Du Changsheng wanted to avoid Ying Ruoli, but when the latter saw Ji Yuan walking aside, he stepped from the waves to the shore first and asked Du Changsheng with a smile.
"This Grand Master of Dazhen is really good at asking Uncle Ji to ask for an explanation from me. Even Emperor Dazhen has no face for you!"
Du Changsheng felt sweat on his forehead and hurriedly bowed towards Ying Ruoli.
"What Lady Ying said, Du had no intention of doing so, nor could it affect Mr. Ji's decision. Lady Ying's actions are of course fair, and Xiao Ling is solely responsible for it!"
Ying Ruoli looked at Du Changsheng calmly for a while, then said "hmm" and walked away. She didn't intend to pay attention to Du Changsheng's matter, but walked to Ji Yuan's chessboard to watch him play chess.
There was a chessboard placed on Ji Yuan's desk. He sat on the floor and watched the game that he had not finished before. Ying Ruoli walked to the side of the desk and didn't care that her skirt was dragged to the ground. She squatted down and watched.
"Uncle Ji, what's the relationship between Du Changsheng and you?"
"This person is a wonderful person. I just know him. However, as Dazhen's national master, he is still quite crucial to the general trend of Dazhen's humanity."
Ying Ruoli said "Oh", and she turned to look at the old turtle in the river while sitting at the table. Du Changsheng might not be too close to her uncle Ji, but this old turtle was definitely different. She just When I came back, I heard that this old turtle came all the way from Chunhui Mansion with Uncle Ji's decree.
On the other side, as soon as the dragon girl left, Du Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and turned his eyes to the old turtle on one side. Although he had a huge monster body, his face was kind and he should be able to speak well.
First, he saluted Old Turtle again, and then Du Changsheng spoke slowly.
"Friend Wu Dao, after all, the Xiao family is an important official in the Dazhen Dynasty. Du knows that you have deep grievances, but every wrong has its own owner. The descendants of the Xiao family cannot fully represent Xiao Jing. Well, of course, there must be some guilt. , Uh... I wonder what Fellow Wu Dao thinks?"
It was a bit difficult for Du Changsheng to do this. After all, he was a national master. He couldn't tell Lao Gui that it would be better to kill the Xiao family directly. After talking about it, he simply asked Lao Gui what he thought.
"Hehehehe..."
Old Turtle smiled, glanced at Ji Yuan and Long Nu over there, and said to Du Changsheng.
"It is Du Guoshi's duty. There are monsters who want to attack the important ministers of Dazhen. It will be difficult for you to have to wade through this muddy water."
"I mean, uh..."
Du Changsheng responded smoothly and could only smile awkwardly, and then saw the old turtle turning his head to look at the vast Tongtian River. After looking at it for a long time, he said with emotion.
"Sometimes, with just a quick glance, I feel that Tongtian River and Chunmu River have some similarities. The rolling waves of the river flow away, and the waves entering the sea will never return..."
Old Turtle turned his head to look at Du Changsheng, his eyes looked more human than most people Du Changsheng had ever seen.
"Old Turtle, I wasted hundreds of years, but now my practice is on the right track, and I may not be invincible when I become enlightened in the future. Even Chunmujiang Baijiang God once said that even if I have been in hardship for hundreds of years, it will be worth it to wait for a chance. And Xiao Jing has long been turned into loess, and his soul has been tortured and destroyed in the underworld. Wu Mou will not give up the basics and overly vent his anger for old grudges, ruining his spiritual career. "
Hearing this, Du Changsheng felt relieved. This ghost demon was a sensible person, and of course he must have Mr. Ji's face. It sounded as if the adults were going to let the Xiao family go completely, but the old turtle's next words made Du Changsheng heartbroken. Shaked.
"But Wu thought it would be better for the Xiao family to die."
Not only was Du Changsheng shocked, but Ji Yuan, who was about to make a move in his hand, paused for a moment. Ying Ruoli glanced at Ji Yuan and turned her attention to the old turtle, but she didn't see the person who said this. There was something violent about the old turtle.
Lao Gui didn't wait for Du Changsheng to speak and continued directly.
"Since Xiao Ling is no longer able to have children, and Wu Mou also considers Xiao Du to be even more incapable of having children, then in a few years, the Xiao family bloodline will be extinct. There is no need for me to dirty my hands, old turtle, but..."
Du Changsheng just looked happy when he heard this, and was about to speak, but this "but" frightened the words in his throat back, and the smile froze on his face.
'Grandpa Turtle, if you want to speak, can you please speak more cheerfully? '
"However, I want the Xiao family father and son to come here to see me, kowtow three hundred times, and agree to one condition. Otherwise, the ghosts and gods of Kyoto will not stop me!"
The old turtle said these words categorically, and a fierce demonic aura rose up, as if it had formed a roaring giant turtle in the air, and the momentum was very frightening.
Even Ji Yuan couldn't tell whether it was to scare Du Changsheng or if he really thought about what Lao Gui Wu Chong said. He could only say that the content of Lao Gui's words was definitely the truth.
Ji Yuan turned to look over there and saw that Du Changsheng seemed to be frightened and did not respond for a long time, so he gently placed the chess pieces on the chessboard.
