Text Chapter 1504: Money Moves People’s Hearts
Half a day later, on a nearby planet near the entrance to Huanggu, Miao Yi and his two men, dressed in casual clothes, fell from the sky and landed on a passenger ship on the vast sea. There was no boatman on the ship and it looked empty. The ship was drifting on the sea.
Yan Xiu didn't know why Miao Yi brought him here. He probably wanted to meet someone, otherwise he wouldn't have come here for no reason just after leaving the ancient death land. He also saw someone on the ship, but he didn't say much. No questions asked, Miao Yi always did whatever he asked.
After Miao Yi tilted his head to signal, Yan Xiu stood outside at the bow of the ship and waited.
After boarding the ship, Miao Yi opened the curtain and saw Tianmao Xingjun sitting there with a cup of tea and slowly tasting it. Next to him stood an old man with a shrewd look on his face, staring at him with a slight smile. Look at yourself.
He was the one who invited Tianmao Xingjun to come. Miao Yi just didn't expect that Tianmao Xingjun would bring someone here for such a private meeting.
Pang Guan raised his head, put down the tea cup, and smiled lightly: "Here he comes."
"I've met Mr. Xing." Miao Yi cupped his hand.
Pang Guan raised his hand to indicate the empty seat next to him, and said in a very easy-going tone: "This is not the first time we have met, and you are not my subordinate. You are welcome, please sit down."
Miao Yi was not pretentious. As soon as he sat down, Pang Guan smiled again and said, "Okay! I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to survive this thousand-year sentence, but I didn't expect that you could survive the ancient death place. I have a lot of experience in that place." I haven’t been in there in years, so I’m very interested in knowing what’s going on inside. If it’s convenient, I’ll tell you.”
Seeing Miao Yi constantly looking at Chen Huaijiu, he added: "The Pang family is old. Chen Huaijiu, the manager of the Pang family, is the closest person to me. I won't hide anything from him."
Miao Yi felt relieved now. "What else can it be like? The evil spirits are rampant and eroding, not even a blade of grass can grow. Many of the evil spirits have become spirits, some of which are quite advanced. I have not lived an easy life these thousand years. I have had many fights with the evil spirits inside, and I almost lost my life." Inside, I was hiding. It was a blessing to come out alive.”
Chen Huaijiu on the side poured a cup of tea for Miao Yi. Miao Yi thanked him and took it casually.
"Evil spirit?" Pang Guan thought for a moment and saw Miao Yi picking up the teacup and drinking the tea prepared here without hesitation. He didn't worry at all that he would do anything. He smiled slightly and secretly praised him. He is such a big-hearted person. An open-minded man. Then he smiled and asked: "Tell me, why do you have to ask me to meet this time?"
Miao Yi turned over his hand and took out a resentful spirit bead with golden patterns and placed it on the table. Asked: "Does Mr. Xing recognize this object?"
Of course he brought these out from the ancient dead land. It was inconvenient to bring out a lot of them, but it was no problem to bring out a few. It makes perfect sense that he got it by killing evil spirits.
Pang Guan glanced sideways, reached for it, twirled it on his fingertips to check, and said, "Resentful Spirit Bead! Did you call me here just for this thing?"
Seeing that he was not affected at all, Miao Yi asked strangely: "Xingjun is actually immune to the power of the resentful spirit?"
Pang Guan: "Why did you let me guard the ancient entrance and exit when you were on top? I practice fire-based skills, so I guess you do too, right?"
"So that's it!" Miao Yi suddenly realized and asked again: "It seems that Lord Xing has seen this thing before."
Pang Guan: "In the early years of the expedition against Huanggu, I had never seen anything like this in Huanggu. Later, the Guards cleared Huanggu twice and only then did I know about the existence of this thing. If this thing is put into a weapon and used, it can be a powerful weapon. Bian has collected a lot of them, but most people can't resist the power of the resentful spirits. Even if they have such weapons, they are inconvenient to use, so your Majesty only gives them to a few people. "
Miao Yi was surprised: "There are still people using spirit bead weapons. Why have I never heard of them?"
Pang Guan paused for a moment, as if he didn't know whether he should say anything, but after thinking about it, he still didn't hide anything, "Your Majesty has a group of dead soldiers around him who will not show up easily. So not many people know about it, and they have always carried out shady things for your Majesty. This group of dead soldiers is codenamed "Shadow Guards". It is unknown what kind of evil skills they practice. Their cultivation is growing at an extremely fast rate. The most peculiar thing is that these "Shadow Guards" seem to be the trump card in His Majesty's hands. They are not afraid of things like the seven emotions and six desires, nor are they afraid of these evil spirits, so these 'Shadow Guards' use those spirit bead weapons."
Miao Yi was surprised: "Could it be that you are also practicing fire-based skills?"
Pang Guan: "I don't know, I just know that the cultivation base has grown extremely fast. It is said that someone knew one of them who was originally just a Purple Lotus monk. Later they met and found out that in just 20,000 years, that person's cultivation level had reached the upper level of Hualian." water products.”
"So fast?" Miao Yi took a breath, and then he didn't know what he thought of, and tried to ask: "Are there any flaws in the skills of these shadow guards?"
Pang Guan nodded: "Although I don't know, many people have guessed this. Otherwise, since Your Majesty has such a fast-growing cultivation technique, why don't you practice it yourself? Secondly, Your Majesty will not give up such a terrifying cultivation technique easily. If it falls into the hands of outsiders, His Majesty can trust a group of people to practice it, so there must be a way to control these people, and most people also speculate that there may be some problems with this practice method. "
Miao Yi was silent, wondering what he was thinking about.
