Shi Wuqi really "bducted" Miss Ye back as Shan Hai expected. As soon as she saw her brother, she put on a sullen face and cursed Wu Qi. It seemed that she had been deceived. Ye Linxi thanked her repeatedly, while blaming her little sister, why she dared to follow anyone, and what if she met a bad person with ulterior motives.
"He just said that you are a bad person and he is afraid that you will kidnap his sister!" Dai Luan complained quickly.
"I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!" Ye Linxi blamed him three times.
The brother and sister lived in two rooms across the hall from them. Miss Ye specially chose a place far away. There were residents on both sides, so Mr. Ye had to live next door to her.
"I see that there is a brother who doesn't seem very happy." Aluan looked at Mu Wan, "Are you like this too?"
"...Not really. I was still young at that time, and we had a lot of fights and we got along pretty well. Thinking about it carefully, maybe after my father's accident, we didn't see each other very often and only exchanged letters. Otherwise, it would have been I don’t know how we can do it now…”
That night, several people gathered in Shanhai's room. Shi Wuqi told them the general story of what happened. On the small round table in the middle, there was a map of textile cloth that was brought back by Shi Wuqi.
"Are you saying that you suspect that the Lord Kari Gong mentioned by Miss Yuting is actually Lord Gaoyue's confidant?"
"One." He added.
"It's not impossible. If we can find him and have a little communication with him, we might be able to meet Satsuki-kun. At that time, we can inquire about the whereabouts of Wan Guizhi and ask about Wa Jinhua. .”
Mu Wan was thinking about this, and Shanhai sighed softly.
"It's easy to say. But I'm afraid there are quite a few people who want to see His Excellency Kari Gong every day, not to mention that he hasn't been here recently. But what are the backgrounds of the other subordinates?"
Shi Wuqi was pacing in place, holding a fan in one hand and clapping it rhythmically with the other. He carefully recalled what happened during the day and said to them:
"Although Ye Zixu didn't leave the boudoir in the past, she asked for all kinds of books from her subordinates. She really did some research on the underworld in December, and she could name every impermanent name. For Gao Yuejun's five confidants Poison, she also told me the name, and she also lent me two related books to read a few times."
Wuqi stopped, took a pen, circled a dot on the west side of Qinglize's map, and wrote three words.
"We came all the way east, and now we are located in the west of Qingli Ze, closest to His Excellency Kari Gong. His Excellency Kari Gong, whose real name is Kari Gongduo. As his name suggests, he is a monster who guards the palace. He opened a bank and gambling here. The village is jointly known as Jinsha Village. In addition, the locals know that he knows some magic between life and death, and even ghost coins can be circulated there."
"...What? No, this is too nonsense." Mu Wan frowned, feeling strange for some reason.
"That's natural. In my opinion, he launders money specifically for the Shadow Pavilion..."
Shan Hai asked, what else.
"Let's talk about the farthest one - the south and east of Qingli Ze." Wu Qi drew another circle on the other side of the map and wrote a name, "Scorpion Demon Xie Yan, there is also some fighting and killing business there. Finally, To the east, to the north, almost a long distance away, is the territory of the spider demon Zhu Tong. Miss Ye knows more about her. All the information in the world, big and small, is collected and transmitted by Zhu Tong. Between Xie Yan and Kari Gongduo , there is the centipede demon Wu Yin, who specializes in accepting all kinds of commissions. As long as there is a request, it will be answered. In the north is the snake demon She Ji. What exactly does it do is not clear. However, I don’t know if the locals really It’s clear that they are not human beings, but no matter whether they go out here or come in from outside, they are said to be genuine people.”
The entire map was outlined, and five points and names were drawn. Every place is bordered by the other nearest city, but other than that, there is no regular layout.
"Regardless of the reason, it takes at least a hundred years of cultivation to be able to transform into a human form." Mu Wan thought, "If you can restrain all the demonic energy in your body, it will be even more difficult to deal with."
Naturally, she thought of Lord Kutsutsuki. But she quickly shook her head, trying to get that annoying shadow out of her mind.
"Wait a minute."
Taoist priest Lin suddenly spoke, and everyone else looked at him. He took the pen from Shi Wuqi's hand and hung it next to the word "Shou Gongduo". He suddenly drew a straight line and ran towards the word "Zhu Tong". While he was drawing, he was still saying something.
“The nature of the heaven and earth is that if the crowd is better than the few, then water is better than fire; if essence is better than hardness, then fire is better than metal; if hardness is better than softness, then metal is better than wood; if specialization is better than dispersion, then wood is better than earth; if reality is better than emptiness, then earth is better than water… …”
After that, he put down his pen. The others came up and saw an irregular star drawn by him on the map.
"Wuwei?" Wu Qi put his fan against his chin.
"The fire of Bing and Ding in the south, the wood of Jia and Yi in the east, the gold of Geng in the west, the water of Rengui in the north, and the earth of Wuji in the center. The five elements are more noble and more humble, and they are used to know life and death, and to determine success or failure. I saw you write down their names, and they are indeed Metal, wood, water, fire and earth, I vaguely feel that Lord Gaoyue did it deliberately based on the principle of yin and yang of heaven and earth. So..."
