After the immortal disappeared

Fang Canran said solemnly, "Only when we have the basis of not hurting each other can we continue to talk in depth. And -"

He paused for a moment: "It is not easy to maintain such ancient and rare objects. If you use them early, you can reduce the burden early."

This guy is still afraid that he will go to Tiangong to report, so he wants to provide this kind of insurance for both parties! He Lingchuan stared at him for a long time: "With such a good thing, why did you deal with me just now?"

Fang Canran laughed, unable to explain.

Taking a few steps back, even if the two were friends rather than enemies, he still had to find out the strength of the other party.

This determines how the two parties will get along later.

Dragons mate with dragons, phoenixes mate with phoenixes, and mice’s friends can dig holes. Make friends of whatever level you belong to.

Even among our own people, they have to be divided into upper, middle and lower classes.

He Lingchuan also stabbed him, and then agreed: "Okay, sign the contract!"

Even though he had just given a verbal guarantee and took the lead in untying Fang Canran, the chief executive still felt uneasy. Relying solely on conscious promises, how can a promise made under the gaze of inner demons be any safer?

Obviously he knows very well that human words are the least trustworthy.

Fang Canran grabbed one of the handcuffs and put it on himself first with a click.

He Lingchuan grabbed the other one and put it on.

Then both of them recited their oaths, and the shackles began to glow red, with runes floating on the surface, flying up and down.

After reciting, the chain slowly disappeared, and the shackles on both men's hands turned into ordinary silver bracelets, which were worn on their wrists.

"That's good." Fang Canran's expression relaxed obviously, "From now on, we can't break our oath, otherwise we will end up miserable."

The oath did not mention that the two must be honest with each other.

Because no one wants to do this. They all have too many secrets.

Let's give each other some room.

He made tea and served it to He Lingchuan: "Why do you say that Shao Jian is related to Emperor Liujian?"

He Lingchuan dipped his hands in water and quickly wrote something on the table.

When Fang Canran looked at it, his pupils shrank suddenly, and He Lingchuan also noticed that the veins on his forehead jumped sharply.

This word, of course, is——

punishment.

The "punishment" of Xinglongzhu.

The next second, He Lingchuan wiped it off, picked up the cup and took a sip:

"Did I write it correctly?"

After the oath chain took effect, the two of them could not harm each other, and he no longer worried about Fang Canran poisoning the water.

The expression on Fang Canran's face changed, and the look in his eyes couldn't hide the shock: "You...?"

The person named He actually knows this!

This kind of detail, this kind of...

Of course, no one in Lingxu City knew about this matter, otherwise Fang Canran would not be alive.

He did not expect that the secret that his family had carefully kept for more than a hundred years would suddenly be revealed by a stranger.

A stranger of unknown origin.

It's like the roof of a solid old house that has been lived in for more than a hundred years suddenly collapsed. It doesn't feel good.

If He Lingchuan hadn't bound him to a chain of oaths, and the two parties couldn't harm each other, he would have killed and silenced him no matter what.

Regarding the secret of the Dragon Punishment Pillar, for more than a hundred years, except for a few high-level officials, anyone who touches it has been killed!

"Did you also learn this secret from the vision of that ancient city?"

He Lingchuan nodded.

Fang Canran looked deeply: "Then did you see who gave these things to Shao Jian?"

"Of course." He Lingchuan said the name silently——

"Metian."

These two words are not difficult to tell by looking at the shape of the mouth.

Fang Canran slowly leaned back on the backrest and exhaled a long breath: "Sure enough."

"you do not know?"

"Shao Jian has always been very secretive and has never mentioned the origin of these things to anyone. But I infer that they also come from this ancient god."

After the oath chain came into effect, both parties spoke more frankly, no longer beating around the bush or denying desperately.

Fang Canran stared at He Lingchuan: "Is the ancient city you mentioned... Panlong City?"

"Do you know Panlong City?"

"How could you not know?" Fang Canran smiled, "Shao Jian always goes there. Besides, I have also checked the history of this city. The reason for the final destruction of Panlong City was the same as that of Yuan Kingdom."

He sighed softly: "Mr. He, are you really here just for the elixir case in Lingxu City?"

He cared about this very much and asked the question several times.

"I have admired the name of Lingxu City for a long time, and wanted to come here to broaden my horizons and fulfill my friend's request. As for the case of the immortal medicine, at first it was just a simple case of the missing messenger. When I was entrusted by Prince Yue, I didn't know that it had anything to do with Lingxu. The city's dignitaries are hooking up." He Lingchuan told the truth, "The water here is too deep, alas. Later, Commander Bai asked me to go to Lingxu City to assist in the investigation."

"There should be many opportunities to escape in the middle, right?" Fang Canran drank tea, "Eggs touch rocks. Most people don't do such a thankless thing."

"Someone has to do it." He Lingchuan stared at him and said word by word, "Everyone cares about small profits, and there will be no great justice in the world."

"What is your friend's request?" Fang Canran focused on the key points. So handling the case is just a side trip, and completing the friend's instructions is the focus?

He Lingchuan smiled and said, "Just come over and help it do something."

"What's up?"

He Lingchuan looked at him for a long time, then asked instead: "Given Mr. Fang's background, it would be hard to go anywhere, so why do you stay in Lingxu City?"

