The patriarch was a little nervous along the way. He didn't know what Murong Xi's plans were, and he didn't know how to deal with it after he left. He had made many assumptions, but he didn't know what Murong Xi was thinking. Could it be that Murong Xi agreed to his proposal yesterday?
No? No, even if he agrees, he can't do this. The purpose of what he said yesterday was not to test it personally. Murong Xi is so cunning, he will use his own blood anyway, right?
Just when he couldn't figure it out, he had already entered the front hall. He said respectfully: "I have met the witch master and the saint."
"Sit down and talk. It's like this. I thought about what you said yesterday. Well, I admit that what you said is right and makes sense. I didn't think carefully about it before. I hope you won't take it to heart." Murong
Xi said slowly.
If Murong Xi loses his temper, the clan leader may be able to bear it, but hearing Murong Xi say such words in a soft voice is like pricking needles in his body. He always feels that Murong Xi's words are like chronic poison,
One sentence could give people a fatal feeling. He didn't know why he had such resistance to a little girl, but he really felt that this little girl was very dangerous.
He wanted to stay away from Murong Xi.
"I don't know what I said yesterday, but you must not take it to heart." The patriarch said.
"What you said makes sense, so I invited you here today just to hide the treasure map." After Murong Xi finished speaking, he pointed at the table.
The patriarch followed the direction Murong Xi pointed and saw the treasure map from yesterday on the table. His heart skipped a beat, knowing that Murong Xi might be planning to let him do it.
He thought that Murong Xi would not trust him and would not agree to do this. However, he never expected that Murong Xi would change his mind just one day later. What happened to make Murong Xi make this decision?
Could she see that this was her own conspiracy?
Murong Xi saw that the patriarch was hesitant and did not answer his words, so he asked: "Clan leader, what's going on? I was very excited when I saw the treasure map yesterday, why are you still stunned today?"
"Ah? I didn't understand what the saint meant for a while. Didn't I already see the treasure map yesterday? I'm not sure whether the treasure map is real, which is a pity." The patriarch smiled awkwardly and said.
"So, I was apologizing to you just now. I will do what you want today." Murong Xi said with a smile.
"Tao, apologize? How dare you ask the saint to apologize to me? In fact, the subordinates were too reckless. The subordinates thought of things too simply and couldn't just believe that person's words." The patriarch was frightened and hurriedly explained.
Murong Xi's words made him a little surprised, and more importantly, he was really scared. Because Murong Xi must have hoped to use blood to test whether the map was real, but he had no intention of doing so. The only result would be to be poisoned.
Death, there is no room left at all.
"I don't think so. I think your idea is right. I thought too much yesterday, so I wasted time." Murong Xi continued.
"No, the saint is right. The treasure map is extremely precious, so you need to be more cautious." The patriarch said in a low voice.
Murong Xi pursed her lips and smiled, then said: "Well, after thinking about it last night, I think your idea is feasible. Shouldn't I just invite you over?"
Although Murong Xi's smile was beautiful, the clan leader was unwilling to look at it again. Because every time he saw Murong Xi's gentle smile, it felt like he was being killed.
"Thank you for the saint's trust. I have thought about it carefully and found that this method is still a bit unstable. If it fails, wouldn't the treasure map be destroyed? Therefore, I think it is better to think of a good way to get the best of both worlds." The patriarch.
He spoke carefully.
"Oh? Then tell me how to get the best of both worlds?" Murong Xi asked.
"My subordinates have nothing to do for the time being, and we cannot believe what the Taoist Master said. Although he originally said that if the treasure map appeared, he would appear. However, now that the treasure map appears, he has not appeared, but he cannot be sure.
The treasure map is fake. We can't blindly smear the treasure map, so it's better not to worry." The clan leader tried his best to persuade Murong Xi to give up this method.
Murong Xi smiled and said: "You are right, but I have already made a decision and feel that the patriarch is really suitable. I also want to know whether this treasure map is real. You'd better take action quickly.
."
The patriarch picked up the knife on the table. When he stretched out his index finger and was about to take action, he still hesitated. When he didn't know what to do, he suddenly remembered the poison on his body.
He put down the knife and said: "Holy girl, witch master, my subordinates have been poisoned and cannot do this. It is unforgivable to pollute the treasure map."
Murong Xi didn't expect the clan leader to react so quickly. He smiled and said, "That's all, I'll talk about it after I get rid of the poison for you."
"The saint wants to remove the poison for her subordinates now?" the patriarch asked.
The patriarch was not excited at all when he heard that the saint was going to remove the poison from him. He even resisted. Of course he wanted to remove the poison from him, but he did not want the saint to remove the poison from him. He was worried that the saint would do it to him while removing the poison.
So, when he heard that Murong Xi was going to remove the poison for him, he hesitated.
"Huh? Judging from the tone, the clan leader seems a little unhappy?" Murong Xi asked.
