The autumn wind rises and the dragon sings

Chapter 170 Proposal, Reward (Revised)
In the woods, Yi Ruchen put the bone blade against the neck of the Lord of the Remnant Forest, his eyes fell on the slightly heaving heart, and his eyes became colder: That was... Lan's breath!Moreover, this person clearly has signs of being harvested by the law, but he still exists in this world. The price must be high!
The owner of the residual forest was a little confused by this sudden question, but he just thought that the other party was worried about Zilan, so he replied gently: "Zilan is taking care of my brother and old friend in the residual forest. There is nothing serious. Although Don’t worry.”

Orchid...?Oh, it should be Lan’s pseudonym.Yi Ruchen thought in hindsight, but seeing that the other party didn't seem to understand what he meant, he changed to a more direct one: "You should be dead obviously." The bone blade moved down and landed on his heart, gently Click twice: "A broken heart, no medicine or stone can cure it, but someone saved you..."

The bone blade was pressed down, and the chill instantly invaded. The Lord of the Remaining Forest's pupils suddenly shrank with the young man's next words, and his face showed horror.

"I used my heart, lifespan, and the punishment of heaven to renew your life."

Yi Ruchen said with an incomprehensible face, but secretly carefully observed the reaction in the sky. If something went wrong, he would let the light ball help block it and relieve some pain. However, after finishing speaking, he did not see any changes in the sky, so he He breathed a sigh of relief, guessing it was because it wouldn't change the direction of the plot.

"Is it...Zilan?!" The Lord of the Remnant Forest put his hand on his heart, feeling the steady and strong heartbeat. For a moment, he didn't know what kind of emotion he should feel. He had already guessed that Zilan had pulled him out of the gate of hell. The price is not small, but I never thought it would be like this...

"Is there a way?"

"No." Yi Ruchen, who knew what the other party was going to ask, answered first, and then said with a serious face: "Unless Lan does it herself, no one can take out the heart intact."

The Lord of the Remnant Forest was startled and looked worried: "Will Zilan be okay?"

Yi Ruchen was stunned for a moment and thought that it shouldn't be the case. After all, although Lan didn't have much force value and liked to help others, she would definitely not do anything life-threatening. The heart she used should be the puppet's heart, which should not cause any harm to herself.

Guangqiu added: "There are also fewer holidays."

That's right, after all, Lan is the only one who doesn't have to do tasks. As long as those old immortals don't interfere, Lan will basically be fine.

"Probably not." Yi Ruchen said calmly. Seeing that the other party's worried tone did not seem to be fake, and he was obviously very concerned about Lan, his attitude softened a little and took back the bone blade: "Now that you understand, let's go back Take good care of yourself and stay healthy, and don’t get involved in political affairs."

The Lord of the Remnant Forest shook his head and said sternly: "The identity of the mastermind behind the scenes has not been found out, and the family feud has not been avenged. How can I abandon it, and besides, there is you, young hero..." He couldn't help but be stunned when he said this. Looking at the young man in front of him, Yi Ruchen was a little confused and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face: "Me?"

The Lord of the Remnant Forest nodded and did not ask why the other party came back from the dead or why he looked so pale. He just asked politely: "I would like to ask, but I wonder if the young hero still remembers the identity of the person behind the scenes?"

How could he know this? Didn't he just arrive in this world?And judging by the tone of the other person's voice, it seems like he knows him?
Guangqiu came out to explain the confusion: "We had a few encounters before I lost my memory. Little Achen, you can just call me "Lin Master", and this person is very easy to talk to. Little Achen, you can just fool me a few times. ╮ (￣3￣)╭”

Wouldn't it be a good idea to deceive an honest person...

Although he thought so, Yi Ruchen still started to cheat seriously: "Since I am the person behind the scenes, naturally I will not let me know my identity easily. If the pavilion... Lin Master really wants to take revenge, just leave it to me. You don’t have to take the risk yourself.”

You can directly ask the ball of light to tell him when the person is eating lunch, and then he can pick up the leak. Although it is opportunistic, it is really a revenge for the person. It is estimated that the power of the rules will be available by then. If it doesn't work, he can go back and pull someone out. one.

