Shi Wuqi pretended to be in a bad mood and followed them to the back room to rest. The person in charge served him good tea and water, and asked him to give him whatever he wanted. This is quite the atmosphere of house arrest, he thought to himself. Even when he drove them out of the house calmly, he was still feeling flustered. It wasn't that he was really afraid that he would be in danger here, but that he was wary of something else.
Why is Kari Gonduo so sure that he will appear here in the near future? He even mentioned himself to Miss Yuting, which was definitely not a coincidence. He felt that he was trapped in an elaborate conspiracy. With Lord Gaoyue's ability to know the affairs of the world, he might really know exactly what their itinerary was when they came.
The question now is, does Kari Goutaku want to see him, is it the monster's own wish, or is it his master's wish?
He could almost imagine Shanhai finding the girls with a frown on his face after walking out the door, briefly summarizing what happened and telling them not to worry. As for the girls, perhaps like Shan Hai, they all said it was okay but thought about it a little bit in their hearts. But as long as Qi follows them, he can know how far away they are, and they can know that he is still okay.
While I was thinking about it, someone knocked on the door. He walked to the door and looked at a shadow about the same height as him. The aura of this person was different from what he had seen before, and there was a strong spiritual power lingering around him. He opened the door without asking.
That was a strange man. After the door opened, he said nothing and bowed first. Shi Wuqi also bowed his hands and raised his eyes slightly to look at him. The man wore an ocher round-neck robe with a darker goose-yellow lining. The fabric has fine stitching and looks very elegant. He wore a square bun and no other extraneous clothing, except for a token hanging around his waist.
The other party straightened up, with a handsome face. But he smiled crookedly, his eyes almost invisible, and the corners of his mouth turned up, making Shi Wuqi look sour.
"Your Excellency Kari Gong, I have heard of you for a long time. Come in and sit down, please? You are welcome in your own territory."
Before the other party introduced himself, Shi Wuqi spoke first. He was not sure at first, but when he met face to face, he could faintly feel the evil spirit emanating from the other person. He wasn't sure if Kari Gondo had made him aware of it on purpose.
The two entered the room and sat down opposite each other at the square wooden table. Kari Gonduo poured tea for him and said it was a specialty brought back from outside. Shi Wuqi smelled it, and it was indeed good tea, but he didn't touch the cup. He knew that most of the sorcerers in Qinglize knew some weird and bizarre poisons. If they were poisonous and tasteless, it would be difficult to deal with them. Kari Gondo saw his vigilance and said softly:
"Don't worry, poisoning someone secretly is not the way I treat guests."
"Well, I'm so relieved."
Even as he spoke, he still didn't even look at the teacup. Miss Qi's breath became lighter, and he sensed that Shanhai and the others should have left safely.
"Don't worry, Mr. Shi, I invite you to meet me on my own initiative. As for why I know you are here, I naturally asked my colleagues about your actions. Naturally, I asked the Master of the Shadow Pavilion for instructions. I just want to communicate with you. It’s a matter of life and death, other than that there is absolutely no malice, you don’t have to worry too much.”
Wu Qi didn't need to ask, he gave a clear explanation himself, and he seemed to be a shrewd guy. The more this happens, the more difficult it becomes for him to deal with.
"It's like kidnapping. It's really insincere."
"I let go of your true love, wasn't it sincere enough?"
Shi Wuqi remained calm on the surface, but his heart tightened, and he understood the meaning of these words - from the past to the present, even the movements of Shanhai and the others were known to the Death Shadow Pavilion. If anything goes wrong in this conversation, they could be in danger.
He couldn't directly ask "What are you going to do?" In such an atmosphere, the first one who couldn't calm down would lose.
"It's really not enough. You still have to answer a few questions for me."
"You're right to have concerns, just ask."
"Then let me tell you the truth - I naturally know that Death Shadow Pavilion knows everything about the world, but it always takes some time for the news to reach your ears. I don't think you just happened to bet on the time of our visit, but you I just found out today. So, it should be the letter reported by your people. I don’t understand, how did they tell you so quickly and ask you to come back? "
Kari Gonduo turned his face slightly, as if he had guessed that he would ask this question. Still smiling, he took off the token from his waist and handed it to Shi Wuqi's hand. Wu Qi also took it with both hands and looked at it carefully.
This long pentagonal token is written with gold paint, indicating the identity of the owner of Jinsha Village. On the back is an upright "Duo" character. He suddenly noticed that there was an inconspicuous metal piece at the bottom of the token, like a flexible buckle. He raised his eyes and looked at Kari Gonduo, but without any intention of stopping him, he gently opened the button and pulled out a small box from between the thin wooden tokens, like a delicate little drawer.
