Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 79: Daxia Dragon Bird

Views:

The so-called need for Zhao Changhe and Cui Yuanyang to provide circumstantial evidence seems to be meaningless in this matter. No wonder no one asked them for details. The key point has nothing to do with them anymore, so asking for more details will only make things meaningless.

The simplest and most straightforward solution now is to bring out the Qinghe Sword. Whoever has the most evil thoughts in his heart will be killed by the Qinghe Sword. Isn't that the end of the matter

Cui Wenjing, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke slowly: "Please bring out the Qinghe Sword. I agree, but one thing must be clarified first."

Everyone bowed and said, "Please let the master of the house make it clear."

Cui Wenjing looked around and said coldly, "I don't know why all the topics are focused on the suspicion of Yuan Yong and Yuan Cheng, as if the other cousins, brothers, and even uncles are not suspected at all... Who started this atmosphere and led a group of idiots astray?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and some people blushed.

Of course, there are many people who did it intentionally, either overtly or covertly. Since two of Cui Chang's eldest sons are suspects, doesn't that give others a chance

There are so many rhythmic voices, and many people are misled by them, without even thinking about the suspicion of others.

Cui Wenjing said coldly: "That's a good plan. How many people in the world dare to say that they have never done evil and have never had evil thoughts in their hearts? If only Yuan Yong and Yuan Cheng accept the test of the magic sword, the magic sword will not speak and will only choose one of them to kill. Who knows why it killed? My son died in vain, and even his death will be wronged!"

The old man who introduced the situation earlier nodded and said, "Wen Jing's words make sense. I have never thought about this before."

Cui Wenjing said: "So please take out the Qinghe Sword, yes, but everyone must try the sword, whoever has the heaviest evil in his heart at this moment, that's who it will be!"

Cui Wenjue couldn't help but ask: "Brother, is this inappropriate... As you just said, the judgment of good and evil ghosts by the Qinghe Sword may not be based on this matter..."

Cui Wenjing glanced at him sideways, and only laughed when he saw that he was on pins and needles. "At this moment, the most serious evil in your heart is this matter, which is most likely to be exposed to the outside world and sensed by the magic sword. If there are only two people to choose from, Yuan Yong and Yuan Cheng, then even if they have not done it, the magic sword can only choose the relatively evil one to kill, which is meaningless. Only by trying all of them, can you really be exposed. You control an entire county, and you don't understand this truth?"

Cui Wenjue had no choice but to say, "Big brother is right. But the Bronze Hall is so small that people can only enter in batches. How can we tell who has the biggest problem?"

"I can control the sword myself. I will explode after all of them have touched the divine sword." Cui Wenjing was too lazy to say more. He looked around and said calmly, "Are you all willing to give it a try?"

Cui Yuanyong and Cui Yuancheng both said loudly: "Yes!"

Others can only say they are willing. If anyone says they are unwilling at this time, wouldn't it be obvious that they have something to hide

"Okay." Cui Wenjing smiled and stood up. "Most of the nephews are not here now. You can go back and call people to gather outside the bronze hall. Yuanyang Changhe, follow me first. You are the victims and you need to be witnesses inside the most."

After saying this, Cui Wenjing left the ancestral temple. Cui Yuanyang and Zhao Changhe looked at each other and followed him.

The copper palace was indeed very small, just the size of an ordinary room, and it was too crowded for more than a dozen people to stand inside. After all, it was made of pure copper, and this size was already terrifying, and the Cui family didn't treat money as dirt.

The hall was pitch black, but everyone had some night vision and could see clearly that there were desks on the left and right, with a sword and a knife on display.

Before they could see clearly, Zhao Changhe and Cui Yuanyang shuddered at the same time. They both felt an extremely fierce murderous intent looming over them, yet majestic and unpredictable.

The Qinghe Sword is indeed extraordinary. No wonder it needs to be guarded by the Bronze Temple. If it were placed in an ordinary place, it would be filled with murderous intent all the time. Who would live near it

"Damn it... I usually feel like I'm just playing around with low-level martial arts, but this fantasy world is really desperate." Zhao Changhe muttered in his heart. He didn't look at the other person's magic sword, but stared at the knife with a fiery look.

There is no need to unsheathe the sword for testing... If the sword that Xia Longyuan bestowed on the Cui family is of the same grade as this magic sword, even if it is slightly inferior, it is still the best of the best, a peerless sword with fantasy attributes!

Moreover, the shape and weight were so suitable for him. For the first time, Zhao Changhe felt what it was like to "dream about it". God has mercy on him. Others thought that he had many romantic rumors. In fact, he had never had the same desire for this knife for all the women he knew!

Cui Wenjing stood in front of the sword rack with his hands behind his back, looking down at the sword, as if he was distracted. Cui Yuanyang looked at his father, then at Zhao Changhe, and suddenly an epiphany came to his mind.

What my father had said to me before... He just wanted me to take Zhao Changhe to secretly try out the knife at this time. There was no need for me to rack my brains to think about how to trick the guards of the Bronze Palace to steal. That was not a feat I could accomplish.

No wonder Brother Zhao called him an old fox. How come I didn’t realize that my father was so sinister... uh, so powerful...

She quietly tugged at Zhao Changhe, whose eyes were burning, and whispered in his ear, "Touch the knife. He might reject it, so we won't consider it. If he doesn't reject it, we'll discuss it later."

Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment, then looked at Cui Wenjing: "Your father..."

"It's okay, he doesn't know."

"..." Zhao Changhe looked at Cui Wenjing, who was indeed looking at the sword with a lot on his mind and not paying attention to this side. He also had some idea in his mind, walked forward carefully, and stretched out his hand to gently grasp the handle of the knife.

Cui Yuanyang looked at him carefully. When Zhao Changhe grasped the hilt of the knife, he seemed to be shocked. Cui Yuanyang's heart was in his throat, fearing that he would be flung away in the next moment... However, after the initial shock, there was no sound. Zhao Changhe closed his eyes instead, as if he was realizing something.

Cui Yuanyang's face was filled with ecstasy, and he turned to look at his father. Cui Wenjing still looked like he was looking at his sword in deep thought, but a smile appeared on his lips, and he said slowly, "It's okay, let him feel the opportunity. Go and see if they have come, and ask your uncle and grandfather to come in to witness, and the younger generation to come in one by one to be tested."

Cui Yuanyang ran out excitedly to call for the people. Soon, several respected elders came in to witness the scene. They were all stunned to see Zhao Changhe standing by the knife, holding the knife in his hand. They looked at Cui Wenjing, who stood there holding the sword calmly: "The guest is just looking at the knife, don't be stingy. Let the person in."

The elders of the clan were not interested in this and did not say anything, so the test for Cui family's internal traitor officially began.

The first tester to enter was Cui Yuancheng, who was the most suspicious. The young man came to his father without saying anything and asked, "How is the test done? Do you just touch it or do you need to draw blood?"

He looked eager to try, as if he was really anxious to clear his name.

Cui Wenjing stretched out his sword and said, "Just touch it casually, anywhere. The sword is spiritual and will record your breath and make a comparison."

Cui Yuancheng simply touched it again and again, as if he must remember the magic sword. The elders nearby laughed in silence. Just from this performance, the young man's suspicion was reduced by half.

The same thing happened to Cui Yuanyong who was behind him. He was more steady than his brother. When he entered the room, he first clasped his fists and bowed to everyone, then touched the sword, as if he was reluctant to let go.

Cui Yuanyang breathed a sigh of relief and knew that it couldn’t be his two brothers’!

As long as it wasn't them, it didn't seem to matter to anyone else. Cui Yuanyang lost his thoughts again and went to see his lover quietly. It had been a while, how was he

Zhao Changhe did not fall into some extremely mysterious illusion as expected, but only experienced the meaning of the knife.

He was initially repelled by the recoil, but subconsciously he used his internal force to control it. As soon as this internal force touched the handle of the knife, the knife suddenly became happy, with a sense of joy and excitement.

That was not the life-like existence of the "sword spirit" or "knife spirit" that I had imagined before, but the "will" of the magic weapon itself. Its spirituality was inherent, thirsty for blood and eager to go to the battlefield, and it was unwilling to be kept in a dark temple for a long time and be useless.

But not everyone is qualified to use it. Do ordinary people want to touch "I"

The word "huanghuang" means "emperor". The mountains and rivers are vast, and no one disobeys the order. Wherever the blade points, thousands of people will fight!

The dragon is the green dragon. It rises in the east, with the fire in its heart shining like the sun. Grass and trees grow in spring, and midsummer is approaching.

The sparrow is the Vermilion Bird, dominating the South Pole with blazing flames. Everything in the nine directions is burned to ashes, but life is hidden in the midst of the burning.

The Azure Dragon represents life, the Vermillion Bird represents death, life and death change secretly, and the sun and the moon rotate.

Then Qian and Kun met and formed Daxia.

Great Xia Dragon Bird!

Zhao Changhe suddenly had a feeling... The killing power of the divine weapon he felt when he entered the door before didn't seem to be from the Qinghe Sword, but from the Great Xia Dragon Bird... Could it be that the Qinghe Sword has nothing special

If the Qinghe Sword had no special properties at all, then was the father-in-law's test actually a tactic to hide the truth? To prevent those with ulterior motives from knowing that there was something wrong with the Qinghe Sword

Just as he was thinking this, a murderous intent was faintly felt, so Qinglong turned his head and Zhuque stared intently.

Who dares to challenge the majesty of heaven

Zhao Changhe opened his eyes and looked sideways. He saw an unfamiliar young man from the Cui family who was taking the Qinghe Sword test. However, the man was glancing at Zhao Changhe with murderous intent hidden in his eyes, which then quickly disappeared.

The Great Xia Dragon Bird was shaking wildly. Who! Such disrespect deserves nine deaths!

Everyone in the field looked over in shock, and the young man also took a half step back in horror.

The long sword in Zhao Changhe's hand kept shaking, but his eyes were fixed on the man, and he sneered: "Are you very angry? I stopped your plot to murder Yangyang, so you are targeting me?"

The man continued to back away: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Roar!" The dragon roared and the phoenix cried, and the sound of swords rang out!

Zhao Changhe did not answer, but the broadsword in his hand suddenly rose up, cutting through the small space and slashing towards the opponent's head!

Regardless of whether the Qinghe Sword from my father-in-law is useful or not, Daxia Longque has already determined the murderous intention. For Zhao Changhe, what other evidence is needed? Since you want to kill me, I will kill you first! Are you waiting for your father