Plan pass√
However, the other party did not agree with this suggestion and refused in a rare and serious tone: "I have already asked the young hero to take a risk once, and it harmed the young hero... Now that the young hero has just recovered, how can I let the young hero take risks again and enjoy the benefits? , to be that unkind and unjust person?"

"Uh... it's not that serious..." In fact, he just didn't want people who shouldn't exist in the world to get involved in the plot. If the plot changed, the punishment would fall on Lan alone.

But feeling the other party's sincere eyes, Yi Ruchen couldn't say anything else, so he could only sigh: "I'll just follow what Master Lin said, but does Master Lin have any clues?"

"This..." The Lord of the Remnant Forest hesitated for a moment, but still told him everything that had happened recently, including the fact that Bo Hanbo and the copied "Five Remnant's Moves" appeared in the secret room of Guiliang Tianxia's study.

Yi Ruchen clarified the relationship while listening. When he heard what happened later, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly and twirled his fingertips: Why do you feel that the person named Qiu Yu deliberately guided the discovery?Moreover, the timing of the death of the Guiliang Palace Master was too coincidental.

After the Lord of the Remnant Forest finished speaking, Yi Ruchen lowered his eyes slightly and said calmly: "The Lord of the Forest may have sensed something is wrong, right? In other words, the Lord of the Forest already has a candidate in mind, but he just doesn't want to believe it."

The Lord of the Remnant Forest was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "It's not that I don't want to believe it, it's just that the "Five Remnant's Moves" cannot be learned by anyone who is not a heavenly eunuch. My old friend has two sons, how can he learn it? "

Tian Yi... Yi Ruchen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he realized something and looked apologetic, but quickly returned to normal: "I'm sorry to ask, is there any evidence to prove that the friend of the Lin Master belongs to those two young masters... Uh, biological father?"

After asking Yi Ruchen, he subconsciously took half a step back. After all, the question was a bit too harsh, and he was afraid that he would be pressed to the ground and rubbed.Fortunately, the owner of the residual forest is a really good-tempered person. Although this question is very rude, his tone is just a little more serious: "Feiyu was born by the wife of an old friend. He grew up beside his old friend since he was a child. How can the last thing be false?"

This is the truth, but Yi Ruchen has a vague feeling that it is not the case, but he has no evidence, so he has to change the question: "It is really difficult to say about blood relations, but Master Lin does not feel that Master Guiliang is dead. Is the timing too much of a coincidence?"

The Lord of the Remnant Forest sighed softly and said: "Although I have doubts, my old friend is indeed dead..."

"Master of the forest, sometimes there are no complete corpses after death, but it does not mean that the person is really dead. It may also be that some traceable traces have been erased." Yi Ruchen interrupted the master of the residual forest, and then retreated again , continued: "And the timing is too coincidental. If there are too many coincidences, it means it was premeditated."

"Young hero, you..." The Lord of the Remnant Forest was a little angry at his pointed remarks, but after seeing the other person's small movements of quietly retreating, and thinking of the other person's death at the hands of others, the newly born anger The meaning disappeared and turned into a helpless sigh: "Young hero, it's better not to jump to conclusions based on unproven things. After all, he is my good friend."

"Sorry..." Yi Ruchen also realized that his remarks were too subjective. No one wanted to hear others doubt their friends, and he did the same.

"Well... I just think there are a lot of doubts. I don't mean to slander your friend. If there is any offense, I..."

The Lord of the Remnant Forest looked at the young man who was pretending to be calm but was blushing and wanted to apologize. He couldn't help but smile and said gently: "I understand, young hero, you don't need to care."

Yi Ruchen wanted to say something, but did not continue. He secretly chatted with Guangqiu for a few words, and then got back to the topic: "There are no clues now. If the master of the forest wants to find the person behind the scenes, it will be very difficult. After all, the other party is in the dark."

