Chapter 39
Chapter 39
"Thank you, Master Shuangyu." Ao Shun made a half-respect to Shuangyu, and thanked Hang Shiqi.Although Shuangyu is young, but as a candidate for the high priest, her status is on the same level as Ao Jing, and much higher than Ao Shun.
"No need." Shuang Yu's tone was cold and thin, like a cold spring, penetrating to the end.
The people around were not surprised at all, the Shuangyu they were familiar with has always been like this, with few desires to come out of dust.Only Hang Shiqi was a little surprised. After all, the last time he saw Shuang Yu in front of An Qing, he also looked happy, angry, sad, and acted like a spoiled child.
However, he didn't pay too much attention to Shuang Yu, but looked at the Yaotu orc who was pressed on the ground, and asked Ao Shun: "What is this guy doing? Assassin? He never thinks that he can cut through it with such a small blade. My arteries, let me bleed to death?"
"What is an artery?" Ao Shun heard this word for the first time.
"Uh... that's right, forget it's not something important." Hang Shiqi got stuck, what is it?He seemed to know it, but he couldn't remember it after thinking about it carefully.
When Hang Shiqi said so, Ao didn't ask further.Looking at the Yaotu orc who was pushed to the ground, he thought to himself: What happened today is too strange.First, the mad stone wolf appeared inexplicably.Then there was this drug rabbit who repeatedly touched Cihang Shiqi.There may be some connection between the two.A blade can't kill, why is he so persistent in wanting to attack Hang Shiqi with a blade?
Ao Shun picked up the blade, looked carefully, and smelled it, the blade was not poisonous.This is even more strange, people cannot be killed with a non-poisonous blade.What is he going to do?
Ao Shunchao ordered his subordinates: "This person should also be brought back to the security team for careful interrogation."
"He is going to die." Shuang Yu said suddenly.
"Who, who is going to die?" Ao Shun was taken aback for a moment, but saw the black blood overflowing from the mouth of the medicine rabbit, and he had secretly swallowed the poison.The onset of toxicity was very fast, within two or three seconds, his whole body twitched a few times, and he was completely out of breath.
Ao Shun raised his head in surprise, facing Shang Shuangyu's pair of glass eyes that were so clean that they seemed to be transparent, he trembled, and subconsciously avoided Shuangyu's gaze.Shuangyu's ability to see everything and predict the future, even if she is one of her own, sometimes feels scary.
"Wow! He's really dead." Hang Shiqi was taken aback, and asked Shuangyu bluffing, "How do you know he's going to die? Did he take poison? Why did he take poison?"
"I don't know." Shuangyu just looked at Yaotu and saw his future that was about to be swallowed by death.
Ao Tong rushed over with support people and took over the finishing work nearby.
"Ao Shun, you are not injured." Ao Tong hurriedly walked over after setting up the task.
"Brother, I'm fine. My brothers are fine. I've sent some injured civilians to be treated." Ao Shun said, "Today's incident is too strange."
Ao Tong breathed a sigh of relief: "It's very strange."
Regarding today's events, Ao Tong already had guesses in his mind.He knew more than Ao Shun, including the unidentified assassination organization that Yun Wuzhen talked to Ao Wu, and Ao Wu also told him a little bit, asking him to pay attention to the movements in the city and report any problems to himself.Ao Tong suspected that this incident might have been planned by those people.But these are not suitable to tell Ao Shun, he hopes that his brother will know less, so that the danger will be less.
When Shuangyu saw the interaction between Ao Tong and Ao Shun, there was a look of envy in his eyes: "You brothers have a very good relationship."
Only then did Ao Tong notice that Shuang Yu was there, and he didn't expect that the candidate for the high priest, who had always been reticent, would chat with him about family affairs, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Ao Shun is young, as an older brother, he always worries more."
Shuangyu lowered her eyes and did not respond.
Ao Tong didn't take it seriously, and greeted the others: "You have worked hard, go back and rest early."
"Yes." The other team members responded.After going through the battle just now, they really need to rest.
Ao Tong rubbed Ao Shun's head again, and said gently: "You also have a good rest, don't think too much, I will report today's situation to the boss in detail, he has his own measure."
"En." Ao Shun nodded, knowing that there was probably something involved behind it that he couldn't touch, so he didn't ask any more questions, and obediently organized the team members to withdraw.
Hang Shiqi was ready to follow suit.I was still thinking in my heart that I have a lot of exercise today, so I can eat more in the evening.
"Hang Shiqi." Shuang Yu called out.
"Ah, call me?" Hang Shiqi pointed at himself and tilted his head to look at Shuangyu.
Shuang Yu nodded: "Come with me."
"What are you doing?" Hang Shiqi took a few steps towards Shuangyu.
Ao Tong remembered that Ao Wu privately told him to take care of Hang Shiqi more, so he quickly followed up and asked: "Master Shuang Yu, what do you want to do with Hang Shiqi?"
