"It's just that the last one was sent to a town in the east. There is a lot of water there and the climate is quite cool."

"Are you talking about the Wa Jinhua?" Dai Luan suddenly answered, "People say that this flower is like Nuwa, who found the sky-repairing spiritual stone. Where it grows, there are strange minerals, and it can also identify the authenticity of strange stones. . I remember there was such a flower at home when I was a child, and it was the one that identified the black jade and white jade my father gave us. But then the house caught fire and it was burned down."

"Do you recognize that flower?" Shanhai said, "But...it seems to be of no use. I just don't know what the purpose of Lord Shuangyue is to find the Wajin Flower?"

Yun Ge stood up and took a few steps back and forth. As he walked, he said:

"You don't know this, but there is another reason why Wa Jinhua has this name: Resurrection."

Shan Hai clapped his hands: "...Ah, now that I say that, I remembered it. When we were refining medicine in Guanli, there was an extremely rare 'Wa Jin', which is the powder of dried flowers."

"You don't know how to make medicine?"

Mu Wan was a little surprised, as if Shanhai was a little different from the Taoist she imagined. Shan Hai replied to her and said that there are many kinds of mental skills in Guanli. He only practices exorcism and knows little about refining medicine. In this regard, he might not know as much as Dai Luan, who had spent time in a pharmacy. He sighed and continued:

"It's just that the method of resurrecting the soul is a forbidden technique. And the elixir made from powder can only teach the recently deceased to briefly recall their consciousness. They can ask some questions about what they said during their lifetime, but they will soon disappear."

"Exactly. This flower only returns the person's personality and some memories, not the soul. It is said that if you connect the living flower to the mine and plant it into the soil where the dead person is buried, the mud will reveal the outline of the person, and it can also be removed from the soil. There was a sound coming from the flower. This has a subtle relationship with the theory that Nuwa created human beings. And when I first chose to come here, I also had a lucky heart, hoping to find one to ask my father for advice."

"What does Mr. Shuangyue want from Wa Jinhua? Does he have a strange stone that he wants to identify, or... a dead person that he wants to question?"

Mu Wan had a headache, and she personally preferred the latter theory. Just after she finished speaking, she added another sentence:

"But aren't they impermanent ghosts? If you have anything you want to ask, just go to the underworld and ask."

"Perhaps that person has been reincarnated," Shan Hai analyzed. "In that case, we can't ask. Could it be that he is for your sect leader..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

She subconsciously hugged Shan Hai and immediately felt that she was a little rude. But she really didn't want to think about it, and even if someone mentioned it, she wouldn't listen.

"I made a mistake. What exactly he did, you will know once you find him and ask him. But... where did he go?"

"I don't know about this either." Yun Ge spread his hands. "If I knew, I would go with him."

The clue is broken again. For a moment, the room became quiet again, except for the fire burning brightly in the furnace. A few people's hearts were cold, but their skin was very hot.

"But...what do you want to ask from your father when you are looking for this flower?"

Dai Luan broke the silence. She blinked and looked at the craftsman with a calm expression. There was some unnoticeable sadness in his eyes, but his tone was as calm as if he had stated it a hundred times:

"You know that half-finished silverware. What it is, I can't reveal it at the moment. But I know that I can't match my father's skills and I can't finish it. But I'm not convinced from the bottom of my heart - The Master Craftsman His disciple and Yun Kai's own son, not only he is better than his predecessor, but he is not even equal to him. I really feel unwilling to do so. I don't know what I owe. Is it because he has unfinished skills or because I am young? I only recognize his ingenuity if he tells me personally."

Unexpectedly, this humble craftsman not only has a pair of dexterous hands, but also has such a persistent heart. Although the ideal is commendable, it is very difficult to find this strange flower that even Lord Shuangyue cannot find. There was another sigh in the room, and no one could think of any feasible solution.

No matter who owns the flower, they won't tell anyone about it to prevent others from noticing it. The towns to the east... there are too many.

Who holds the Demon-Sealing Blade? Besides the person holding it, it is Lord Shuangyue who has a telepathic connection with the blade. I can't ask about the former, but Lord Shuangyue's whereabouts are also so unpredictable. Only by finding him first can we know the whereabouts of the wakizashi and naturally intercept Yingyue Jun. It is interlocking, very complicated, and there is no room for error. This is Mu Wan's only way.

The Wan Gui Zhi that Shan Hai is looking for is even more difficult to handle. It can be said that he has no clue and cannot even mention it to outsiders, let alone ask anyone about it. Mr. Jiyue said goodbye to them and was so busy that he disappeared. It seemed that the six paths of impermanence were not an easy job.

When a group of people were in distress, someone came to the door.

Yun Ge opened the door, it was a young woman. She said straight to the point that she was here to pick up the bracelet she ordered last time. He turned around and found it for her from a row of special cabinets. Before leaving, he asked a few words:

"Why did you suddenly wear a face towel today?"