Saying that, Yi Ruchen took out two things that were only the size of his palm and handed them to the owner of the remaining forest: "The only way is to turn light into darkness. These two things can help you, the owner of the forest, but you have to rely on the owner of the forest." You have only one chance to judge. If you make a mistake, you may be in crisis."

The Lord of the Remnant Forest took the two items handed over by Yi Ruchen, opened them a little and looked at them, and then he understood the other party's intention, and his expression showed a little solemnity: "This... is too precious."

"It's okay, just think of it as a thank you to Lin Master for taking care of Lan." Yi Ruchen waved his hand, and then warned: "If you really find out, don't be too impulsive, it's best to wait for the opportunity. In short, it's just a The word, forbearance.”

"I understand." The Lord of the Remnant Forest put away the things and bowed his hands in salute: "Thank you, young hero."

Yi Ruchen helped the man up and said half-jokingly: "For the sake of safety, Master Lin, you have to disappear quietly."

The Lord of the Remnant Forest understood the meaning of the words and smiled the same way: "Of course."

"Well, let's just leave it at that."

"Farewell."

After finishing speaking, the Lord of the Remnant Forest turned around and left.

"The person successfully deceived him and left, but..." After waiting for the person to leave, Yi Ruchen opened his personal panel and looked at the single-digit balance left, with a look of pain and accusation on his face: "It's just two things, and they are selling for so much Expensive, my money... you profiteer!"

Guangqiu expressed his innocence: "You get what you pay for, and the quality is guaranteed. It doesn't matter if it's more expensive."

"Of course you don't have anything. That's all my money, my money! And even if you don't give a discount, you will deduct a handling fee. You are a profiteer. I want to complain to you!" Yi Ruchen said more and more. Angry, he pointed at the balance and gritted his teeth and said: "I am penniless now, what will I do with food and accommodation in the future?"

"Yeah, yeah~ It's not like you're penniless, that's one more thing, and besides, little Achen, you are in a soul state, so you don't have to worry about food and accommodation. It's no problem if you sleep in the open air."

"...Get out! You profiteer!"

Yi Ruchen, who had just lost a small sum of money, did not want to see this terrible guy. Guangqiu also knew that the other party was on the verge of beating him, so he stopped seeking death and wisely changed the subject: "Little Achen, you Aren’t you going to meet Lan?”

Yi Ruchen's expression stiffened slightly, then turned indifferent, and said calmly: "No, I believe nothing will happen to Lan, and that guy won't let anything happen to Lan. By the way, I was killed by someone behind the scenes when I was on a mission before. dead?"

Guangqiu thought for a while and replied: "This is really not the case."

"Oh? Did he commit suicide again?"

"Well... so to speak."

"Okay." Yi Ruchen showed an expression of "Sure enough". After all, this is not the first time he has received a task that requires him to commit suicide. He is almost used to it. Think about it, he is not yet an adult, and he has encountered all these things. Bad things.

The ball of light came over hehey: "Yeah, yeah, little Ashen, don't you want Lan and the others to know your plan? Don't worry, Lan and the others are on your side, why don't we work together..."

"We are together! Seizing the power of rules is not like fighting. The more people, the better. I can do it alone. Also, don't tell Lan and that guy, otherwise you will be regarded as a person of heaven..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cold and dead air suddenly spread, and the surrounding trees seemed to have been taken away from their vitality, and they withered and fell to the ground, showing a dead state within a foot.

However, the ball of light seemed not to see it, rubbing it against Yi Ruchen while flattering him: "Oh, I am actually yours now, little Achen~ How could I betray you? (*/ω＼ *)"

"...Get out!" He is getting less and less formal day by day. Fortunately, this guy is not a god, otherwise the headquarters will be finished sooner or later.

Yi Ruchen held his forehead with a headache, and the spreading deathly aura dissipated in an instant, and then stopped talking about the topic just now: "Okay, help me get a reward order, the higher the reward, the better, preferably as high as The kind that people can’t refuse.”

"Good~"

Although the light ball is sometimes unreliable, it is still very efficient in doing things. In a short time, the reward order that Yi Ruchen wanted was completed.

