Chapter 516 I Want Both Money and Life (Updated)

And he had just chopped down a large lotus leaf...

He wanted to shout "Stop", how dare a mere He Yao offend the chief! But the man could not open his mouth underwater and was trapped in the fishing net, so he could only let the lotus demon tighten his neck.

How could such a little water spirit be taken seriously by him?

At this time, it is the ancestor who is dying.

…

As soon as the golden-armored bronze man landed, he stood still.

Jia Yu watched it not moving for a long time: "Sir, special envoy?" Is this puppet malfunctioning due to water damage?

He Lingchuan pressed his chest.

The divine bone necklace is actually a little warm again.

In other words, the treasure it covets is still in the water?

Isn’t it Overlord Lotus?

He Lingchuan let out a long sigh. Thinking back, the Overlord Lotus is something that can grow every year. How could Shen Gu have such a high vision and take a fancy to it?

What to do now, jump back to the Dutch Palace or continue on the road?

He Lingchuan hesitated for a moment before urging the golden-armored bronze man to continue on his way.

Let's go back to Chaohu Tower to see what happens first. If he was right, something big should happen there.

The same goes for the treasures in the Lotus Palace, if you have the chance to pick them up again.

The further south he went, the hotter the divine bone necklace became, and he was obviously not satisfied with his choice.

He Lingchuan ignored it at all.

This thing is too willful, it's better to dry it out occasionally.

The shoreline of the lake is winding and long. The man in golden armor and bronze ran for more than two quarters of an hour to reach Baishazhou.

To He Lingchuan's surprise, the onlookers did not disperse and flee. Instead, they stood behind and peered toward the sandbank, maintaining a distance they thought was safe.

There were more people watching than usual.

The Lotus Fragrance Festival only happens once a year, and some people have long been tired of seeing it. On the contrary, it was the inspection of Lingxu City that caused the master to be swallowed by a monster. This kind of huge and heavy blow was unheard of since Bai Shaliang opened the city, and it was worth watching.

When I go home at night, I can eat and drink with this gossip.

On the contrary, the wealthy guests cherished their lives and most of them evacuated.

When He Lingchuan arrived, there were not many people left in the pavilion. The carriages of the dignitaries left one after another, and the officials sealed off the entire Baishazhou.

Lu Dutong also led troops to maintain order at the scene. Jia Yu jumped down and went to the superior to report what had happened.

He Lingchuan looked around and saw no sign of Cen Boqing. Instead, the county magistrate Bai Shaqian stood on the edge of the beach, lost in thought.

"Magistrate Tian, ​​what happened?"

As He Lingchuan approached, Magistrate Tian was agitated, as if he had grasped the backbone: "The monster jumped up from the ground, Lord Zhongsun was, was swallowed up!"

He Lingchuan was shocked: "What kind of monster?"

"It's the monster you mentioned before, which looks like a snail and a frog." Magistrate Tian smiled bitterly, "It also carried a hard shell like a house. After it sneaked up on Mr. Zhongsun, it immediately escaped under the sand and disappeared without knowing where it was. Now, well, I don’t know what to do now!”

He was so disheartened that he didn't even say "downgrade".

"It turns out that the snail toad came to seek revenge on Master Zhongsun." He Lingchuan clarified the nature of the emergency as soon as he opened his mouth. "I have already said that this case is not that simple."

He patted Magistrate Tian on the back: "What happened has already happened, there is no point in worrying. This matter must be investigated strictly, and efforts must be made to rescue Mr. Zhongsun and give an explanation to Lingxu City."

"Rescue Mr. Zhongsun?" Magistrate Tian seemed to be grasping at straws, "Is he still alive?"

"Then it depends on the intention of the controller of Snail Toad, that is, Mai Xuewen. If he thinks Lord Zhongsun is still useful, this is a kidnapping case."

County Magistrate Tian knew what he knew about Snail Toad. Hearing this, hope was rekindled in his heart. He took a deep breath and said, "I see. I will issue a wanted order."

Bai Shaqian had already posted a wanted order for Mai Xuewen, but Magistrate Tian now wants to raise his level.

He turned to leave, but was grabbed by He Lingchuan again: "Magistrate Tian, ​​where is the bet between me and Mr. Zhongsun?"

"A bet, a bet?" Magistrate Tian's mind had long gone astray. He was startled when he heard this, and finally remembered that there had been a bet between the two people, and he was a witness. "Oh, yes, you won."

"Then can I go get the money?" He showed the Overlord Lotus in his hand.

He wants Zhongsun Mou's life.

He also wants Zhongsun Mou’s money!

Don't lose your life and wealth.

How can Magistrate Tian still care about the Lotus Fragrance Festival? He pointed blankly towards the tower and gave a wry smile: "Congratulations."

He Lingchuan immediately ran to the high tower, used the Overlord Lotus to retrieve his three mysterious crystals, and then grabbed Zhongsun Mou's 50,000 taels of treasure banknotes and counted them twice carefully.

Well, the number is correct.

This thick stack of treasure notes exuded the smell of money. Thinking about its origin, He Lingchuan felt even more fragrant.

With fifty thousand taels in his pocket, he suddenly felt that he was a little more generous.

Now he has a little savings, and he also has Baishan Pills to support his practice of elixirs. Well, it’s time to find some projects to invest in, so that you can have a steady stream of living money in the future.

He is probably the only one who can ponder these things in the current chaos.

As soon as He Lingchuan came out of the tower, the tiger ran over from a distance. When he saw him, he was overjoyed and said: "You win! You can really come back alive!"

It was right to look at the Overlord Lotus in He Lingchuan's hand.

