Chapter 125: Reminiscing about the past, Clover King
Shangguan Yujian didn't pay any attention to what was happening outside. No matter how powerful he was at the peak of the fusion realm, he was just a child in front of a half-immortal!
The latter was walking on a small path, surrounded by fog. With every breath he took, he could feel something trying to invade his body bit by bit and infect his origin.
"break!"
The two fingers of the jade sword were clasped together, and a sword light flew out from the fingertips, circling around him, isolating all the mist outside his body.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, a four-cornered pavilion appeared in front of him. Seeing this pavilion, Shangguan Yujian's eyes showed deep curiosity.
Along the way, everywhere else was dull in color and foggy;
But this place has bright light, vivid colors, and an overall sense of vitality. It seems that something is isolating the fog outside and preventing it from attaching to the pavilion.
The former looked behind him and moved his fingers. A figure walked out from behind him with golden light shining in his eyes. In an instant, the essence of the four-corner pavilion in front of him was instantly exposed to Shangguan Yujian.
Unexpectedly, this ordinary four-corner pavilion is actually a holy object! Moreover, it is a holy weapon with a concealment formation and is completely intact!
If in the past, when the Mist People had not gone deep into this place, even if he came here, he would not have discovered such a surprise!
This four-corner pavilion is so ordinary!
"take away!"
Shangguan Yujian clapped his hands, and the puppet behind him walked forward, uprooted the four-corner pavilion, and put it away.
"asshole!"
Almost at the same time, an angry voice sounded from underground, and an old figure broke out from the ground. His eyes that could not be opened seemed to be looking around, and the next moment, he stared at the puppet.
"Sir! This is my Xue family. You actually took away my Xue family's sacred artifact like this. This is really too much!"
Shangguan Yujian, who was standing by, took out a handful of melon seeds from somewhere and ate them while watching the show. He wanted to see who this old man who crawled out from the ground was.
"Since you don't explain, don't blame me for taking action!"
Looking at the puppet's expressionless face, the old man clapped his hands, rubbed the mud in his hands into bean-sized mud balls, and threw them on the ground.
call out!
Light breathing sounds continued to be heard, and finally became heavy. Those beans unexpectedly turned into guards, holding swords in their hands, looking at the puppet ready to go.
Scatter beans and you'll make an army!
"kill!"
The old man roared, and the clay figures all attacked at the same time, with flashing light, as if they wanted to bury the puppet here.
Ola Ola Ola Ola!
The puppet took a deep breath, then slapped both hands forward. Countless palm prints whizzed forward and instantly smashed all the clay figures into pieces.
The old man, who was hit back, had a stream of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and then he was knocked away by the oncoming palm print.
It fell heavily to the ground.
“You actually…”
"Stop! That's enough! No more villainous remarks!" Shangguan Yujian said silently, scattered the melon seed shells in his hand on the lawn behind him, stood up and walked over, saying with a slightly raised eyebrow.
"Tell me, where are the treasure house and ancestral hall of your Xue family?" Holding the old man's neck with his right hand and lifting him up, the former asked with a smile.
The old man slapped Shangguan Yujian's right hand frantically and shook his head.
“Hey!”
The latter tilted his head and sighed helplessly, "I have given you the opportunity, but you couldn't seize it and rejected the opportunity I gave you. In this case, let me help you get rid of the sufferings of the world and leave this world!"
Hearing this, the old man's face turned red, and he slapped Shangguan Yujian's right hand more eagerly, nodding frantically, indicating that he was willing to answer his questions.
But please put me down first!
You're pinching my neck like this, and I, an old man, can't say a word!
The latter blinked and said in shock, "Are you so eager to die?! Are you so loyal to the Xue family?! You are unwilling to exchange your life for a little information?!"
After asking three questions in a row, Shangguan Yujian fell into deep thought. After a while, the old man in his hand began to roll his eyes, and the intensity of his beating slowed down and became weak.
Until this moment, the former seemed to suddenly understand, and said with admiration
"I understand! No wonder you refused to answer questions. If I kill you, not only will you keep the secret of the Xue family and not be a traitor, but you can also get rid of the torture of the gray fog. This is really a good thing for you!
You are such a scheming dog! I almost fell into your trap! Soul search! ”
Shangguan Yujian said with a cold face, threw the old man to the ground, pressed his left hand on the old man's forehead, and a vortex appeared in the palm of his hand. The next moment, a transparent spirit flew out of the old man's head, or to be precise, it was pulled out.
The old man screamed and his consciousness collapsed instantly. He was originally weak and fainted.
Shangguan Yujian explored the spirit's memory, then crushed it directly and waved his hand with disgust.
"That's it? I thought you were a scheming person, but I didn't expect you to be a complete fool. You know nothing and you've been sleeping for too long!"
"Let's go to another place! The Xue family is so big, maybe we can pick up a few holy artifacts for free!" Shangguan Yujian chuckled.