Yi Ruchen rubbed the paper in his hand, his eyes passed over the blurry portrait, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: Can't you even see the face of the portrait clearly...

Then he landed on the scrawled content and read smoothly: "This person's name is Qingxiang Bailiansu, and he possesses a special rare item. If you can get it and deliver it to me, I will be grateful. The reward is..." Look Seeing the bounty of a few zeros, Yi Ruchen twitched the corner of his mouth again and said speechlessly: "As expected of someone working under Tiandao, he is really rich. I have never seen so much money."

Guangqiu expressed doubts: "Didn't you say, little Ashen, that you want to give a price that no one can refuse? Innocent.JPG"

Yi Ruchen: "...It's really irresistible. I even want to receive the reward myself (╬￣ Pan￣)"

Light Ball: "Oh, no one can get it anyway, so I just wrote it casually ㄟ(▔, ▔)ㄏ"

Yi Ruchen: ...That seems to be the truth.

Then he stopped worrying about whether these things were there or not, and let the ball of light lead the way. He had to put the reward order where it should be, otherwise he would have no reason to get close to Su Huanzhen, let alone get what he wanted.

At the public pavilion, in order to prevent himself from being exposed too quickly, the matter of hanging the reward was left to Guangqiu. Yi Ruchen stood in the distance and waited, while thinking about how to enter the vast sky without arousing suspicion. Don't let the people in the demon world play out a scene of being hunted down with him?

Yi Ruchen, who felt that this idea might be useful but unnecessary, felt the wooden box behind him being hit by someone. He took his thoughts back and turned around to see a sneaky figure disappearing quickly among the people coming and going. Then he reached out his hand. Stroking his empty waist, he narrowed his eyes: What a little thief with no long memory.

The light ball on the other side posted the reward order for Su Huanzhen, thought about it, and made another missing person notice. Looking at the sincere description on it, he was very satisfied. As for the reward... it was missing. Zero is fine, this way Shang won't be angry.

After doing this, the light ball happily floated to find Yi Ruchen, only to find that there was no one there. After looking around, he determined a direction and continued to float happily. No one could see it anyway.

At this time, Yi Ruchen was following the man leisurely, neither approaching nor moving away. His playful behavior made the man very angry. Finally, he stopped in front of a small villa and turned around to scold him. Said: "What are you doing following this girl!"

Yi Ruchen immediately stopped and pretended to be surprised when he heard the words: "What do you mean, girl? I'm not following you, girl. I'm just..." As soon as he finished speaking, the person appeared beside the woman. Before anyone could react, a dragon-shaped jade pendant was hanging on the fingertips: "I just want to get back what belongs to me."

"You!" The woman was stunned, then turned around and wanted to run, but her knees hurt and she knelt down on the ground.

"Tell me about you. You're not a professional thief. Have you never heard of 'one person can steal twice'?" After appeasing the unhappy jade pendant, Yi Ruchen put it back on her waist with disgust in her words.

The woman looked confused: "Is there such a statement?"

"No, I made it up."

"..." The woman was stunned again, then realized something, struggled to get up: "It turns out it's you! Give me my money bag back!"

"Money bag?" Yi Ruchen then remembered the thing he had taken casually before, and then smiled: "Girl, what are you talking about? Isn't that used to buy my skeleton? That is my favorite skeleton. Once the money and goods are gone, how can there be any reason to return it?"

"You!" The woman was so angry that she almost fainted. What did you mean by buying it? It was clearly meant to scare her. Who would put a skull in a money bag?

"so……"

Yi Ruchen wanted to continue to say something, but saw a flash of cold light, and the woman actually pulled out a dagger and stabbed her. However, before he could take action, the woman fell to the ground.

A faint breath of death came. Yi Ruchen squinted his eyes and looked up, only to see a man wearing coarse linen clothes walking slowly from behind. He was supposed to have an extremely rough temperament, but instead he looked more abrupt. It's a bit scholarly and elegant, but it looks a bit inconsistent, as if... it's not original.

Before Yi Ruchen could figure out the reason, the man walked up to him, bowed his head and saluted: "I have met the Taoist priest."

...Who is this?