Pang Guan put down the Resentful Spirit Bead in his hand, leaned on the chair, turned his head and looked at him, "Let's get down to business, why did you call me?"
Miao Yi came back to his senses and pointed at the Resentment Bead he had just put down, "That's why I came here for this! I might as well say clearly that I got a lot of these things in the past, but unfortunately I couldn't take them out, so I hid them inside for the time being. , I want to bring these things out later.”
Pang Guan chuckled, and probably understood Miao Yi's intention, "You don't want me to privately open the entrance to the ancient world and let you in, do you? Once this matter is leaked, I cannot bear the responsibility."
Miao Yi picked up the Resentful Spirit Bead and asked, "Xingjun is not afraid of this thing. Don't you want to get a batch of these things?"
Pang Guan: "If I have such a weapon in my hand, how can I, the person who is in charge of the ancient entrance, explain to the heaven if the news gets out? It is difficult for others to suspect that I am guarding and stealing. When I am in a position like mine, I usually fight and kill. It’s no longer on my head. My biggest threat is the strife from above.” An index finger pointed to the sky.
Miao Yi was silent. He wanted to enter the ancient past without the cooperation of Tianmao Xingjun, so he threw out the bait again, "Xingjun is not interested in this thing. Isn't he also interested in the property in the ancient past?"
Pang Guan laughed and expressed his doubts: "There was indeed a lot of property in the ancient times, but as far as I know, most of it has been confiscated by the heaven. Tell me, what do you want to do if you want to go inside?"
Miao Yi shook his head: "I'm afraid what Xingjun knows is wrong. It's very possible that Heavenly Court doesn't know either. The property confiscated by Heavenly Court is only a part of the ancient treasures. This time I peeked a little and found that the wealth inside was astonishingly large. !”
"Only part of what Heavenly Court confiscated?" Pang Guan's voice was a little louder, with surprise in his tone. He sat up straight and looked at Miao Yi solemnly.
Of course he knew how much property was taken away from the ancient world when Tianting was short of money at the beginning of its establishment. It is difficult to estimate. In short, the initial framework of Tianting was successfully set up. Such a huge wealth was only part of it. The remaining wealth must be shocking. number.
Chen Huaijiu, who was standing aside, also looked at Miao Yi in surprise.
Miao Yi nodded to confirm, "Otherwise, why would I think about running to that damn place again?"
Pang Guan asked: "If Heaven knew about it, it would definitely not refuse to take it. Even Heaven doesn't know, where is that property in ancient times?"
Miao Yi shook his head and fell silent. He picked up the teacup and drank tea slowly.
Pang Guan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, knowing that his question was a bit abrupt. He was guarding the ancient entrance. If he really knew the whereabouts of the property, who could guarantee that he would not leave the other party alone, and maybe even return it? If he is worried that he will kill someone and silence him, he will naturally not speak out. "This matter is not trivial. Even if I send my confidants to change the ancient entrance to the wilderness, I dare not open it easily. No one can guarantee whether there are any informants among those people. Once the heaven knows about it, it will be a capital crime and the house will be ransacked. It’s no problem to destroy the whole family!”
Miao Yi: "Find a way to transfer me to your command and let me guard the ancient entrance. I will find a way."
Pang Guan stroked his beard and muttered, "I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to handle. You have a notorious reputation and you're in the Left Guards. I can't transfer you here for no reason. I'm afraid I'll have to wait for the opportunity."
Miao Yi: "What Xingjun said makes sense, and there is indeed no rush. I asked Xingjun to inform me this time. I just want Xingjun to be mentally prepared first, so that when the opportunity comes, he will not miss it."
Pang Guan nodded, then suddenly looked back at Chen Huaijiu, "My status prevents me from meeting you in private. If there is anything that needs to be discussed in the future, Lao Chen can meet with you on my behalf."
Miao Yi stood up and raised his hands to Chen Huaijiu, "Then you'll have a hard time."
"It should be." Chen Huaijiu nodded politely.
Pang Guan also stood up and said with a smile: "I didn't thank you for the ghost market thing last time, otherwise I would have been in a lot of trouble. I thank you here." He cupped his hands.
Miao Yi chuckled and borrowed Chen Huaijiu's words, "That's right."
Pang Guanyi chuckled, and then told him seriously: "Don't be careless. You did too much to disgrace the Ying family last time. The key is to disgrace King Ying Tian on the spot. You are back alive this time. The Ying family I'm afraid I won't let you go. It's impossible to touch you. Otherwise, the Left Governor is not a vegetarian. Be careful of what dirty tricks some people will use. The most indispensable thing in this world is sycophants! "
"Remember the teachings!" Miao Yi accepted this sentiment.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Pang Guan said goodbye and walked toward the stern of the ship with his hands behind his back. Chen Huaijiu stepped forward quickly and opened the bead curtain, and the two of them quickly dodged and submerged into the vast sea.
Miao Yi followed and opened the bead curtain to take a look. The sea was calm and he didn't know where the two of them had disappeared.
Half an hour later, the passenger ship shattered into powder on the sea with a roar, and the corpses were destroyed. Miao Yigang and Yan Xiu soared into the sky. Unexpectedly, a figure flashed and floated in front of them, blocking the sky above the two of them, with cold eyes. Look below.
The sudden appearance of this person shocked Miao Yi and Yan Xiu. (To be continued.)