Inside is a smart petal, sealed in solidified transparent glass and embedded inside. The shape of the petals is like a piece of a girl's skirt, with a white center and a circle of ink-like black on the edge. The rest of the petals are golden. It is very beautiful. In this glass, the arc of life is frozen in it. Moreover, he could also feel that the aura of the petals was very complex. Some were emitted by it and some were injected into it.
"Does Mr. Shi know the six spiritual veins?"
"Well……"
Was it originally a spiritual vein? Very few humans can find and enter the spiritual veins. Even if they do, it will be difficult not to get lost among the six realms and not be able to find the way back. Only the Six Paths of Impermanence and some monsters can travel through it.
"We have spirit butterflies delivering messages. When I receive the message, I will come back directly from the spiritual veins. This token can protect us and completely hide the aura of things that do not belong here."
"you."
Shi Wuqi emphasized these two words.
"Master Shi knows everything clearly."
Kari Gondo smiled and took the sign he pushed back and put it back on his waist. He took a sip of tea and told him:
"You must know that the master of the pavilion has five confidants. Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, yellow, green, blue, red and white. Each of us has one."
"...Is this flower a sage flower?"
"Exactly."
Shi Wuqi didn't know about Yun Ge - he had not yet traveled with Taoist Master Lin at that time. He didn't ask the person he mentioned in the silver jewelry store, so naturally he didn't know about the flower. But he knew that Wajinhua was very precious and its price on the black market was ridiculously high. He had a Resurrection Pill and even carried it with him. In the elixir, there was dried wax powder. It was very rare. It was exchanged with him by a former guest. It's just that this resurrecting pill doesn't really bring people back to life. It's only useful for people who have just died, and only for a moment.
Otherwise, he would have given it to Ah Qi long ago.
There is actually a complete flower in Death Shadow Pavilion, and it has been made into such a strange spiritual object. Wa Jinhua is closely related to the theory that Nuwa created humans, and it can indeed suppress the evil spirit of monsters. Then some things make sense.
Kari Gondo added: "A long time ago, Lord Ruyue came to visit the Shadow Pavilion. She wanted to draw Wa Jinhua's appearance... but of course there was no chance. I heard that she went to Jintong Township to try her luck a while ago. Hopefully, she will gain something.”
Liu Hanxue explains Ru Yuejun, he knows a thing or two. If she really paints the flowers of the sage, all the flowers in the world will disappear.
"I understand. So... next question: Did you teach Miss Yuting how to drive away corpses?"
"who?"
Although Kari Gondo was still smiling, he was obviously confused, and it was not like he was pretending. Shi Wuqi didn't answer him and let him think hard for a while.
"Ah, ah...I remember, you mean the girl herding sheep outside the town?"
"good."
"I'm really sorry. I taught too many people and I can't remember them all clearly. Hey, naturally I have to cast a wide net before I can meet you. By the way, let the reputation of Lord Bai Skeleton spread among people."
"Thank you so much." Shi Wuqi's face was expressionless, but his tone was sarcastic.
In the game between businessmen and businessmen, he believed that he did not need to be unnecessarily modest. That's all for laymen. In private, there's no need to be so polite. What's more, he didn't have a good impression of the person in front of him - this monster.
"You're welcome. Do you have any more questions?"
"The last one" Shi Wuqi raised his index finger, "It's not really a question. It should be said that it's a confirmation of a question."
"Master Shi, I just say it doesn't matter."
"Whether it is a bank that circulates ghost coins or a gambling house that cleans up its money, I still can't figure out why you have any connection with Qing Lize's famous corpse exorcism technique? What is its use? Could it be a personal hobby? Previously, I have never been sure, this is a somewhat bold idea... Please forgive me if I offend."
"Mr. Shi, do you have any ideas? Please tell me quickly. I'm really interested in your speculation."
"The bank and the gambling house are very close, and you don't need to move around to operate here. But I heard that you often go out - especially to enter and exit the six spiritual channels, so I was a little suspicious. Until I met you Now, I noticed that there is more to you than just this hidden evil spirit..."
"More?" Shou Gongduo raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The smell of people. But not living people, dead people - lots of dead people."
"so?"
"You and some of your subordinates from various places used the excuse of driving away corpses to transport a lot of prohibited goods. This time they should be some precious herbs. I don't know whether you are responsible for transporting them or taking them to Qinglize. It doesn't matter, human corpses are easy to You can pass the inspections at various checkpoints. You can also easily launder the money you earn in the area where you operate."
Kari Gondo suddenly clapped his hands.
"Yes, yes, I really did not misjudge the person. He is indeed the Lord of Hundred Skeletons, I really admire him. In this way...I believe you can help me with what I want to discuss with you."
He slowly opened his eyes. In his green eyes, the thin vertical pupils were like a black crack, and his smile continued.
