Chapter 369: Master’s Wife’s Voice
Outside the secret realm.
Master Olympus pinched his fingers, raised the corners of his lips, and murmured to himself:
"It seems solved."
He felt Yu Su tearing up the communication talisman, and he also felt the secret realm dissipate.
I saw Venerable Oshu standing like a peak, with his right hand raised slightly, as if he was carrying a huge weight, yet he seemed to be able to do so with ease. In his palm, suddenly, a wheel composed of countless complicated and mysterious intertwined lines slowly emerged, with a faint light flowing on it, like the trajectory of stars, revealing an indescribable power.
The roulette wheel rotates gently, and each rotation is accompanied by a low and long hum, as if the gears are really rotating. However, a hole was silently cut out of the snow valley iceberg in front of him, and its edges were as smooth as a mirror, without any flaws.
The city lord and the boss of Xuexiangju were dumbfounded. Master Olympus's precise control of power made people kneel in admiration.
In this shocking scene, You Su's figure slowly walked out of the cave, half of his face still hidden under the slightly wide collar, his eyes lowered, calm and composed, as if he had just returned from a Returning from a leisurely stroll, I was completely unaware of the wonder and surprise around me. His steps were light, and every step he took stepped on the snow but was solid, showing the lightness and calmness of the clouds.
The city lord and Xuexiangju boss outside the cave witnessed this scene, their faces filled with unbelievable shock. Their eyes wandered back and forth between You Su and Master Oshu, and their hearts were filled with turmoil.
The fact that You Su was able to walk out of the dangerous snow valley and iceberg alive not only exceeded their expectations, but also gave them a deeper understanding and awe of the powerful strength of the Master of Olympus.
Has he already settled all this...
The city lord Qi Tai and the owner of Xuexiangju Li Ming, with a bit of astonishment and awe in their eyes, stared at You Su who walked out of the secret realm unscathed, and the Oshu Zun next to him who had a faint smile on his lips. who. The sun shines through the sparse clouds and shines on the two of them, adding a strange brilliance to the tense atmosphere.
They hurried forward to greet him, and the compliments in their words were like the endless drizzle in spring.
"Oh, it's true that famous teachers give birth to great disciples! Your venerable master, your disciple is like a god descending to earth. You can easily escape from that dangerous secret realm. It's really admirable!" Qitai said as he bowed his hands, with a look on his face. The smile almost overflowed, and the desire for power and the fear of Lord Olympus flashed in his eyes.
Not to be outdone, Li Ming followed closely behind, with a hint of trembling excitement in his voice: "Yes, yes, yes! The disciples of His Holiness will definitely become famous and powerful figures in all directions like His Holiness in the future!"
When Master Oshu heard this, the smile on his lips became even wider, but he did not comment. His eyes stayed on You Su for a moment, with both relief and helplessness in his eyes. Then he slowly turned to Qi Tai and Li Ming. There seemed to be hidden meanings and calculations behind those smiles.
Qitai mustered up his courage and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, it is our great honor that you come to Shuocheng to audit the accounts this time. Now that the evil evil has been eliminated, you have happily accepted our 'little thought' , I believe that I will be able to submit a satisfactory answer to Shenshan. As for the cooperation we talked about before..." He deliberately prolonged his tone and stared at the face of Master Olympus, trying to catch a trace of satisfaction.
However, Master Olympus's face suddenly darkened, and his tone was full of sarcasm:
"Oh? The evil spirit has been eliminated? Meeting gift? Cooperation? City Lord Qi, these words of yours make me confused."
Qitai's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart. He forced himself to calm down and tried to explain: "What the Lord said... you sent your disciples to kill the evil spirit. Isn't this equivalent to accepting the meeting gift from my husband? After accepting the gift, of course we are a group." That’s right... Don’t worry, Your Majesty, there will only be more gifts like this in the future.”
"What do you mean by this, is that my disciple deserves to die in this trap you set up? If I solve the evil spirit, will I receive a gift from you? Could it be that when my disciple comes out, I have to leave the evil spirit alive for you? Is this a meeting gift? It’s not up to you to show off your power.”
Lord Olympus sneered, his voice like a sharp blade in the cold wind:
"As for the so-called cooperation? You are talking to yourself. I act openly and aboveboard, how can I associate with you, the robbers and thieves?"
