Fang Canran said solemnly, "Only when we have the basis of not hurting each other can we continue to talk in depth. And -"
He paused for a moment: "It is not easy to maintain such an ancient treasure. If you use it early, you can reduce the burden early."
This guy was still afraid that he would go to Tiangong to report, so he wanted to provide this kind of insurance for both parties! He Lingchuan stared at him for a long time: "With such a good thing, why did you deal with me just now?"
Fang Canran laughed and couldn't explain it.
Taking a few steps back, even if the two were friends rather than enemies, he still had to find out the strength of the other party.
This determines how the two parties will get along later.
Dragons make friends with dragons, phoenixes make friends with phoenixes, mice make friends with each other. People of whatever level make friends of that level.
Even if they are our own people, they must be divided into upper, middle and lower classes.
He Lingchuan also stabbed him, and then agreed: "Okay, sign the contract!"
Even though he had just obtained his verbal guarantee and took the lead in untying Fang Canran, the general manager was still worried. It was all based on a conscious promise. How could an oath under the gaze of the inner demon be as safe?
Obviously he knows very well that human words are the most untrustworthy.
Fang Canran grabbed one of the handcuffs and put it on himself first with a click.
He Lingchuan grabbed the other one and put it on.
Then both of them recited their oaths, and the shackles began to glow red, with runes floating on the surface, flying up and down.
After reciting, the chain slowly disappeared, and the shackles on both men's hands turned into ordinary silver bracelets, which were worn on their wrists.
"That's good." Fang Canran's expression relaxed obviously, "From now on, we can't break our oath, otherwise we will end up miserable."
The oath did not mention that the two of them must be honest with each other.
Because no one wants to do this. They all have too many secrets.
Let's leave some room for each other.
He made tea and served it to He Lingchuan: "Why do you say that Shao Jian is related to Emperor Liujian?"
He Lingchuan dipped his hands in water and quickly wrote something on the table.
When Fang Canran looked at it, his pupils shrank suddenly, and He Lingchuan also noticed that the veins on his forehead jumped sharply.
This word, of course, is——
punishment.
The "punishment" of Xing Long Zhu.
The next second He Lingchuan wiped it off, picked up the cup and took a sip:
"Did I write it correctly?"
After the oath chain took effect, the two of them could not hurt each other, and he no longer worried about Fang Canran poisoning the water.
The expression on Fang Canran's face changed, and the look in his eyes could not hide the shock: "You...?"
The person named He actually knows this!
This kind of detail, this kind of...
Of course, no one in Lingxu City knew about this matter, otherwise Fang Canran would not be alive.
He did not expect that the secret that his family had carefully kept for more than a hundred years would suddenly be revealed by a stranger.
A stranger of unknown origin.
It's like if the roof of a sturdy old house that has been lived in for more than a hundred years suddenly collapses, it doesn't feel good.
If He Lingchuan hadn't bound him to a chain of oaths, and the two parties couldn't hurt each other, he would have killed and silenced him no matter what.
Regarding the secret of the Dragon Punishment Pillar, for more than a hundred years, except for a few high-level officials, anyone who touches it will die!
"You also learned this secret from the vision of that ancient city?"
He Lingchuan nodded.
Fang Canran's eyes were deep: "Then did you see who gave these things to Shao Jian?"
"Of course." He Lingchuan said the name silently——
"Mitian."
These two characters are not difficult to distinguish by looking at the shape of the mouth.
Fang Canran slowly leaned back on the backrest and exhaled a long breath: "Sure enough."
"you do not know?"
"Shao Jian has always been very secretive and has never mentioned the origin of these things to anyone. But I infer that they also come from this ancient god."
After the oath chain came into effect, both parties spoke much more frankly, no longer beating around the bush or denying desperately.
Fang Canran stared at He Lingchuan: "Is the ancient city you mentioned... Panlong City?"
"Do you know Panlong City?"
"How could you not know?" Fang Canran smiled, "Shao Jian always goes there. Besides, I have also checked the history of this city. The reason for the final destruction of Panlong City was the same as that of Yuan Kingdom."
He sighed softly: "Mr. He, are you really here just for the elixir case in Lingxu City?"
He cared about this very much and asked the question several times.
"I have admired the name of Lingxu City for a long time, and wanted to come here to broaden my horizons and fulfill my friend's request. As for the case of the immortal medicine, at first it was just a simple case of the missing messenger. When I was entrusted by Prince Yue, I didn't know that it had anything to do with Lingxu.
The city's dignitaries are hooking up." He Lingchuan told the truth, "The water here is too deep, alas. Later, Bai Dushi asked me to go to Lingxu City to assist in the investigation."
"There should be many opportunities to escape in the middle, right?" Fang Canran drank tea, "Eggs touch rocks. Most people don't do such a thankless thing."
"Someone has to do it." He Lingchuan stared at him and said word by word, "Everyone cares about small profits, and there will be no great justice in the world."
"What is the friend's request?" Fang Canran focused on the key point. So handling the case is just a side trip, is it the key to fulfill the friend's request?
He Lingchuan smiled and said, "Just come over and help it do something."
"What's up?"
He Lingchuan looked at him for a long time and asked instead: "Given Mr. Fang's life background, it is not a good idea to go anywhere, so why do you stay in Lingxu City?"
Fang Canran is a descendant of Shao Jian. If this identity is discovered, the gods will teach him to die badly. Therefore, staying in Lingxu City actually bears a huge risk.
Fang Canran didn't answer.
Both of them fell silent.
The friendship is still shallow and cannot be described as deep.
After a while, Fang Canran changed the subject: "So after these things are over, where will you go?"
"Of course I'm going to run away."
"Oh?" Fang Canran asked curiously, "So many famous families are beckoning, but you are not attracted by any of them?"
"Lingxu City doesn't suit me. It's prosperous on the surface but very dangerous in reality. It's not a place where I'll live for a long time." He Lingchuan carries the secret of the big square pot and doesn't want to stay under the eyes of the gods for a long time. "Besides, I've offended too many noble people, so I won't be able to live there for a long time."
Staying here is an eyesore to them."
He asked again: "By the way, I really want to know what happened to Mr. Shao Jianshao in the end."
Fang Canran was stunned.
"I also want to know why you have been wearing this signet ring. It is made of ordinary material, with only two points of fine iron added, and it does not even have a storage function. Grand Master Dunyuan, there are better treasure rings to wear, right?
"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fang Canran looked at the signet ring: "It's something handed down from our ancestors, the material is not important."
"What is important?" He Lingchuan asked him, "Is it a legacy?"
Fang Canran was silent for a while, and finally said: "Mr. Shao disbanded the Hongluo Chamber of Commerce when he was fifty-seven years old; three years later, he ran away after his sixtieth birthday, leaving no trace of his whereabouts; and after another
Three years ago, a bird demon flew to report that he was kidnapped, beheaded, skinned and stuffed with grass. He was accused of blasphemy against the gods. However, he took poison and committed suicide after being arrested, so his descendants were not harmed."
He Lingchuan closed his eyes and sighed uncontrollably.
The earthen pot will inevitably be broken at the edge of the well, and Shao Jian did seek kindness and gain kindness in the end.
Although He Lingchuan had already anticipated this outcome, and even though Shao Jian had passed away more than a hundred years ago, his heart was still heavy when he heard what Fang Canran said.