Soon, the latter came to a house. This was where Xue Tianchi once lived. It was also the place where he was injured and fell. He was luckily rescued and survived.
He took a deep breath, walked forward and pushed the door open.
call out!
A sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a sharp flying knife came towards him. Shangguan Yujian took a half step back with his right foot, stretched out his left hand and instantly grasped the hilt of the knife. His pupils shrank slightly, and the tip of the knife was only three fingers' width away from his eyebrows.
When he came to his senses, he found that the floor under his feet had cracked. When he looked inside, he was stunned again.
There was actually an old man sitting on the sofa in the house. Unlike the man outside, his body had a green glow and there was a four-leaf clover pattern between his eyebrows.
There was no trace of gray fog inside the entire room, and the overall feeling was full of vitality, as if it was because of his presence that it became so.
“You are…?”
Shangguan Yujian did not sense any hostility from him, but he did not dare to be careless. He observed him carefully and walked in.
No answer.
After walking in, Shangguan Yujian discovered that the old man seemed to have entered a state of deep sleep, but his strength was constantly dissipating.
wrong!
The former's eyes focused. The old man's power was not lost, but all accumulated in the room, constantly absorbing and releasing, over and over again.
Is he protecting this house?
Shangguan Yujian frowned. He had never seen this old man before and had no impression of him at all. For a moment he didn't know how to deal with the situation.
Just ignore him.
As if he had noticed the entry of an outsider, the old man slowly opened his eyes and saw Shangguan Yujian with a look of nostalgia on his face.
"Who are you? Why are you allowed to enter here?"
The old man asked doubtfully. This house was under his control. No one had been able to come in for such a long time. They were all isolated outside by the formation he had set up.
So how did he get in?
"Ah, who are you?"
Shangguan Yujian hesitated for a moment and said, "I am Xue Tianchi's husband. I don't know who you are and why you are sitting in my wife's house?"
Hearing the latter's explanation, the old man frowned slightly, but when he saw the bracelet on Shangguan Yujian's wrist, he suddenly became excited. It seemed that he had not moved for too long. He moved several times but failed to stand up. He simply stopped moving and looked at Shangguan Yujian seriously, his lips trembling slightly.
"Old man?"
"Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. I am the Clover King. I once received some favors from Miss Xue Tianchi, so I come here every once in a while to help her clean this house."
Four-leaf Clover King?
Shangguan Yujian was shocked, but his expression did not change. "So that's how it is. But it has been so long since it happened, there is no need for you to keep it in mind, right? Besides, how do you know what Chi'er's condition is? ”
“Also, if someone comes here pretending to be Chi’er’s husband, how would you know whether it’s true or not?”
He suspected that the old man's appearance was not accidental. If he came once in a while, how could he fall into a deep sleep? Why would one go to such lengths to protect this house? How could she wake up just as he arrived?
The reason is not valid.
Seeing the alert look in Shangguan Yujian's eyes, the Clover King shook his head and said seriously, "Chi Er will be fine. One of the four-leaf clover leaves I gave her has not been destroyed, which at least shows that she is still alive.
As for how to prove your identity, your bracelet was given to you by Miss Chier, right? But she probably never told you that this bracelet was a magic tool I gave her. It was a token of love for her future boyfriend, right?
You don't have to be so wary of me. I won't hurt you. Now that I'm awake, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask! ”
Shangguan Yujian took a look at the bracelet and suddenly understood.
No wonder when he gave it to me, he told me so seriously not to take it off. It turned out to be an identity authentication.
"In that case, before asking other questions, I would like to ask why you are expending your own strength to protect this house? If I am not mistaken, you should have stayed here for a very long time, right?"
The Clover King nodded in agreement.
But it seems that he is not going to explain.
Shangguan Yujian did not give up, and said very seriously, "Senior, you should know that the ancestor of the Xue family practiced a forbidden technique that can seal the luck of the person who was hit and the fate of that family, right?"
Hearing this, the Clover King's eyelids twitched slightly.
Seeing this, Shangguan Yujian sat on the sofa, and seemed to be talking to himself, "Back then, Chi Er was slapped like this when she left in order to protect me. Fortunately, now I have finally found a way to crack it, and the introduction is to find the person who performed the forbidden technique back then."
"He is hiding in a corner of the Xue family now. I will find him today!"
As he spoke, he quietly observed the expression of the Clover King.
“Hey”
After a long while, the latter sighed deeply, "No wonder the four-leaf clover burned two leaves directly. It turned out that it suffered this kind of damage."
"I do know what happened to the person who performed the forbidden technique, but you can't find him now. He has..."
"He's dead, right? And he burned himself for the survival of their lineage?"
"You actually knew that?"
The Clover King suddenly stared at Shangguan Yujian and asked in confusion.
"Of course I know, and I may know more than you." Looking at the former's application, the latter smiled and said confidently.