Qitai's face turned pale instantly. He never expected that the Master of Olympus would be so direct. He tried to save the situation, with a tremor in his voice:
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? My husband is sincere... Besides, it's just five years of tax money... My husband has promised that if you let us go this time, for five years, we only need to pay more In five years, Shuocheng will have to pay taxes for twenty years!”
But Lord Olympus had obviously lost his patience. He interrupted Qi Tai coldly: "That's just five years of tax money? Do you know how many people died of freezing and starving to death in the wind and snow with your understatement?" people's lives? Do you think I really Are you here for your money? Your city is prosperous, but why are the number of dead people in the villages and tribes around your city and even in Shuocheng increasing? If you can pay them back, can you save their lives?"
"Venerable Sir... they are just mortals... just like the snow grass, it will grow again after being planted for several years. We have been here in the bitter cold land of Bei Aozhou for so many years. Two more people will die and less will happen. If two people die, there will be no end in sight..." Li Ming was admonishing from the side, speaking from the bottom of his heart.
But who would have expected that as soon as the sincere words fell, the figure of Master Olympus suddenly became blurry, as if he melted into the air. The next moment, he appeared behind Li Ming. With a slight wave of his hand, a majestic force burst out instantly, smashing Li Ming's head into pieces. The blood was like blooming red flowers, splashing on the white snow. Li Ming's body collapsed weakly, with no life left.
All this happened so suddenly that no one even had time to scream. When they came back to their senses, Master Olympus had already retracted his hand, and the cold expression on his face seemed to have changed into another person.
"Thank you sir for the 'meeting gift' for me. This is my return gift." Master Olympus's voice was as cold as ice.
Of course, the greeting gift is not a greeting gift, but a show of authority.
Qitai looked at Li Ming's body on the ground, his heart filled with unprecedented fear and despair. He knew that there would probably be no room for recovery between Master Olympus and his husband. And he, this insignificant little flag, is destined to be inevitably caught up in it, unable to control himself.
Lord Oshu did not stop there. He slowly walked towards Qitai. Every step seemed to step on Qitai's heartstrings, making him feel more and more depressed and heavier.
"Your Excellency... I have not evaded taxes in Shuocheng. You cannot commit suicide privately..."
The trembling city lord tried to awaken the reason of Lord Oshu. No matter how strong the monk was, he could not kill local officials casually. This was one of the iron laws in the laws of the sacred mountain.
"City Lord Qi," Master Oshu returned to his warm smile, giving people a sense of harmlessness, which made Qitai feel slightly relieved.
"Your Xuexiang tea comes from this secret realm, but this secret realm was built by evil spirits. You are a monk in the Huayu Realm and came from a sacred mountain. You should know the inspection and reporting process after discovering a secret realm. But you didn't do any of it. It's clear that It's because you knew it but didn't report it. As the city leader, you took the lead. The Evil Nest seeks to sell evil fruits to the common people, and I have every reason to suspect that you are colluding with the evil spirits. From now on, your position as City Lord is invalid until Shenshan sends someone to verify it, and I will temporarily take over your position as City Lord." The Venerable smiled and patted Qitai on the shoulder.
Qitai was trembling all over, his lips were trembling, "Your Majesty, you must be serious... How would I know if this secret realm is an evil nest... At most, I just want to steal the secret realm for myself... There are many people like this, right?" Haha, sir, don’t scare Qi.”
Now that the evil spirit has been exorcised and the secret realm no longer exists, it is impossible to prove whether it is the evil tide. This is also the basis for Qitai's sophistry.
"Dabang, take out the talisman and let him understand." Lord Oshu ordered casually.
You Su stepped forward and spread out the communication talisman that Master Oshu had given to him before.
Only then did Qi Tai realize in despair that this was not a communication talisman at all, but a precious ink-retaining talisman. On the talisman paper, there was a pool of squirming black blood, which was the ironclad evidence left by the black jellyfish in the hole.
……
It's night, the city lord's mansion.
You Su was sitting in the previous room, and Bai Ze was rolling around on the tea table in boredom.
Different from before, You Su opened the window today and looked at the bright stars and moon outside the window.
"Why did you open the window? Aren't you afraid of the cold?" Bai Ze is the spirit of the snow mountain and is not afraid of the snow and cold, so it doesn't matter whether he opens the window or not, he is just curious.
"You've been bored in your room all day, and the room is filled with your stinky smell. Let me get rid of it." You Su also pretended to pinch his nose.
