Fairy, Please Let Me Explain - #558 - Chapter 533 Fengyuan Qin
Silver willow orchid is a kind of flower, and it is also the name of a cell in a heaven-level prison. Inside, there is an old man with white hair and beard, called Wuming.
All the people imprisoned in the Black Prison are talented people. In “Cangyuan”, a large part of them have side tasks. As long as the tasks are completed, the rewards are generous, some are given in money, and some are given skills. , and some simply follow you around.
Due to his identity, Xu Yuan was naturally at odds with the people in the Heavenly Prison. A large part of the information in “Cangyuan” was not used, but it did not include the old man named Wuming.
When the protagonist of the plot took advantage of the emptiness of the prime minister’s palace and caused a big fuss in the black prison to rescue him, the old man acted very calmly. After being thrown into this black prison by the prime minister for decades, he did not show any affection towards Xu Yinhe. How much hatred, he just smiled and asked the plot protagonist what happened in the outside world while he was imprisoned, and then Wuming left.
When they meet again, Wuming, who was originally only level 99, has already exceeded 100 levels on his forehead. At that time, players can take on his mission.
A treasure quest.
Although Xu Yuan roughly remembers the location of the treasure and Treasure Hunting Girl is nearby, a token is required to enter that place, and the token can only be obtained from Wuming.
It is precisely because of this that when Xu Yuan passed by Yinliulan Prison some time ago, Xu Yuan marked the old man and prepared to come over and use the information learned in “Cangyuan” to collect gold coins from the old man when necessary.
Just after hearing the words clearly, Xu Yuan suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some information gaps between his own information and the information known to the other party.
However, after pondering for a while, Xu Yuan finally suppressed the thought of language testing.
Because of his hesitation just now, Qing, who was opposite him, was already looking at him with suspicion. As a prison commander, although Qing was not mentally normal, he still had the most basic sense of interrogation.
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make.
This is not good.
The main thing he came over to blast the old man’s gold coins was to bully the superiors and conceal the inferiors. The bully was that it was impossible for Qing to reconcile with his father. If he was suspected by Qing, although he would not report it directly to the father, the other party would never give him any more money. He leads the way.
At that time, if he wants to go to Yinliulan, he will have to ask Lou Ji. It will be very troublesome to explain. On the one hand, the most important thing is that Lou Ji, that damn woman, will cheat him out of his money.
The footsteps of the three people echoed in the narrow corridor, and the torches on both sides swayed with the cold convection wind.
Moving forward in silence, Xu Yuan silently thought about what Qing had just said.
There’s not a lot of information in it, but it’s really interesting to extract the useful bits.
First of all, Wuming’s identity is a very high secret within the Prime Minister’s Mansion. As the prison commander, Qing knows his identity because of his position.
The second is those fragmentary sentences and Qing’s attitude.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was of course clear that Xu Yinhe arranged for him to be unknown.
Put these scattered words together
Qing felt that it was a matter of course that his father arranged for Xu Yuan to meet Wuming on the first day of the new year.
Combined with the information obtained in “Cangyuan”
Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Yuan suddenly felt Ran Qingmo tugging him gently. When he looked back, he saw her saying softly:
“arrive.”
“.”
Xu Yuan looked back after hearing this.
Qing had already stopped in front of a closed iron prison door.
Raising his eyebrows, Xu Yuan asked slightly doubtfully:
“I remember that Yinliulan Prison seems not so close to your study.”
Qing Wen’s words sounded a bit unkind:
“Who do you think it’s because of? The last battle between Feng Jiuxuan and Saint Naxien destroyed half of the Black Prison. If the Qiankun Mechanism Array had not been activated in advance, less than half of the prisoners in Tianji Prison would have been able to take advantage of the chaos and escape!”
Xu Yuan had forgotten about this incident.
The Black Prison is a giant maze built underground by the Prime Minister’s Mansion. Each prison is a movable part that can be rotated and translated through the mechanism structure.
The battle between the saints that night must have caused considerable damage to the Black Prison, and Qing was probably very anxious during this period.
With a slight smile, Xu Yuan shrugged and said:
“My father is the one who made the final decision on this plan, I am just the executor.”
Hearing this, Qing, who was originally so aggressive, immediately withered and snorted:
“Stop talking nonsense, I’m opening the door now.”
As he said that, Qing glanced at the girl in black clothes next to Xu Yuan:
“You want to bring her in?”