The leader in picking lotus is here, He Lingchuan seems to be alive and kicking, but Fan Sheng is missing. This result was really unexpected.

It originally thought that it would be great if He Lingchuan came back alive.

"Where's Fan Sheng?" Hu Tou looked left and right, "He didn't go, or did he not hit you? No, you were injured."

Although He Lingchuan returned, his face and hands were covered with wounds, like... bite marks? Furthermore, there are small and sharp tooth marks.

There was also an injury on his waist, which looked more serious.

"He sneak attacked me and got me soaked in the water." He Lingchuan scratched his head. Fan Sheng's cultivation is so profound that he shouldn't be able to kill him in more than two quarters of an hour.

"When you were in the Lotus Palace, Zhongsun Mou was swallowed by a snail toad." Jiao Yu's eyes were full of doubts, "Are you..."

It remembered Mai Xuewen who came to the door yesterday.

He Lingchuan responded with a smile: "Is it something?"

"It's nothing." Jiao Yu has been an official for many years. Although he is a monster, he has also learned a lot of scheming. At this time, he understands that he must not say anything he shouldn't say. What's more, he doesn't have any evidence, so why bother? "After Zhong Sunmou's accident, Cen Boqing's face turned ugly and he left the stage immediately. I followed him until he came back to Cen's mansion. I was worried -"

Jiao Yu paused: "I'm worried that he will escape back to Lingxu City and let Lu Dutong send people to watch the front and back doors of his house."

Baishateng is the boundary of the Chiyan Kingdom. Once Cen Boqing returns to Lingxu City, he will have a home field advantage. If people like the Chiyan Kingdom want to investigate him, the difficulty will go up by more than one level.

He Lingchuan nodded, whistled to the sky, and waved.

Soon a goshawk descended from the sky and landed on the branch next to him.

"Send word of mouth, as soon as possible!" He whispered to the goshawk, "You know who to go to."

The goshawk nodded, flapped its wings and flew eastward, disappearing from the horizon soon.

The participating teams in the competition were also rowing back at this time.

He Lingchuan glanced around and couldn't find Fan Sheng, and couldn't help but feel funny.

Suddenly there was a boom and explosion from the northwest.

Everyone looked back one after another, wondering what happened.

Isn't that direction the Dutch Palace?

The lotus picking activity has ended, what else can happen in the maze?

In the past, the Lotus Festival was always smooth sailing, and why did so many strange things happen?

Magistrate Tian was always nervous. As soon as he heard the explosion, he immediately sent someone over to investigate.

Maybe it has something to do with the snail toad?

After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses and found that a heavyweight was missing:

Fan Sheng.

The deputy commander had a high force value and a high official rank. He originally wanted to discuss the matter of rescuing people with Sir Fan, only to find that Sir Fan was also missing! Magistrate Tian quickly consulted He Lingchuan and was shocked when he got the answer. He immediately sent people into the maze to rescue Fan Sheng.

More than a quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Just when Magistrate Tian thought Fan Sheng had died, the lonely boat finally appeared in public view.

In addition to the boatman, isn't the person sitting in the back row with a smelly face Fan Sheng?

He was dripping from head to toe, and his hands and face were covered in scars just like He Lingchuan. It was obvious that he had been warmly received by the piranhas.

Magistrate Tian went up to greet him and asked, "Why did there be an explosion in the Lotus Palace?"

"The white-skinned Shui Ling rebelled!" Fan Sheng spat on the ground, "You actually want to strangle me to death!"

It's really embarrassing. The reason why the lotus demon couldn't strangle him for so long was actually thanks to He Lingchuan's net... The net was extremely flexible and stretched straight around his neck. As a result, even though the lotus stalk tried its best to tighten it, it still couldn't strangle him. Fan Sheng's neck.

Otherwise, he would probably have to climb a ditch.

Magistrate Tian was shocked.

He Lingchuan walked over and said, "Who told you to cut down the lotus wall? Even half of the Overlord Lotus was cut off by you. The water spirit is a lotus demon, and that place is its lair. It would be strange if it doesn't give you some color. Well. So what happened to the explosion?"

He felt relieved when he saw that Fan Sheng looked miserable and endured hardship.

"I still have some means of self-defense, so I gave it to it." Fan Sheng looked at him coldly, and when he saw his nonchalant look, he was so angry that his back teeth itched, "You're lucky, it should have been yours."

He Lingchuan had already returned to the public, and it was hard for him to take action again.

Once an opportunity has passed, it is gone.

He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows and then saw Fan Sheng's back was a bloody mess.

He just thought, how could this guy not have the means to suppress the situation? Fortunately, I didn't force him to die together.

He didn't know that Fan Sheng's method was given to him by his brother. It was a one-time use and the cost was not small. Who would have thought that he would actually use it to deal with a little lotus demon? It was like white marble weighing down a pickle vat, and his own flesh ached.

"Where's that lotus demon?"

Fan Sheng said indifferently: "Just die."

Magistrate Tian let out a long "ah". The lotus demon who is a water spirit is dead, so how will Bai Shaqiang’s signature event, the Lotus Fragrance Festival, be held in the future?

The tradition that has been held for many years has now been destroyed. And without the help of He Yao, how can Baishaqian's aquatic products be so developed?

Magistrate Tian felt so sad that it was hard to describe.

He Lingchuan stroked his chin and tsked: "What on earth did it do to you, that it can force you to use such a big move?"

Fan Sheng was defeated by him, and he didn't even use his last trump card, but a little lotus demon could...

It seems that He Yao's methods are even better.

He Lingchuan was really curious.
