Chapter 1269 The Ever-Changing Sacred Wax Stone

He persuaded Sihuo City to break away from Nanjun and instead ally with Wuwei City.

It was clear that Lin Qingyan was using Gu Xiu as a bargaining chip, hence the offer. Yet, her words still sounded remarkably bold.

Gu Xiu gave her a deep look: "Miss Lin, do you know the weight of these words? If they get out, you and your mother will be doomed forever."

"I know." Lin Qingyan smiled wryly.

"But Envoy Gu, do you think Sihuo City has any way out now? The holy light in the city can only last for ten days at most. Logically speaking, we should have evacuated the people in the city long ago, but Nan Jun's attitude is perfunctory, and he insists that we believe in Pei Yanzhou."

"If that person were truly capable, they wouldn't be delaying like this. Yet Pei Yanzhou keeps stalling, and the Holy Flame Palace is helping him. If it weren't for the fact that the Holy Light Core can't be confirmed until it's unearthed, I would even have my doubts..."

"Nan Jun, are we going to abandon Si Huo City?"

Gu Xiu's eyes were dark. He naturally knew that Nan Jun not only wanted to abandon Si Huo City, but also wanted to destroy Zi Wei Yuan.

But he didn't say it directly, at least not now.

Even though Lin Qingyan's attitude is firm now, she is, after all, just a young master of Sihuo City with little real power. The one who can truly control everything is still the Sihuo City Lord, whose power has been suppressed.

Therefore, he would not rashly reveal the matter of the barrier blood sacrifice before he could ascertain the attitude of the City Lord of Si Huo.

Seeing that Lin Qingyan was still waiting expectantly for his response, Gu Xiu hesitated for a moment and nodded:

"Okay, I promise you."

"However, we still need to consider the specifics of how to proceed."

"You're doing this..."

Half an hour later, Lin Qingyan, having received Gu Xiu's order, took her leave in a hurry.

Seeing her leave, Sui Xing, who had been listening nearby, finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Gu boy, do you think she'll really help us?"

"Will do."

"Huh?" Suixing asked in surprise, "How can you be so sure?"

Gu Xiu smiled: "Although she is the young city lord, it is definitely not something she could do to secretly come to see me when she has been ordered to stay at home."

"You mean... she came to see you on behalf of the Fire Snake?"

"It may not be an explanation; it may just be adding fuel to the fire. But either way, it shows that the situation in Sihuo City is not optimistic."

Sui Xing suddenly realized something and began to feel a sense of anticipation.

Gu Xiu didn't think much of it and instead took out a few pieces of holy wax stone to study.

This was taken from an abandoned mine that Pei Yanzhou didn't want. He had mined quite a few of these things in Wuwei City before, and they were all good. Now he wanted to study them to see if there was any mystery involved.

It's just a pity.

The sacred wax stone is indeed mysterious. Although it is not thick and solid, it can block all detection. No matter whether Gu Xiu uses his divine soul power or his profound power, he cannot detect the slightest thing inside.

Gu Xiu was not disappointed.

After all, the Three Enclosures Sea of ​​Sin has existed for so long, there must be quite a few people studying the Sacred Wax Stone. It's impossible for me to expect to unravel its mysteries in a short time.

It was just unexpected.

Gu Xiu was studying it when Shi Siling, who had been quiet to the side, suddenly sniffed, as if she was sniffing something. At first, Gu Xiu didn't notice, but later he realized that Shi Siling's eyes were fixed on the holy wax stone in her hand.

"You want this?" Gu Xiu asked, puzzled.

Shi Siling was about to nod, but then shook her head, which made Gu Xiu even more curious: "Can you see what's going on here?"

Shi Siling nodded, then shook her head.

This……

what's the situation?

"It will change, it's always changing."

Just then, Shi Siling spoke up timidly. When she saw that Gu Xiu looked over and wasn't angry, she pointed at the Sacred Wax Stone again: "It keeps changing."