Shanhai's fingers pressed on the irregular pentagon. Aluan scratched his head and asked:
"You're saying that Satsuki-kun is probably hiding in this place?"
"If nothing unexpected happens... this is just my conjecture. There is no more reason. After all, it may be a trap deliberately set by Lord Gaoyue, and we don't know whether she acts according to common sense. What's more, there are various spiritual veins , the barrier disrupts the audio and visual, it is better to find a confidant of Wudu first, so that we can discuss it. If it doesn't work, we will find the next best solution in person. "
"You can also see the land you are referring to - the terrain is complex and inaccessible. It is the deepest part of Qingli Ze, and unknown exotic flowers, plants, birds and animals are hiding here. So... I don't think your calculation is correct. It makes no sense.”
Shi Wuqi put away the fan. Shan Hai picked up the map, looked around, and frowned.
"Qinglize is too big. If the troops are divided into two groups, they may not be able to reunite for several days. We are not familiar with the place and cannot afford to make mistakes."
"Shan Hai is right," Mu Wan agreed, "It's safest for us to act together."
Shi Wuqi did not object. He just pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. Shanhai saw it and asked him directly. Wuqi shook his head and said calmly:
"I just think this Satsuki-kun is really capable of tossing things around."
"He has some real abilities."
As Mu Wan said this, you all have to think more about Shanhai's old friend Jiyue Lord, Liangyue Lord who has lost his will to all ghosts, and Yingyue Lord and Xuyue Lord who are acting recklessly. Let’s not mention the last two villains for now. The first two are just causing trouble for others.
"Let's go to Jinsha Manor tomorrow to take a look. Without Shou Gongduo, the manor still has to run the business. If there is nothing valuable, we will go directly to find Wu Yin."
After discussing it, the girls went back to the house and lay down to rest. In the early morning of the next day, when it was dark, a few people packed up, took out their horses and got ready to hit the road. By coincidence, the Ye brothers and sisters were also in the stable. After asking around, they found out that they were going to a place called Qinglu Cliff deep in Qinglize to see the scenery. Miss Ye tried her best to persuade them to go together, but they were still pushed away. She seemed very disappointed.
"When you come back, you must tell us about the scenery there."
As Wu Qi said this, she smiled again with her droopy lips.
This dog man is very dangerous - it comes from Ye Linxi's male intuition.
As the weather gets hotter in the morning, there are more and more pedestrians on the road. The place where the crowd is becoming more and more dense is the Jinsha Village run by Kari Gongduo. The girls went to the bank to look around, and Shanhai and Wuqi went to the gambling bank. There is nothing special in the casino, it is average in size and there are not too many people. In order not to be suspected, Shi Wuqi gambled a few times and said to Shan Hai in a low voice:
"There is no mechanism in the sieve cup. But there are some problems with their methods... However, this kind of place is not really built for fun, so I'm afraid it didn't take much effort."
"Oh? You still know this?"
Shan Hai was a little surprised. He thought that Wu Qi was always in the weeping room and knew very little about the outside world.
"Not only do I know it, I'm quite familiar with it. Maybe I was also a gambler before I lost my memory."
Shan Hai thought to himself, looking at your wealth, I'm afraid you might be a con man.
It was very easy to get in, but when they were leaving, they ran into trouble.
Several guards from the casino walked towards them and blocked the way out.
"Did you just..." Shan Hai looked at him suspiciously.
"I didn't... Okay, okay, I don't want to lose even if I don't make a profit. I'm not lucky today, so I pressed the dice a little bit, and it's a 50-50 chance of winning or losing. They didn't lose either, right? They won't cause trouble for us."
As they were talking, a man walked up to them and bowed respectfully. Judging from the fabric and luster of the clothes, maybe the words have some weight.
"May I ask, are you the shopkeeper of Xuan Zhen Weeping Corpse House, Mr. Shi?"
"Well, exactly." He admitted openly.
"Are you Shi Wuqi, Master of Hundred Bones?"
"Can't I lie to you?"
"Then, I'll ask you to take a rest here."
The two looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine they were selling in the gourd. After asking for a long time, I finally figured out that it was the request of their master, His Excellency Hunting Gong - if Lord Bai Skeleton comes to visit, he must be kept until he comes back.
"Are you kidding me?" Shi Wuqi twitched his lips, "Didn't he just leave for a few days and come back right away? I can't wait. I have important things to do, so I won't accompany you."
Shi Wuqi always spoke in a calm tone, but Shan Hai felt that his tone might actually be a little angry. It was difficult for him to determine whether this person was just pretending. For example, being the right person would make people feel less offended and less likely to suffer.
They just asked him to be calm and promised that the owner of the village would be back within half a day. Although I don't know where they got their confidence, they still said that today coincided with his return date, but Shi Wuqi reluctantly agreed and just let them leave. They were indeed making things difficult for others and politely sent Master Lin out.
Looking at the back of Taoist Master Lin leaving, he waved his fan and said goodbye briskly.
A few drops of cold sweat broke out on his palms.
