Chapter 601 Pianxiang Villa
Of course He Lingchuan knew that after passing the Dharma Eye test, he might have been removed from the suspect list of the gods, and the surveillance on him would probably be much more relaxed in the future.
But there was still Bai Ziqi.
Hiss, this guy had been trying to keep an eye on him, it was simply inexplicable.
So, he had to find something for Bai Ziqi to do quickly.
Fu Shanyue saw him rubbing his temples, so he said, "Come on, you take a rest first. We'll go to Pianxiang Villa tomorrow."
He Lingchuan nodded.
After returning to his guest room, he closed the doors and windows tightly, scanned everywhere with a mirror, and confirmed that he was not being monitored or eavesdropped on, then reached into his arms. He took out a leaf.
The leaf from the Guluo tree in Panlong City was originally a beautiful golden red, but now it is withered and curled, and covered with yellow spots.
At first glance, it is no different from other fallen leaves picked up from the ground.
He Lingchuan looked at it carefully and sighed softly:
"One leaf blocks the eyes."
It turned out that the second prayer of Venerable Mu Ling should be here.
The golden leaf was not to block his sight, but the eyeballs of the monster Mulian.
By borrowing this leaf, He Lingchuan successfully passed Miao Zhantian's lie test.
Thousands of years ago, in the ancient war, the immortals of Dahuan Sect borrowed the leaves of the Tao Tree to defeat the great monster Mulian;
Thousands of years later, He Lingchuan used the leaves of the Tao Tree given by Venerable Mu Ling to defeat the eyeballs left by Mulian again and save his life.
One drink and one bite, is it predestined?
He Lingchuan admired Mu Ling, the senior who accurately calculated a thousand years later and saved his life, and became curious about the last prayer.
What kind of application scenario does it fit?
As He Lingchuan watched, the leaf slowly turned into ash and fell to the ground.
The soul-catching mirror asked curiously: "What happened to the leaves of the Julu tree?"
"It has run out of power." Miao Zhantian's touchstone and the Eye of Truth are not so easy to resist.
As for whether the gods will question the results of this test, He Lingchuan believes that they will not in the short term.
The reason is simple. If they have no confidence in the big eyeball, why do they conduct this test?
Not to mention that the gods can easily invade his sea of consciousness, Mitian said a long time ago that the barriers between the gods and the human world are clear, and any form of crossing the boundary is not easy.
The most powerful evidence is that Miao Zhantian only asked him three questions, and after asking, the invasion will end.
If they can stay in his sea of consciousness at will, let alone three, thirty or three hundred can be asked at will.
Therefore, he tends to think that the gods have to spend a lot of effort for this invasion.
Since they have high hopes for the pupil of Mulian, the "real" conclusion it draws can at least convince the gods for a period of time.
This is also the strategic opportunity that He Lingchuan risked his life to fight for this time.
In the final analysis, he was still too naive and underestimated the complexity and danger of going against the gods.
If Panlong City and Mu Lingzun had not helped him, he would have been exposed by the gods this time.
In fact, in the final analysis, this contest was not He Lingchuan's at all, but a duel between Panlong City, Mu Lingzun, and the gods behind him.
In fact, to put it more broadly, this can be regarded as a continuation of the struggle between immortals and gods.
His side temporarily gained the upper hand. He Lingchuan walked around the gate of hell and saved his life.
Mirror praised: "It is worthy of being a treasure of the City of the Dead. It can actually block the true eyes of the gods!"
He Lingchuan hugged his head and sighed deeply:
"I underestimated the enemy!"
Now looking back, he actually made the mistake of adventurism before leaving for Tianshu Peak.
"I thought too well of them." He underestimated the will and means of the gods.
The Demon Emperor might care about the twists and turns and elaborate calculations that he relied on, but the gods didn't buy it at all.
They were powerful, arrogant, unscrupulous, and arbitrary. They would open the gossip of whoever they wanted to open the gossip of whoever they wanted to test whoever they wanted to test, and they didn't care about the life or death of the victim at all.
They didn't specifically target He Lingchuan, because all humans were like a drop in the ocean in their eyes, as humble as ants at the foot of the wall.
Anyway, they would die with one push.
Fortunately, with the protection of Panlong City and Mu Lingzun, He Lingchuan was able to survive this disaster.
He remembered Mu Lingzun's words:
"Young people should be allowed to make mistakes."
When Mu Lingzun spoke, his eyes were fixed on the golden red leaves. He Lingchuan felt at this time that Mu Lingzun's words were directed at him.
This wise man exhausted the secrets of heaven to give He Lingchuan a chance to make a mistake without dying.
Just once.
He Lingchuan said firmly: "I will not make this kind of mistake again."
No one will cover his mistakes in the future. As Venerable Mu Ling said, the future will be handed over to future generations.
"???" The mirror was confused the whole time.
It can no longer keep up with the master's thinking, what to do?
He Lingchuan pressed his temples and thought of the unreasonable god who wanted to snatch his body at the last moment of the invasion.
Miao Zhantian also had a dispute with it, which shows that the gods are not united, and there are times when they disagree and conflict of interest.
It makes sense.
Of course, the most important thing is that after the green light mark lit up, it shouted:
"Why is it Narakutian's mark?"
