Hao Yun narrated the process of dealing with the smiling goblin to the Dong brothers, who were also very sad. They had only heard about the Smiley Goblin and had never dealt with it. They just knew that once the Smiley Goblin was involved, local inspections were not allowed to make their own decisions and needed to report it as soon as possible, and the superiors would make unified arrangements.
After seeing how cautious the Dong brothers were, Hao Yun quickly asked: "Now that the situation has pointed to the Smiling Fairy, can Di Qing be cleared of suspicion?"
"How is that possible? On the contrary, Di Qing is more suspicious. The appearance of the smiling man can only mean that there is a smiling fairy behind him, but no one can guarantee that Di Qing is not a smiling fairy. Anyone can wear a smiling mask. And it is said that the smiling face mask can block the soul frequency, let alone who is this smiling man?" Dong Shi's answer was beyond Hao Yun's expectation, but it makes sense. This is exactly the weird thing about the smiling face fairy. As long as he wears the mask , anyone can be a smiling person.
"Isn't that right? Did Di Qing need to frame him himself? Moreover, such a clumsy murder scene was just for Feng Zige to report the crime immediately. When a normal cultivator kills someone, is it necessary to leave corpses all over the ground?" Hao Yun He couldn't help it for a long time, and now he basically understood that in order to stop Di Qing's actions, the Smiling Fairy deliberately created a massacre of genocide so that the inspection team could take action. Although he didn't know who the Smiling Fairies were, Di Qing was the least likely to do so. possible.
"Brother Hao's analysis is good, but there is no evidence! If President Di is willing to search for souls, he can definitely solve it. But at this point, we are no longer qualified to deal with all the relevant people, and we don't know who the higher ups will send. Hao Brother, let me say hello to you in advance. Don't offend anyone coming this time." Dong Shi also agreed with Hao Yun's analysis.
"Why should I offend someone from above? Besides, it's all to deal with this incident. I will definitely cooperate with him." Hao Yun was a little surprised by Dong Shi's statement and immediately said that he would not do anything random.
"Brother Hao is right to think so, but I still have to remind you that sometimes if you cooperate, others may not cooperate with you." Dong Shi said with a wink from the side. Although the words were ambiguous, Hao Yun immediately understood that he was a supervisor The people in the brigade are currently the most unpopular department in the inspection agency, and people from above are very likely to find trouble with him.
Hao Yun began to feel depressed. The two Dong brothers trusted him and were very cooperative. Otherwise, he would not have found out that the smiling goblin was causing trouble. But if someone from above comes here just to find trouble on purpose, the subsequent investigation will not go so smoothly. He is also a new member of the Supervision Brigade, and many unspoken rules have not yet been understood. Hao Yun feels very heavy.
Hao Yun returned to the Southern Branch extremely depressed. After seeing Di Qing, he also looked distraught. Hao Yun asked him what happened? Di Qing told Hao Yun his findings, mixed with his own analysis.
Di Qing's analysis was very bold. He believed that as a local and a weapon master, it was impossible for Laoyi not to know about the underground fire. In other words, the weapon masters' association was not the first person to discover the underground fire in Suzaku City. As soon as someone discovered it, he might come to occupy the magpie's nest, and finally established the southern branch. The reason why Di Qing asked Zhao Zihao to go to the city defense to check if there were any families with the surname Lao was because he was afraid that Lao Yi was the survivor who lived on the land of the Southern Branch. After Lao Yi joined the Southern Branch, he remained unknown and unknown. If it weren't for Di Qing's need for a large piece of mithril, he might not have interacted with Lao Yi. Moreover, this person did not need to be paid for his hard work, he just wanted to learn on the side. Di Qing didn't think anything of it at the time. This is a very common way of learning among weapon masters; but the problem lies in this, even before the official start of building, It was interrupted by the inspection; the question was, how did Lao Yi judge that Di Qing could decipher the secret of the earth fire. Di Qing himself still can't understand it. He only had an idea and didn't have much hope for the success rate. However, the fact that the other party took action immediately showed that his method might be effective.
After hearing Di Qing's analysis, Hao Yun felt that although it was bold, it did make sense. Combined with the smiley face fairy, the truth was about to come out. Cracking the Earth Fire is very important for the Weapon Masters Association, but for the Smiling Fairy, it may expose the fairy ruins hidden under the Earth Fire. This was unacceptable to the Smiling Fairy, so he took the risk and arranged a very clumsy genocide case to frame Di Qing. If you put it this way, Lao Yi is probably an undercover agent arranged by the Smiling Face Goblin in the southern branch; combined with the fact that Lao Yi is a local, it is very likely that they discovered the ground fire very early, but did not develop it on a large scale, and were combined by the weapon master After discovering it, they occupied their land. Therefore, Lao Yi probably has a revenge mentality towards the Weapon Masters Association. After meeting the Smiling Fairy, the two parties hit it off immediately.