Xu Yuan hesitated slightly and nodded:
“Since I’m here, she naturally wants to accompany me in.”
“snort.”
Another cold snort, Qing stretched out a withered and thin arm from under the black robe and pressed it gently on the door, and said in a routine manner:
“Because of the hole that Feng Jiuxuan cut, a lot of spiritual energy poured into the black prison. Although the big hole has been blocked now, and the source energy inside has been extracted with a special magic weapon, there may still be more There may still be some residue. This bit of source energy may be useless to ordinary cultivators, but the old man inside is different. Remember not to get too close.”
Sensing the iron surface in front of him gradually shaking, Xu Yuan smiled and said:
“Don’t worry, I’m just saying a few words to him.”
“hope so.”
After Qing murmured something, he asked softly:
“You go to see him, do you need me to follow you?”
Xu Yuan thought for a while, considering the content of the conversation next, he shook his head and said:
“Well, no need. Private matters are not for outsiders to hear.”
“Is this so”
Qing didn’t seem surprised and continued to give instructions: “Although there is a high probability that he will not take action against you, after all, after seeing him for so many years, I’m afraid… forget it, I will seal my hearing and wait for you at the door, if something happens.”
Speaking of this, Qing glanced at Xu Yuan, glanced at Ran Qingmo and said:
“You can inform me directly with Yuan Qi or Mind Soul.”
When the voice fell, there was a heavy sound of metal friction, and the closed iron door was slowly opened, revealing a slightly dark room inside.
The moment he saw the layout inside, Xu Yuan’s eyes narrowed unconsciously.
Dim, but there is light
This is not normal.
Prisoners have no human rights in this era. The prisons in the Black Prison are the same as the one where Aulunli was imprisoned. They are all completely dark inside, but there is light inside this Silver Willow Orchid.
Feeling slightly confused, Xu Yuan was about to ask the reason, but saw that the woman was already leaning against the wall, closing her eyes and concentrating.
“She has blocked her hearing.”
Ran Qingmo reminded in a low voice: “Shall we go in now?”
“certainly.”
Xu Yuan chuckled lightly and stepped directly into the prison in front of him. When he saw the layout of the prison, a flash of surprise unconsciously flashed in his eyes.
This cell is different from the one in “Cang Yuan”. It is actually a suite.
Under the illumination of a flickering oil lamp, although the entire room was dim, it was not cramped, with a space of about twenty square meters, and there was a wooden door at the end of the room.
“clatter”
“clatter”
“clatter”
There are some old furniture in this prison, but a layer of dust has accumulated on the surface. The prisoners living inside have obviously not been outside for a long time, but judging from the wooden texture of these furniture, the materials are all It was extraordinary, just like the special cell where Xu Yuan once lived.
As he walked slowly in, Xu Yuan took out two brocade handkerchiefs and gave one to Ran Qingmo to cover his mouth and nose to block the dust. He walked to the wooden door and stood in silence.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Yuan decided to be polite and knock on the door first.
“Tuk tuk tuk”
The gentle knock on the door echoed in the silent prison, but there was silence inside.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan subconsciously glanced at the girl next to him, and Ran Qingmo was also blinking at him.
“.”
“.”
Big eyes stare at small eyes.
When people are undecided, they will always subconsciously seek the opinions of those around them, but unfortunately the person following him now is Da Bingtuozi. If it were Li Qingyan, he might be able to give him some advice.
Smiling, Xu Yuan knocked on the door again and said loudly:
“Excuse me, can I come in?”
“.”
The dark environment, the old and deserted prison, and the cold convection wind gave it a rather eerie feeling.
But there was still no response from inside.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan also felt a sense of humor in his heart.
The old man who was about to get his gold coins inside must have heard what was going on here. He is already a prisoner and he is still here silently pretending to be an expert?
“Squeaky-“
With the ancient wooden door squeaking, Xu Yuan pushed the door open and walked in. He covered his mouth and nose with a brocade handkerchief and said softly:
“Be silent and I’ll take it as your acquiescence.”
“boom!”
Before he finished speaking, a roar suddenly exploded in front of Xu Yuan, and the strong and strong wind blew his cheeks in pain.
When his pupils focused, Xu Yuan saw an ink sword standing in front of his eyes, and a withered palm was clutching tightly on the sharp edge of the ink sword.
Wuming took action.
And Ran Qingmo helped him block the blow.
