Chapter 916: Illusion Array "Ruins"
The next morning, Yang Liushi went to find Xu Quan before dawn and told him the truth.
There is no doubt that Xu Quan was confused after hearing this.
He never thought that Wei Changtian had already guessed what he had done, or that all this was part of Wei Changtian's plan.
He had been worrying about his fate so much that he couldn't sleep all night, but now he realized that he was just scaring himself. Xu Quan looked at Yang Liushi pushing the door and leaving with a dull look, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
While he was in a daze, Yang Liushi, who had completed the task, had already returned to the room and woke up Wei Changtian, reporting excitedly: "Husband, wake up!"
"I just went to explain things to Master Xu!"
"Um?"
Leaving Mengdao, Wei Changtian rubbed his eyes, yawned and asked, "How is it, what did he say?"
"He can't say anything else."
Yang Liushi covered her mouth and laughed, "From the time I entered the house until I left, Master Xu was like an idiot, just with his mouth wide open, not saying a word."
"Okay, let him digest it slowly."
While Wei Changtian was putting on his clothes, he casually said, "Don't forget to ask Zhang San to release the man."
"Don't worry about Zhili for now. If she asks, just say I was just testing them yesterday."
"Anyway, this matter cannot be concealed. Xu Quan will tell her the truth sooner or later."
"This is all I can do to help him. Whether they can succeed depends on Xu Quan himself."
He got out of bed, walked to the table and drank some herbal tea. After giving a few brief instructions, Wei Changtian stretched lazily.
"By the way, let Xu Quan ask what the effect of the holy fruit is."
"If it really is a rare treasure, we won't return the remaining three."
"ah?"
Yang Liushi was smiling at first, but was stunned when she heard this.
"Husband, you really won't return it?"
"Do you want to pay it back?"
Wei Changtian did not answer directly, but asked Yang Liushi jokingly: "After all, these holy fruits must be of great benefit to your demon race. Wouldn't it be better if we took them for ourselves?"
"This slave listens to my husband."
Yang Liushi hesitated for a moment, and it was obvious that she was quite conflicted.
But in the end she nodded quite seriously.
"If my husband doesn't intend to return it, then I won't return it."
"Hahaha, I'm just teasing you."
Seeing Yang Liushi's attitude of "recognizing relatives but not principles", Wei Changtian finally couldn't help but laugh and said, "It still has to be returned. Zhili will most likely follow Xu Quan in the future. We can't even rob our own family members."
"Husband!"
Realizing that she was being played, Yang Liushi blushed and protested in shame and anger: "You have already made up your mind and you still ask me!"
"Haha, I'm just asking casually."
Wei Changtian looked at Yang Liushi, smiled, and then shook his head meaningfully:
"Didn't you ask me last night why Zhili fell in love with Xu Quan?"
"I think I understand now."
"I"
Yang Liushi was stunned and didn't react at first.
But after a moment, she seemed to have figured something out, and nodded slowly with a complicated expression.
"Yeah, I see."
After breakfast, Wei Changtian went out.
Xu Quan has been released and will probably see Zhili soon.
He didn't care what the scene would be like when the two met or what they would talk about.
Wei Changtian believed that Xu Quan must understand his "good intentions" and should be able to handle it.
What's more, this kind of "love" is just a trivial matter after all, and he has more important things to do right now.
Su Qi has already declared an "uprising" and is tentatively planning to send troops to the capital of Daqian tomorrow morning to fight against the "tyrant".
Obviously, before the troops are officially dispatched, there are still many details such as food and fodder that need to be taken care of.
Especially the 200,000 Daqian surrendered soldiers. Although they were temporarily forced to rebel and join the uprising army, everyone knew that they would not really be willing to serve Wei Changtian.
So we must make plans in advance . In this way, Wei Changtian discussed with Su Qi in Linchuan government office for another whole day, and they barely agreed on some important matters to come.
Li Zimu is in charge of most things, so he doesn't have to worry too much.
The most crucial thing is how to capture the capital of Daqian in the shortest time possible, or kill Jing Guoqing.
Wei Changtian had already planned for this matter, and had even made arrangements in advance before arriving in Linchuan, so he was still confident at the moment.
However, Su Qi is still pessimistic about all this, so he won’t mention it here for now.
In short, after a busy day, all the preparations before the uprising have been basically completed, and we just have to move camp and march west tomorrow morning.
At dusk, Wei Changtian, who came out of the government office, did not return to the inn, but took Yang Liushi to the "ruins" of Yun'an Temple.
A temporary fence has been built around the large empty area of loess, and officials are guarding it at all times.
Ever since Yun'an Temple disappeared out of thin air, the government has blocked off the place and no one is allowed to enter.
However, Wei Changtian was definitely not within the restrictions of "anyone", so he soon stood again among the messy and desolate rocks and sand, looking around curiously as if he was traveling.
It was too dark the night before, and he was worried that something might happen, so he did not stay long after breaking the formation. He immediately left with Yang Liushi and Gu Paner without having time to take a closer look.
When he came in again today, Wei Changtian discovered something was wrong.
The source of the abnormality was the black stone pillars standing among the rocks.
These stone pillars are not "illusions" but "entities" standing in the formation. They can be seen after the formation is broken.
At that time, Wei Changtian only thought that these were part of the illusion array and did not examine them carefully.
But now when he tried to smash the stone pillars, he found that they were not stones, but a kind of black wood.
It's not dyed, the wood seems to be black in nature.
Apart from that, there is no difference between it and ordinary wood. If I have to say something, it is that this black wood has not rotted for three hundred years, which feels a bit strange.
"What kind of wood is so weird?"
Wei Changtian took a piece of wood and looked at it again and again, muttering something to himself.
Yang Liushi, who was standing by, thought for a while, then said softly, "Sir, this should be ebony."
"ebony?"
"Well, it's also called Chenyin wood, which means it's black."
Yang Liushi nodded: "It seems that these should be the ones, but I don't know why there are these dark wooden pillars here."
"Shenyin Wood"
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "Why does this name sound so creepy."
"Goose, goose, goose, it's the right person."
Yang Liushi smiled and explained, "My husband, this dark wood is the best material for making coffins."
"To make a coffin?"
Wei Changtian's eyes froze and he looked down at the yellow soil under his feet.
Yang Liushi's smile disappeared in an instant, replaced by a hint of surprise.
Both of them seemed to suddenly think of something and slowly turned their heads to look at each other.
The dark wood, the loess, the small earthen slope, and the people of Linchuan who were deceived by the illusion array and came here to burn incense and worship. Damn it!
Could this be a big tomb?!
