Text Chapter 2010: Skills but No Brains

Wei Shu can't talk about the affairs between their brothers. If Xiahou Tuo is not alive, he will definitely side with Xia Hou Ling, the head of the family, to deal with Cao Man. The key is that Xia Hou Tuo is not dead. He is now causing fratricide in the Xiahou family. suitable.

Xia Houling did not let him express his opinion on the third master's matter, so Wei Shu naturally avoided the matter and asked: "Master, what does the demon monk want with that blood lotus?"

Xia Houling shook his head: "Niu Youde came to me to inquire about this matter. I didn't know it at first. I just asked him if he had the thing that the demon monk asked for. He said that it had been used by him a long time ago. Since it was the demon monk who wanted to I immediately checked what I wanted, and I found it, and I finally understood why the demon monk wanted that thing.”

Wei Shu asked attentively: "Why?"

Xia Houling looked at him and said slowly: "I may not know much about the Blood Demon Guard, but there is one person who I think the Guard must know about. According to the records I found, the Guard seems to have been present when that person died."

Wei Shu was stunned: "Who?"

Xia Houling said calmly: "The blood demon will use the blood demon formation. Could it be that the director of Wei still can't figure out who it is?"

Wei Shu was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "Is it the Blood Demon Ancestor? From what the three-tailed demon fox said, the Blood Demon is a descendant of the Blood Demon Ancestor. What does this matter have to do with the Blood Demon Ancestor? I was As ordered..." The voice suddenly paused, and his eyes widened a bit, "Is it the sacred grass in the legendary blood demon's hand?"

Xia Houling said calmly: "The record I saw is that the blood demon showed off to his friends, saying that he picked a sacred grass from the depths of the starry sky by chance. He said that as long as the three souls and seven souls are immortal, the sacred grass will be destroyed. It can help people reshape their bodies of flesh and blood, and the integration of three souls and seven souls can make the dead reborn and restore their original appearance. After hearing the news, the old man ordered you to investigate the matter, but by the time you arrived, it was already too late, and the blood demon had already landed in Tianxing Palace. on the hand.”

Wei Shu thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, it did happen. When I arrived, the people from Tianxing Palace were about to kill the Blood Demon. I saved my face and interrogated the Blood Demon, and asked God The whereabouts of the grass. However, the Blood Demon said that there was no magic grass at all. If there was any magic grass, why would he show it off to the outside world? I used all the torture methods, and this was what he summoned. I thought about it at the time. If he really had the magic grass, Hiding it before it’s too late, showing off to the outside world is asking for suicide. I returned the blood demon to Tianxing Palace for processing without asking what the consequences would be. Could it be..."

Xia Houling nodded: "Obviously, there is no smoke without fire. The divine grass should really exist. The Blood Demon should have refused to admit it even to death. Looking at it now, since the Blood Demon is the descendant of the Blood Demon, the mentality of the Blood Demon can also be understood. , the sacred grass was in the hands of his descendants, he would not be able to survive if he told it, and it might harm his descendants, so he refused to admit it. The sacred grass was finally passed to the blood demon's hands, and then was given to him by Niu Youde Got it."

Wei Shu nodded thoughtfully and slowly, "The blood demon probably won't mention this matter to the outside world. Even if Niu Youde succeeded, it's normal not to know what he got, but the blood demon fell into the hands of the demon monk. With the demon monk's methods, she can't help but tell the truth, and lies can't fool the demon monk. And since the demon monk is sure that the sacred grass is in Niu Youde's hands, then the sacred grass really exists and cannot be fake!"

Xiahou Ling exhaled and said: "Now you should understand why the demon monk wants that thing. The demon monk wants to use the sacred grass to reshape his body. How can I let him do it? If he really succeeds, it will be a catastrophe for my Xiahou family. I, Xiahou Ling, will become the eternal sinner of the Xiahou family!"

Wei Shu frowned and said, "Master just said that Niu Youde has used up the sacred grass?"

Xia Houling sneered, took a sip of tea, and swore, "What a waste! If I didn't know what it was, I might have been fooled by him. He didn't even know what it was or what effect it had." I don’t know, what is it used for? Can the medicine be taken randomly? What’s more, it’s something from the Blood Demon Array, but even the demon monk must have realized the value of it, so he asked me about it and said it was used. 10% of the time it’s an excuse, it’s really about trying to find out the value of something.”

Wei Shu nodded slowly and asked, "What are your plans, Master?"

Xia Houling: "The demon monk must be determined to get this thing. He can use it as a bait to lure it out and get rid of the demon monk in one fell swoop! It seems that I have to go to the Netherworld Governor's Mansion in person to have a good talk with Niu Youde."

Wei Shu: "What if Niu Youde refuses to hand it over?"

Xia Houling sneered and said: "That's not up to him. If he refuses to drink a toast and is fined with wine, then I have to tell the Heavenly Court and let Qingzhu and others force him to hand it over. But I still have to keep this thing in the hands of my Xiahou family as much as possible. , even if the demon monk cannot be lured out, we must see it destroyed with our own eyes, and it must not fall into the hands of the demon monk. Please arrange it, don’t alarm Niu Youde, let’s pay a surprise visit!”

"Yes!" Wei Shu nodded in agreement. The master poured the tea himself and drank it in one gulp. Then he quickly stood up and left.

After leaving the forbidden garden, Wei Shu quickly went to his house, hid in a dark room, and took out the star bell to contact Xiahou Tuo. He had to report such a serious situation in time.