As soon as this thought came to mind, several strong winds struck behind me!
Six emaciated and slender arms flew past Xu Yuan and Ran Qingmo like spiders, and directly hit the gray-robed old man in front of them hard.
Qing, who sensed the fluctuation of Yuanqi, also took action.
The air was silent for a moment, and there was a muffled sound.
“boom!”
The blow just now seemed to have exhausted the energy that Wuming had accumulated. Without any ability to resist, the Wuming old man’s whole body was directly hit hard and flew backwards.
In a flash of lightning, everything settled.
However, Qing didn’t seem to make any heavy moves. The unknown old man’s gray clothes moved in the air a few times before landing firmly on the ground.
The figure of the unknown old man also looks rickety due to his old age, and his beard looks a bit sloppy because it has not been trimmed for many years. It is difficult to see his true face, but the eyes shining from it are indeed locked on Xu Yuan’s face. .
Looking at each other for a moment,
Xu Yuan stared at the old man with a somewhat unkind look:
“Old man, this meeting gift of yours is such a surprise. I almost lost my head.”
“.”
The unknown old man did not speak.
But whether it was an illusion or not, Xu Yuan found that after saying these words, the eyes of the old man in gray clothes with a stooped figure opposite him became a little confused, and his stooped back seemed to hang lower.
After a few breaths of silence,
The nameless old man’s snow-white beard moved and he seemed to smile coquettishly:
“Old…I, hehe. Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. Since you are here, just sit down for a while. Oh, look at my memory. I will clean it up for you first. It’s too messy…it’s too messy.”
Probably because he hadn’t spoken for a long time, the nameless old man’s voice was trembling and disorderly. As he spoke, under Xu Yuan’s slightly puzzled eyes, the rickety old man with white hair hanging down to the ground began to tidy up the room.
The back room is cleaner than the outside, perhaps because the unknown old man has been active in the back room and there is not much dust, but the furniture and the floor are covered with various books, which seem to be for his entertainment. of.
While tidying up the back room, the nameless old man secretly looked at Xu Yuan at the door, and continued to talk softly:
“Haha. The girl you brought here is quite handsome and has good cultivation. Well, your wedding banquet should have been held by now.”
“.”
Xu Yuan frowned and said nothing.
When the unknown old man saw this, he quickly smiled:
“Ahem, I’m a little impatient. Sit down first. Sit down first. Let’s talk after you sit down.”
Seeing the cautious attitude of the semi-saint old man towards him, Xu Yuan subconsciously glanced back at the prison door, only to see that Qing had already withdrawn. She didn’t seem worried that the old man would continue to attack him.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan’s guess about the old man’s identity was somewhat confirmed.
Thinking about it, Xu Yuan suddenly asked softly:
“You just wanted to kill me, right?”
The room fell silent for a moment, and the nameless old man paused in collecting books.
For a long time,
The old man slowly stood up straight, looked at Xu Yuan, wiped the gray robe on his body with his wrinkled palms, and said softly:
“I didn’t know you were here just now, please don’t be angry.”
“.” Xu Yuan said nothing.
The unknown old man quickly looked at Ran Qingmo who was standing aside and said quickly:
“Don’t believe it, if I really want to take your life, that girl just now can’t stop it, right, girl?”
As the words fell, the oil lamp flickered silently.
Ran Qingmo on the side gently pulled the corner of Xu Yuan’s clothes and whispered:
“Xu Yuan. It was indeed this old man who took the initiative to stop just now.”
The unknown old man suddenly became energetic and nodded quickly:
“Yes! That’s it, that’s it.”
Speaking of which,
The unknown old man suddenly paused and asked carefully:
“Changtian, do you want to sit for a while before leaving?”
“.”
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan was sure of the old man’s identity. He breathed out gently, pulled Ran Qingmo slowly into the back room, and asked as he walked:
“How did you recognize me, Grandpa?”
“.”
The moment she heard the name, Fengyuanqin’s cloudy eyes lit up and she rubbed her hands:
“Can I still recognize my Qian’er’s child? She often talks about you three brothers. Judging from your bone age, you can only be the youngest. It’s a bit messy here. Next time you come over, grandpa will definitely Pack it up for you.”
After all,
Fengyuanqin took a tentative look at Xu Yuan’s face.
Xu Yuan stared at the cautious old man for a moment, then chuckled and replied:
“good.”