Constantly changing?

Gu Xiu was puzzled. After a moment's thought, he asked, "You mean to say that the inside of this stone is constantly changing?"

“Yes!” Shi Siling nodded repeatedly.

"How did you figure that out?" Gu Xiu asked.

"Feel……"

"Feel?"

"Hmm~" Shi Siling hummed softly.

Gu Xiu roughly understood that this should also be something she had inherited, because with her current intelligence, she couldn't explain how her inheritance worked, so she could only describe it as a feeling.

Since it's an inherited ability, it shouldn't be wrong.

only……

What does it mean that this sacred wax stone keeps changing?

Does this mean that things aren't necessarily good or bad?

Rather, it's that the internal situation is constantly changing, sometimes good and sometimes bad?

This reminded Gu Xiu of the rumors about the Holy Wax Stone. Whether the Holy Wax Stone is good or bad cannot be discerned from its appearance. No matter what kind of being or what kind of ability, no one can tell whether the Holy Wax Stone is good or bad before it is activated.

This is problematic in itself.

If there are differences, then it is impossible for them to be without any clues or logic.

When Gu Xiu was traveling in the human world, he once encountered a stone in a small country that contained jade. That stone also had a stone skin, making it difficult to distinguish. It was said that only after cutting it out could one determine whether there was jade inside.

But in reality, that's just a saying.

Those who frequently deal with jadeite rough can distinguish it to some extent, even without cutting it open. They may not be able to identify the quality of the cracks, but they can at least tell whether there is jadeite inside.

Even ordinary people can achieve this level of skill.

How many years has the Three Enclosures Sea of ​​Evil existed? How many generations of people have studied the Sacred Wax Stone?

So many generations of people have been unable to tell the difference; are they really that stupid?

I'm afraid not.

and……

The same applies to the Sacred Wax Stones that Pei Yanzhou previously opened in Wuwei City.

If the quality of the sacred wax stones was determined when they were mined, then even with the most powerful blessing, Pei Yanzhou shouldn't have been so lucky as to bring all the good sacred wax stones to Wuwei City during the excavation.

This is already a bit of an exaggeration.

But what if the sacred wax stone itself is constantly changing between good and bad?

That would be a different story.

Because the sacred wax stone is constantly changing between good and bad, it is indeed possible that it will be blessed by good fortune and be opened at a good time.

"Knock knock knock!"

Just then, the knocking sounded again, accompanied by a voice chanting:

"Lord Si Huo hosted a grand banquet at the City Lord's Mansion to welcome the Wuwei envoy!"

Shi Siling opened the door and saw a large procession outside, bowing respectfully and waiting, giving Gu Xiu, the envoy from Wuwei, full respect.

It's time for dinner.

Gu Xiu naturally didn't dawdle. With a wave of his hand, he collected all the sacred wax stones. After straightening his clothes and making sure everything was in perfect order, he stepped forward and followed the honor guard out of the post station.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw a crowd gathered on both sides. When they saw Gu Xiu, they started discussing him, still focusing on his role as the envoy.

Gu Xiu didn't seem to care. He simply straightened his back, accepting everyone's attention, and headed towards the city lord's mansion.

On the way, Gu Xiu suddenly turned around and looked at the crowd.

But then he saw several officials dressed in the robes of the Sacred Flame Palace staring at him with cold, stern expressions, their eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent and a hint of schadenfreude.

soon.

Gu Xiu knew exactly what they were gloating about.

"Envoy Gu, the City Lord's Mansion is a vital area of ​​Si Huo City. No one is allowed to enter with weapons, so we need to search you." As soon as Gu Xiu arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, a guard holding a long sword stopped him, his attitude upright and meticulous.

There seemed to be nothing wrong, but Gu Xiu could see the malice and ridicule hidden in the other person's eyes.

Sure enough, the other party said:

"We request that Special Envoy Gu remove all clothing and submit to inspection."
