I am a fairy in the world of mortals

Chapter 237 Cheng Xu’s gift, ancient Tianhe jade
Li Lang flew all the way, pushing his own Qi movement to the extreme.

When he finally arrived at the location marked by Gu Zhaozhao, what he saw was a desert oasis like a fairyland.

The transpiration of water vapor turned into mist, covering the oasis. Among the sunken sand dunes, ancient poplar trees supported the invasion of the sand dunes.

Most of the entire oasis is sunken under the cover of sand dunes.

If Li Lang hadn't had a clear goal, he might have missed this place.

Its appearance is so unreasonable!

It stands to reason that any big sandstorm would be enough to bury this oasis.

But it looks like it's been around a long time.

Unlike those oases beside the lake, where only some grass and flowers grow, it has a small forest of trees, and they are all very old.

They are proof of the oasis's considerable antiquity.

The Western Region is not just desert, but desert is its most distinctive feature.

And when the emerald green oasis is dotted in the desert filled with the smell of death, its charm is infinitely magnified.

While he was in mid-air, Li Lang was already amazed by the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.

When he landed on the ground, walked into the oasis, crossed a lake, and felt the coolness of the hot and dry place, the anxiety in his heart seemed to be calmed.

Crossing the lake, Li Lang saw an old wooden house on the other side.

He was certain that there were no living people in this oasis.

This also meant that he was looking in the wrong place.

Of course... Li Lang didn't want to think that this was the burial place of Cheng Xu.

Pushing open the small door of the wooden house, he lowered his head and walked in.

There are two wooden tablets placed in the wooden house.

The tablets are respectively engraved with 'The spiritual tablet of my beloved wife Qiao Jiuniang' and 'The spiritual tablet of Cheng Xu'.

There were remnants of incense ashes in the incense burner below, but there were no signs of recent worship.

The tributes on the offering table were already withered.

The dry air in the desert prevents these fruits from rotting, but directly dries out the moisture.

Li Lang looked at the spiritual position that Cheng Xu had set for him and sighed.

Although he didn't find Cheng Xu, he already knew the answer when he saw the spiritual statue.

When a person like Cheng Xu is completely determined to die, it is difficult to ensure that he is still alive.

Taking out a piece of cloth, Li Lang found a wooden barrel from the house and started cleaning the place.

After wiping away the dust, he took out fresh fruits and placed them in the fruit bowls under the two spiritual thrones.

When the fruit plate was moved, a crystal jade piece slipped out from under the plate cushion.

At first glance, it was arranged.

It's just that the arrangement was a little hasty.

It doesn't seem to care whether it actually falls into the hands of those who expect it.

Li Lang took it in his hand and recognized it as a special magical weapon that could retain an image.

Li Lang had seen it before in a shop specializing in magic weapons in Fangshi in Yujing City. One piece was worth three thousand gold.

Because it can not only retain an image, but also can be reused many times.

Although it has a single effect and does not improve combat effectiveness or auxiliary abilities, it is still an important magic weapon for some people.

Li Lang used his true energy to activate it, and Cheng Xu's yellow face appeared in front of Li Lang.

"Is it Xuelang?"

Cheng Xu seemed to be very determined when he spoke.

It was as if Li Lang was expected to appear here and get the jade token he left behind.

But then, after the screen paused for about three seconds, Cheng Xu said again: "Whether you are or not, just treat it as you are!"

"After all, this thing is left for you. If you don't find it, it means you don't deserve it."

Li Lang didn't pay attention to the 'arrogance' expressed in Cheng Xu's words.

At this time, the image of Cheng Xu in Li Lang's mind was that of a tall man, so a little verbal offense would not embarrass Li Lang.

"You should have guessed that the person who tricked you in Yujing City before was, yes...it was me."

As he spoke, Cheng Xu in the picture showed a playful smile.

He seemed to be a little proud.

This was quite obvious in his expression.

"I originally wanted to use your identity to tear apart the conflict between the Queen and the clan, create some opportunities for the General to take advantage of the situation, and also make the Queen feel a little more disgusted with you, such impure monks."

"This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone, but I didn't expect that you would crack it in such a simple and brutal way!"

At this point, Cheng Xu paused slightly, and his originally joking tone gradually became more serious.

"And what I didn't expect was that the relationship between the general and the queen turned out to be like that. They were monarchs and ministers, friends, and confidants, but they were not lovers, let alone mutual admirers."

