Chapter 168 Death of Xu Tianqing
Chapter 168 Death of Xu Tianqing
Guo Lingli looked at this scene with mixed feelings.
She deeply realized that this was a world full of conspiracies and tricks, and if she was not careful, she could be shattered to pieces.
Xu Tianhao, the extraordinary man who ascended from the lower world and was known as the best swordsman in the world, was now gently supporting Xu Tianqing.
Xu Tianqing's eyes focused from time to time, sometimes he could see, sometimes he couldn't, as if he was shrouded in a layer of fog, sometimes bright as stars, sometimes dim.
Her face was pale, her body was trembling slightly, she was overdrawing her life.
Xu Tianhao's eyes were red and tears welled up in them. He asked in a trembling voice, "Sister, is this half of the treasure map the half that father gave you before he died?"
Xu Tianqing raised her head with difficulty, her vision was sometimes blurry and sometimes clear.
She nodded gently, her voice so weak that it was almost inaudible: "Yes, brother, I have always kept it in my body, never left it, and never told anyone."
A hint of cruelty flashed in Xu Tianhao's eyes, and his right hand slowly raised up, finally stopping at Xu Tianqing's neck.
His fingers gradually tightened, as if hesitating about something.
Guo Lingli's heart suddenly tightened, and she opened her eyes wide, unable to believe what she saw.
Could it be that Xu Tianhao, who is praised as the best swordsman in the world, is really going to kill his own sister for the legendary treasure map?
Yin Jing was worried that she would interfere again, so he took out a talisman and said, "Don't meddle in other people's business."
After saying this, the immobilization talisman turned into a golden light, firmly fixing Guo Lingli in place.
Xu Tianqing felt the coldness and pressure coming from her neck, and her heart was filled with fear and despair.
She looked up at Xu Tianhao, her eyes full of tears and confusion: "Brother, are you going to abandon me for that treasure map too?"
There was a flash of struggle and pain in Xu Tianhao's eyes, but in the end he hardened his heart.
He said gently: "Sister, this treasure map is the root of our Xu family, it cannot be separated. Just go with peace of mind."
As Xu Tianhao increased his strength, Xu Tianqing felt a sharp pain in his neck.
She breathed with difficulty, her eyes filled with resentment and despair.
She thought of her fifty years of practice and hard work, her expectation and longing for family affection, and her protection and cherishment of the treasure map.
When Xu Tianqing was dying, his heart was filled with bitterness and self-mockery.
She felt that her life was a joke and all her efforts and hard work had gone to waste.
At this moment, her eyes were visible. She looked at Xu Tianhao's cold and resolute face, and her heart was filled with grief.
She thought about how she once trusted him and planned for him, but now she got such an outcome.
However, among all these jokes, brother Xu Tianhao is more like a joke. He can kill himself for the treasure map, which means he doesn’t know that the treasure map is fake. His ending will not be good either. She will wait for her brother’s more miserable ending with a smile in another world.
Xu Tianqing finally closed her eyes, and her body fell limply to the ground.
Guo Lingli witnessed all this, and her heart was filled with sadness. The world's praise was not the thing itself. People like Xu Tianhao were not worthy of being human!
Xu Tianhao put Xu Tianqing's cold body into his storage belt and hurriedly disappeared near the cave.
Yin Jing stood in front of Guo Lingli and gently took the talisman from her body.
A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. The world that was hard to see through and the people who were busy with their daily lives were just a treasure map that reflected all kinds of life.
"I was just thinking about what role you would stay in, and now it seems that the opportunity has come."
There was a cunning gleam in Yin Jing's eyes.
"Xu Tianqing is dead, and Xu Tianhao doesn't dare to reveal his identity, so you must be Xu Tianqing. Her death is good news for us."
Guo Lingli frowned when she heard this. She did not agree with Yin Jing's opinion.
"Even if I can't be Cheng Hao'er, I can still be Li Xinjiao. Why should I be Plum Envoy Xu Tianqing?"
