The child's father was Master Yuchu in his early thirties. He eagerly picked up the child to test his breathing. The look on his face showed that the child was fine.
Siruo on the side woke up from a dream and walked over, "If one of you escapes, will there be any future troubles?"
Wu Dongfang waved his hand, "I deliberately didn't kill it and let it go back to report the news. If I encounter such a thing in the future, I will kill it without mercy. If we let it go, they will continue to come to our territory." Run up."
Si Ruo nodded in agreement and walked over to check on the two dead farmers. The two monsters were killed by Wu Dongfang before they could leave the farmers' bodies. They did not leave any corpses behind after their death.
When Si Ruo was looking at the farmer's body, Yun Ping came over with the Master Yu Chu. The latter held the child and saluted and thanked him. Wu Dongfang tilted his head and glanced at the Master. He was very disappointed with this Master who was desperately trying to protect his stupid son. The impression was good, and she nodded to him with a smile.
Master Yuchu thanked him and bowed and left. Yunping looked at the Tu wizards behind him, and then at Wu Dongfang.
Yunping is the murderer of the Jin clan wizard. Even if he is not the culprit, he is also the number one accomplice. His father-in-law and mother-in-law were all killed by this guy. He hates Yunping very much, but Yunping is too smart. This guy After looking at the Tu wizard, he looked at him again, undoubtedly asking for his opinion. The implication was, 'If you agree to serve as the Holy Wizard of the Five Tribes, I will immediately lead the visit. '
The reason why we need to seek his opinion first is because the Holy Wizard of the Five Tribes is not an easy job. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. After becoming the Holy Wizard of the Five Tribes, he will have to deal with any troubles the Tu people encounter in the future.
Wu Dongfang shook his head slightly. He really didn't want to be a holy witch of the five tribes. Giving up the throne to Si Shaokang was enough. He didn't have a deep friendship with Si Shaokang, so he couldn't work endlessly pulling carts for Si Shaokang.
Yun Ping understood immediately. At this time, Si Ruo had already walked towards Wu Dongfang. Yun Ping retreated slowly and dispersed with the Tu wizards.
Wu Dongfang watched Yun Ping leave. Yun Ping was impeccable in his work. He had He Shen's smoothness and Ji Yun's wisdom. He was both a fool and a capable minister. Unfortunately, this guy had a blood feud with the Jin clan, so the two could no longer be friends.
"Jin Sheng, please." Si Ruo raised her hand sideways.
Wu Dongfang knew that Si wanted to take him into the palace, so he waved his hand and said, "The Jin clan still has many things waiting for me to deal with. I won't go to see Emperor Xia. You go and tell him and say hello to him on my behalf."
"The current situation is turbulent and the people's hearts are unstable. If you stay in Xiadu..."
Wu Dongfang interrupted Si Ruo, "You are the Xuanhuang Celestial Master. These are all things you should do. It is not convenient for me to interfere." At this point, Si Ruo looked depressed. After careful consideration, he handed over a condensed stone ball. He told her, "If you encounter any trouble, you can call me over."
Si Ruo happily took the stone ball and held it in her hand, "Thank you Jin Sheng."
Wu Dongfang nodded, "Okay, it's getting late, I have to leave."
After bidding farewell to Si Ruo, Wu Dongfang returned from Tudun. He returned to the main hall and put down his bow and arrows. He took out the stone letter in his arms and opened the stone letter. He saw that what was inside was indeed a sound-transmitting bug. There were three of them, arranged neatly.
Wu Dongfang was not in a hurry to activate the sounding bug. He was a little nervous, a little excited, and a little impatient. What he was thinking about at this time was why he was nervous, why he was excited, and why he couldn't wait.
In fact, the answer is very clear. He has always liked Shaomiao, but after Shamiao left him, he showed rejection, loss and anger. He had seen these three emotions many times in soldiers who were kicked by their girlfriends after joining the army.
At this time, the order of placing things was from right to left. Taking a deep breath to calm down, Wu Dongfang picked up the sounding bug on the far right.
As long as the temperature rises to a certain level, the sound-monitoring bug will wake up. Fire is just a means of raising temperature. At this time, he has mastered the fire clan's Qi movement method and can control the temperature of his palms.
The sound-producing insect gradually revived, and after dozens of seconds it completely woke up and began to rub its wings.
Sound-emitting bugs make sounds by rubbing their wings, but this sound-emitting bug made no sound even though it was rubbing its wings.
Xin Luo had used a sound-messaging bug to leave him a message that day, so he knew that the sound-messaging bug could carry a message for twenty to thirty seconds. He also knew that the sound-messaging bug would start working when it rubbed its wings, but after waiting for more than ten seconds, this one The sounding bug just rubbed its wings and made no sound.
The sounding bug started working but made no sound, not because there was something wrong with the sounding bug, but because Yamiao was hesitant about what to say to him after activating the sounding bug.
Twenty seconds later, Yaomiao's voice finally came, "I know you kept Yunping because of me."
Then there was silence for several seconds. After a few seconds, the sound-monitoring bug stopped rubbing its wings and began to crawl in his palm. Wu Dongfang put it on the table. The temperature dropped and the sound-monitoring bug quickly died.
Wu Dongfang stared at the dead sounding bug in a daze. The reason why he stayed in Yunping was to ensure Si Shaokang's smooth succession, and he had no friendship with Si Shaokang. It was not his obligation to ensure Si Shaokang's smooth succession, but he In order to help Si Shaokang succeed to the throne, he forgave Yunping, who had led a team to massacre the Jin wizards.
