I Can’t Be a Sword God

"Little sister, why don't you let the elder brother let you go if the elder brother gives you a unique skill? The elder brother will perform a seven-step poem for you, listen..."

In the main hall of the old city, the First Prince turned around and faced the entrance of the main hall, walked forward, and chanted in his mouth at the same time.

"Boiling the beans burns the Osmunda japonica, and the beans weep in the cauldron. They grow from the same root, so when they are fried together, Mrs. He..."

"Certainly."

Just when he took one step, two steps, and three steps... Seeing that he was about to walk out of the palace gate in seven steps, when Li Chu raised his finger, the eldest prince's body froze in place.

"Hmph, want to run? How easy is it?" Ye Leng'er snorted, "Even if I don't kill you this time, I will put you in prison and imprison you. I can't let you go out and do evil again."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Li Chu again and thanked him earnestly: "Xiao Daoist Li, this time is really thanks to you. Without you... I am afraid that my life and death this time will be unpredictable. There is no repayment for saving my life, only... "

Hearing the familiar lines, Li Chu was about to raise his hand subconsciously, and the words "No need" came to his lips subconsciously, as if forming muscle memory.

But Ye Leng'er did not follow the words, but continued: "The only way is to help you find the star beads and fulfill your master's wish. Don't worry, although there are many of them in the old city, I am not a vegetarian." Yes. Big brother and the two venerables from the Alien Demon Sect have been eliminated, and I can quickly control the rest of the situation. At that time, I will gather the strength of the whole city. As long as the star beads appear in the old city, it will be very fast I can bring it in front of you."

"That's why I would like to thank Miss Ye first."

Li Chu raised his hand in the air without hesitation, and it naturally turned into a fist to express his gratitude. He didn't know whether it was the intention or to ease the embarrassment.

When passing by the entrance of the main hall, he saw the first prince's eyes rolling wildly, as if he had a strong desire to express himself.

"You want to talk?" Li Chu saw his intention and gently unfastened part of the body.

The eldest prince immediately shouted: "Xiao Daoist, are you looking for the star beads? I know, I know where the star beads are!"

"Huh?" Li Chu's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied, "Tell me carefully."

"A few days ago, there was indeed a star bead in the old city. It is said that this thing is a treasure that fell from the fairy world, and it was sold at a very high price. Take it and give it to Patriarch Tenghe!"

Hearing this, Li Chu nodded slightly.

It seems that if we don't look for this Tenghe Patriarch, it will be impossible...

"Then where is he now?"

"I don't know..." The eldest prince was eager to survive, and he knew everything, "The ancestor Tenghe has lived in the world for a long time, and he has been extremely cautious in his actions. He has never shown his real body in Bulaocheng. It is all because Venerable Shrimp and Venerable Crab Those who follow me to do business, even if there is an urgent message, at most one of the most trusted Venerable Turtles will be sent. And its own hiding place has never been known."

"Then where are your treasures?" Li Chu asked again.

"I gave it to Venerable Xuangui when I met him, and entrusted him to hand it over to Patriarch Tenghe." The eldest prince's voice trembled, "If you want star beads, Xiao Daoist, I can help you, I will help you go Find out the location of Patriarch Tenghe!"

"Um……"

Li Chu pondered for a while, but still didn't speak.

Ye Leng'er rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "If Patriarch Tenghe acts so cautiously, how easy is it for you to inquire about him? If you don't do it well, you'll scare the snake away."

The eldest prince was shocked and said: "Little sister, you can't do this! How about giving big brother a chance to take the blame and make meritorious service?"

"Don't worry..." Ye Leng'er waved his hand, "I will naturally give you this opportunity. It's just...that's what I want to do."

She smiled sweetly, sly and beautiful.

...

"She wants to exchange the holy object for the star beads?"

The next day, on the top floor of a tavern in the Old City, Venerable Xuangui looked at the eldest prince in surprise.

This is the joint location they agreed on, and he thought he could see the sacred object directly this time. Unexpectedly, what they were waiting for was news of the deaths of Venerable Shrimp and Venerable Crab, and a request for a trade.

"Yes..." The First Prince nodded repeatedly.

Around his waist hung an inconspicuous small jade bell, so naturally he didn't dare to make any extra moves.

Concealing the existence of Li Chu, only saying that Ye Leng'er killed the two venerables with the holy object, and then proposed to exchange the holy object for the star beads. This is Ye Leng'er's strategy.