In other words, it recognized the owner of this mark.
This confirmed He Lingchuan's long-standing speculation: the one who left the mark in the depths of his sea of consciousness was indeed another god.
It's just that he didn't know the other person's name until today:
Narakuten.
It's good to have a name to check.
¥¥¥¥¥
Thanks to the panacea for calming the nerves and nourishing the brain, He Lingchuan's head didn't hurt the next morning.
Fu Shanyue and he took Jiao Yu and other guards to Qilin Mountain to see the new house.
Fortunately, the road up the mountain is still flat and wide, and the road surface is not damaged, which shows that the materials used were solid.
Compared with Panshan House, Pianxiang Villa is closer to the center of the lower city, and its area is about half that of Dunyuan-
Sitting on half of Qilin Mountain, it is already very large.
It faces north and south, occupying half of the sunny side of Qilin Mountain. It stands to reason that the first ray of sunlight in the morning can shine on the villa attic. However, the garden has been abandoned for many years, with weeds and trees growing everywhere, and the big trees with bared fangs and claws blocked the sunlight shining into the garden.
The mountain behind the house is even more gloomy, with lush weeds that make it difficult for people to walk, and various small animals often shuttle back and forth.
I just grabbed a handful of wet dirt from under the tree.
The tiger sniffed everywhere and rolled around in the grass nest. It unexpectedly found a nest of more than ten weasels and a large group of storks and cranes.
The two monsters were not afraid of people coming, but were frightened by the tiger and ran away. It was not until they heard that Pianxiang Villa had a new owner that they begged Fu Shanyue to renew their contract.
It turned out that these were all monsters raised in the backyard of the Chunyu family, specializing in removing insects, snakes, rats and ants for the owner.
The Chunyu family suffered misfortune, but they did not. They still lived in the backyard of Qilin Mountain. They lived very comfortably these years and did not want to move.
Fu Shanyue had no objection, but asked them to clean up all the annoying little creatures in the mansion within two days. After all, the house had been empty for seven years. It was large and empty, and it had long become a comfortable nest for snakes, insects, rats and ants.
The two nests of monsters patted their chests and promised to complete the task. Originally, this was also their job.
The weasel even blinked his eyes and asked Fu Shanyue: "I have a few goat friends who are very good at gardening and pruning. Do you want to hire them together? Just provide meals and some pocket money. The wages are much cheaper than hiring people."
"...Okay."
Although it is not well-groomed, the main building of Pianxiang Villa is still very impressive. The beams and pillars have not been corroded by the earth's energy, and the furniture is basically complete. It can be seen that the materials used in the construction were solid.
Because of the presence of monsters such as weasels, few thieves break in.
Overall, you can move in with a little care.
After going down the mountain, Fu Shanyue immediately sent someone to the pawnshop to hire some servants.
Such a large villa requires at least hundreds of people to manage it before it can operate.
...
Pianxiang Villa cannot be occupied for the time being. Fu Shanyue was busy with other things, and He Lingchuan still returned to the inn.
After dinner, a shop assistant came to serve tea.
"Put it there." He Lingchuan didn't even look back.
The man did not leave, but stood there motionless:
"He Xiao."
Hearing the rigid voice, one knew who was coming. He Lingchuan sighed, these troubles were still one after another, and he didn't even have time to take a break.
He walked out of the house and drove away all the strangers.
"How is it?"
"The Imperial Master agreed, but there is a condition."
"Please tell me."
"Nian Zanli cannot know that you are the middleman, or even that you are involved in this matter." Xi Yunhe said, "The Imperial Master asked you to do something because you have nothing to do with us and are not involved in any interests, so the clues you submitted are innocent and credible; Nian Zanli borrowed troops from the Imperial Master, which would make too much noise and would definitely reach the ears of the Emperor. If the Emperor finds out that you are the middleman, your relationship with us will be exposed."
He Lingchuan nodded: "Don't worry, I won't show up, and he won't know."
Xi Yunhe was in charge of the negotiations yesterday, and today he just came to pass on the message: "Okay. Then the Imperial Master will borrow 30,000 troops from Baling State, and assign two more generals, all of whom will be dispatched by Nian Zanli. This matter will be done within five months at the latest."
Done! He Lingchuan took a deep breath.
"The national master has great powers, and such a big thing can be implemented overnight." He admired, "However, words are not enough, how can we win the trust of Nian Zanli?"
"There is a pair of white stone horses at the door of the Nanzhi Shop at the end of the East Second Lane of Tianjie. You go in and tell the shopkeeper that you want ten sets of Nanbaoxuan inkstones and Qiuhujian paper. The agreed price is forty coins. He will give you the national master's token and handwritten letter."
"Give these two things to Nian Zanli, and he can go to Baling to ask for troops." Xi Yunhe explained, "The token cannot be copied; there are two handwritten letters, one for Nian Zanli to explain the situation, and the other is sealed with wax and is to be presented to the king of Baling. It cannot be opened halfway."
He Lingchuan was moved: "The national master actually thought so carefully!"
As expected of a century-old official, such an arrangement is really thoughtful. He Lingchuan thought of everything he thought of and didn't think of.
