Chapter 143 Tangled

"Don't rush to death yet, I still have something to ask you." Wu Zhongyuan tried to ease the depressing and dull atmosphere.

But Sanhu had no sense of humor and just said calmly, "Just ask."

"Can Yang Yi be saved?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"I am not a god, and I have no ability to bring the dead back to life." Sanhu said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded silently.

"Take Wu Kuo's spirit stone and leave here." Sanhu urged.

Wu Zhongyuan walked to the corner and took off the deerskin pouch from Wu Kui's waist. The spiritual stone was in it.

"What can I do to free you?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Sanhu didn't answer, or to be precise, he didn't answer in words.

"Wait for me for a while. I'll go out and explain to them first." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Okay." Sanhu responded.

Wu Zhongyuan took a few steps back and left the silver room.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan come out, everyone hurriedly gathered around him. Wang Xinran asked eagerly, "Why did it take so long? Did you do something in there?"

Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and looked at her. Wang Xinran pointed at the beasts that were far away from the mountain, "They all retreated."

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer everyone's questions, "Leave here as soon as possible. The cave on the mountainside is the exit, but the copper box inside can only accommodate four people at most. We need to leave in batches."

Wang Xinran said, "You, Xiao Qin, and the other two are leaving first."

The "two of them" in Wang Xinran's mouth naturally refers to Zhao Ying and Lin Qing. Why did Wang Xinran arrange this? Wu Zhongyuan also understood in his heart that Wang Xinran wanted to create opportunities for him to leave with Zhao Ying and Lin Qingming.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "I have to stay," after saying that, he looked at Huang Hailin, "You take Yang Yi and go with them first."

Although Wang Xinran didn't know why Wu Zhongyuan did this, he knew that he must have his own reasons for this arrangement, "That's okay, you go out first."

Huang Hailin wanted to stay, but before he could speak, Wang Xinran made the final decision, "Leave now and wait for us outside."

Obeying orders is a soldier's bounden duty.

Seeing that Wang Xinran had made up his mind, Huang Hailin immediately packed up his things and went down the mountain without delay.

Zhao Ying naturally knew that Wu Zhongyuan would not make random arrangements, but she couldn't figure out Wu Zhongyuan's intention for such an arrangement. She glanced at Wu Zhongyuan in confusion and walked down the mountain with Lin Qingming.

When the two of them walked more than ten meters, Wu Zhongyuan followed and whispered to Zhao Ying, "The exit is underwater. Apo misses you."

Zhao Ying understood, but still frowned and glanced at Wu Zhongyuan as a way to cooperate.

Wu Zhongyuan looked at Lin Qingming again, wanting to speak but didn't. In the end, he just patted Lin Qingming's arm, then turned and walked back.

When Wu Zhongyuan came back, Wang Xinran asked, "What did you say to her?"

"Nothing." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"I'll go down and take a look." Xiao Qin was very sensible.

After Xiao Qin left, Wang Xinran asked again, "What happened? If you didn't go with them, why did you let them go?"

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer. Huang Hailin took Yang Yi's body, so he certainly couldn't stop Zhao Ying and Lin Qingming from leaving. Wang Xinran was so smart, how could he not see that he let the two leave on purpose.

"Say it." Wang Xinran urged.

Wu Zhongyuan sighed, "No matter what you do, there are disadvantages."

"What do you mean?" Wang Xinran was confused.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer. This matter was very difficult. No matter what he did, he couldn't balance it all. If he told Wang Xinran that he already knew where Zhao Ying's three spiritual stones were hidden, Wang Xinran would definitely arrest Zhao Ying, and this This was not the result he wanted to see. Zhao Ying was indeed an overseas spy, but he did not want to see her go to jail.

If you don't want to see her go to jail, you must let her take the opportunity to escape, but letting Zhao Ying go has its drawbacks, that is, Zhao Ying may take away the other two spiritual stones. The only way to let her go without making her alert is It was to make Zhao Ying mistakenly think that he chose to cooperate with foreign forces, so that she would take Lin Qingming to Abo's village to wait for him to meet him there.

But there are also disadvantages to this, that is, Lin Qingming will stay with her, and this is not what he wants to see, because if Lin Qingming follows Zhao Ying, he may continue to look for the next spiritual stone. But he still had to let Lin Qingming follow Zhao Ying, because Lin Qingming was a death row prisoner, and only Zhao Ying could guarantee his safety.

Although he knew how to wake up Huang Ping, he could not tell Lin Qingming about this method because Zhao Ying, Wang Xinran and others were nearby. Even if he talked to Lin Qingming in private, both of them would be able to detect something keenly. The method of awakening Huang Ping was based on the fact that the elixir held by Zhao Ying was ineffective against Huang Ping. How could he tell Lin Qingming when there were so many people with so many eyes?

Furthermore, the reason why he didn't take advantage of the spirit stone that Zhao Ying carried was because he didn't want Wang Xinran to know that Zhao Ying had completely lost its value. He must not overestimate the strength of a woman. If Wang Xinran knew about the spirit stone, it would be enough. Yes, Zhao Ying will definitely be arrested.

The situation he is currently facing can only be described as intricate and complex. No matter how he handles it, there are drawbacks, and it is difficult to find a perfect solution at the moment.

