Rules of Heaven - C16
Wu Yu? I don’t know what she was doing in the morning.
Ding Hong nodded.
The big man laughed and suddenly slapped the table, scaring the other people who were eating. He said, “I owed that little girl a favor last time, and I’m returning it this time.”
Ding Hong looked at him strangely. He didn’t know what favor he owed Wu Yu. He asked, “Why do you owe her a favor?”
The big man smiled in embarrassment and scratched his head. He said, “Don’t mention this, don’t mention this.” He paused, “The little girl said she went home alone today, so you don’t need to send her. If you want to find her, you can find her by boat and travel twenty thousand kilometers east. ”
“Cough.” Ding Hong suddenly felt as if the porridge he had just drunk was stuck in his throat as he coughed non-stop.
The big guy chuckled a few times, “Brother Ding, I, Wang Han, originally had nothing to do. Plus, I owe that little girl a favor last time, so I agreed to accompany you around the Sky Region. I have a good companion along the way.”
Ding Hong finally regained his breath and looked at him. He suddenly remembered that his current position was indeed a little strange. If there was someone around to protect him, it was unknown whether or not they were still monitoring him. However, from the recent events, he could not easily trust others either.
Seeing Ding Hong’s expression, Wang Han knew that he didn’t believe him. He took out a small bag from his bosom. It was the bag that Wu Yu wanted to use as a pearl fashion the day before.
“Then you can trust me.” He placed the bag in front of Ding Hong. “The little girl told me to give this to you. She said that you have to take it even if you don’t need it.”
At this time, the waiter tremblingly handed the items the big man wanted to him, then hurriedly turned around and left.
The man who called himself Wang Han looked at the fleeing waiter and laughed, but ignored him. He ate a few mouthfuls of beef and drank some wine.
The bag looked exactly the same as the one Wu Yu used yesterday. Inside the bag were a few large pearls. Ding Hong took the bag, but still wasn’t sure if it was Wu Yu’s.
At this moment, a small group of people suddenly came up from downstairs and stood in front of Ding Hong. A steward who seemed to be leading the group said: “Young Master, Third Boss has called for you to go to the Heavenly King Tower. There are some important matters he wishes to discuss with you.”
The Heavenly King Tower’s Ding Hong had passed by yesterday as well. It was a massive tower that was over two hundred feet tall. However, he did not pay much attention to it since it was night. He suddenly remembered that the direction that Fu Gongyi came from yesterday seemed to be the direction of the Heavenly King Tower.
Ding Hong nodded his head, indicating that he understood.
The man continued: “I have prepared a sedan for young master, please go.”
Wang Han took a big gulp of wine, looked at the couple and laughed. “Laozi’s message is that there’s a connection between them, why are you here so soon?”
Ding Hong frowned and glanced at him, not knowing what he was planning to do.
The middle-aged man ignored Wang Han, bowing to Ding Hong and said, “Young Master, please take the palanquin and head to Sky King Tower.”
Ding Hong stood up and was about to follow them to the Sky King Tower when Wang Han suddenly moved his hand. Ding Hong felt a weight on the back of his head and immediately lost consciousness. Wang Han turned around, grabbed Ding Hong and was about to leave through the window.
However, the middle-aged man’s expression didn’t change, as if he had already known that Wang Han would do this. He opened his hand into a claw and grabbed towards Wang Han’s waist.
Wang Han glanced around and saw the middle-aged man’s movements. He chuckled, and his body miraculously dodged the middle-aged man’s hand in the air and jumped out of the window. Even though he was holding onto Ding Hong, he was like a gust of wind as he jumped onto the rooftop across the street. With a few leaps, he disappeared from sight.
The middle-aged man didn’t move, he only looked in the direction Wang Han left.
When the people eating nearby saw this scene, they had already fled far away, afraid of being caught up in it.
However, on another table near the window, there was a white-clothed person wearing a white veil bamboo hat. He drank his tea alone the entire time, as if nothing in the world could affect him.
Only when he saw that Ding Hong had been taken away by Wang Han did he sigh. He put down the teacup in his hand and asked in a low voice, “Why did he suddenly run away?”
The sound was as clear as the sound of water striking glaze. The crisp sound never stopped. It was actually a woman’s voice!
