Chapter 2424
by Moonlit_Scholar_C Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuejian looked up at Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping once again restrained the aura on his body, and then looked at Blood Bone with a calm expression and said：
“You are lying.”
Blood Bone’s face changed upon hearing this, and he nervously waved his hands again and again and said：
“Immortal, I can swear to the heavens that every word I just said is absolutely true！”
Xu Taiping asked rhetorically：
“Do you know what year it is outside？”
Blood Bone seriously thought about it, and then replied：
“When I was captured, it was just the seventh day of the eleventh month of the sixteenth year of Yongchang in Chaoyun Country. I have slept twice in this cave. Yuan Lingzi told me that each time we sleep is three years, so it should be the twenty-fifth year of Yongchang now！”
Xu Taiping didn’t answer, but raised his head and looked at Gu Yu, who was standing motionless on the jade platform, and asked：
“Gu Yu, tell him what year it is this year.”
Gu Yu on the jade platform, after a slight thought, finally replied：
“Reporting to the immortal, this year is the seventh year of Taikang. It has been two changes of reign titles and one hundred and twenty-six years have passed since the sixteenth year of Yongchang he mentioned.”
Xu Taiping nodded upon hearing this, and then his gaze once again looked at that Blood Bone and said：
“One hundred and twenty-six years. Presumably your wife and children have already been buried in the ground, yet you still say you want to reunite with them？”
Although he wasn’t as clear about the era name of Chaoyun Country as Gu Yu, he knew that the current era name was Taikang, not Yongchang as the Blood Bone had said, so he was able to quickly discover that the Blood Bone was lying.
At this time, Dongfang Yuejian beside him said angrily：
“Just now I still felt a bit of sympathy for you, but I didn’t expect you to be lying and deceiving us！ What else do you have to say now？”
However, the Blood Bone seemed as if he didn’t hear the questions from Dongfang Yuejian and Xu Taiping at all, and remained motionless and stiff in place.
After a moment, he suddenly turned his head and asked Gu Yu with a slightly trembling voice：
“Little brother, the current era name… is really no longer… no longer Yongchang？”
Gu Yu didn’t answer directly, but looked at Xu Taiping.
After seeing Xu Taiping nod, he then opened his mouth to explain：
“Yongchang was the era name of Emperor Ruiyang. However, in the 79th year of Yongchang, Emperor Ruiyang passed away, and Emperor Lingwu ascended the throne and changed the country’s name to Taikang. And now it is the 63rd year of Taikang. Isn’t it exactly 126 years that have passed？”
After hearing Gu Yu’s explanation, the Blood Bone remained motionless and stiff in place for a long time again, and then his teeth chattered and he said with a slightly trembling voice：
“One hundred and twenty-six… actually 120 years have passed. Then Yuniang and Afu aren’t already… already…”
When he said this, the Blood Bone suddenly knelt down with a ‘plop’ sound, then covered his face with both hands and cried loudly：
Yu Niang！ Ah Fu！ It’s all my fault, it’s all because Daddy is not good…
After crying for a while, the Blood Bone Cao Sixi suddenly said with a full tone of grief and indignation：
Yuan Lingzi, you said that as long as I slept with you three times in this cave, you would promise to let me go to see Yu Niang and Ah Fu, and also lied to me that only six years had passed!
Yuan Lingzi！ You made me fail to see the last side of Yu Niang and Ah Fu, you bastard！
You deceived me so hard！
Yuan Lingzi！
Dongfang Yuejian looked at the weeping and anger of this Cao Sixi and they don’t seem to be fake so she looked at Xu Taiping with some hesitation and said:
Brother Taiping, could it be that what he just said is true, but was deceived by that Yuan Lingzi and thought that each time he slept, only three years had passed？
Xu Taiping didn’t answer because at the moment he also had no way to determine.
And at this moment, the Blood Bone Cao Sixi suddenly stood up and said to Xu Taiping with a somewhat dejected tone：
Immortal, I know you definitely won’t believe me anymore.
