Chapter 35 Situ Xingluan

Sikong Cuo sat on a large wooden box, lit a paper tobacco, held it between two fingers, but did not put it in his mouth, just let it burn slowly, and the smoke rose.

In this way, the tobacco did not look like tobacco, but more like a stick of incense.

A subordinate walked in.

Sikong Cuo's face was hidden behind the smoke, blurry: "Have you found out?"

"I have found out." The subordinate replied, "It was the spiritual officer of the Taoist Tiangang Hall who arrested people. The person arrested was a local snake. It should have nothing to do with us."

"It's good that it has nothing to do with us." Sikong Cuo nodded, "Tiangang Hall is an old acquaintance, be careful, don't let them notice."

The subordinate nodded in response.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

The subordinate did not frown, walked straight over, and looked out through the small hole in the door.

A man in a cloak stood outside the door, with a hood on the cloak that completely blocked his face. It's almost June, and as the saying goes, June is hot. Wearing such a cloak in such hot weather is really weird.

The subordinate whispered through the door: "The underworld is lawless, but the netherworld is orderly."

"The netherworld lock is coming, and the living soul can't escape." The person outside answered.

The secret code matched, and the subordinate opened the door and let him in.

The man lifted the hood of the cloak, revealing a young face with a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets. He should have some Western blood. .

"I am Situ Xingluan." The man grinned, his smile was very bright, and a little naive, like a big boy.

The subordinate of Sikong Cuo was called Wu Mai. He had never seen Situ Xingluan. He only knew that this person had been dormant in Jinling Prefecture for a long time and was a veritable local snake. However, his first impression of Situ Xingluan was not good. His appearance was fine, after all, there were many people of color in Jinling Prefecture. His appearance was not shocking, but it was still a little eye-catching. He was dressed like this in the hot summer, which made him even more dissatisfied.

Wu Mai said with a vigilant face: "Where is the thing?"

Situ Xingluan reached behind his waist and wiped it. Wu Mai's whole body tensed up instantly, and he subconsciously pulled out a scimitar, with a cold blue light flashing on the blade.

"Don't be nervous, I won't eat you." Situ Xingluan still had a nonchalant smile on his face. He took out a bamboo tube-like object from his waist and then rotated it like a windmill.

Wu Mai's eyelids jumped. If this was what they needed, it would be more precious than their lives, but it was used as a toy by this kid. How could it be tolerated?

Wu Mai's face was gloomy, and he was about to explode, but Sikong Cuo finally spoke: "Come in and talk."

Situ Xingluan didn't wait for Wu Mai to agree, and walked around him and walked into the yard. When he saw the wooden boxes all over the yard, his eyes lit up.

"Is this the 'gift'?" Situ Xingluan walked to a large wooden box and patted it with his hand.

Sikong Cuo responded: "Yes, this is the 'gift'. It was shipped by sea. There were no twists and turns. It has been cleaned up."

"Too clean is not necessarily a good thing. You killed people, but those people still have relatives and friends. It's not strange to disappear for one day, but it's strange to disappear for two or three days. Their relatives and friends will look for them everywhere. Even if they are not found alive or dead, it will still attract the attention of Qingluan Guards or Taoist sects, so this matter can't be concealed for long." Situ Xingluan said naggingly.

Sikong Cuo frowned slightly, but did not deny this statement.

Situ Xingluan continued, "It's not enough to just have 'grace'. The key is to have 'blessing'. The two must be combined to play the greatest role."

Sikong Cuo's eyes fell on the bamboo tube in Situ Xingluan's hand: "Is this 'blessing'?"

"Yeah." Situ Xingluan responded with a nasal sound and stuffed the bamboo tube into Sikong Cuo's hand.

Sikong Cuo was stunned for a moment, and then began to carefully look at the bamboo tube in his hand.

Obviously, this bamboo tube is just a cover, and it can be regarded as a container. The key is what's inside.

At this time, the test between Sikong Cuo's two fingers finally burned out, leaving only a little ash.

Situ Xingluan took out a handful of tobacco leaves from his arms, put them in his mouth, and chewed them directly.