The middle-aged man bowed and said: “Miss, all those loyal to Ding Tian’s enmity have been secretly taken care of. Third Boss returned the blood bottle to Ding Hong and it could also be considered as repaying Ding Tian’s saving grace. So the person who saved Ding Hong should not be someone from the dark market.”
The woman made an ‘oh’ sound and asked curiously, “No wonder why the Ding Clan was annihilated back then … Are there any other powers?”
Middle-aged man thought about the woman’s question and said to the people behind: “Go and block the main roads. Don’t let other people in! Surround them and surround them!”
The few people behind him hastily replied, as they each headed in different directions.
Then he turned around and said, “This little one doesn’t know. The dark market has been separated from Ju-Cha for nine years, and no longer has the ability to gather information like Ju-Cha has. ”
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, “If I may ask, if the Heavenly Talisman is really that important, why didn’t the cultivation sects come and take it away?”
The girl’s gaze froze, and the surrounding air seemed to turn cold all of a sudden. The middle-aged man felt as if he had fallen into an icehouse. Cold air entered his bone marrow and he could not stop trembling.
He hastily shouted, “Please spare my life, Miss!”
The woman harrumphed. The middle-aged man felt his body heat up again, and he almost fell down.
The woman looked at the middle-aged man and said, “If you want to come back, that is the only thing you can do!” After she finished speaking, her body turned into a streak of black mist and disappeared.
When the middle-aged man saw the woman disappear, his expression couldn’t help but change. He muttered: “Shadow Talisman … To think that the Curse feels capable of creating a Shadow Talisman …”
He suddenly stood up and said with a gloomy face, “Ding Hong, if you want to run, you can only go through the sea. At that time…” He snorted, turned around, and walked downstairs.
After a while, he suddenly looked around from the bottom of the stairs. When he found nothing abnormal, he left with a dark expression. After the inn owner saw that the group of fiends had left, he let out a long sigh of relief before hurriedly calling out to the guest. After a while, more people came and went in the inn.
On the third floor of the inn, Wang Han placed the wide-eyed Ding Hong in the room opposite of where the two of them were just standing. There was something stuck in the floor, and the voices of the people eating on the second floor could actually be heard clearly.
The people downstairs were only discussing what had just happened.
When Wang Han saw that the opportunity was about right, he pointed to the air and Ding Hong could suddenly move. Wang Han smiled and said, “Brother Ding, please forgive us for the reason behind what happened just now.”
Ding Hong, through the strange object on the floor, naturally heard the entire conversation between the woman and the middle-aged man. His face was pale. Originally, his nature was simple and honest. But now that he had encountered such a dangerous situation, he really didn’t know how to deal with it.
Looking at Ding Hong’s expression, Wang Han knew that his heart had already been shaken and did not continue to urge him. He had originally wanted to use his final trump card to allow him to follow Ye Xiwen, but who would’ve thought that something like this would actually happen? Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Ding Hong came back to his senses and asked, “What are you laughing about?”
Wang Han suddenly stopped laughing, and did not answer his question. His face became serious as he asked, “In today’s situation, the dark market has already made it clear that they want to take your life, and that Wu Tian Tower will not help you anymore. In short, do you want to leave or not? ”
Hearing these words, Ding Hong unconsciously clenched his hands into fists. His nails dug deep into his flesh, causing bright red blood to flow out. He lowered his head, and said after a long while in a deep voice, “Why are they doing this? I’m afraid the extermination of the Ding Clan nine years ago and the death of my grandfather were all related to them? ” An incomparably huge hatred suddenly filled his heart. That hatred filled every part of his body, as if it already had life, and was slowly occupying every part of his body. Suddenly, a spot of light lit up in his heart. The light quickly spread out and turned into a smooth surface of ice. Slowly, waves of white light appeared on the surface of the light and enveloped his body. In his heart, a calm voice suddenly recited, “Your body is a Bodhi tree, and your heart is like a mirror.” Wipe away the dust all the time. ”
Although there was no expression on Wang Han’s face, his heart was already on guard. He was countless years older than Ding Hong, and the reason he called him Brother Ding was just to get close to him, so that he could follow him out of this tiger cave. However, he didn’t expect that the things that had happened today would have already planted a grudge in this youth’s heart. If he didn’t get rid of him soon, he didn’t know what would happen to this young man in the future. Just as he was about to speak, Ding Hong suddenly said, “Let’s go.”
