Chapter 86 Lu Zhanyuan’s visit
"Just leave the matter of Bai Hu and Gu Dao to me. If you intervene rashly, it will only make the situation between them more tense."
Jing Zhongqiu was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that the Qinglong Beast God would think twice before making a decision, but he didn't expect to agree so quickly. Because the task was completed too quickly, the old man didn't know if it was time to leave.
But then Qinglong interrupted his thoughts.
"Besides, I have something I want you to do."
Jing Zhongqiu was a little surprised. In his memory, the Qinglong Beast God mostly did things himself and rarely left things to the people in the Holy Land of Beasts.
"Please tell me, Azure Dragon Beast God, we will do our best to do it."
The young man in the long coat saw that the other party seemed to be overreacting, so he laughed, brought the atmosphere back to normal, and replied:
"Don't be so nervous, it's not a big deal."
After hearing this, Jing Zhongqiu's face turned red at first, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the Azure Dragon Beast God had some big plan for him to do.
"Then I dare to ask Qinglong-senpai what is going on?"
"In the future, someone from the Zhenwu Dao Palace may come to visit the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beasts. He may bring some conditions or benefits to you so that you can agree to exchange for the Xizhou Sword in the hands of the ancient Dao." The young man in a long coat slowly replied.
"Oh?" Jing Zhongqiu was a little surprised. Although he knew that the Xizhou Sword was an ancient divine sword, it was not something that the Zhenwu Dao Palace would covet.
"You don't need to ask more about the reason for this. In short, just reject them. In addition, send someone to tell Baihu, Xuanwu and Suzaku that they will gather at Wangpo Palace in five days."
"Yes." Then, Jing Zhongqiu left here with the "mission", but on the way back, he became more and more confused. He was curious about why the Azure Dragon Beast God could predict everything, as if he could predict the future. However, he was very relieved to have such a wise man in the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beasts. It was precisely because of the presence of Qinglong that their Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts could have nothing to worry about. between
…
A few days later, as expected, a person from the Zhenwu Dao Palace came to the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beasts, but the person who came was a little beyond their expectations.
"Lu Zhanyuan?!"
Jing Zhongqiu was the most surprised. He didn't expect that the Zhenwu Dao Temple valued this sword so much that it would ask this old guy to come in person.
Compared to the other party's surprise, the boy in Taoist robe acted very naturally.
"Hey, everyone is here." This opening sentence is in line with Lu Zhanyuan's temperament.
Jing Zhongqiu was the first to take over the topic. He pretended not to know and asked, "Haha, I don't know why Elder Lu is here."
However, Lu Zhanyuan waved his hand and replied: "Nothing, I just came to catch up with you and get acquainted with each other." As he spoke, he took off the gourd from his waist and drank wine.
The four old men looked at each other. They naturally knew that the other party was coming for the Xizhou Sword, but they couldn't tell if the other party didn't speak. So, the four of them stared at each other in the main hall.
Lu Zhanyuan chuckled, as if he really had no purpose in coming here.
Now it was Jing Zhongqiu's turn to be in a dilemma. If the other party didn't ask, he wouldn't be able to complete the task assigned to him by the Qinglong Beast God. But when he saw that Elder Lu didn't seem to want to speak, he sighed, I can only ask first:
"Elder Lu is here for the Xizhou Sword?"
After hearing this, the boy in Taoist robes calmly put away the wine gourd. He glanced at everyone present, and then said slowly:
"It turns out that some of you have known about it for a long time."
Now that the words had been spoken, Jing Zhongqiu no longer needed to hide them, so he asked directly: "Haha, this Xizhou Sword is our ancient divine sword from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts. If Elder Lu wants to take it, As for the sword, I wonder what kind of bargaining chip I can get in exchange for it?”
Lu Zhanyuan smiled at this and said, "Nothing."
Jing Zhongqiu's eyes narrowed and his tone was slightly colder, he said:
"The Taoist Master is trying to make a fool of himself with nothing."
"Fellow Daoist Jing's words are wrong," the Taoist-robed boy continued: "The Xizhou Sword is the divine weapon of the ancient path. As far as I know, the beast god of the ancient path has not yet joined the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beasts. No matter what it takes, If there is such a bargaining chip, then we should discuss it with Gudao."
Jing Zhongqiu was speechless for a moment after hearing this. It seemed that it was indeed true, but after thinking about it, he realized that he seemed to have fallen into the trap of the other party.
"Isn't that right? The Xizhou Sword is not the magic weapon of the Beast God Ancient Path, but belongs to her master. It is just in the hands of the ancient path for now. Speaking of which, the master of the ancient path was born in Shituo Ridge, and Shituo Ridge is our territory, so the Xizhou Sword should naturally belong to our Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beasts." Introduction
Lu Zhanyuan chuckled and said, "As expected of me, I am the contractor of the beast god Qinglong, but no matter what price I can pay, you won't agree."
Jing Zhongqiu was just a little proud, but then he was crushed by the other person's last words.
"As expected of the Great Elder of the Zhenwu Dao Hall, I am afraid that no one in the world can match his ingenuity." The jade old man was thinking secretly in his heart.
"Since Elder Lu knows, why are you still here?" the old man wearing black jade at his waist asked.
The boy in Taoist robes took out the empty wine gourd and said to the four people in front of him: "I told you, I'm just here to reminisce (to refill the wine)."
How could Jing Zhongqiu still have the time to play "charades" with the other party at this time? He quickly said:
"Elder Lu, don't be joking. We old guys are not familiar with you that well. And with your strength, even if you want to reminisce about the past, it should be with the beast god Qinglong."
Lu Zhanyuan laughed and said, "The old Taoist came here just to reminisce with fellow Taoist Qinglong. As for why he came to the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beasts, of course it was to deal with fellow Taoist Qinglong's plan and go through the process."
The four old men couldn't hide their shock after hearing this. It was really terrifying that the great elder of Zhenwu Dao Hall could even calculate this.
"Now that I've said hello, the old Taoist won't stay any longer. I believe fellow Taoist Qinglong is waiting impatiently at Wangpo Palace."
After saying that, Lu Zhanyuan's figure flashed and turned into dust and smoke, disappearing in the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beasts.
As the boy in Taoist robes left, the four old men suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that the other's aura was so powerful, but that omniscient and omniscient attitude that made them feel like light in each other's eyes. The same as the body, there is no secret at all.
"Such a person is too scary." The black jade old man took a deep breath and tried to suppress the fear in his heart.
The other three old men fell into silence. They somewhat understood why the Jiejie Church was so completely defeated in the dispute over the interpretation. between
