Chapter 1177 Temptation (3)
Liu Jianjun asked directly whether his master had any connection with the theft in Guizi Country. Liu Jingxue pretended to be surprised and said, "I don't know."
"You don't know, didn't your master tell you?"
Liu Jingxue shook her head, "Master just took me to see a few treasure caves and said that these things were given to me and I could do whatever I wanted with them.
The rest was not told to me.”
"Then do you think those things were brought back by your master from the devil country?"
Liu Jingxue knew that the higher-ups must have confirmed that many of the treasures were stolen from the Japanese country, so there was no point in hiding them any further.
She deliberately thought for a moment, and let the two men look at her, not daring to breathe.
After whetting the two people's appetite, Liu Jingxue nodded under their nervous gaze.
"It's not difficult to do this with Master's ability."
Zou Lao pretended to be incredulous and said, "Xiaoxue, don't you think too highly of your master?
You also know how many things are in those treasure caves. It is very difficult to steal them from the devil country and secretly transport them back to Xia country.
During that time, the Japanese country mobilized the entire country to search for those things. "
Although I know that Mr. Zou is using provocation, and the target is the master who does not exist at all.
As someone who was actually looked down upon, Liu Jingxue still felt somewhat unconvinced.
She smiled mysteriously on purpose, "My master is a god-like figure, so how could he not have special means?
If he wanted to hide something, those people wouldn’t be able to find it no matter how hard they searched.”
Mr. Zou and Liu Jianjun looked at each other and thought of the storage bag at the same time.
It is certain that what happened in the Japanese country is related to the master Liu Jingxue mentioned. The next step is to find out whether another incident is related to Xiaoxue's master.
When the whole country was experiencing thefts and toilet bombings in the devil's country, the border guards of Xiaguo received food, meat, medicine, cotton, and some places even received quilts in the same month.
Since then, except for a brief interruption during the epidemic, we have received food and medicine every month.
During the epidemic, Xi City received large quantities of medicinal materials several times.
In the same year, the border defense of Li Province received intelligence and information from the secret research institute of the devil country.
Xiaoxue was working in the countryside in Li Province at that time.
Mr. Zou feels that there is a certain connection between these.
Old Zou recalled the years in the Red Star Production Team when Xiaoxue kept sending him grain. Although she claimed that she bought it privately from someone, now he thought that the quality of the grain was too high. Even with his current level, he could not get grain of that high quality.
He suspected that the food was not purchased by Xiaoxue, but provided by Xiaoxue's master.
“Xiaoxue, the food you got was probably not what you said you bought from someone.
Grandpa Zou, after I came back, I used the grain you brought me and asked someone about it. It turned out that such high-quality grain was simply not available within the territory of Xia.
Since the food cannot be obtained within the territory of Xia, it is impossible, as you said, that the veteran you rescued, out of gratitude for your life-saving grace, sold you the food he obtained with great difficulty at a low price.
"Xiaoxue, did your master give you those grains?" Mr. Zou asked directly.
They had already specially asked someone to investigate, what else could Liu Jingxue do but to admit it honestly.
"Grandpa Zou, the food we ate before was indeed given to me by Master."
Zou Lao rolled his eyes and said, "Xiaoxue, in the past few years, food and meat have appeared out of nowhere every month on the border of our Xia country.
I had someone get some food from the border, and after comparing it with the food you gave me, I found that the food at the border was very similar to the food your master provided you, both of them were of high quality.
It’s just that the food they eat doesn’t taste as good as the food we eat.”
Liu Jingxue thought to herself, they are definitely not exactly the same.
What we eat is real spiritual food, full of spiritual energy.
As for those provided for border defense, the spiritual energy level of the spiritual soil was deliberately lowered, so it only contained a very small amount of spiritual energy.
Although the quality of the two is the same, the taste is definitely different.
"Xiaoxue, since the food is the same, do you think it was your master who delivered food to the border?" Old Zou went straight to the point.
Liu Jingxue shook her head. "I haven't heard Master talk about this."
"Then speculate, based on your understanding of your master, could it be your master who did this?"
Liu Jingxue naturally wouldn't make any guarantees. She just said that she had never heard her master say that. If she confirmed it now, she would be exposed.
She pretended to think for a long time, then said uncertainly,
“Master has always told me that practitioners should accumulate more merits, so he supported me in handing over the prescriptions I had researched and the treasures.
If he wanted to accumulate merit, it would not be surprising if he sent food to the border defense."
Although Liu Jingxue was not sure, Mr. Zou could basically conclude that delivering food to the border should have been done by Liu Jingxue's master.
The person who delivered the food was the same person who delivered the storage bag, so he must be Xiaoxue's master.
While Mr. Zou was making his own calculations, Liu Jianjun heard Liu Jingxue mention cultivation and asked,
"Xiaoxue, the cultivation you are talking about is the kind of cultivation described in the storybooks where one can summon the wind and rain and perform immortal magic?"
Ever since he learned about the mysterious man and obtained the storage bag, Liu Jianjun has read a lot of novels of this kind.
After finally hearing Liu Jingxue mention this, he blurted out the words without thinking.
Seeing the slightly reproachful look from Mr. Zou, Liu Jianjun pretended not to see it and stared at Liu Jingxue closely.
Liu Jingxue, who had been prepared to reveal something, did not hide it and said,
“Although it’s not that powerful, but if you cultivate to a high level, it shouldn’t be much different.
But Master said that now that we have lost our spiritual energy and are in the Dharma-Ending Age, it is impossible to cultivate to a high level.
Today's cultivators are only slightly stronger than ordinary people, relying more on the magical instruments left over from ancient times."
Zou Lao's breath was choked, and he pressed on, "Then your master must know some magic spells, and he also has some so-called magic tools in his hands, right?"
After asking this question, both he and Liu Jianjun held their breath, anxiously waiting for Liu Jingxue's answer.
It felt to them like they had been waiting for a long time, but in fact only a few seconds had passed before they received Liu Jingxue's affirmative answer.
As the two of them waited, Liu Jingxue nodded gently, "Master does know some magic spells and has some magic tools."
"Did you learn those skills from your master?" Mr. Zou couldn't help but ask.
“My master taught me, but my aptitude is not very good, and I don’t have much spiritual energy now. After studying for a few years, I haven’t made much progress.
Now I am concentrating on researching and developing medicines.”
Hearing Liu Jingxue's affirmative answer, Liu Jianjun widened his eyes, somewhat unable to believe his ears.
Their Liu family has a person who practices immortal magic. Could it be that smoke is coming out of their ancestral grave?
At this time, he had already ignored what Liu Jingxue said about not making much progress after studying for several years.
