The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 604: Is it really a coincidence? (Update)

Zheng Qingyan's sight fell on the "Dragon Gun" that had been evilly transformed by the "All Stars Society" and discovered that its surface was covered with all kinds of mysterious patterns, appearing extremely messy, as if deliberately avoiding all "beauty". No wonder Erlang looked down on it and wanted to recast it.

As an organization that worships the "Star God", the "Star Society" clearly used to attach great importance to the aesthetics of appearance. How come such unsightly works have always been produced in the past few hundred years?

Zheng Qingyan's thoughts raced, but she didn't answer Zhao Chen's question right away. Instead, she asked something else: "Is the 'Happy Treasure Pavilion' you got from Bai Nongmei still there?"

Zhao Chen knew she wouldn't speak without a purpose, so he nodded in agreement and said, "That magical instrument has been contaminated by the 'real body' and is completely out of control."

"It's good that it's still there... Actually, you don't need to ask me for help in recasting the 'Youlong Gun'. The 'Road Office' has its own 'craftsmen'.

"After you submit the report on this incident, the assessment mission for Fenglin Village should be completed. Then you will be the official 'Demon Subduing Deputy Envoy'.

"As a seventh-rank Taoist official, I have the benefit of applying for a 'craftsman' to make a magic tool once a year... Of course, I have to bring my own materials.

"Although recasting of the 'magical instrument' is not within the scope of this benefit, it is not impossible to make an exception... As far as I know, a 'craftsman' affiliated with the Dao official office in Liangzhou has been looking for an out-of-control 'magical instrument' to study, but has never been able to do so." Zheng Qingyan gave his plan in a light-hearted manner.

To be able to study the out-of-control "divine power instrument", the "craftsman" must at least be a master of the "divine power" realm, or even a "Dongxuan" real person...

Zhao Chen immediately understood what was going on, and then looked at Zheng Qingyan in surprise: "You also know a lot about the 'Road Office'."

This level of "craftsman" intelligence is not so easy to obtain.

Zheng Qingyan did not want to hide this from Zhao Chen, and said directly: "Zheng Guang, the 'Jinfu Shangqing' of the Daoguan Office, is from the Zheng family. He was transferred to the northwest region more than a month ago."

"Jin Mansion Shangqing"... This is the title of a Taoist official of the fourth rank, and only a "Dongxuan" Taoist can hold the position!
The Zheng family's roots are far away in the East China Sea, so why would they send a real person to the northwest? More than a month ago... It seemed that it was the time when the "Linghe Castle" and the Bai family's Dongxuan real person disappeared, and Qingyan frequently received family missions...

Are you here to show off?

It seems that the Zheng family takes the matter of "stealing the door" very seriously.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chen asked.

Zheng Qingyan was actually a little puzzled by this, but she just confirmed Zhao Chen's guess: "The Zheng family does attach great importance to people from the 'Thief Sect', but it's not what I said last time, that they are here to collect 'theft'-type magical powers, that's just a superficial excuse...

"The Zheng family is probably looking for clues to something...

"I couldn't think of what it was before, but combined with the information you got from Chai Xun, I have some new guesses.

"Isn't it possible that what the Zheng family is looking for is one of the treasures that Chai Xun and his friends stole?!"

Yes, the "Chai Xun" who came out of the "Xian De Qin Tian Calendar" said that he and several friends stole many treasures from many noble families and clans, not just the "Yellow Dragon Cup" of the royal family...

Maybe three hundred years ago, they also stole something important from the Zheng family!

But why didn't the Zheng family look for it before, but only started investigating recently? You have to know that although the "Linghe Castle" and the Bai family are also powerful, they can't compare with the Zheng family!

Not to mention the "Shengxuan" True Lord, there are twelve "Dongxuan" True Lords in the Zheng family, and more than half of them are "true bodies" of the second realm. This strength is considered to be in the upper-middle level among all the aristocratic families.

If they really took it seriously, they would have suppressed the sects and families formed by these "thieves" who had run away, forcing them to offer all kinds of clues and information themselves.

So… did the Zheng family only recently find out that something was missing? Or did they only recently find out that the things were stolen by the original “thieves”?

Has anything big happened in the Zheng family recently?

Thinking of this, Zhao Chen and Zheng Qingyan looked at each other and thought of a "person" at the same time:
"Qingyuan Temple Prayer!"

The priest of the "Dragon King Temple" was originally the True Lord of the Zheng Family, but three hundred years ago he became a Taoist for unknown reasons. As a result, his body was suppressed in the "Lock Dragon Pond" in Shu, and his spirit turned into a demon.

At the Sword Discussion Conference in Jiange more than a month ago, Qing Yuan not only regained his sanity and humanity, but also took back his body.

“It was also three hundred years ago… the timing just happens to match.

“So, it’s possible that Chai Xun and his gang stole some treasure from the Zheng family, which caused Qing Yuan to lose control?
"The Zheng family had always believed that the Qingyuan Temple priest had the treasure, and only recently found out the whole story?" Zhao Chen keenly noticed the time point of "three hundred years ago" and gave his own guess.

This was the first time that Zheng Qingyan had considered this issue. After all, she was not a real girl from the Zheng family in her heart. She even had to avoid the True Lord of the Zheng family as much as possible before she reached "Dongxuan", so it was just like that to her family.

This time she took the initiative to help the Zheng family seize the magic weapon because she happened to need the help of the family forces. She had to make a contribution that was worth showing off in order to mobilize more resources.

However, she felt that Zhao Chen's guess made sense, and there was another Zheng family secret in her memory as evidence:

"The Zheng family spent a great deal of money to obtain the Thunder Jade Pivot Forgiveness Treasure Repentance from the Daoxian Sect more than two hundred years ago, which is how the Taixiao Daojun Forgiveness came into being... and for a period of time before that, the Dragon King's Blessing Scripture was not allowed to be practiced within the Zheng family..."

Hearing this, Zhao Chen felt that he had almost come into contact with the truth of the matter, so he looked into Zheng Qingyan's eyes again and said in unison: "What the Zheng family wants to get back is their own 'forgiveness'!"

Zhao Chen shook his head and said regretfully: "Unfortunately... my 'investigator' has already digested it..."

"In fact, there is another question, which is why Qingyuan's Taoist body was suppressed in the Dragon Locking Pond in Shu, and what role did Jiange play in this matter." Zheng Qingyan frowned, but could not guess the key.

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "This matter has nothing to do with us anyway, so there's no need to delve into it..."

Before he could finish his words, Zheng Qingyan interrupted him with a serious expression, "It cannot be said that it is completely unrelated... You have obtained the true inheritance of the 'Thief Sect', and my two incarnations, one is the daughter of the Zheng family, and the other is the descendant of Master Moyun, are also closely related to this matter.

“And the people, demons, and many other incidents we encountered before were all more or less related to the forbidden area in the back mountain of Yuwang Sect…

"Do you think this is really a coincidence?"