"What did you see inside?" Wang Xinran asked. The more Wu Zhongyuan didn't say anything, the more confused she became, and doubt was not a pleasant feeling.

"I saw the truth." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wu Zhongyuan's answer made Wang Xinran have the urge to kick him. If he said it, he didn't say it, but it made her even more confused.

It would look spineless if people kept asking questions instead of telling them. Wang Xinran knew this, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Are you really not going to go with them?"

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said, "I won't follow you anymore. I know the whereabouts of the other spiritual stones."

Wang Xinran became more and more confused, "How can you know? There is almost no intersection between Sanxingdui civilization and Chinese civilization. How can the creatures inside know the whereabouts of other spiritual stones?"

Wu Zhongyuan was speechless. He came into contact with all smart people. The biggest characteristic of smart people is that they pay attention to logic and rationality. Any irrationality will be picked out by the other party.

In order to prevent Wang Xinran from continuing to ask questions, Wu Zhongyuan took out the deerskin bag taken from Wu Kui and poured out the spiritual stone inside.

As expected, this move temporarily diverted Wang Xinran's attention, "Sure enough, it's here."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "My sister-in-law is hopeless."

Although he had already guessed that this would be the result, Wang Xinran still sighed.

Wu Zhongyuan added, "The creatures inside taught me a method. This method can revive her for three days. She can live awake for three days, and my brother is satisfied."

"In that case, why don't you keep your senior brother? It is very dangerous for your senior brother to follow the black suit." Wang Xinran said.

"If he doesn't follow Zhao Ying, he will be more dangerous." Wu Zhongyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't want to be a ruthless person. On the mountain where the little wizard was that day, if it weren't for Zhao Ying, he would have been killed by the middle-aged Taoist priest. , just for this reason, he couldn't let Zhao Ying go to jail.

It is extremely difficult to let Zhao Ying go, take away her two spiritual stones without her becoming suspicious, and at the same time ensure the safety of Lin Qingming. It is extremely difficult to balance these three points.

Although Wang Xinran didn't know what Wu Zhongyuan was thinking, she could feel his helplessness, but there was really nothing she could do about it. This is not a feudal society, and the emperor cannot be exempted from guilt with just one word. This is a society ruled by law. Lin Qingming killed someone. , and it is intentional homicide, or a repeat offender. Even if he surrenders, he will be dead, and there is no possibility of even a suspended death sentence.

After sighing, Wang Xinran returned the spirit stone that Wu Zhongyuan had given him before, "Do you really know the whereabouts of the other spirit stones?"

Wu Zhongyuan was speechless. Fortunately, the slight vibration of the mountain diverted Wang Xinran's attention. Huang Hailin and others had already gone out.

"What on earth are you..."

Before Wang Xinran could finish speaking, Wu Zhongyuan interrupted her, "Can you please stop asking now? I don't want to lie to you. When the time comes, I will tell you everything and I won't hide anything from you."

"If nothing else, you must at least tell me why the creature inside wants to help you?" Wang Xinran said.

"How do you know it's helping me?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.

"Don't tell me that this matter has nothing to do with it." Wang Xinran pointed to the herd of beasts retreating into the distance.

"It did it," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "It not only helped us drive away these monsters, but also gave me a lot of useful information. I told you last time it came out, it is a parasitic fetus, and its main body It has been killed by the warrior back then. It has been trapped here for thousands of years and cannot survive. In return for its help, I will kill the current version of it and rescue the version of it when I go back."

Wang Xinran suddenly realized that although this matter was complicated and bizarre, she could still understand that smart people are not afraid of complicated things, but afraid of illogical confusion.

"Would it bother you if I asked what information it gave you?" Wang Xinran still couldn't help but want to ask.

The words were on his lips. Wu Zhongyuan suddenly woke up and could not tell Wang Xinran what information Sanhu had sent him. Otherwise, Wang Xinran would know that Sanhu had the ability to read and transfer other people's memories, so she could guess him. The real reason for not following Zhao Ying.

"Give me the gun." Wu Zhongyuan stretched out his hand.

Wang Xinran handed over the rifle, "Can you use it?"

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "The copper box has floated up. You and Xiao Qin go to the cave on the mountainside to wait for me. I will go down to meet you after I finish what I have to do."

"Okay, be careful." Wang Xinran turned around and went down the mountain.

Wu Zhongyuan looked down from the top of the mountain. After Wang Xinran and Xiao Qin entered the cave on the mountainside, he returned to the silver house with his rifle.

"It's time to go." Wu Zhongyuan walked towards the silver vat.

"It's time to go." Sanhu said.

"I will definitely do what I promised you." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"I know," Sanhu said, "There are two things I think it is necessary to remind you."

"What?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Only the wizards entered the altar, and the Aryan tribe also had the king. The king's martial arts skills were passed down by word of mouth, and I didn't know about it." Sanhu said.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Wu Zhongyuan was stunned. Sanhu told the bride that she was already three months pregnant after the bridal chamber.

Sanhu did not answer his words and continued, "There is one more thing you need to know. Not every wizard of the Bear Tribe can transfer time and space. What determines whether they can transfer space is spiritual energy cultivation. Whether it is a special six-yang bloodline that can transfer time, there is only one wizard left who possesses this special bloodline."

"How old is this person?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned.

"Eighty-three years old..."