"They have kept all of us in the dark and become monkeys to be played with."

"It's really... What a beauty trap! It completely takes advantage of the ambiguity and unbearability in people's hearts. When we habitually use the things between men and women to measure 'like-minded people', what kind of thing is this? Fall?"

Li Lang looked at Cheng Xu who was full of admiration as he described the 'beauty trap' that had been planned for hundreds of years, but his eyes became more complicated.

In Li Lang's heart, the head-offering scheme led and controlled by Cheng Xu was a century-old masterpiece that was no less powerful than the beauty trap.

He used a few good heads to lay the foundation for the stability of the Western Region for a decade in the future. At the same time, he also preserved Shen Xinghai and the Zhenxi Army. He used them to look back at the Central Plains and look at Yujing in the distance as a deterrent, and to force the Dagan to be riddled with holes. Continue life.

It can be said that even if the situation reaches its most corrupt state, as long as the deterrence of Shen Xinghai and the Zhenxi Army is still there, no matter how chaotic it is, it will never be completely unmanageable.

Because the queen will always have the confidence to negotiate with her opponents and enemies.

As for the Zhenxi Army, they have the entire Western Region that has been crippled as a place to herd horses and sheep. Even without the Baiyuguan as a basis, they do not need to rely on the Central Plains for supplies, and they may be able to feed them back.

"You are fine!"

"He is a man who can be made. As long as he can put down more things in his heart, he will definitely be a world-famous sword for the world."

"The world is about to be in chaos, but the king of the country has a good name, but the weather does not allow it! If you can have the posture of upholding the sky, you must do your duty!"

"I'm not trying to make you loyal, but I hope you can have the common people in your heart..."

Cheng Xu said with a relieved smile: "I almost started preaching again!"

"Actually, I don't have this qualification. When I was young, I was just a rogue like a flying eagle. It was Jiuniang who made me change my ways and become a new person. It was the general who taught me to care about the world and to sacrifice my life."

"Even so, I still can't calm myself down. Jiuniang's death is a hatred that I can't give up."

"The initial starting point of all my actions is not for my family, country and world, but for revenge."

Cheng Xu spoke in a free and easy way, but Li Lang felt that this 'friend' who had only had a two-way relationship had become clearer and more three-dimensional in his eyes.

"I left you something good."

"This is what I took out from the Heihan tribe. It is said to be a precious ancient artifact that was preserved from the time of the Golden Tent. It contains a lot of secrets."

When Cheng Xu said this, he suddenly smiled slyly: "However, I have to play a little game with you before I can give you this treasure."

"Your poems have spread all over the world, and you have a reputation as a beautiful monk."

"Then I will leave half of the poem. If you can read the second half accurately, you can find the treasure I left for you."

"Don't underestimate it. In the past many years, this thing has been regarded by the Heihan tribe as the hope of re-emerging and catching up with the Golden Horde." "Until Zhamu found another way, by organizing the Desert Black Cavalry, he fought in various places in the Western Regions. Fang looted and killed, and used various despicable methods to weaken other surrounding tribes, and then took advantage of the situation to devour and rise. This thing was put into the warehouse to eat dust and was no longer taken seriously. "

"Perhaps, the Royal Court of the Golden Tent really left some treasures, and it is unknown that this thing will carry them."

"You are a very lucky guy, maybe you can unlock the secret."

After saying this, Cheng Xu put his hands behind his back, walked a few steps and then... walked a few more steps.

After walking for dozens of steps in this way, he slowly continued: "The bright moonlight shines on the curtains of my bed. I can't sleep because I am worried about the country, so I open the window and look at the snow-capped mountains."

Li Lang waited quietly for the next step.

However, there is no more content!

This is half a limerick.

There is no literary talent, let alone much connotation.

The screen flashed, and Cheng Xu's figure completely disappeared.

If the jade piece in your hand is activated with zhenqi again, the pictures you see and the sounds you hear will remain the same as before, there will be no change.

"That's it?"

"No! Even though I, a great poet, am a parallel import, Cheng Xu's poems are too... thin!"

"Although these lines of poetry seem to express his concern for the country and the people, they do not provide any more clues except the moon, the bed, and the snow-capped mountains."

“And to connect these three, it’s easy to say, but it’s a bit too broad.”