"The high priest summoned him." Shuang Yu looked at Ao Tong and asked blankly, "Do you want to come together?"
Ao Tong wanted to go, but he really couldn’t leave at this time, thinking that the high priest has always opened the door, so he shouldn’t make it difficult for Hang Shiqi, so he replied: “I still have something to do here, so don’t bother me, Hang Shiqi and him It's the first time I go back to the court of priests, and I don't know the rules, so please take care of Master Shuangyu."
Shuang Yu blinked, but did not respond, after all, he did not know how to take care of others.I don't think Hang Shiqi needs to be taken care of either.He just turned around and said, "Let's go."
The main building of the Priest's Court is a tall white tower, not far from the palace. Hang Shiqi has seen this place from a distance in the palace, but it is the first time to come in.He looked around curiously, touched, smelled, like a child who is curious about everything.
There is a long corridor facing the entrance hall of the White Tower, surrounded by tall stone pillars, and there is a section of stone steps in front of it, which is the main hall for meditation and accumulation of inspiration.
A circle of young orcs are sitting here meditating.
There is a spiral staircase at the end of the main hall, which is semi-outdoor and leads all the way to the top of the tower.
Hang Shiqi then climbed up the stairs from here until he reached the top of the tower. The shape here is like a gazebo, with no walls around it, only the pointed top of the tower, which blocks the sun and casts a shade.
There was a circle of soft seats below, and the high priest sat cross-legged in the middle, and the surrounding priests, Hang Shiqi, also looked a little familiar, having met them before eating.On the far side, Shuangyue stood with a few guards, dressed in hard clothes, with a solemn expression.
"There are so many people." Hang Shiqi muttered in a low voice, rarely appearing a little cautious.The atmosphere here was too serious, which made him uncomfortable.
"Please sit down. Your name is Shiqi, right? Don't be nervous. We've met before. It's fine as usual." The high priest spoke first.His gentle smile, like the warm sunshine in March, made people relax unconsciously.
Shuang Yu took a small cushion and put it behind Hang Shiqi: "Sit down."
As always, that's OK.
Hang Shiqi thanked him, sat down on the cushion with his legs stretched forward, his hands behind his back, tilted his head and asked Shuangyu, "Is there any water to drink?"
He had fought for a long time before, and he was already thirsty.
It was the first time that Shuangyu had seen Hang Shiqi so casually, and looked at the high priest with some helplessness.The faces of several priests around were also not very good-looking, as if they felt that Hang Shiqi's attitude was too contemptuous.And Shuangyue's face was already darkened, if it wasn't for her father being here, she would have rushed to teach Hang Shiqi a lesson.
Only the high priest was still cheerful, and didn't care about Hang Shiqi's unintentional offense, and ordered according to his words: "Go and make a pot of tea for the guests."
"Yes, teacher." Shuang Yu got the order, turned around and left, and after a short while, brought the tea that had been made and placed it by Hang Shiqi's hand.
"Here you are." After putting down the tea, Shuang Yu obediently walked to the side of the high priest and sat down.
Hang Shiqi picked up the teacup, the tea was neither hot nor cold, just enough to drink.Hang Shiqitong drank it down in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and felt much more comfortable.He let out a long breath and asked, "Master High Priest, what do you want from me?"
"There are some things, but there is no rush. You have been in Yuehua City for a few days. As an old man, I have always been very curious about you and wanted to chat with you." Homely elders.
However, the surrounding priests looked serious.Shuangyue even looked as if she was facing a big enemy, she didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
"Then you talk." Hang Shiqi crossed his legs and adjusted a more comfortable sitting position. If the cushion was not too small, he might have just lay down.After all, fighting is tiring.
High priest: "I heard that you can control the natural force of the wind element, which is the inspiration for your own awakening. This is very rare, can you tell me about it?"
"That's right, actually I don't really know what inspiration, force of nature, I've never heard of these words before. It's just that I can use them suddenly. I can't control it at first, and the abilities appear more randomly. Recently, I seem to have learned a little trick. This skill is very useful in fighting. Especially when others are not paying attention, you can slap him. For example, I used to..."
Hang Shiqi Balabala talked about how he used his skills to catch thieves two days ago today, and how he used his skills to control the trapping rope to catch stone wolves today.
The high priest listened patiently: "It seems that you are very talented. Not only have you awakened your inspiration, but you have also successfully comprehended how to use the power of nature. You are really an excellent child."
Hang Shiqi likes others to praise him the most, and when he praises him, his tail will turn up: "Hey, it's okay, I don't think this thing is difficult, maybe I'm lucky."
The more you talk, the more you hate.Hearing that the faces of the few "unlucky" people around who had been working hard for many years and could only become auxiliary priests turned green.
The high priest finally turned to the main topic: "I heard from others that you have amnesia, and you don't remember things from your childhood, do you?"