"No, no, I thought they wouldn't be able to remove the poison for me so quickly. Besides, the Saint is in some inconvenience now. In fact, my subordinates are also very familiar with the poison. How about I remove the poison myself?
?" the patriarch said respectfully.
He hoped that the saint could promise him. After all, pregnant people would not easily remove the poison. Moreover, she was with her husband, so how could she tolerate someone trying to remove the poison at this time?
"Oh? I forgot that the patriarch's poison refining skills are also very good, but Fengtian Sect also has the rules of Fengtian Sect, so let's leave this matter as it is for now. If you are poisoned, I won't embarrass you. Then
Go back to the side hall first. If anything happens, I will invite you here again." Murong Xi's face was terrifyingly cold.
The patriarch didn't know why Murong Xi suddenly changed his face. When he left, he heard Murong Xi's voice coming from the hall.
"It seems that he doesn't know the secret of the treasure map, so let's send him back to the darkroom." Murong Xi said patiently.
"What if he knows, and you also know that he is the only person who comes into contact with that person. What if the blood prick is true?" Ji Limo said.
"I gave him a chance, but you saw that he refused. He just wanted to use this matter to threaten us. I'll forget it. It's better to burn the treasure map." Murong Xi said.
After the clan leader heard this, he couldn't hear clearly what was said next. Then, he followed the man in black back to the side hall.
Murong Xi's voice came from the front hall: "Is he gone?"
"Well, do you think he will forget it?" Ji Limo asked.
"If he knew that he was going to be sent back, what do you think he would want to do most now?" Murong Xi asked.
"Removing the poison?" Ji Limo asked.
Murong Xi shook his head and said: "He should have some understanding of the poison in his body, so he shouldn't be in such a hurry. What he wants to do most is to enter the ancient tomb as soon as possible. Although there is no treasure map,
He should know about the prescription for immortality. Therefore, he wants to get the prescription first and the treasure map, so he may plan to take his time."
"But... the ancient tomb has been sealed, how can he get in?" Ji Limo asked in confusion.
"When he sees that the ancient tomb is sealed, he will definitely find a way to get close to us, and then enter the secret cave together." Murong Xi analyzed.
"He doesn't want his life?" Feng Mingye asked doubtfully.
"He wanted to go in and get the prescription for immortality. How could he not want to die? He must have been lying before, because he must know where the entrance to the tree cave and the entrance to the mountain are. But he knew that the ancient tomb was divided into several floors, and he did not hide it.
Treasure map, if you want to enter the main tomb chamber more accurately, you can only enter through the secret cave." Murong Xi said.
In the past few days, Murong Xi studied the treasure map. Of course, what interested her was not the treasure, but the lines on the map. The lines on the map were very complicated. Through A Lan's explanation, she learned about the map.
The criss-crossing lines on the route are actually just divided into several levels.
After figuring it out, she knew that the clan leader was lying. Without a map, no one would be able to get out of the ancient tomb. As A Lan said, the ancient tomb is like a big maze, and everything inside is criss-crossed.
The mechanism. If you accidentally touch the mechanism, the environment inside will change accordingly.
The clan leader didn't want to waste time, so he took the risk to enter through the secret cave. This didn't mean that he didn't know where the entrance to the tree cave and the entrance to the mountain were. He just didn't tell the truth to Murong Xi.
"Is it really worth it to get that prescription for immortality? The picture of myself on that prescription is a little blurry. Even if the handwriting is clear, can I be sure that I can live forever?" Ji Limo asked in confusion.
"You're asking me a question. I'm not the clan leader, so I don't know what he's thinking. But I can be sure that he won't be able to sit still." Murong Xi said.
"Judging from his performance today, he should know what's wrong with the treasure map, otherwise why wouldn't he dare to test it?" Ji Limo said.
"There is a poison on the treasure map. If you really do this, the person who paid the blood will be poisoned. The clan leader is aware of this, so he dare not act." Murong Xi said.
"Why didn't I notice it?" Ji Limo asked in surprise.
"Do you still remember the treasure chest in the treasure map? The red color is not a problem with the drawing, but the poison used. Like you, I didn't notice it at first. Later, after the treasure map was separated, I found that there was something in the treasure chest.
Still left a faint aroma. And this aroma has nothing to do with the previous medicine, but the aroma of a poison. And this kind of poison is not ordinary. Only after dripping blood on the treasure map, the poison can
There will be a reaction. I'm just a little surprised that the clan leader knows too much." Murong Xi said.
"If he is really a Taoist priest, then there is nothing surprising. No wonder he is so scared. It turns out he knows how powerful the Gu insect is." Feng Mingye said.
"In that case, why did he propose to do this? What is his purpose?" Ji Limo asked with some confusion.
"The reason for doing this is not only to confirm whether the treasure map is true or false, but also to find out what secrets should be on it. Therefore, he plans to sacrifice others to fulfill himself." Murong Xi thought for a while and said.