Fang Canran is a descendant of Shao Jian. Just because this identity is discovered, the gods will teach him to die badly. So if he stayed in Lingxu City, he would actually be taking a huge risk.

Fang Canran didn't answer.

Both fell silent.

The friendship is still shallow, and it is difficult to describe its depth.

After a while, Fang Canran changed the topic: "So after these things are over, where will you go?"

"Of course I'm going to run away."

"Oh?" Fang Canran asked curiously, "So many famous families are beckoning, but you are not attracted by any of them?"

"Lingxu City doesn't suit me. It's prosperous on the surface but very dangerous in reality. It's not a place where I'll live for a long time." He Lingchuan was carrying the secret of the big square pot and didn't want to stay under the eyes of the gods for a long time. "Besides, I have offended too many noble people, so I won't stay here to hinder their eyes."

He asked again: "By the way, I really want to know what happened to Mr. Shao Jianshao in the end."

Fang Canran was stunned.

"I also want to know why you have been wearing this signet ring. It is made of ordinary material, with only two points of fine iron added, and it does not even have a storage function. Grand Master Dunyuan, there are better treasure rings to wear, right? "

Fang Canran looked at the signet ring: "It's something passed down from ancestors, the material is not important."

"What is important?" He Lingchuan asked him, "Is it a legacy?"

Fang Canran was silent for a while, and finally said: "Mr. Shao disbanded the Hongluo Chamber of Commerce when he was fifty-seven years old; three years later, he ran away after his sixtieth birthday, leaving a letter not to look for him, and his whereabouts are unknown since then; and Three years later, a bird demon flew to report that he was kidnapped, beheaded, and skinned and stuffed with grass. He was accused of blasphemy against the gods. However, he took poison and committed suicide after being arrested, so his descendants were not harmed."

He Lingchuan closed his eyes and sighed uncontrollably.

The earthen jar will inevitably break at the edge of the well, and Shao Jian will indeed be benevolent in the end.

Although He Lingchuan had already expected this outcome, and even though Shao Jian had passed away more than a hundred years ago, he still felt heavy in his heart when he heard what Fang Canran said.

After all, he and Shao Jian were drinking and eating meat in Panlong Wasteland not long ago, talking about the past and the present.

Although he never forgets the hatred between his country and his family, this man has always been optimistic about resistance, fighting, and even the future.

If you are not optimistic, how can you face such a powerful opponent and carry such a heavy burden for decades?

Shao Jian spent the second half of his life fighting almost alone.

But those who stand on the side of Panlong City seem to have a bad end, and Shao Jian has not escaped such a fate.

Fang Canran had been observing He Lingchuan's expression, and then asked, "Why are you sad for him?"

He has been a businessman for a long time and is very good at observing faces. Although this young man's sadness and sigh only lasted for a short moment, it was natural.

Besides, the two of them were talking about ancient people from more than a hundred years ago, so why did he need to lie?

He Lingchuan straightened his face and said solemnly: "Heroes are unknown. Mr. Shao has never been famous in the world, but his contribution is overwhelming. I deeply admire him."

He picked up the cup and said, "Here, let's drink to Mr. Shao."

Fang Canran had a drink with him and heard He Lingchuan continue: "I also want to ask Mr. Fang about something."

"What's up?"

"There are very few giant monsters left over from ancient times. I heard that this is the Xushan Mountain. I went to Zhaixing Tower several times to observe it, but it didn't show up." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "Is there any way to see it?"

What kind of problem is this? Fang Canran was stunned and thought for a while before saying: "The rock pool in Zhaixing Tower is just its open-air bathtub. Shanze may not necessarily stay there normally. If you want to see it right away, I'm afraid you have to offer an offering."

"Specifically, what kind of offerings must be made?"

Fang Canran's eyes flashed: "How do you think I know?"

He Lingchuan shrugged: "The Ke family often goes to Dunyuan to order strange minerals and stones. I think they are offerings to Ju Ju."

"That's true." Fang Canran read out the names of a bunch of miscellaneous items, including ores, spiritual trees, and more than a dozen of them.

With He Lingchuan's memory, he didn't need a pen to record it, but the more he listened, the more bitter his face became: "You need so many?"

And everything sounds expensive!

"Shanze's taste is very delicate and tricky." Fang Canran pointed out to him, "You don't need to feed it, just choose two or three to offer to it."

He Lingchuan looked curious: "What will happen if Juju is full? Does he feel sleepy like a human?"

"Of course, people need to digest food when they are full, and Shanze needs to digest minerals when they are full, and they both need to sleep for a short period of time." Fang Canran said with a smile, "But as far as I know, if you want it to be full and fall asleep, you only need to have enough food to sleep. An infinite amount of gold is enough.”

"Boundless Gold?" He Lingchuan lost his voice, "Could it be the sword head of the Immortal Shoan that the Ke family took away in Dunyuan?"

Fang Canran nodded: "But the amount is definitely not enough, at least twice as much."

At that time, the transaction price of the sword tip was 870,000 taels of silver. If it was twice more, it would be 2.6 million taels of silver!

Besides, boundless gold is a treasure with a price but no market. It can only be found but not sought. Usually you don’t have anywhere to buy it with your money.

If you want to feed Xiu Ju all at once, the price is so high?
