Chapter six hundred and ninety fourth wind and rain
When he saw clearly what was inside the jade box, the corners of Su Yi's lips twitched imperceptibly.
Another paper crane!
Why does that crazy woman like origami cranes so much?
Su Yi was speechless.
But immediately, he was stunned and realized that this paper crane was different.
Its whole body is light silver, its eyes are like a pair of crystal-clear blood diamonds, its head is lowered, and its beak is combing its wings. It is lifelike and vivid.
On the back of the paper crane, there is a bronze box that is only the size of a grain of rice.
What's even more incredible is that the bronze box is already small enough, but there is also a note sealed on the box.
The handwriting on the note was so small that it could only be seen clearly with spiritual thought.
"Old thief Su, keep this box safe for me."
"If one day you are in danger of your life, just open this box."
"I know you won't listen to advice and really want to know what's in that box, but please give me a face this time and don't do it, okay?"
After reading the handwriting on the note, Su Yi couldn't help but touch his nose.
This crazy woman's guess was really accurate. If it hadn't been for her last words, she would have opened this small box that looked like grains of rice.
"Using the 'Star Soul Silk' and 'Mysterious Demonic Blood Crystal' to fold paper cranes is really... a waste of natural resources..."
Su Yi cursed and closed the jade box again.
In his previous life, he was the master of the Xuanjun Sword that dominated the wilderness, and he collected countless rare treasures in the past years.
But compared to the pawnshop owner, he is slightly inferior.
That woman who was extremely beautiful but had an extremely violent temperament had many mysterious and unknowable treasures in her hands.
She is like a mysterious treasure, as if she can bring out some incredible and weird treasures at any time.
The "Heart-Knocking Bell", "Star Abacus" and "Discretionary Scale" in the pawn shop can be called rare treasures in the world.
And this is just a drop in the bucket of the treasures collected by the mad woman.
Putting away the jade box, Su Yi looked at the sky and walked toward the distance.
It's late in the morning.
The stars are sparse and the moon is fading, and the sky and earth are cold and silent.
The top of a mountain.
Dong Guofeng sat on the floor, looking at the bronze box in his hand, with a trace of hesitation in his expression.
As he said in the pawn shop, he had no needs and no intention to trade with Lao Chaofeng. He had always maintained an attitude of having no desires and no demands, no merit and no reward.
But in the end, Lao Chaofeng forced the bronze box to him.
Dong Guofeng still hasn't figured out what's going on.
"Could it be said that after weighing the calculations, he really believed that he was blessed with great blessings and good luck? Not only was he exempted from punishment, but he was also gifted with an opportunity?"
Dong Guofeng groaned.
What he saw in the pawn shop tonight opened his eyes and shocked him again and again.
It is simply unimaginable how such an incredible pawn shop could exist in this world.
There are even many imperial figures pawning things in it throughout the ages!
Such as the Yinghuo Sword left by the Sword Emperor of Xuanyou Realm, the left hand left by the Empress, etc.
All of this is completely beyond Dong Guofeng's cognition, and it still feels unreal to this day.
The night breeze was blowing, and suddenly a calm voice sounded:
"Given such an opportunity, you can calm down."
Dong Guofeng was shocked. He looked up and saw a familiar Junba figure walking from a distance.
It’s Su Yi!
"Did fellow Taoists see what happened before?"
Dong Guofeng stood up.
Su Yi said casually: "The origin of that pawn shop is very mysterious. It can be called the pawn shop of the heavens. It has been traveling in different world planes since ancient times. Anyone who is qualified to do business with the pawn shop is undoubtedly the lucky one.
"
As he spoke, he pointed at the bronze box and said, "The items in this box were left behind by a sword emperor on the demon path. They will be of great benefit to your sword practice and will enable you to become an emperor in the future."
At the same time, it adds a lot of confidence."
"But if you are favored by this thing, you will also be bound by the cause and effect of this thing. You should consider it before deciding whether to open it."
After saying that, Su Yi turned around and left.
He came quietly, said a few words, and then drifted away.
This made Dong Guofeng stunned.
Until Su Yi's figure disappeared into the night, he lowered his head and looked at the bronze box. Thinking of the scenes he experienced in that mysterious pawn shop, he couldn't help but feel confused.
Who is this Su Yi?
Why does he know so much about the origin of that mysterious pawn shop?
…
That dilapidated Taoist temple abandoned in the wilderness.
When Su Yi returned, it was already dawn.
Seeing that Su Yi was safe and sound, Wen Xinzhao and others were secretly relieved.
"Brother Su, was there something wrong with the bell before?"
Wen Xinzhao couldn't help but ask.
"It's just a small matter. Let's go to Jiuding City."
Su Yidao.
…
February 18th.
Jiuding City, Tianmang Mountain.
A pavilion built on the cliff beside the sea of clouds.
"Lord, since Su Yi killed Chu Yunke and others from Yunyin Sword Mountain on February 15th in the Linglong Ghost Realm, the seven ancient forces have been in contact with each other and are most likely planning to deal with Su Yi.
."
Reported by Weng Jiu.
"It's normal. They regard Su Yi as the target of death. After learning about Su Yi's appearance, they could not be indifferent."
Emperor Xia, who was wearing a cloth robe, whispered.
He held a message shaped like a waning moon in his hand, and his eyes were a little subtle and complicated.