Wang Han’s words were stuck in his throat, but it was stuck there. He frowned and said, “You …”
Ding Hong raised his head, smiled slightly and said, “I have thought it through. “I don’t have anything to worry about anymore. I can also walk around in this world …”
Wang Han saw the look on his face and was secretly surprised. However, he maintained his straightforward smile and said, “Alright, Brother Ding. We will leave tonight.” If we are to leave through the main entrance, we will definitely be caught by the people from the dark market, so we need to take the water route. ” He stood up. “I’ll contact a boatsman first, and we’ll leave tonight. I hope Brother Ding can wait here for a while.”
Ding Hong also stood up and said, “Of course.”
Wang Han nodded his head but didn’t go through the door. Instead, he jumped from the window onto the opposite roof, and soon disappeared from sight.
After Ding Hong saw Wang Han leave, he quietly sat at the table by himself, as if everything had stopped moving.
Suddenly, he started to laugh. On his forehead, a small sword was flashing with a faint light, as if it was in sync with Ding Hong’s mood.
“The state of the heart, let nature take its course.” He suddenly said to himself.
Ding Hong heaved a long sigh, his mood seemed to have never been this relaxed before. He had been troubled just now, and now he couldn’t help but resent the heaven and earth. Just then, he suddenly thought of the state of the heart and the Zen poem that the old monk warned him about, and he felt relieved.
However, his gaze suddenly became fierce. One day, I will make all of you pay the price!
After that, he calmed his emotions and sat there quietly, not moving at all.
At noon, Ding Hong took out the blood-red bottle. However, he could not find anything special about this bottle. He removed the lid and inhaled. Then, the previously restless Heavenly Talisman slowly calmed down. He couldn’t help but be amazed at how magical this small bottle was.
Although it was noon, Ding Hong did not dare to go out and find a place to eat. There was no telling who might be watching. After some thought, he could only run to the bed and sleep.
In the evening, Ding Hong did not know how many times he had woken up, but Wang Han finally jumped in through the window. Ding Hong wanted to jump up and hug him.
As soon as Wang Han entered, he said with a smile, “Brother Ding, let’s leave now, but I still have to let you down.”
Ding Honglang said, “What?”
Wang Han chuckled, came up to him and grabbed him, then jumped out of the window. It was unknown what Wang Han had eaten since he was young, but his strength was enough to carry him everywhere. Now that he was holding onto Ding Hong, Ding Hong only felt pain in his own flesh from the clothes being held by Wang Han.
At this time, a lantern had already begun hanging in front of Ji Mo and everyone who had been busy the whole day began to relax. It was peaceful.
After a while, Wang Han came to a fire on a pier by the sea. He let go of Ding Hong and put him down. He looked around and after he found nothing abnormal, he said to Ding Hong, “I found a cargo ship. We will take that cargo ship and leave Ji Mo later.” Pausing for a moment, he continued, “I plan to take you to an island to seek refuge. After all, it is not peaceful right now.”
Ding Hong thought for a moment and said, “That’s good too.”
Wang Han nodded his head and looked at the color of the sky. “The boatman should have been waiting for us. He said he has a lot of people. Let’s go now.” “Stay close to me.”
“Yes.”
Wang Han brought Ding Hong to a stop in front of a relatively dilapidated boat. An old man in shabby clothes was already waiting there. Seeing that Wang Han had arrived, he hurried over. “You’re finally here.” Right now, the people from the Heavenly King Tower are looking for us, if we do not leave this ship, we will be targeted by them. ”
Wang Han hastily expressed his apology, then took out a bit of gold from his bosom and gave it to him. Only then did his complexion improve.
The old man said, “Hurry up and board the boat. We’ll leave now.”
Wang Han nodded and called Ding Hong onto the boat. Not long after they had boarded the ship, the boat pulled up its anchor and headed for the depths of the sea.
At this time, the figure of the Tower Lord appeared from beside a pile of goods. He looked at the leaving cargo ship with a complicated expression and muttered, “Young Master, that is all I can do. When we meet again in the future, I will no longer show any mercy. ”
He sighed, then turned and left.