The ancients used the word spit on one's face to describe a person who is very popular, but he is not very magnanimous. If anyone dares to spit at him, he will beat him till his face is red. He is the type of person who must avenge his grievances, and it is not in line with his style to forgive those who have hurt him, but he did it, ostensibly for the sake of the common people in the world, and did not want large-scale wars to occur in Kyushu. In fact, this is not the main reason. The real reason why he forgives and appoints Yunping is to help Yaomiao realize her long-cherished wish.
This was his subconscious thought, and even he himself was not aware of it, but the authorities were confused and the bystanders knew clearly. Ming Yue was an outsider and found that he had done things that were inconsistent with his own style of behavior, so he became angry after hearing that he had forgiven Yun Ping. , thinking that he did it for Yamiao, and then asked, "Is returning the government to Si Shaokang the intention of Yamiao?" '
After being lost in thought for a long time, Wu Dongfang recovered his thoughts and sighed. Yao Miao's thinking was very careful, thorough and profound. This was naturally not the thinking of a girl in her twenties. This was the thinking of an older woman. By this time, he had already It is impossible to separate Yamiao and Ji Ke. Maybe even Yamiao himself cannot completely distinguish the two different thoughts in his mind.
No matter what, there was still warmth in this sentence, which made him very happy, and at the same time, it made him even more sad.
Putting the dead sounding bug into the stone letter, Wu Dongfang took out a second one and used it to increase the temperature.
"The new emperor has succeeded to the throne. My duties have been completed. The position of the Holy Wizard of the Tu tribe has been passed to Si Ruo. Soon I will be away from home and find a secluded place to live in seclusion for the rest of my life. I have experienced all kinds of things and will never forget them. There is a common thing left in my old place, which is related to You keep it as a souvenir.”
Yamiao didn't speak very fast, and there was a pause in the middle. At this point, the second sounding bug stopped rubbing its wings.
Wu Dongfang frowned, and Yao Miao's tone was very calm, which showed that she was very calm deep inside, so calm that she dared to face her inner feelings, and admitted that her acquaintance with him was unforgettable. This kind of calmness is indeed consistent with a person who has completed her mission and retired to the mountains. The state of mind of an elderly woman, but this calmness is also consistent with the state of mind of a person who has died peacefully.
There is no doubt that Yamiao did not tell the truth. Her departure was not to go into seclusion, but to do a very dangerous thing. What she said just now was just to reassure him.
As for the "old place" mentioned by Yamiao, he undoubtedly refers to the Shuiliandong where they parted ways, where the things Yamiao wanted to give him were placed. When Yaomiao said this, she probably hadn't sent her things to Shuiliandong yet. She didn't know that any outsiders had been to Shuiliandong.
Eager to rush to the Water Curtain Cave, Wu Dongfang put down the second sounding bug and took out the last one from the stone letter.
"Emperor Xia intends to make you a holy witch of the five tribes. Please do not refuse. The five tribes have gone through previous catastrophes. The witchcraft line has withered and the number of people is not prosperous. They are looking for you in public to continue the bloodline and strengthen their prestige."
Under normal circumstances, business matters are usually put first, and private matters are left at the end. It is unlikely that this third messenger has been misplaced, and judging from Yao Miao's tone, this sentence does come from the second paragraph. After the words.
Wu Dongfang didn't believe that Yamiao had gone into seclusion at all, so she was not confused by this last paragraph. This paragraph seemed a bit redundant, but it revealed Yamiao's true thoughts deep in her heart. She was worried that she could not To prevent the potential catastrophe, he was allowed to accept the canonization and serve as the Holy Wizard of the Five Tribes, and to strengthen the Wizards of the Five Tribes as soon as possible to deal with the possible catastrophe.
After releasing all the sound-transmitting bugs into Shihan, Wu Dongfang took his bow and arrows and came to Shuilian Cave with Tudun.
The body of the Tu Celestial Master he killed earlier had been moved away long ago, and a small cloth bag was placed on the stone bed in the cave.
Wu Dongfang stepped forward, picked up the cloth bag, and immediately judged that it was a pair of shoes based on its outline.
There were no ready-made shoes at this time, they were all handmade. Shoes were usually used by women as tokens of love. Although Yamiao never said too close words to him, she admitted from the side that there was something more than friendship between them. Emotions exist.
Holding the cloth bag, Wu Dongfang had mixed feelings in his heart. There were two completely different thoughts and two completely different feelings in Yamiao's mind. Both of these feelings were real to her. Emphasis on any one was a reflection on the other. A paragraph of blasphemy, just mastering this speed is enough to make her extremely entangled.
After confirming that nothing else was left in the cave, Wu Dongfang put the cloth bag into the Qiankun Bag. After thinking for a while, Tudun disappeared. He did not return to the Jin tribe, but went to the capital of the Tu tribe. After appearing at the inn, he walked out through the wall. , volleying towards the south.
After a while, he came to the cave where Yamiao stored his sundries. The entrance to the cave was closed, but it was not difficult for him to open it.
Naturally, he would not think that Yamiao was here. The reason why he came here was to confirm his guess and judgment. When he opened the cave door, he saw a pile of ashes in the middle of the cave, and the box that originally contained clothes was empty.
Unlike modern underwear and bras, which are hung to dry at will, women's clothes at this time, especially undergarments and shirts, are very private. The materials of the clothes originally packed in the boxes are very expensive. If Yamiao really wants to live in seclusion, it will not happen. Take these things with you.
There was heavy smoke remaining in the cave. Judging from the smell, these clothes had been burned recently.
Through careful observation, Wu Dong found several fruit cores and several lotus leaves wrapped with food in the corner. The existence of these things showed that Yamiao had been here more than once before. In other words, she had settled here recently. Ordered.
After a short stay, Wu Dongfang sealed the entrance of the cave and returned to the Jin clan with Tudun. He sat back on a wooden chair, closed his eyes and sighed...