Hearing this, the Clover King couldn't help but smile, "Young man, don't be so confident! How could I know less than you? I have been here for such a long time, and I know more secrets of the Xue family than the Tianji lineage has deduced!"
"oh?"
Shangguan Yujian pretended to be surprised and said, "So, you know that the person who performed the forbidden technique back then is still alive?"
"impossible!"
Hearing this, the former's face changed and he spoke sternly.
"I saw it with my own eyes when he died! The heaven and earth felt it, blood rained down, the earth trembled, and the sky showed a strange phenomenon of a phoenix falling to the earth! In this situation, whether he is dead or not, I know it better than anyone else!"
"But you are still deceived."
Shangguan Yujian said calmly, "Since you don't believe it, why don't you come with me to find something? His spiritual will is hidden in it! I guess even the ancestors of the Xue family don't know this very well!"
"Since they don't know, why do you..."
"Senior, it's really boring to ask this question!" Shangguan Yujian's eyes turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, "I passed by here today, but I was moved and came in to take a look! I have said enough to you! But you don't seem satisfied?!"
The Clover King's eyes also turned cold. "Young man, if you don't explain clearly today, I will never let you leave this house!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a green light surrounded the former and turned into a hard vine covered with poisonous thorns.
"Senior, do you want to use force?"
Shangguan Yujian sneered, "There are always some people who are extremely confident, thinking that they will be invincible if they break through the calm! Little do they know that they are still frogs in the well!"
The next moment, Shangguan Yujian's figure disappeared, and the vines broke into pieces, scattered on the ground, and then turned into powder.
"Young man, are you crazy?"
The Clover King did not think of trapping Shangguan Yujian with vines. He looked at the latter standing at the door and said in a low voice:
"I know what you're looking for! But it's very dangerous there! If you're not careful, you'll be crushed to pieces! It's simply impossible to take the thing out!"
Shangguan Yujian paused and said, "It's okay! For Chi'er, what's wrong with taking risks?"
What's more, there are five puppets given by the master to protect me!
As he spoke, his figure disappeared from the spot and the door closed immediately afterwards.
The Clover King sighed, followed the former to the door, stretched out his hands and opened the door.
Huh?
Huh? !
Huh? ! !
Who locked the door! Just leave if you want to. What do you mean by locking the door? !
The Clover King didn't believe it, and released two vines from his right hand, which stretched out, but they were pinched off in the crack of the door. Then a projection appeared in front of him, and said a lot of things with a bad face.
But he didn't understand a thing.
After the projection disappeared, the Clover King continued to test, constantly releasing various small plants to test, but without exception, all of them disappeared after passing through the crack of the door.
When he was about to use a four-leaf clover for the last time to test the situation outside, the projection appeared again.
Bang!
This time, when the man showed up, he said nothing and attacked him directly. He kicked him and knocked him down on the sofa. Then he took out a bundle of rope from his trouser pocket and tied his hands up.
Then he seemed a little worried, so he took out another piece of rope and tied up his feet as well.
Finally, he took out a rope to connect the hands and feet, and did not forget to put something in the mouth.
So shameful.
But, it is tied very tightly.
The projection walked to the door, turned his head to look at the still struggling Clover King, and suddenly turned back.
His cultivation was also sealed.
He reached his hand into the former's clothes and pants and searched around, even inside his underwear! After making sure that he didn't have anything else on him, the projection finally smiled with satisfaction.
Turned around and disappeared.
"Is everything done?" Outside the light ball, Shangguan Yujian watched the puppet take action the whole time, his face trembling constantly.
He really wanted to know, Master, what kind of binding thoughts had been instilled into the puppet?
Just search me if you want, why don’t you even search my underwear?
Could it be that they are hiding someone in there? !
Even if he hid it, it's just a four-leaf clover, why would he hide it? !
Create a vegetable?
He shook his head, put away the light ball that stored Xue Tianchi's residence, and then looked at the two puppets that had been waiting for a long time.
Just now when he went to reminisce, he asked two puppets to investigate the location of the treasure house and the ancestral hall. Unexpectedly, they found them very quickly, but from what they said, the situation seemed very bad.
The treasure house has been in a state of no taking in or out for so many years, and too much of the treasure has been consumed. The Xue family is now just a tiger without claws. Apart from looking powerful, they actually have no combat power.
Even the Clover King stayed here for such a long time without anyone noticing.
This can be seen from this point.
Therefore, he directly skipped the treasury. In a treasury that doesn't even have a holy weapon, would you expect to find a semi-immortal weapon? ?
"Where is the ancestral temple?"
"Back mountain."
After a brief exchange, Shangguan Yujian and the two puppets came to the back mountain.
He hid the other two in case of emergency.
The gate of the ancestral hall was open, as if they had known of the former's arrival and simply stopped blocking him and allowed him to enter.
Shangguan Yujian didn't even knock on the door and walked straight in.
No matter how big your conspiracy is, I can kill it with one sword.