"Ah, yes... yes." Hang Shiqi's heart tightened, the last thing he wanted to discuss was his "past".He was afraid that his identity as a killer and a dog would be accidentally discovered.
He suddenly remembered that Ao Wu had mentioned that Shuangyu could see other people's past.The high priest asked me to come here today. Could it be a grand banquet?
Hang Shiqi looked left and right, and began to look for the escape route. It seemed that there was only the spiral staircase behind him.It was also blocked by Shuangyue's people, tsk tsk.Things are not good.
The high priest noticed Hang Shiqi's uneasiness and comforted him with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I'm not testing you. Shuangyu is my apprentice. His ability is called insight. He can see a person's past and future clearly. If I want to investigate you, as soon as you come in, I can check it out. But everyone's past is his own secret, and if you don't want to tell it, I won't force it, old man. "
"Really?" Hang Shiqi asked worriedly.
High Priest: "Don't watch it. Unless you want to see it yourself."
"I don't want to watch it." Hang Shiqi almost had a guilty conscience written all over his face.
High Priest: "Then don't read it."
"Father!" Shuangyue said urgently.She lobbied for a long time today before her father agreed to bring Hang Shiqi over for a "chat". Didn't expect it to be a real chat?Hang Shiqi didn't let others see his past, obviously there was a problem, why did his father follow him so much?
"Yue'er, you can promise me that you will only watch from the sidelines and will not interrupt. If you can't do it, you can go out now." The high priest's tone was still gentle, but his smile was restrained.
"Yes." Shuangyue bit her lip and stared at Hang Shiqi unwillingly, but dared not say any more.
The high priest turned his attention to Hang Shiqi again: "People who can use the power of nature are mostly pure-minded, and I am willing to believe that Shiqi is a good boy. It's just that I heard a rumor that you are an organization in Nanxia The killer that was sent, can Shi Qi explain it to me?"
"explain?"
Hang Shiqi: Tsk, I was careless, but I was sold by that face-changing monster An Qing!
Hang Shiqi didn't know how to explain, after all, what the other party said was the truth.He can only lie if he wants to explain.But the high priest looked at him with complete trust in his eyes, as gentle as a generous elder, Hang Shiqi didn't want to lie to him.
"He is from Nanxia, but he is not a killer. It has nothing to do with the organization you mentioned. I don't know who is talking to the high priest and slandering Hang Shiqi like this. I think he may be sent by that organization." A spy." Ao Wu's cold and serious voice suddenly appeared behind Hang Shiqi, his tone was firm, and there was a bit of offended sullenness.
"Ao Wu, why are you here?" Hang Shiqi jumped up from the mat in surprise.He didn't expect Ao Wu to trust him so much and protect him so much.In addition to being moved, the mood is a little complicated.After all, he was originally the killer who came to kill Ao Wu, but he just gave up at the last moment.
"I'll take you home." Ao Wu stood tall at the edge of the pavilion, where light and shadow meet.The setting sun cast a layer of warm light on him, and then dragged a long shadow behind him.His stern eyebrows and eyes were a little soft, and his tone was tainted with human fireworks.
Hang Shiqi opened his ice blue round eyes wide.I feel that I may have hallucinations, otherwise why the handsome Ao Wu in front of me is a little unreal.
pick you up home.
Back... home?For some reason, Hang Shiqi's nose felt a little sour.It was as if he had been waiting for someone to say something similar to him since a long time ago.But I waited for a long time and didn't wait.
The high priest also raised his eyebrows slightly. It was the first time he saw Ao Wu defending others so decisively: "Ao Wu, my child, I know you are not a credulous person, I hope you can give a good reason."
"Yes," Ao Wu sat cross-legged next to Hang Shiqi: "That organization sent hyenas and ghost blood vines to assassinate me on the way back. If Hang Shiqi hadn't been vigilant and discovered the hyena's ambush, I'm afraid the hunting team would appear unexpectedly." Small casualties. After that, he dived into the quagmire alone and gave the ghost blood vine a fatal blow, preventing the opponent from escaping and causing greater danger. Hang Shiqi, it is absolutely impossible for the opponent to send the killer."
"Maybe he's just acting?" Shuangyue asked unwillingly.She clenched her fists hard to restrain herself from rushing forward.The boss is here, he came here specially for Hang Shiqi, and he said "take you home"
Shuangyue felt that she was going crazy with jealousy, why did everyone turn to Hang Shiqi and trust Hang Shiqi, so did her father, and so did her boss.It is obvious that Hang Shiqi is a murderer with evil intentions and a pretending liar.
Ao Wu: "Impossible."
"Why is it impossible!" Shuangyue shouted uncontrollably: "Since everyone said it was impossible, why didn't he dare to let Shuangyu see his past?"
Ao Wu's tone was cold, and he paused every word: "Just because he obviously has the opportunity to do something, and I'm still alive."
