Chapter 377: Exchange of Tokens
What Zhong Heng said was a combination of pulling and pushing, and he skillfully grasped the heat by observing words and expressions.
What Xun Yi hates the most is this kind of sanctimonious stuff. If he hadn't been careless at the moment, he would definitely play tricks on him. Xun Yi understands that Zhong Heng will never give up until he collects the spiritual grass today, so he should simply stop talking to him.
He spent some time, and then cooperated with a look of anger and said, "The spiritual grass was discovered by senior, and it should belong to senior. I can swear from my heart that I will never leak it. This junior is a sensible person and will never do it."
Because of this, I have resentment in my heart. My senior's not killing people and silencing them is a sign of kindness. This junior shouldn't say this clearly, but since I have to rely on my senior's protection in the future, it's better to express my feelings directly. I can see that my senior is an eye-catcher.
If you don't knead the sand inside, it's not wise to make excuses in front of you."
After hearing this, Zhong Heng first showed an angry look, then nodded slowly, and said in a tolerant tone, "You are suspicious that I want to stabilize you, and then secretly collect the spiritual grass, right? It's our first time meeting, and you have such suspicions."
I can't blame you, you are brave and wise to say these words, but this time you are really smart." At this point, he sighed, looking quite embarrassed.
Xunyi looked at him and said, "Senior, just say it if you have anything to say. Junior has said such things, what else do you have to say?"
Zhongheng smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "Yes, you have already developed such suspicions. If I don't tell the truth, let alone delaying it for three years, it is useless to delay it for thirty years. In fact, I have to postpone my internship for three years."
It's a helpless move, just to gain your trust and let me see clearly what kind of person I am."
Seeing Xun Yi looking at him with confusion and anxiety, Zhong Heng felt that he could increase the heat, so after hesitating for a while, he changed his attitude and said, "I still think it's better to wait for a while, even if it's just a wait.
It’s been a year and a half.”
Xunyi smiled and said, "It's all up to senior to make the decision. I've made it clear what I need to say. If you say wait, then just wait."
"I know you can't believe me." Zhong Heng looked at him worriedly and said, "Fine, I'll tell you the truth, but let's come back in a year."
Xunyi nodded without saying anything, expressing his attitude with urgent eyes.
Zhong Heng said with a serious face, "Although I can't detect the blue-eyed spider in the cave, I have to be on guard because the green-eyed spider is indeed very powerful. The silk it spins has the magical power to entangle the two souls of heaven and earth. Once it is caught, its cultivation will be unleashed."
It's not much more than a few points, so it can easily defeat opponents with much higher cultivation levels. However, the green-eyed spider can only spin one thread. If it fights two people at the same time, it won't be able to cope with it. Do you understand?
"
"Understood." Xunyi frowned thoughtfully.
Zhong Heng continued, "This spiritual grass is at least three thousand years old, and the spiritual spider guarding it must be older than three thousand years old. If I go to act as a bait, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. In fact, I'm more impatient than you."
Well, because the value of the spiritual spider silk is higher than that of the spiritual grass. If these two treasures are taken away by others, I will definitely vomit blood in distress. I can't find anyone trustworthy in this place to help. If I can find someone, the score will be the same.
Instead of giving the treasure to others, how about you and I sharing it? After repairing your golden elixir, I will have a caring disciple, so it is worth the gamble."
Xunyi rolled his eyes and asked carefully, "There aren't two spirit spiders inside, are there?"
Zhongheng shook his head for sure.
He lowered his head and said, "A spiritual grass can only be guarded by a spiritual spider. This is absolutely true."
"Then how sure are you of defeating it?"
Zhongheng said very cautiously, "More than 80%, I have to tell you the truth. Although generally speaking, the age difference between the spirit spider and the spirit grass is not much, there are special cases. If I have a spirit spider less than five thousand years old,
There is a 100% certainty that I can kill you with one blow. It will take more than seven thousand years for me to rescue you. But after ten thousand years, neither of us will survive."
Xunyi pursed his lips and knitted his brows together.
Zhong Heng said calmly, "To kill the Spirit Spider, we have to trust each other, so I insist on waiting until we two get acquainted before coming again. Do you understand? Let's go."
Xun Yishu raised his brows and said, "No need, I trust senior. Please tell me how to make this bait. Maybe there is no spirit spider in it at all."
"Do you really trust me?" Zhong Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at him.
Xunyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not so much trustworthy as it is willing to bet. If the bet is right, not only can the golden elixir be repaired, but I can also get your protection. If you lose the bet, you will die. If you want to kill me, you can kill me at any time. I don't want to."
There is no other way to gamble. It sounds cold to say this, but the truth is this."
Zhong Heng said, "It is reasonable for you to think so, and you are being honest when you say it. However, to take this risk, I have to trust you. If you don't cooperate or become timid, then I will be in danger of losing my life."
Even if only the spider silk is destroyed, it is an unbearable loss."
"Then what am I going to do as a bait?" Xunyi frowned again.
"First of all, don't try to destroy the spider silk after being entangled in it. If you are really unlucky and encounter a spiritual spider that is more than five thousand years old, I will tell you immediately. Then we will try our best to cut off the spider silk. Secondly, after being entangled,
You have to hold on to the spider thread tightly and try your best to let it slowly drag you forward to buy me a little more time." After Zhong Heng finished speaking, he stared at him like a sword.
Xunyi met his gaze and said, "Senior, don't worry, I still have the courage, and I will never delay things."
"Are you really determined to go now?" Zhong Heng's eyes calmed down, but did not show any emotion.
"Right now!" Xun Yi replied firmly.
Zhongheng was silent for a while, and then he seemed to have finally made up his mind and took out his Qiankun bag. With a flick of his hand, he displayed a bunch of scattered things in front of Xunyi, and then he put everything back.
He handed the Qiankun bag to Xunyi, "In order to gain trust, you should take this first."
"No, no, no!" Xunyi waved his hands repeatedly.
Zhongheng held up the Qiankun bag and looked at him with burning eyes.
Xun Yi understood what he meant, so he had no choice but to take the Qiankun bag, take out his Xianzang Sword and hand it over, saying, "This junior is the one who killed for this sword, and all his belongings can only be regarded as an object. Anyway, we will meet him later."
It's useless to bother me with this skill, just use it as a token."
Zhong Heng pretended to hesitate for a moment, then smiled and said, "I shouldn't have let you get any tokens, but your sword is really good. I'm really worried that you might use it to cut the spider silk in panic, in case you hurt the spider."
The loss of silk would be too heavy, so whatever, I'll keep it for you first, and if things go bad I'll throw it to you right away." He set his sights on the sword the moment he saw Xun Yi, Xun Yi was so sensible.
Handing it over saved him from having to prepare any words. What Zhong Heng said was a combination of pulling and pushing, and he cleverly grasped the situation by observing words and expressions.
