Chapter 762 Whose Fault Is It?
He saw that Dong Rui was very generous, and he didn't feel any pain when he threw away two taels of broken silver.
Dong Rui chuckled: "I don't have it, but you do."
Ever since he put on the mask given by Imperial Master Shuangye, he no longer had to cover his face when going out into the market, nor did he have to find a deserted corner to face the wall when eating tea or meals.
This is the life he wants.
He Lingchuan hesitated: "I have money, what does it have to do with you?"
"How many favors do you owe me?" Dong Rui said leisurely, "Do you want me to pay you one by one?"
He Lingchuan was speechless.
Yes, he collected the divine bones and blood from Dong Rui, and even borrowed two of their demon puppets to implement the Xushan plan. It can be said that without Dong Rui's help, he would not be able to get the artifact back.
This favor is really owed to Dafa.
It was rare to see him holding back his food, and Dong Rui was even more happy: "Give me money, I don't have enough money here! I'll give you a thousand taels first."
As expected, He Lingchuan handed him a thousand-tael silver note.
Dong Rui immediately called the waiter and threw out a piece of silver: "I'm happy today. I'll treat everyone here to tea, and add a plate of dried fruits for each person! Come on, storyteller, and add a few nice paragraphs!"
Upon hearing about such a good thing, the guests in the teahouse stood up one after another and thanked him.
Dong Rui laughed loudly, just shy of writing the words "get carried away" on his face.
When he stopped laughing and the surrounding noise subsided, He Lingchuan smiled and said, "You can play hard, it's okay. But I want to remind you that being too kind is not a good thing. Once you can't pay it back, Then just-"
He raised his palm and made a gesture of cutting his throat.
Dong Rui's smile disappeared immediately.
When all creditors are gone, the debts and favors owed no longer need to be repaid.
Gui Yuan heard that He Lingchuan was threatening his master and immediately bared his teeth at him, but did not dare to make any move.
Regardless of the fact that it had been defeated by this guy twice before and after, it felt like He Lingchuan had become stronger this time when they met again, so strong that it felt fearful in its heart and did not dare to show off easily.
Dong Rui patted its head and said, "What's the matter with you?"
"Have you figured out anything about those weird cicadas?"
"How can it be so fast?" Dong Rui picked up a piece of mung bean cake and chewed it carefully, "I just arrived at Rongshan yesterday, and today I have achieved results, do you think I am a god?"
He had just slept, and he hadn't eaten or played enough yet.
"This is really strange." He Lingchuan tilted his chin and looked at him, "In the past, you studied demon puppets in the Demon Nest, day and night, and you were not even willing to escape. Why is that fanaticism gone now?"
Is Dong Rui someone who puts research aside and only cares about eating, drinking and having fun?
Especially the mutation of the seventy-year-old cicada is so interesting, and he still has several living bodies in his hands.
"This moment is the same as that moment. From there, I and you -" Dong Rui pointed to the east, "After experiencing several life and death, overcoming numerous pursuits, and finally escaping, I realized that time is precious and people should enjoy themselves in time! What's the point? wrong?"
He Lingchuan knew that the east refers to the Bejia Empire, and also knew that this guy was talking nonsense, so he waved to the guy:
"I want a private room."
"Two distinguished guests, please come upstairs."
The private room of the teahouse in this small place is not very elegant, and there is suspected wet saliva in the corner. It is said that a partition is more suitable, after all, there is a door.
He Lingchuan closed the door, placed a soundproof barrier, and then asked him: "Okay, what's going on?"
Dong Rui was confused: "What's going on?"
"The seventy-year-old strange cicada came from the northeast, and so did your ghost ape. Your family is still in Wange Swamp." He Lingchuan said, "Tell me, what's the connection?"
"Well……"
He Lingchuan simply made it clear: "The cicada has become so weird in seventy years. It has something to do with the divine blood, right?"
He has conducted experiments with divine blood and used divine blood to construct New Year's greetings. His understanding of this stuff is far superior to others.
This guy is really hard to deceive. He couldn't keep his secret even for an entire night. Dong Rui said with a grimace: "Let me state first that the cicada disaster in Rongshan was purely accidental and had nothing to do with me."
He Lingchuan hummed: "In the past few months, we have either been in Bejia or on the way westward."
"That's right, that's right." Dong Rui nodded like a fool, "If you can't wait for me in Xiazhou on the 17th, you will return to Wange Swamp on your own. But I left for too long, and during that time, there was a nest of fur in Wange Forest. The thief was plundering everywhere and finally found my house.”
Number 17 is the Ghost Monkey.
He Lingchuan felt something bad when he heard it: "Then?"
"It just so happened that during those few days, the 17th stole the town's wine and was drunk outside all day long!" Dong Rui got angry just thinking about it and slapped the monkey's head next to him hard. Gui Yuan held his head with his paws and did not dare to say a word, "These thieves were halfway through stealing things. When No. 17 came back, the two sides started fighting. During the beating process, a small half bottle of divine blood was accidentally broken. Splashed into the woodland."
"At that time, it coincided with the seventy-year cicada active period in Wange Forest. They were all busy breaking through the ground. When they were splashed with the divine blood, just..."
Sure enough, it was like this again. He Lingchuan rubbed his temples: "So the cause of the cicada disaster was really your divine blood?"
"Hey, it has nothing to do with me!" Dong Rui quickly shied away from the blame, "If those thieves hadn't come to steal my things, the divine blood would still be on display at my house!"
"Can't you hide such an important treasure properly?"
"Hidden, why not?" Dong Rui smiled bitterly, "But you said that I, a miserable master, have no experience in being a thief? I hid so secretly, but they still found me."
He Lingchuan sighed: "Go on."
"Some plants also mutated on the ground that was splashed with divine blood. No. 17 was busy killing thieves without paying much attention. Probably more than ten days later, some animals and monsters in Wange Forest suddenly went crazy and began to destroy the fields. At this time, the local government began to organize a siege. Two or three months ago, the 70-year-old cicada was not as big as it is now, but everywhere it went, there was no grass. "
He Lingchuan looked at him and said, "Isn't this kind of cicada transformation too easy for you?"
Since he wanted to tell the truth, Dong Rui simply sat up straight:
“No no, it’s enlightening!”
"Inspiration?"
"I have finished tinkering with the two cicadas that Aunt Zhu brought back for me. I used to live in the Wange Forest, and I had already experimented with the original version of the Seventy Years Cicada, but found it of no use. But this time, It’s different this time.”
When talking about the experiment, Dong Rui's eyes lit up: "I'm sure that 99% of those seventy-year-old cicadas who ate the divine blood died on the spot, but a few must have survived. You know why, huh?"
Seeing his excitement, He Lingchuan could only praise him: "Why?"
"They're about to give birth!"
"During that time, the seventy-year-old cicadas would come out of the ground to court and mate. Maybe a few of them had already been mated, so they laid eggs in advance under the stimulation of the divine blood!"
