to cry, the old man suddenly frowned, and the carriage came to an abrupt stop.
This time, because the carriage suddenly stopped, Zhu Yu was so focused on protecting the jade bracelet that he was thrown forward at the same speed as before.
He didn't reach out and grab it properly.
Good heavens!
Just when he felt he was about to fly away, the old man reached out and grabbed his collar firmly, which kept him hanging safely in mid-air and prevented him from falling completely.
The old man was completely focused, frowning as he looked ahead. He didn't have time to look at him or put him down, so he just kept holding him by the collar.
Zhu Yu was already thin and small, but it shouldn't be that the old man was carrying him like this. The old man himself didn't seem tired at all. It could only be that the old man was stunned. Compared to what he had seen before, he had overlooked this.
Beside him, not only Old Master Qu, but also Old Master Weng and Zhao Tong had the same expression. His collar was stuck in the upright position, so he could only turn his head to peek over and see what was in front of him.
The outside of the carriage was alright, but there was a large stove inside!
This sudden, unprovoked stop kept Wang Sumo, Liu Zhaoting, Liu Che, and the others in the carriage very busy.
Especially Liu Che!
Father's palm was broken, and the carriage stopped so suddenly that the stove slammed into it. Fortunately, Liu Che was strong enough to block it.
Liu Zhaoting reacted quickly; before the fruitwood and cucumbers that Alliance Leader Zhao wanted to use for roasting duck flew away, he pulled on the ropes that were binding them. It was just a hair's breadth away, and Liu Zhaoting breathed a sigh of relief.
Right here at Wang Sumo's place, out of the blue, both the man and the two ducks were about to be lifted into the air.
If she tries to reach the ducks, she'll have to fly away herself!
If she doesn't reach for the ducks, they'll fly away!
In the end, the only option was to let the duck fly away!
"Gagagagagagagagaga!"
The duck never expected that you were all going to roast and eat it, and then you even threw it off the carriage halfway through, leaving both ducks in a daze from the pain!
Wang Sumo was also somewhat bewildered.
The old man is always a careful driver; even when driving fast, he is always aware of his surroundings and cannot possibly do something like this.
Just as the duck flew away, the car stopped.
The carriage had doors at both the front and back. The duck flew out through the half-window at the back. Afraid that the duck would escape, Wang Sumo opened the partition, lifted the curtain, and got out of the carriage to catch the duck.
But the ducks' wings were tied, and the two of them fell together, squealing in pain, unable to run. So Wang Sumo picked them up and threw them back into the carriage.
Wang Sumo asked Lao Liu to keep an eye on things for a while, then clapped his hands and went to see what was going on.
It would have been better if he hadn't looked. But once he did, Wang Sumo couldn't help but cross his arms, looking both amused and annoyed at Bai Cen, who was driving a carriage and looked disheveled, as if he had just escaped from somewhere. He looked like he was about to burst into tears. Bai Cen, who was usually very tidy, was now sporting a messy, bird's-nest hairstyle!
"You've been chased by a dog!" Old Master Qu finally came to his senses!
The old man found Bai Cen's gloomy appearance both amusing and exasperating.
But after the old man finished speaking, Bai Cen was really about to cry: "They really were dogs, a whole pack of dogs! Some were running on the ground, and some were flying in the sky, eagles, a whole flock of eagles! And dozens of riders chased after us all the way!"
The people at Bazhenlou: "..."
Wang Sumo has a big head.
Bai Cen: o(╥﹏╥)o, I've finally met you all.
Zhao Tong sighed inwardly: Finally, I don't have to ride in such a crowded carriage anymore.
Old Master Weng hissed softly, "Eagles and dogs again? Did you run into the Eagle Clan and get smashed? How did you escape?"
Bai Cen was still shaken, but at this point, he suddenly became excited: "Wow~ I used so many mechanisms! The mechanisms of the Eight Treasures Pavilion!!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the old man finally lost his temper, grabbed the whip and charged forward: "Having fun, is that it!"
Hey hey hey! Grandpa, Grandpa!
Before Bai Cen could even feel a little happy, the old man chased him all over the mountain with a whip.
The old man was truly angry this time. Despite possessing the Cloud-Piercing Mountain-Splitting Hand technique, he was so enraged that he resorted to using a whip.
Wang Sumo had a headache and started making a fuss again.
However, Wang Sumo stepped forward to take a look and saw that many of the mechanisms had been used, indicating that they must have encountered a difficult situation...