Bai Ze grinned in anger, "Don't talk nonsense! I don't smell like anything!"
You Su secretly found it funny. Although Bai Ze could speak human words, he didn't seem to have the swearing module loaded. So much so that you can feel that it is very angry every time, but its rebuttal is weak, which is quite interesting.
But the little beast's next words made You Su unable to hold himself tight.
"It's you who smells! You're not smelly, but you're fishy! The quilt you slept on has the smell of sea fish!" Bai Ze looked at You Su suspiciously, and suddenly pointed at You Su with his cat paw, saying, "Are you hiding the fish behind my back?! No wonder there was a bulge in your pants in the morning!"
You Su's face was covered with black lines, and he coughed a few times pretending to be calm, "Didn't I give you all the good things I had? Did you hide half a goose egg that day and pretend I didn't know about it? Also, that's not fishy smell. , that's the smell of sweat. I excrete filth from my body during practice, so I'll ask someone to change the bed sheets later, and prepare some hot water for a bath. If you don't like it, just get out of bed and go to sleep in the corner. .”
You Su was in a good mood today and was too lazy to argue with this little beast who didn't understand anything.
He has always had a physique with abundant yang energy. With the help of his junior sisters in Zhongyuan Continent, not only his cultivation has improved rapidly, but his physical condition can also be maintained in a stable state.
Now there is no way to drain Yang Qi, but with the suppression of Bei Aozhou's ice and snow, he can still persist. However, even if you don't take the initiative to consume Yang Qi when it is full, your body will spontaneously discharge it from time to time, and there is nothing you can do about it.
In short, living conditions are better now, and it is much easier to change the lining and wash the body frequently.
"You're not afraid of the cold when you close the window, but you're afraid of others looking in. Am I right?" Bai Ze jumped on the window eaves and looked at the beautiful picture of stars, moon and falling snow in the courtyard.
You Su raised his eyebrows, "You have some sense of humanity."
"Bah." Bai Ze dismissed You Su's compliment, "So you're not afraid of the heat when you open the window. You're not afraid of being seen, right?"
You Su smiled and said, "The collusion between the city lord and Xie Sui is a certainty. That Hua Taoist took over the city lord's palace in Shuo City. By using his name to picket Xie Sui, Hua Taoist can check out more things he wants to check, and no one else refuses. Reason. Now that the Hua Taoist is the boss in this city, we can naturally be bolder by following him.”
"Really?!" Bai Ze turned around excitedly, his cat eyes shining brightly, "Then can I go out and play too?"
"If I find one of your cats sneaking out, I will never want you again and let you fend for yourself." You Su threatened.
You Su's words sounded like a threat, but they were actually telling Bai Ze that if he followed him and pretended to be a white cat, then it would be okay to go out for a walk in the current situation.
Bai Ze licked his paws and showed his not-so-sharp nails, "Me! No! Yes! Cat!"
"Whoever meows when sleeping is a cat." You Su broke the little white cat's insistence.
Bai Ze gritted his teeth in hatred and retorted, "What? Are you so reluctant to part with this divine beast? Do you have to go with me to go together?"
"I think you are too stupid and too weak. If you seek death, you will most likely be caught. Regardless of whether I want to save you or not, I will probably die in trouble if I want to save you. I don't like doing troublesome things. ." You Su took a sip of cold tea and closed the window again.
"One day, don't expect this beast to save you!"
Bai Ze saw that he was locked up again, and suddenly felt inexplicably aggrieved.
"I beg you, don't save me." You Su had already stood up and was about to meditate for a while, but his answer was still cold.
It's just... Bai Ze looked at the large piece of dried venison that appeared beside his paws at an unknown moment, and that little grievance was immediately washed away by happiness.
It was locked in the room all day, and naturally had no source of food. She thought it would be hungry until tomorrow, but unexpectedly, You Su didn't forget to bring it its favorite food.
It feels like it is a little beast in its den, and You Su is the leader who is out hunting... Bah! It's a servant!
You Su closed his eyes and rested his mind, looking at the black jellyfish appearing among the subordinates of the Golden Paper Dream Master in his mind, looking forward to what new abilities it would bring to him.
But it hadn't been long before the sea of knowledge had been connected to the golden polyps, when You Su suddenly felt that something was wrong.
There was a faint sound coming from my ears.
It was a female voice as gentle as water, with the sadness of falling flowers.
"Su'er..."