Although Li Chu can track everything with his spiritual sense now, there are still some supernatural means in the world that can block the detection of his divine sense. For example, Liu Fufeng's spiritual sense in Jixiang Mansion was once blocked by the Golden Bodhisattva. So just to be on the safe side, he still gave the eldest prince an amulet.

As long as the First Prince makes any misdeeds, or tries to get the Xing Sui Talisman out of the ten-foot range of him, a meteor will fall from the sky. The First Prince, who had smelled the fragrance of Venerable Shrimp and Venerable Crab at close range, naturally understood the gold content of Li Chu's hand, and immediately nodded like a chicken eating rice.

The next day, I came here to convey the transaction request with Venerable Turtle, of course, in the name of Ye Leng'er.

"You should clarify first, how did Venerable Shrimp and Venerable Crab die?" Venerable Turtle was still extremely shocked by the news.

"It was killed by my little sister with a holy object." The eldest prince replied.

"What is that sacred object? It can make her kill two Venerables so easily?" Venerable Turtle asked.

"..." The eldest prince was silent for a while, and then said: "I didn't see clearly when they died."

This is the truth, he really didn't see it clearly.

"That sacred object is so powerful, your little sister is going to exchange it for star beads?" Venerable Turtle was still very surprised.

The eldest prince wondered why you talk so much nonsense, old bastard... But there is no way to deceive people, so he could only explain patiently: "The star bead is the legendary treasure of the fairy world, maybe it has some magical effect that has never been known. My little sister said that as long as she gets the star bead, she will not only hand over the holy object, but also directly withdraw from the dispute in the city of immortality and go away here."

"It's just...she hopes to trade with Patriarch Tenghe in person."

"The sacred object is what the ancestor longed for, and we don't know what magical effect the star bead has. If it can be exchanged like this, it's not a bad idea..." the eldest prince continued to persuade.

"That's actually..." Venerable Xuangui nodded, his face darkened, and he seemed to have something on his mind. After a pause, he said: "I'll go back and report this matter to the ancestor. How to deal with it must be decided by the ancestor."

"Okay..." The First Prince felt guilty and didn't want to say more.

Both men ended the meeting with a worried look.

After Venerable Xuangui left the old city, he landed on the hill where the cave is located. After standing for a while, he reached out to take off the small green hat on his head, flipped his hand, and took out a deep star bead from it.

"Hey!" He sighed heavily, "I was so obsessed with ghosts back then, I actually swallowed this star bead privately. Now if the ancestor knows about this, I will inevitably be punished, what should I do?"

Patriarch Tenghe has always acted cautiously, and has always passed news to outsiders through Venerable Xuangui. Taking advantage of this position, he often cheated and filled his own pockets.

But this time... If Patriarch Tenghe knew, all the benefits that the First Prince gave him were all kicked back by Venerable Turtle...

That's not enough to eat and walk around.

Venerable Turtle was in a trance all the way, then put the star beads back to their original place, and walked slowly back to the vicinity of the cave.

It just so happened that a figure flashed in front of him at this moment, and he called out, "Brother Gui?"

It was none other than Hei Lanzi.

There are many restrictions imposed by Patriarch Tenghe here, even Venerable Xuangui has to walk carefully, so he didn't see any strangeness.

But when Venerable Xuangui saw Hei Lanzi, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother Heilan, brother Heilan, I happen to have something to do and I want to ask you to help me!" Venerable Xuangui stepped forward and pleaded repeatedly.

"Huh?" Hei Lanzi was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?"

Venerable Xuangui took off his hat again, and took out the star bead with his hands, "Brother Heilan, can you recognize this?"

Hei Lanzi saw that a bead was actually taken out from Xuan Gui's head, his eyes widened in shock, and he pointed at him: You... this thing..."

When he realized that it was a star bead, his surprise turned into horror. After all, this thing inevitably reminded him of the name, "Where did you get this thing from?"

"Oh, Brother Heilan, this thing is because it was not a good thing... Someone wanted to dedicate this thing to the ancestor before, but it was swallowed up by my brother... for a while. Now someone wants to exchange the sacred object with the ancestor. This thing, if I want to report this matter, won’t it be exposed? But the ancestor attaches great importance to sacred objects, and this matter cannot be deceived.”

"So after much deliberation, I have only one plan." Venerable Xuangui dragged him and begged, "Brother Heilan, give me a hand!"

"This... how do you want me to help you?" Hei Lanzi asked.

Venerable Xuangui said: "I would like to invite Brother Heilan... to act as the ancestor."