Li Lang hugged this half of the poem and walked out of the cabin.

Wow!

There was a sound of water.

A long and narrow alien lizard with a pair of slender horns lurked in the lake, peering at Li Lang with covetous eyes.

Whoosh!
From then on, it flew towards the lake, stirring up large waves.

The lizard was also lifted out of the bottom of the lake, and landed at Li Lang's feet with a clatter.

"Horned Skink?"

"So this thing is also found in the desert?"

"However, isn't it the most timid, vigilant and good at hiding?"

"How could you take the initiative to spy on me? And be caught so easily by me?"

Li Lang grabbed the two-horned skink's tail, held it in his hand and shook it.

Although this thing is not small in size, he really doesn't have the courage.

Facing Li Lang's teasing, it opened its mouth wide and screamed like a baby, but it did not dare to turn around and bite Li Lang's wrist.

Instead, it was the jolt caused by Li Lang's hand that made him react violently.

After retching several times, a fiery ancient seal rolled down its throat.

The fiery red ancient seal bears obvious traces of the time of the Golden Tent.

This is not difficult to identify, because the iconic pattern of the Golden Tent is the golden auspicious cloud pattern.

The lines on this ancient seal are very obvious.

Li Lang looked at the ancient seal that fell to his feet and looked back at the cabin.

It attracted a stream of water and washed away the dirt on the ancient seal.

At the same time, he threw the two-horned skink back into the lake after vomiting out the ancient seal and obviously feeling much more comfortable.

The strange thing is that this thing doesn't run away.

Instead, he was half lying on the water, looking at Li Lang with curious eyes, clear and stupid.

It seemed that he wanted to see what Li Lang would do next.

Li Lang didn't pay attention to the unusual behavior of this thing. He just looked back at Cheng Xu's spiritual tablet and twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly.

Although according to Li Lang's guess, Cheng Xu has most likely been benevolent.

It should be the dead who are the most important.

But this trick... really makes people want to curse.

"This bastard! He must be playing with me!"

"You just want to see me scratching my head and thinking about the second half of the poem, and then everything goes wrong, right?"

"No wonder the first half of the poem is written in a mess, and the direction is not clear at all. The clues given are broad enough to encompass the sea."

"You're really just fooling around and giving me a wrong direction!"

"He is really revengeful. During a 'confrontation' in Beijing, his plan was completely destroyed by me. Now he is trying to deceive me and make me suffer setbacks in the field where I am most 'good'."

"In the end you may find that the answer is actually very simple and not that complicated at all."

Li Lang thought for a while, calmed down and felt that maybe Cheng Xu's purpose was not just to tease him.

But I want to really leave this thing to him.

Because if the person who gets the jade medal is not Li Lang, he will definitely be misled.

Put all your energy into how to decipher the clues in the poem.

Only Li Lang, who had fought against Cheng Xu, would have thought that he had used brutal violence to directly break the situation.

The hints Cheng Xu gave before were also very obvious.

Therefore, Li Lang, who couldn't find his direction, would eventually choose to violently turn the oasis over, and finally he would find the hidden two-horned skink.

What Cheng Xu didn't expect was that Li Lang now had a colorless and odorless spirit-inducing incense on his body.

No one can smell this fragrance, but those innate spiritual beings will notice it and be attracted to it.

This also makes the two-horned skink fall into a trap.

After cleaning the ancient seal, Li Lang took it in his hand.

Against the skylight, carefully examine the patterns.

It is like a tree-like texture, and like water splashes in a rushing river.

"It seems...where have you seen it?" Li Lang's heart moved and he took out the dust-proof bead that had a unique use.

When the ancient seal of Bichen Pearl and Jade is placed in one place.

A strong light burst out in an instant, and then enveloped Li Lang.

"Collect Tianhe Ancient Jade and be rewarded with a special shuttle."

"Start collecting important points in time that are carried."

"Anchor the nodes and start building future possibilities."

"Congratulations, candidate for ascension, you will have a chance to go to a certain possibility in the future."

When the majestic voice sounded, Li Lang also appeared under the giant tree of time and space.

The ancient seal has been integrated into the giant tree, as if it was a part of it.

"The ancient seal is a fragment of the giant tree of time and space?" Li Lang immediately thought of the answer.

Then he felt horrified: "What kind of existence can shatter the ancient tree of time and space that is based on time and space?"
