According to Mr. Shen, if he was led by the nose all the time, he would be exhausted and still not be able to find Liu Qingqing.
Therefore, it is better to do the opposite, to catch him by surprise, take advantage of his unpreparedness, and attack one point fiercely, so that he can take the enemy general's head among the thousands of troops.
I slapped his mouth twice and asked him: "Can you speak human language?"
Duke Shen chuckled: "As the saying goes, since Yin Wuxin doesn't want you to go back to Shanyin City, I will take you to the city. Let's see who is worried in the end, you or Xu."
Damn it, as soon as he said these words, I suddenly understood.
Yes, Yin Wuxin doesn't want me to return to Shanyin City, so he must have given Xu a fatal order, that is, to hold me back at all costs.
Then if I pretend to go back to Shanyin City, he will definitely show up to stop me.
This is an unimagined road, and I have to say that these old monsters are really not free.
Sitting in a small restaurant at the foot of the mountain, Mr. Shen reminded me: "You guys are really conspicuous. Many people in the underworld know your identities. It's better not to appear together in the future."
If someone guesses your identity, I'm afraid that Emperor Dongyue himself will come out and kill you."
I grinned: "It's not that big of a deal, brother, am I so hated by people?"
"You? Let me tell you this, if the matter back then were really investigated, your sister might still be able to keep her body intact, but you wouldn't even have a chance to survive. Dong Yuefei would throw you under Mount Tai.
.”
Mr. Shen tapped the table lightly with his fingers: "In short, it's best to be cautious."
I, he, really want to cry without tears.
If I had known that this identity was so hot, I might as well have stayed in the mirror and lived peacefully for the rest of my life.
It's great now. I haven't gained any benefits, but I'm worried all day long. There are wolves in front of me and tigers in the back. When can I live a peaceful life for a few days?
"Forget it, let's talk about you."
I was quite helpless. I waved my hand impatiently and asked Shen Gong: "How do you know what happened six hundred years ago? Could it be that you are already a thousand years old?"
"I am a witch. The lifespan of a witch is limited. The most powerful witch only has a lifespan of about five hundred years."
Duke Shen shook his head: "The reason why I know that is because I received the inheritance from other great wizards in the clan before they died. Naturally, I also inherited his knowledge, wisdom, and spiritual power."
I was a little curious: "What is spiritual power?"
"That's what people call witchcraft."
Duke Shen pointed at his head: "Witches don't practice Taoism or internal strength. They only temper their physical body and spiritual power. The stronger the spiritual power of a witch, the more witch spells he can use and the stronger they are."
I asked him again: "Then according to what you said, there are many people in the Wu clan besides you?"
Duke Shen smiled bitterly: "If I said that I was the last witch in the world, would you believe it?"
I shook my head.
"But that's the fact."
Shen Gong shrugged: "I was born during the Republic of China, and my parents were almost two hundred years old when they gave birth to me.
Their physiques were not very good and they had no bones, so my grandfather could only pass on his wisdom and spiritual power to me before he died.
Then my grandfather passed away, and my parents also passed away in the 1980s. From the day they died, I was the last witch in the world."
I frowned: "That shouldn't be the case. For someone like you who is always merciful, you should be full of descendants by now!"
Duke Shen said in an indifferent tone: "I have said that I am a witch and they are human beings. Only when two witches are united can their descendants be called witches."
Actually, I understand what he means, that is, he doesn't accept crossbreeding.
But these words were quite unpleasant, and I didn’t dare to say them.
After a long silence, Mr. Shen called me: "Gu Yan, I actually admire you, but not as a person, but as a person.
If I guess correctly, you are not the same person you were six hundred years ago, but you are fused with his true spirit, right? This is also another way of rebirth.
You have a physique that God rewards you with, a five-element spirit body, and you can practice all the techniques in this world. Your soul can communicate with Taiyin, and the essence of Taiyin can also help you temper your mental power.
So when I helped you repair your body last night, the reason why I put so much effort into tempering your body again is because I hope you can come into contact with witchcraft in the future.
If something happens to me one day, the inheritance of this witch clan will not be cut off, are you right?"
What he said made my back feel a little chilly.
I was a little embarrassed: "Brother, don't be so nagging. With your current strength, aren't you walking sideways in the world? What accident could happen?"
As long as you don't commit suicide, you will definitely not die, so I advise you not to pursue those illusory things. If you are rich and powerful, just stop and live your life."
"You don't understand. I've said this before. What I pursue is different from yours."
Duke Shen shook his head: "I hope you can tell me your decision after rescuing Liu Qingqing, but whether you help me or not, I will give you a gift.
This can be regarded as a request, Gu Yan, if something happens to me, I hope you can help me pass on the Wu Clan's skills and don't let my Wu Clan cut off the Miao descendants, okay?"
I don't know exactly what Duke Shen meant when he said this.
But I seem to have no reason to refuse. At least he saved my life yesterday and gave me a lot of benefits.
So I nodded: "Don't worry, if that happens one day, I will do my best to help you continue the Wu Clan's skills."
Mr. Shen hummed, then stuffed the last steamed bun in front of him into his mouth: "Don't think too much, I'm just preparing in advance, after all, no one can say where the road ahead will lead.
Let’s go, let’s go up the mountain first, and we’ll talk about the rest later.”
After saying that, he stood up from the chair and made a gesture to check out.
But at this moment, a young, beautiful and fashionably dressed woman suddenly sat next to me.
I didn't think much about it at first, thinking she was here for breakfast. When I saw the two of us leaving, I quickly came over to grab a seat. After all, there were a lot of people in this restaurant.
Just as she remembered to put on clothes, the woman suddenly said: "Are they Mr. Gu and Mr. Hu?"
My movements froze, and Mr. Shen turned back to stare at the woman's face.
The woman looked very calm. She smiled slightly and took out a small round bead from her bag.
"I wonder if you two gentlemen know this thing?"
The woman spread her palms and said, "Zhenzhen Xu, I would like to invite you two to talk face to face."
