Chapter 245: A map of rivers and mountains
The storage bag of the man in black.
When he first arrived in Dongdu, Zhang Hong helped him get into the academy. At that time, he was young and proud, and thought he could not owe others a favor, so he gave the storage bag he took from the man in black to Zhang Hong's daughter Zhang Liangyu.
And now, this storage bag appeared in the hands of the abbot of Dabei Temple.
Zhang Hong claimed that he was expelled from Dabei Temple, but he was still able to mobilize the power of Dabei Temple, so it is very likely that he handed over this storage bag on his own initiative.
There were things in there that he didn't dare take.
Zhao Yushu quickly analyzed the cause and effect.
If I could do it again, would I still give the storage bag away? Maybe I would still do so, but the past is the past, and there is no point in dwelling on it.
"look familiar?"
"Of course the things I gave away looked familiar."
"It seems that Mr. Zhao didn't open it before giving it to others."
"My cultivation is still shallow, I can't open it."
"You are quite frank, would you like me to tell you what is inside?"
"What can it be? It's nothing more than a heavenly treasure." Zhao Yushu answered nonchalantly.
Yan Hui's hands tightened subconsciously, and Zhao Yushu knew that he had made the right bet. Zhang Hong got involved in Shen Qi's kidnapping case because he was thinking about an earth-level treasure given by Shen Dabao. In other words, if there was only an earth-level treasure in the storage bag, he would most likely happily give it directly to his daughter.
The things he dared not take were either extremely terrifying secrets of the underworld or heavenly treasures. The chances were 50-50, so he decided to take a gamble.
"Donor Zhao is really very open-minded. He gave away something that everyone in the world wants but cannot get, as if this world has nothing to do with you."
Zhao Yushu raised his eyelids: "Duke Yue once offered 500,000 taels per year to buy his son's life. If it's not enough, he can add more."
Yan Hui didn't say anything.
"But I chopped Wang Shaolin to pieces for the sake of the mere mortals he mentioned, which is what you call the people of the world. That's why you have the opportunity to talk to me about this. Otherwise, Master, would you dare to come to the academy to see me?"
Yan Hui seemed stunned. Apart from the old madman, even Gu Changfeng wouldn't dare to talk to him like that.
At this distance, what good would it do him to anger me? Even if the old madman was standing outside the cell door, he would not be able to stop me from attacking.
So Yan Hui opened the storage bag and took something out of it.
Zhao Yushu only felt that the five magic weapons in his body let out a wail at the same time, and immediately became motionless. Only Madam Xu was extremely angry and tried desperately to mobilize a trace of spiritual power, but it was in vain.
His spiritual power was imprisoned.
But when he looked at Yan Hui, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Yan Hui's vast aura also disappeared, and he looked like an ordinary old monk.
The thing slowly opened, and ink outlined a series of towering mountains.
A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains!
"A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains is a treasure of heavenly rank. Only people of great virtue can possess it. Except for those of royal blood, anyone else will become a mortal in front of it. It should be in the hands of the current emperor. It was lost from the palace twenty years ago. Zhao Yushu, why is it in your hands?"
This is the royal family's trump card. No matter you are the Sword Saint of Mount Shu or a deity on land, when you have ideas about the emperor, as long as you open this map, you will be like a fish at the mercy of others.
With a snap, the scroll closed and the five magic weapons regained their vitality, but Zhao Yushu felt that there was something strange about Mrs. Xu that he couldn't explain.
Yan Hui was sweating profusely, as if opening the scroll had taken up all his energy, and even his breathing became heavier.
Zhao Yushu noticed the problem. A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains is indeed very powerful, but if it was really that powerful, it would not have been lost in the palace coup twenty years ago. The old monk said that only people of royal blood can use it, but he did not say that only the emperor can use it.
In addition, Prince Fu hid Madam Xu in the map, intending to find an excuse to present it to the emperor someday, and then kill the emperor directly. But this map is useless to the royal bloodline. Prince Fu is just a mortal, how can he have the confidence to kill Nei Jing with Madam Xu?
The old monk is not honest and is full of lies.
But then again, this diagram is indeed effective for myself and Yan Hui as well. It can seal spiritual power and even Madam Xu's. It is truly worthy of the Heavenly Rank.
"Mr. Zhao, can you tell me where this storage bag came from?"
"What if I don't tell you?"
"Killing Wang Shaolin is a small matter. For your teacher's sake, I will give you a few more words of advice and the matter will be over."
Now it’s bribery, and later it will be coercion.
As expected, Yan Hui held the scroll in front of him and said, "If the emperor knew that this painting was in your hands, death would be a mercy. Your teacher cannot save you."
Yan Hui stood up and said, "Master Zhang will soon arrive in Xijing. You don't have much time to think about it."
Heavy footsteps were heard and slowly faded away, and the prison returned to silence.
Zhao Yushu couldn't sleep and was quickly thinking about a few questions in his mind.
The most important thing is whether the emperor has already known about this matter. After all, according to the information revealed by Old Man Wuxi on the way, the old monk went to Xijing first.
Another question is whether the teacher knew about this. Most likely, he didn’t know. If he knew, there is a 99% chance that he would have snatched it from the old monk.
As long as anyone from the academy came to the Tianlao, he could reveal the news. He didn't mind letting people from the academy know his secret when it was absolutely necessary. Once the teacher knew about it, Yan Hui's threat would become empty words.
So he was sure that no one from the academy could contact me!
The teacher was pinned down.
Zhao Yushu quickly calculated that the old monk had lied again. Zhang Tianshi was not about to arrive in Xijing, but had already arrived in Xijing, so Yan Hui had the opportunity to come to see him alone.
In this case, before the emperor is ready to take action against him, everyone he meets is the enemy of the academy.
The sun cannot be seen in the sky prison, and the torches are always lit, so one can only calculate time by feeling.
The breakfast brought by the jailer was a rich meal consisting of porridge, salted eggs and meat buns.
"I want to see Qiuzi King Li Jian." Zhao Yushu picked up the bun and said, but the jailer did not respond.
Zhao Yushu didn't ask any further questions and continued eating the buns. This was just a test.
Li Jian is here.
Zhao Yushu felt a chill in his heart.
"Brother Zhao! Are you doing well on your journey?!" Li Jian was very happy and didn't look like he was pretending.
"Fortunately, no one gave me a hard time. I even almost slipped away a few times, haha."
"Don't worry, my father said that he won't punish you severely. I think I will be at the border for two years at most and I will be back. I will just treat it as a training."
Zhao Yushu smiled and nodded.
"I also brought you something delicious." Li Jian put down the food box in his hand: "You treated me to delicious food from Jiangnan before. This time I asked the chef in the palace to make some delicious food for you to try."
Zhao Yushu looked at him with a smile: "You seem very happy."
"Of course I'm happy to see that you're okay. By the way, what did you call me here for?"
"I want to ask something."
"You said."
"My teacher has been stopped outside, and with your status, it may not be easy to come here. What did your father, the emperor, promise you?"