The blood bone of Cao Sixi clenched his fist hard, and then continued：
“I don’t expect you, the Immortal, to spare my life. I only beg you to get rid of that evil spirit Yuan Lingzi and avenge my wife and children and the countless common people who died at his hands！”
“As for everything related to him and the words he left before leaving, I will tell you, the Immortal, every word without omission！”
Xu Taiping didn’t answer but turned to look at Dongfang Yuejian aside and said：
“Miss Dongfang, do you have a means to identify lies？”
Dongfang Yuejian’s eyes lit up and she said：
“I don’t have a means to identify lies, but I have seen a magic weapon that can identify lies.”
As she spoke, she took out the Spring and Autumn Brush, used her own true primordial spirit as ink, and painted in the air.
After a while, a beast-shaped jade jue was suspended in front of the Bloody Bone Cao Sixi.
Then, only to hear Dongfang Yuejian say to the Bloody Bone Cao Sixi：
“Cao Sixi, do you dare to hold that jade jue and assure us that what you just said is not false？”
Hearing this, the Bloody Bone Cao Sixi immediately grabbed the jade jue and replied affirmatively：
“I dare！”
Dongfang Yuejian then reminded him seriously：
“You have to think clearly. There is a strand of the divine power of the divine beast Xiezhi hidden in this jade jue. Once what you said is not true, the divine power of the divine beast Xiezhi will make you disappear in body and spirit on the spot！”
Blood Bone Cao Sixi still nodded vigorously, and said firmly：
“I’ve thought it through clearly！”
Immediately afterwards, it was seen that Cao Sixi’s blood bone held up the jade jue in his hand high, and said extremely firmly： “I, Cao Sixi, swear to this jade jue that whether it is the words just now, or what I have in mind, the words that I am about to tell the three immortals, there is not a single false word！”
As soon as these words came out, the gazes of several people in the cave all stared at Cao Sixi and the jade jue in his hand.
After a while, instead of shattering, the jade jue instead emitted a very soft cyan brilliance.
Seeing this, Cao Sixi was immediately overjoyed and said：
“Immortals, now it can always prove that I’m not lying, right？”
Seeing this, Dongfang Yuejian immediately looked at Xu Taiping and said：
“Big Brother Taiping, it seems that this Cao Sixi really didn’t lie.”
Xu Taiping nodded, and then looked at the Blood Bone Cao Sixi and said：
“Since you didn’t lie, then we promise you and take on this deal.”
Cao Sixi was overjoyed and said：
“Thank you three immortals！”
He immediately asked Xu Taiping somewhat timidly：
“Immortal, after I tell you all that I know, if you think it’s of some use, can you fulfill a little bit of my small and unseemly request？”
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuejian on the side immediately said dissatisfiedly：
“You little peddler, you’re still here bargaining with my brother！”
Cao Sixi gave a “hee hee” smile and then clasped his hands and said:
“This little one’s request is by no means excessive！”
Xu Taiping smiled and said：
“Let’s hear it.”
Cao Sixi’s blood and bone scratched his head and said：
“This little one has been a lackey for the tiger, and I know that death is not to be regretted. However, before I die, I still want to go back to my hometown and have a look.”
Although Yuniang and Afu are no longer here, this little one has wandered all his life, and after death I still hope to be able to return to my hometown in spirit.”
When saying this, Cao Sixi was still holding that jade jue
And that jade jue still did not break.
Xu Taiping then nodded and said：
“This unfeeling request is not excessive, and I can agree.”
Cao Sixi immediately knelt down on the ground again and kowtowed to Xu Taiping and Dongfang Yuejian and said：
“Thank you, three immortals, for your fulfillment！”
And at this time, I saw Dongfang Yuejian hand a talisman that had just been drawn to Cao Sixi and then said to him：
“Don’t kneel anymore, stand up. For the sake of safety, I have to stick one more talisman on you.”