Hearing this, Shan Hai glanced at her one more time. He didn't think it was strange when he saw someone for the first time, but it seemed like she didn't usually dress like this. I saw that the woman was wrapped in three layers, inside and outside, which was really unusual in this hot season, and she also had a thick layer of face towel hanging on her. There was someone behind her, like her sister or a friend, who was silent behind her, just looking around.

"Have you not heard?" The woman's eyes widened, "The girl from the Lin family in Beixiankou had her face cut open. When she found out, she was cold. It was really shocking. I didn't want to come out today, but tomorrow I have to wear it on the old man’s birthday. They all say it’s made by the Laughing Wolf, but it can’t be true. I’m still scared now.”

"..."

Yun Ge looked back at Dai Luan in the room and hesitated to speak. Shanhai heard this and stepped forward and asked:

"Smiling Wolf? Are you talking about people from Zuojimen?"

This Laughing Wolf is not a monster, he is a human being in terms of race. This man was highly skilled in martial arts but cruel and ruthless, and even the demons were frightened after hearing this. It's not because of how evil he is, but because of his weird interest. It is said that he once had a handsome and charming face, which not only made girls like him, but also made men look at him more.

However, I don’t know whether he is narrow-minded or has some special complex. He specializes in gouging out the faces of beautiful women. No matter men, women, old or young, officers or soldiers, civilians, humans or monsters, he will find ways to peel off the face of that person. Most of the victims who are found are dying. , half dead. At that time, no one knew it was him who did it, but it was just because he ruined the stable relationship between humans and demons.

Later, he was punished by a certain Six Paths Impermanence, who not only exposed the crime of stealing faces, but also destroyed his face. When the angry people ransacked his home, they found that there were hundreds of processed faces in the house, all of which were faces that had faded away in shame.

However, he still did not repent.

It is said that his face was burned by something unknown whether it was fire or ice. His skin and flesh were torn apart, like a flower in bloom. His facial features could not be distinguished clearly. His teeth were bared and he was extremely scary. Therefore, he was named "Sakimenro", which is the same as the one who disappeared a few years ago. The face thief is the same person. He always wore a grinning wolf face, and as he came and went, he became the smiling wolf he is today. Now it seems that he is also working on Zuo Zhenmen. Moreover, this person remained stubborn and continued to scratch those good-looking faces, and even went so far as to even leave no one alive.

Could it be that as Yun Ge guessed, it was the Smiling Wolf who fought against Mu Wan? He wasn't there, so he wasn't sure, but after seeing the increasingly ugly expressions on Dai Luan and Mu Wan's faces, they probably didn't have to run away... How could they offend Zuo Jinmen, or anyone else who was worthy enough to place an order with them? However, it is also possible that such an attack was spontaneous on his part. North Alley? It is the tung forest and the place leading to the mountain. Presumably, he committed the crime that scratched the girl's face and left from that direction.

"Then Miss Lin...is she buried?" Dai Luan didn't know when she got between Yun Ge and the woman, and exposed her head from the door.

"We haven't been buried yet. We have to go to the county to report it to the official. But let me tell you, if it was really the Laughing Wolf who did it, no one can do anything about it. Little girl, I see you are a foreigner and you have a pretty face. Just be careful."

"...Can you take me to see that girl from the Lin family?"

The woman and her entourage were in trouble. They frowned and looked at each other hesitantly.

"It is said that the scene was so bloody that we didn't even dare to go..."

"Just lead the way, thank you for your work."

Shan Hai suddenly said the same thing, which made Yun Ge a little confused. He himself felt that doing more was better than doing less, so he just listened to some words. I just never thought that this foreigner would be quite enthusiastic. Mu Wan also walked over. Although he didn't say anything, he seemed ready to follow. She believed that her chivalrous and bravery was limited to the interests related to her own sect and clan, and she never liked to meddle in other people's problems. But since it might have been the Laughing Wolf at this time, she naturally wanted an explanation for the attack and the broken umbrella. Besides...who told her to have boarded the pirate ship of the good guy Lin?

The two women discussed it and agreed to them. Yun Ge also locked the door and followed him.

Anyway, at the end of the road, there is no use just sitting here.

When we arrived at the entrance of the North Alley, we were already surrounded by many people, all crowded in front of a seemingly stylish door. People were talking and talking, and in whispers they all lamented how beautiful the girl was, what a pity this was, and how inhuman the murderer was. They squeezed through the crowd, and the two women greeted the guard. Shanhai introduced himself as the Taoist priest who performed salvation for Miss Lin, and also brought along a knowledgeable doctor. The doorman looked at them, went into the room and reported, and when he came out, he greeted them and said they could come in.

The house is not big, but it is very elegantly decorated. Entering the house, you can hear a burst of whimpering. The two maids were crying and their eyes were swollen. Mrs. Lin was crying so hard that no one looked up when they came. In addition to Mr. Lin, there were two well-dressed men, sighing and sobbing endlessly. Perhaps he was the son of the Lin family, the brother of the dead girl.

No matter who sees this scene, they can't help but feel sad.