She didn't want to face a brother like that one day.
"Don't you want to see the dragon bone treasure map?"
Guo Lingli was not interested in this topic.
"Do not want to."
Yin Jing looked at her in surprise. She didn't expect that she would refuse so straightforwardly.
A person is not afraid of greed, but of not being greedy.
If you are not greedy, it will be difficult to start.
He carefully looked at the little person in front of him. She was like an uncut jade. On her little face that had not yet grown up, her eyes were as bright as stars and her gaze was as clear as mountain spring.
He always felt that she was inexplicably kind sometimes, and that she only had good people in her eyes. Even if she had some calculations, she still couldn't escape the word conscience.
Weaknesses are discovered through exploration.
His eyes were deep, and with a sincere smile on his face, he said kindly: "Xiao Haozi, let's make a deal. You use the identity of Plum Envoy Xu Tianqing to send me to the leader of the Dharma Sect. This is how you repay my initial help to you. How do you do it?"
"No, what? Aren't you from the upper realm? Why are you so obsessed with the dragon bone treasure map?"
Guo Lingli still had no interest, but she was very curious, what secrets did this dragon bone treasure map have? What could make Yin Jing risk his life to feed the tiger?
"Other treasure maps are fine, but the dragon bone treasure map is the key to all treasure maps. It was created by Buddha Daotian to save the world. The catastrophe is coming, and I want to know whether these treasure maps of theirs can save the world?"
The sense of responsibility and mission shown by Yin Jing at this moment made Guo Lingli look at him with admiration.
He was not after the treasure in the dragon bone treasure map, but for the catastrophe.
She had heard about the catastrophe, but it was too far away from her to feel it.
She stared at the profile of Yin Jing, who was usually unreliable but seemed particularly serious at this moment.
The lines of his profile are elegant and smooth, from forehead to chin, every part seems to have been carefully carved. In fact, he is as handsome as a sculpture, full of quiet and profound charm, but he has always hidden it under his silly appearance.
In addition, he seemed to have a magical power that made everyone ignore his appearance. Only when he was really worried would his appearance unconsciously emerge.
Yin Jing wanted to get closer to the leader of the Dharma sect not from a personal perspective but from the perspective of the world.
This moved Guo Lingli a little, and a passion for serving the country and the people surged in her heart. The seven years of education in a different time and space made her deeply aware of the significance of serving the country with loyalty.
She remembered the words of the divine dragon that she heard in her dream in Taiji Palace. That voice had confused her before. She thought it was the dragon piercing benevolence, referring to the kindness passed down by the dragon. Later, when she went to another time and space, she realized that the divine dragon was talking about the descendants of the dragon.
"No need to trade, I'll help you."
Yin Jing's eyes suddenly brightened. He was still thinking about how to convince Guo Lingli. Why did she agree?
He looked at Guo Lingli with surprise, and struck while the iron was hot by using the mirror he was wearing to look at Guo Lingli again.
As the mirror flickered, Guo Lingli's appearance gradually turned into Xu Tianqing's.
No one noticed that a faint light flashed on the boulder where Xu Tianqing died.
Guo Lingli was somewhat curious about the magical mirror in front of Yin Jing.
"After this mirror changes my appearance, how long will it last?"
"About three years, if I don't keep helping you."
"If I die during this time, is it me who dies, or my form?"
"Itself." Silver Mirror said carefully, "So you are not allowed to die."
Guo Lingli was slightly startled, then muttered: "Xu Tianqing didn't want to die, but he died anyway."
Silver Mirror glanced in the direction of the boulder, "She was betrayed by all of life, and she just didn't want to live anymore."
Guo Lingli didn't say anything else. She knew that the most important thing now was to find the dragon bone treasure map.
She left the cave with Yin Jing. From then on, she was the plum envoy Xu Tianqing, and Yin Jing was still the zither player beside her. As for Xiao Haozi who was holding the zither, he was attacked and killed by the six-winged divine eagle.