Sikong Cuo first looked at the mark on the bamboo tube, and after confirming that it had not been opened, a smile appeared on his face, and then he pulled out a special dagger from his waist and carefully opened the seal on the bamboo tube.

Situ Xingluan chewed the tobacco leaves in his mouth and said seriously in a Western chanting tone: "The Lord has bestowed grace and benefited the people. The Lord blesses believers and transforms all things."

For some reason, Sikong Cuo heard a bit of teasing in Situ Xingluan's tone, which made him very dissatisfied, but considering this person's identity, he did not get angry.

On the contrary, Situ Xingluan himself couldn't hold it back: "If you ask me, it's just a trick. To put it bluntly, it's just a lead. Without this lead, many things can't be done."

Sikong Cuo suppressed his dissatisfaction and remained silent, focusing all his attention on the bamboo tube in his hand.

Without the seal, the bamboo tube is just an ordinary bamboo tube. Sikong Cuo just used a little force to split the bamboo tube vertically in half.

The things in the bamboo tube finally revealed their true appearance. They were somewhat similar to the knife coins in ancient times, and they looked like a crescent moon. They were all green and half transparent, with many fine blood threads inside.

"This is..." Sikong Cuo held the strange jade disc carefully, with a hint of fanaticism on his face.

Situ Xing spat out the remaining tobacco leaves in his mouth, then took out a small folding fan from his sleeve, unfolded it with a "pop" sound, and started to fan: "You haven't seen it before? You haven't used it before? You haven't seen it before?"

"You!" Wu Mai was about to have another attack, but Sikong Cuo raised his hand to stop him, and then heard Sikong Cuo say: "Please give me some advice."

Situ Xing did not hide it in confusion: "According to the Taoist sect, this thing is called 'Xuanyu', and the meaning is easy to understand. Mysterious and mysterious, the Taoist sect calls itself Xuanmen, and the current imperial court is also called Daxuan." , As for jade, not to mention, this thing is made of jade. "

The veins on Wu Mai's forehead jumped.

To call "blessing" "this thing" is undoubtedly a huge blasphemy. If this person wasn't crucial in the next plan, he wouldn't mind making this person into a "collection" with his own hands.

Situ Xinglan seemed to have noticed Wu Mai's thoughts, and pointed out: "I advise you not to use your mind. In terms of status, I am above you. Even this brother Sikong is only on the same level as me. You can’t tell me what to do. As for taking action, I can kill you with one hand, do you believe it?”

Wu Mai was furious and his face was red. He was about to take action when he heard Sikong Cuo say loudly: "That's enough."

Neither of them spoke anymore.

Wu Mai gasped, obviously very angry. Situ Xinglan still looked indifferent, waving his fan and looking up at the sky.

Sikong Cuo asked again: "How to use 'Xuanyu'?"

Situ Xing folded the folding fan in a haphazard manner, inserted it in his back collar, and said: "'Xuan Jade' has many uses. It is said that some people use it to improve their cultivation. It has to be said that it is a waste of natural resources. The key to 'Xuan Jade' is that it can carry divine power." , this piece of 'Xuan Jade' has been activated by the Lord, as long as we put it together with the prepared 'gift', then we can see..."

Situ Xing made a flowering gesture with his hands: "A beautiful flower."

There was a smile on Sikong Cuo's face again, and he repeated softly: "A beautiful flower shines on the world."

Situ Xingran took out another handful of tobacco leaves and put it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "If you want to bloom, you must first sow the seeds and then water them. The 'gifts' are the seeds. Let your people quickly collect all the 'gifts' here." Put it in the predetermined location and then water it yourself.”

Sikong Cuo asked subconsciously: "What are you doing?"

Situ Xingran asked: "What is the purpose of blooming?"

Sikong Cuo didn't know how to answer for a while.

Situ Xinglan asked and answered: "Blooming is for bearing fruit."

"You are responsible for watering, and I am responsible for picking fruits. Do you understand?" Situ Xing looked at Sikong Cuo.

Although somewhat reluctant, Sikong Cuo nodded.

Situ Xing clapped his hands randomly: "Very good."

Sikong Cuo finally asked: "When will we do it?"

Situ Xingluan said calmly: "This does not depend on us, but on the Taoist sect."