"Pa~"
No one else could hear the crisp sound of falling, but Du Changsheng could hear it clearly, and he suddenly woke up.
"Well, if Fellow Taoist Wu has such a tolerant attitude, I admire you and tell you the truth. If we were to change places, Du would definitely try his best to make the Xiao family miserable. Fellow Taoist Du asked. I must tell the Xiao family truthfully, even if they dare not come, I will catch them!"
"Hahaha, Master Du Guo made a serious statement!"
Lao Gui laughed when he heard this. Du Changsheng's words were quite comfortable to hear.
…
Ji Yuan brought Du Changsheng with him when he came, but Du Changsheng was the only one when he returned. Ji Yuan sat by the river and continued to study the chessboard, while the old turtle had dived into the bottom of the river again, but had not swam away. It was too far away, so Longnu simply sat opposite Ji Yuan, resting her chin on the table with her elbows, occasionally looking at the chess pieces and occasionally looking at the river.
There were more teacups and teapots on the table, and there was tea in them, but neither Ji Yuan nor Longnu drank them.
The three of them are waiting here, waiting for Du Changsheng to invite the Xiao family. Whether they come right away or the next day or the third day does not matter to Ji Yuan and others.
However, Ji Yuan and others are not in a hurry, but Du Changsheng has to be in a hurry. Now he is using magic to rush forward, and he can reach a long distance in one step, which is much faster than ordinary warriors' light kung fu. Although he does not feel like he is shrinking to an inch, The speed is definitely faster than a galloping horse.
Du Changsheng did not stop all the way and rushed to the front of the Xiao Mansion as fast as he could. The guard guarding the door was stunned for a moment when he saw the light and shadow at the door. Du Changsheng's figure had already appeared outside the Xiao Mansion.
"Master Imperial Master!"
Several guards already knew Du Changsheng and hurriedly saluted when they saw him. Du Changsheng didn't bother to explain to the guards and just walked inside while talking.
"Master Xiao and Mr. Xiao are still at home, right? Du wants to see them right away!"
"Yes, Imperial Master, please come with me!"
The guards did not dare to stop him. One of them led Du Changsheng inside, while the other two trotted into the house to notify Xiao Du and others.
A quarter of an hour later, in the living room of Xiao Mansion, Xiao Du and Xiao Ling listened to Du Changsheng's narration with astonishment on their faces.
"Master, are you saying that you have just fought against evil spirits?"
"What kind of fight? Du Mou showed his old face and went to see Empress Tongtian Jiangying. She just wanted to ask about divine punishment, but unexpectedly, she actually met the old turtle who had an old grudge against your Xiao family! "
Xiao Du said in a hoarse voice.
"The Imperial Master saw that monster? It, isn't it in Chunmu River? It has already reached Tongtian River?"
"Hmph, not only did you arrive at the Tongtian River, but the nightmares you had in the past few days were also caused by the resentment of the old turtle. As descendants of Xiao Jing, you were entangled in the karma of your blood, so you caused bad karma and gave birth to nightmares. "
As if to increase his persuasiveness, when Du Changsheng finished his words, he turned the water into mist and condensed light and shadow, using illusion to recreate the riverside scene, showing the moment when the old turtle's demonic aura rose and roared.
"I want the Xiao family father and son to come here to see me, kowtow three hundred times, and agree to one condition. Otherwise, the ghosts and gods of Kyoto will not stop me!"
The old turtle's roar echoed, even if it was just an illusion, it was still very shocking, and the Xiao family father and son did not even dare to breathe.
"Guo, national master, what should we do..."
"What should we do? This is already great! If Du and Lao Gui change places, it would be no exaggeration to beat you to death based on the crimes committed by your Xiao family. Now he can betray Jiang It’s extremely rare for the Goddess and I to have the same face. It’s all up to you whether you follow Du’s words or not.”
Du Changsheng made his words clear, and then picked up the tea cup on the side of the coffee table. Without saying anything polite, he drank the tea in one gulp. Then he picked up the teapot and poured water, as if he was not afraid of getting hot at all, and kept drinking. He stopped after three cups of tea.
"National Master, if we don't go, do you have any other options?"
As soon as Xiao Du's question came up, Du Changsheng sighed.
"As the saying goes, it's hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words. Du was seriously injured by a spell before and has not recovered. To reach the current situation, he has done his best."
"But what if the monster deceives our father and son into going there and then uses evil methods to kill them? Then wouldn't my Xiao family be the last to succeed?"
Xiao Du's words made Du Changsheng sneer and thought, "Do you think your Xiao family has not yet eliminated its descendants?" But he couldn't say that on the surface, so he just followed the sneer and continued to smile and shake his head.
"Master Xiao, Master Xiao, you think too highly of your Xiao family. The old turtle is now successful in cultivation and has received enlightenment from experts. He is no longer what he used to be. However, the old grudges in his heart are an important part of his cultivation. The ring is your Xiao family's only chance. If you screw it up, do you really think the city walls of Kyoto can stop the monsters? "
Most of this sentence was guessed by Du Changsheng, but he really guessed the truth. It also made the Xiao family father and son speechless for a long time.