"Senior Brother Di, what was the spiritual weapon you wanted to create with mithril used for?" Hao Yun thought about it, and the key point was what Di Qing wanted to do to make the other party take it so seriously.
"Actually, the spiritual weapon I made is not to crack the secret of earth fire. Earth fire has spirits. You must also know that. However, once a part of earth fire is taken out, the spirit consciousness of the earth fire will soon dissipate and become Ordinary fire. For the Weapon Masters Association, it is not necessary to figure out why the earth fire has spirit, but it hopes to copy the earth fire here to other places. As long as the earth fire in other places also has spirit, this will For the division union, it will usher in the best period of development." Di Qing said in detail, including their thoughts, and Hao Yun nodded repeatedly to express his understanding.
"So the spiritual weapon I built is actually a device for extracting earth fire. The earth fire taken out from this spiritual weapon can ensure that the spiritual consciousness remains for a long time. In this way, we can find a way to remove the spiritual consciousness from the earth fire. Transplant the earth fire to other places." Di Qing expressed his idea, but Hao Yun discovered the problem.
"If it is just a piece of equipment that takes out earth fire, it will not be affected by the earth fire here. In this case, the enemy does not need to make a fuss. Unless once your equipment is successful, you can also discover the reason why the earth fire has a spirit. Otherwise, Senior Brother Di has been here for several years, and he just strikes out at this time." Hao Yun keenly discovered the core of the problem. If he wanted to continue, he must find a way to build this equipment.
Di Qing thought for a long time, and then told Hao Yun what Zhao Zihao had discovered. Only then did Hao Yun realize that the earth fire did not maintain the same intensity all the time, but also experienced cycles of changes in intensity. But this cycle happened to change during Zhao Zihao's retreat, and on the day Di Qing was arrested, the intensity of the fire suddenly increased.
Hao Yun was frightened, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "Senior Brother Di, do you think this earth fire needs to be fed, and the food to be fed is the cultivator's golden elixir or Nascent Soul."
Di Qing nodded and replied: "I thought so too. Maybe after I take out the earth fire, since it is rootless water, although the spirituality will not escape, it will definitely be consumed. Normally, I will also provide some spirituality. items, such as demon pills and the like."
"If it is true, how many cultivators would need to be fed with the golden elixir of such a large area of earth fire? This is simply an astronomical figure." Hao Yun said, tongue-tied.
"According to my inference, if Earth Fire really needs so much spiritual food to ensure spiritual consciousness, it is estimated that all the cultivators in Suzaku City may not be able to guarantee it. So I think spiritual food may be just a catalyst. And this earth fire may really be a living creature, and it can practice on its own." Di Qing shook his head, rejected Hao Yun's idea, and gave his own explanation.
"Is there really a Suzaku under the ground?" Hao Yun thought this was a joke. The flames alone cover such a large area. One can imagine how big the Suzaku would be if there really was one. Once it escapes, the entire spiritual world will suffer.
Hao Yun and Di Qing discussed it for a long time, and finally returned to the spiritual weapon. They had to find a way to get the large piece of mithril back from the patrol, or find a way to find another large piece of mithril. After thinking about it, Hao Yun felt that it might be more reliable to get it from the inspection team. If such a large piece of mithril could be found easily, Di Qing would not have waited so long.
Without further ado, Hao Yun decided to go to the inspection branch again. Along the way, he racked his brains on how to get the Dong brothers to return the mithril. After all, this piece of mithril was an exhibit. If that didn't work, Hao Yun thought of simply replacing it with a small piece of mithril.
Unfortunately, when Hao Yun came to the inspection branch again, he found that the entire branch was filled with tension. The usually casual inspections started to be carried out in a serious manner, and there was no chance of chatting together anymore. Hao Yun pulled over an inspector who was passing by. Before he could say anything, the inspector whispered: "Mr. Hao, someone is already here and he is losing his temper."
Hao Yun didn't expect that he had only been away from the inspection branch for a few hours. He didn't expect that in such a short interval, people from above would be sent over so quickly. This showed that the inspection headquarters attached great importance to this incident. And he started to express his official authority as soon as he came up, which shows that this person may not be easy to talk to, and it is very slim to get the mithril back.
Hao Yun is not stationed, nor is he leaving. He doesn't know if he feels uncomfortable looking for him now, or if he should go back to the Southern Branch and wait for the other party to find him. After thinking about it, I decided to go back to the Southern Branch first and wait for the other party to finish losing his temper. Just as Hao Yunchang was about to turn around and leave, the door of the Dong brothers' office opened and Dong Shi walked out. After seeing Hao Yun, his face lit up and he shouted to Hao Yun: "It turns out that Brother Hao is already here. Now I'm here." There is no need to go out and look for you, come here quickly, someone is already here, and they are looking for you now."
Hao Yun's face changed. His luck was so bad that he fell into the trap immediately. This guy came with bad intentions!
