Chapter 1836 A compromise
Nangong Zhen said: "But don't worry, I don't need you to risk the puzzle. I will put the slate together, as long as you translate the cipher text."
Old Liu looked at Nangong Zhen: "Are you sure that you are doing the right thing?"
Nangong Zhen's face darkened: "Are you doubting me?"
Old Liu smiled and picked up the two stone slabs butt them together: "Please take a look!"
Without waiting for Nangong Zhen to speak, Lao Liu took apart the slate again, turned it around twice and put it back together again: "Look again!"
Nangong Zhen's eyes suddenly widened: "Why is the secret text different?"
Old Liu said: "The stone slabs here look like they were smashed with heavy palms, but in fact they were carefully split. Many stones can be spliced in different ways. There are endless ancient cipher texts that can be pieced together.
same."
"Friend, are you still determined to do it your way?"
Nangong Zhen muttered to himself, "Did they have so much time in the first place?" Then he realized that he had made a mistake and quickly kept silent.
Nangong Zhen was silent for a while and then asked: "How confident is Master Liu that he can spell out the stone gate and translate the cipher text on the gate?"
Lao Liu shook his head and said, "I'm not sure!"
"I can't guarantee that I can put together the entire picture in one go."
Night Owl was so anxious at Old Liu's words that he blinked repeatedly, meaning that Old Liu should quickly change his words.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Zhen actually laughed and said: "Master Liu is indeed sincere in the transaction."
"You can go ahead and piece together the cipher text. We have plenty of people here who will die for you."
Nangong Zhen raised his hand and patted the air twice. After a while, the sound of shackles mopping the floor was heard in the mist. When Old Liu Xunsheng looked over, a group of people tied in shackles were already walking in the distance.
Although those people are all disheveled, it can be seen from their muscles and bones that they all have hard work.
Are these the warlocks who fell into the Yin Yang Inn?
Nangong Zhen glanced at the prisoners with disdain: "These are the thieves in the bandit territory, and all of them deserve to die. Master Liu doesn't have to have any scruples, he can just go ahead and do whatever he wants."
As soon as Nangong Zhen finished speaking, he heard someone in the crowd snort: "They say we are a rooster-crowing and a rooster-rooster robbers. What are your detective skills? Are we not just a rooster-crowing and a rooster-rooster?"
Nangong Zhen wasn't angry either: "Master Liu, use him first! This guy won't die even if you use him ten or eight times."
When Lao Liu looked at the other person curiously, he saw that the man had a pair of hands that were obviously much smaller than his wrists.
"Baishou thief, Zhang Baishou!" Old Liu couldn't help but condense his eyes.
Rumor has it that when Zhang Baishou reached the age of five or six, he was already much taller than other children of the same age. He looked like a teenager, except that his hands had not grown much. They looked like
Someone cut off his original hands and put a pair of child's hands on his wrists.
Even Zhang Baishou's biological parents believed that he was disabled and felt that keeping him would be a waste of food. They cruelly sold him to an acrobatic troupe.
It was at this time that Zhang Baishou met the person who changed his destiny - the Holy Lord of Samsara.
When the Holy Lord of Samsara saw the opponent's hands, he was ecstatic for a moment, saying that his was a "treasure-grabbing hand" that was rare to see in a century, and it was also a hand born to be a thief.
The Holy Lord of Samsara bought Zhang Baishou and sent him into the trap of stealing. In just five years, his hands could change into ever-changing "artifacts" that could kill people and steal treasures without any disadvantage.
Rumor has it that Zhang Baishou's most powerful move is called "Heart Stealing". He can dig out people's hearts from their cavities with his bare hands, but the victim's body can still maintain a bleeding state. It was not until the autopsy was performed that the victim's body was still bleeding.
You know, the deceased had his heart ripped out.
At that time, the acrobatic team that Zhang Baishou worked for, including his biological parents, all died due to the "stealing of hearts".
It was because Zhang Baishou's hands were so famous that Old Liu could recognize his identity at a glance.
Zhang Baishou sneered and said: "I didn't expect that after I have been missing for so many years, someone still knows my name."
Lao Liu did not answer the other party, but directly turned his attention to Nangong Town.
Nangong Zhen smiled and said: "Master Liu, although you and I have reached cooperation, none of us trusts the other."
"Especially me, I don't trust you two even more."
"I think it will be easy to kill the general, but I'm afraid that after killing the general, the two of you will destroy your contract."
Dark Night Owl said solemnly: "We can sign a contract."
Nangong Zhen shook his head and said: "In this place, the law of heaven is absent, and ghosts and gods don't care. Contracts and blood oaths are just like a piece of waste paper."
Zhang Baishou sneered and said: "Everyone who entered the inn back then thought that the contract of the inn could protect them, but in the end no one could escape from his vicious hands."
"Nangong Zhen, actually, I pity you."
"You can rule the roost in the inn, but you don't dare to go out. Once outside, the contract back then will bite you, and your life will be worse than death."
Nangong Zhen wasn't angry either: "Zhang Baishou, you'd better save yourself! In a moment, you will be the one who is worse off than dead."
Old Liu frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Nangong, what method do you want to use to fulfill the agreement between us?"
Nangong Zhendao: "Of course it's a compromise!"