Xiahou Tuo seemed to digest the news, and it took him a while to reply: Wei Shu, you don't want to go to the Netherworld Governor's Mansion.

Wei Shu was surprised and asked: Why?

Xiahou Tuo: There is no reason. Just find an excuse to avoid it. Just say that some clues about the demon monk Nanbo may have been found below and need to be dealt with personally. Just let me go to the Nether Governor's Mansion by myself. You come to my place. Bar.

Wei Shu immediately realized that there was something important planned, otherwise the old man would not call him over easily.

However, what left him speechless was that the reason the old man taught him was a little too excessive, and he found out the clues about the demon monk Nan Bo? Looking back, Xia Houling will definitely pay close attention to it and ask how he can smooth things over?

However, he knew that Xiahou Tuo was not a random person. Since he said this, there must be a reason for saying this, so he immediately replied: Yes, I understand!

The next day, after Wei Shu helped Xia Houling arrange everything on the itinerary, he reported a reason to avoid going to the Netherworld Governor's Mansion.

When Xiahou Ling heard that he might have found out the movements of the demon monk Nan Bo, he naturally did not stop Wei Shu from leaving. This was not a trivial matter, and he strictly ordered Wei Shu to find out.

Wei Shu and Xia Houling left Tianweng Mansion.

The streets along the river are bustling, with numerous wine shops and greenery, and an endless stream of street vendors.

Wei Shu, who had wine and food in hand, walked out from the crowd on the street and stood on the river bank. His eyes swept across a row of docked boats and locked on a fishing boat polished with tung oil. He saw Xiahou Tuo, dressed as a fisherman, sitting cross-legged on the bow. Quickly walked down the steps.

Seeing him, Xiahou Tuo loosened the rope. By the time Wei Shu got on the boat, Xiahou Tuo had already rowed the boat and left the shore.

Looking at the familiar fisherman, Wei Shu smiled bitterly.

But let’s not forget that it is indeed one of the best disguises for practitioners to live in the world like fishermen. You don’t have to worry about people around you getting old, sick and dying, but you are the only one who will live forever. At the same time, you can blend in with the people in the secular world and go alone. Where is the shore? You can lean over and hang out if you want, unlike other identities where you always have to change.

When the boat stopped in the middle of the river, Xiahou Tuo let go and walked over. Wei Shu had already visited him with wine and food. He said to Xia Houtuo, who was sitting opposite, "Master, the river delicacies you requested." After that, he poured wine for him.

Xiahou Tuo picked up a small shrimp with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth to chew. He took another sip of wine, smacked his lips and said, "My second brother is very good at cooking river seafood. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to taste it again in the future."

Wei Shu smiled slightly, thinking that he was referring to the fact that he could not show up in front of the second master because of his fake death.

"Has he already gone to the Netherworld Governor's Mansion?" Xiahou Tuo asked as he tasted the river delicacies.

Wei Shu: "Before arriving here, there was news from home that the second master had already set off."

Xiahou Tuo asked calmly: "He didn't contact Lao Liu to inquire about the situation of the Netherworld Governor's Mansion before going there? He just went there rashly?"

Wei Shu: "I've contacted you, but I don't know what's going on with Master Six, so I can't contact you for the time being. Master, what do you mean?"

Xiahou Tuo stopped using his chopsticks, suddenly showed a wry smile, looked at the dishes on the plate, shook his head and sighed, "Second brother, he has skills but no brains. He has been given a chance, but he insists on running to die. You guys, let me tell you what you are good at, hey!”

To die? Wei Shu was horrified, "Master, where do you start talking about this?" He took out the star bell and wanted to contact Xia Houling to remind him in time.

Xiahou Tuo pointed his chopsticks at the star bell in his hand, waved it, motioned not to touch it, put it away, and asked: "Do you still remember why you came to see me last time?"

Wei Shu took the Xing Ling bravely, thought for a moment, and said, "Remember, the second master took action to bring down the Ying family."

Xiahou Tuo sighed and said: "You said that Niu Youde was holding me by the nose, and you were worried that I would suffer a loss. You said that Niu Youde was too calm and calm against Lao Er, and seemed to have some back-up plan."

Wei Shu nodded repeatedly, "The master said at that time that Niu Youde did have a backup plan. He said, 'Niu Youde can be so calm and calm when facing the second child in the netherworld.' Then he stopped. The servant asked the master, but the master refused to tell. ”

Xiahou Tuo shook his head and sighed again, "Didn't I tell you? I said that the second brother's plan to establish power within the family by overthrowing Ying Jiuguang was probably in vain. I said that the second brother would not be able to get it for a long time. The support of his brothers, I said it was good for the brothers of the second brother not to hold him back, I said that Niu Youde could be so calm and calm against the second brother in the land of the netherworld...haven't I said enough? How do you feel about the relationship between Lao San and Niu Youde now?"

Wei Shu was still thinking about the meaning of his previous words, but he was surprised by the next sentence: "At that time, did you know that the third master and Niu Youde were colluding?"

Xiahoutuo ate the food slowly, "You guys, it was only after the fact that you realized that Lao San and Niu Youde were hooking up now. Don't you think it's too late? Niu Youde has already used Lao San to successfully buy time to rectify his subordinates. It’s over, and the Netherland is firmly under control. Now the Netherworld is no longer the final decision of Lao San. The best opportunity to suppress it has been missed. It’s meaningless to mention it again. I’ll ask you again, Lao San. How could he collude with Niu Youde?" (To be continued.)