Weng Jiu did not notice this scene and continued to report: "My lord, last time the seven ancient giants spoke together and issued an ultimatum to us, asking us to make a decision before the first day of April. Now, it is not until the beginning of April.
There is only one month left."
Emperor Xia frowned.
The seven ancient giants had ordered the Daxia royal family to give up Jiuding City and Tianmang Mountain before the first day of April.
Otherwise, troops will come to the city and join forces to attack!
This incident has been spread all over the Great Xiaxia for a long time, causing people in Jiuding City to panic.
It also made the situation of the Daxia royal family become precarious.
"Don't worry, there's still some time until the first day of April, so there's no need to panic."
After a moment of silence, Emperor Xia took a deep breath and said, "As long as fellow Daoist Su is here and can help us repair the Jiuding Suppression Formation, even if they join forces to invade, they can be kept out of Jiuding City!"
Weng Jiu hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if Fellow Daoist Su comes to Jiuding City, the seven ancient giants who regard Fellow Daoist Su as a thorn in their side may use this as an excuse to come and cause trouble! If so, something bad will happen.
Already..."
Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, a waiter hurriedly came over and handed over a secret letter, saying: "Your Majesty, this is a letter from the demon clan Huan."
Emperor Xia took the secret letter and opened it. He saw that the letter only said:
"If the Daxia clan gives protection to Su Yi's son again this time, the Huan family, together with Tianji Daomen, Fenyang Sect, Jingkong Zen Sect, Yunyin Sword Mountain, and Dongguo clan, will regard the Daxia clan as the enemy!"
Signed: Huan Tiandu.
Emperor Xia's expression was uncertain.
Worried about something happening, it happens!
"Why is there no Yin Sha Ming Palace?"
Emperor Xia suddenly noticed something was wrong.
The waiter shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
Emperor Xia looked at the letter in his hand and said thoughtfully, "It seems that only the six ancient giants are firm on this matter."
Huan Tiandu, a great monk in the spiritual wheel realm among the Huan clan of the demon clan!
No one would dare to fake his letters.
"Lord, the situation is getting worse and worse."
Weng Jiu was worried.
Emperor Xia folded the letter and said calmly: "Do you think, without the reason of Fellow Daoist Su, those ancient forces would not be our enemies?"
Weng Jiu said without hesitation: "No."
"now it's right."
Xia Huang said, "No matter how serious the situation is, we will never give up on Fellow Daoist Su!"
He seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Of course, the preparations that need to be made will naturally be made."
After that, he strode away.
Weng Jiu seemed to have guessed something, and his expression suddenly changed.
For a long time, he sighed and remained silent.
Qingyun courtyard.
When Su Yi was in Jiuding City, he stayed here for a while.
What he didn't know was that this small courtyard with a quiet and elegant environment originally had another owner.
It was midday and the sky was bright.
In the early spring, Qingyun Courtyard is full of lush vegetation and rippling lake water, creating a vibrant spring scene.
In the courtyard.
A woman with outstanding appearance and graceful figure was sitting casually on a bamboo chair beside the flowers.
Her hair is jet black and she looks like she is in her early twenties. Her brows are moving, but there is a hint of age and maturity, which adds a graceful charm to her.
When he walked into the courtyard and saw this woman, Emperor Xia's expression suddenly became complicated.
The woman's name is Pu Surong, and the mother of his daughter Xia Qingyuan was also his wife.
Likewise, she is also a woman whose origins are like a mystery.
Shortly after Xia Qingyuan was born, Pu Surong left a piece of letter and left quietly, then disappeared.
Over the years, whenever he thought of this woman, Emperor Xia felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, including sadness, anger, helplessness, bitterness...all of them.
And now, she is back again.
However, it was not to reunite with him, but to take his daughter Xia Qingyuan and leave Cangqing Continent!
"Have you thought it through?"
Seeing Emperor Xia, Pu Surong, who was sitting in a bamboo chair, smiled and spoke.
However, he seemed to be smiling, but his expression was calm and his eyes looked distant, as if he was talking to a stranger.
Emperor Xia calmed down his mind, his expression became calm, and said: "Your request is too excessive, and I will never agree to it."
Pu Surong frowned slightly and said: "I know that you are reluctant to let go of your daughter, but don't forget that the Daxia royal family behind you is now surrounded by dangers and may be destroyed at any time."
Speaking of this, she said seriously: "But as long as you agree to let your daughter and me leave, in return, I can help you and the Daxia royal family behind you resolve this crisis!"
Emperor Xia said expressionlessly: "I said, there is no possibility of discussion on this matter."
Pu Surong was obviously unhappy and said: "Then what are you going to do here today? Reminisce about the past? Try to restore the relationship between you and me? I don't have the leisure and time, so I advise you to give up."
Those cold words fell into Emperor Xia's ears, but every word was like a sword, piercing his heart with severe pain, and his chest was so tight that it was about to explode.
After a while, he took a deep breath and said expressionlessly: "You are overthinking. I am just here to tell you that I have a distinguished guest coming soon. He is a nostalgic person and will stay in this Qingyun Courtyard."
He raised his head and looked at Pu Surong, "So, please move."
"Are you... trying to drive me away?"
Pu Surong's delicate body suddenly sat up straight, as if she couldn't believe it.
