"Let me tell you something exciting and good."
In the complete silence, Lord Jiyue broke the silence with just the right volume. It's not so sudden that it's startling, and it's not so subtle that it's hard to notice. People looked at him with a heavy hope that his mouth would bring some news that would liven up the atmosphere.
However, Lord Jiyue stopped talking at this moment. He just whistled softly and the door slowly opened. The cool breeze of August first tentatively took a step forward, and then broke in unceremoniously. They all poked their heads in, but saw no one standing outside. However, when Ling Quan heard the noise, he lowered his head first and watched as a sturdy brown "four-legged snake" swaggered in with its four claws swinging. It held its head high, looked left and right, and looked very proud - I don't know if it was because of its beautiful shape or because it was holding something interesting in its mouth.
This thing that was no different from its size was wrapped in an old and clean cloth. It kicked up its calves and hurried forward, and everyone stared at it with wide eyes. Whether it is the little visitor or the strip in its mouth, it is extremely strange. Xie Zhe first bent down and stretched out his palm. The four-legged snake jumped up without hesitation, followed his arm to the table, and jumped down again consciously. Then, it quickly twisted its head, briefly observed the people around it, jumped off the table, and walked away.
Except for Ling Hu, who was a little scared and leaned back hard, everyone else was very interested. But it seemed that the four-legged snake didn't take her seriously either. There was something special about the way Wenying stared at it, and every move it made was caught in front of her. But similarly, the four-legged snake did not stay in front of her. But judging from its bright mind, it seems that it knows that this fox regards itself as the prey on the menu.
"Is this a gecko? I've never seen such a big one..."
Looking at the little shadow that disappeared in a flash outside the door, Ling Huan looked confused. Lord Jiyue then slowly straightened up from the side, walked forward and closed the door, turned around and came to the table.
"This is much larger than the average gecko." Shi Wuqi said, "The gecko is only called that if it appears inside the house and climbs the wall. People usually just call it a four-legged snake. Such a big one usually has to be in the house. You can only see it in the desert or the Gobi Desert."
Master Lintian nodded slightly. "Indeed, I'm afraid this is another child Jiyue-kun has met recently."
"You still understand me. It lives in the cinnabar desert. Although I knew that the dead place must have its own life, I never thought it would be so interesting. Even though it is such a color now. When it gets to the sand, it will It will become exactly the same as the blood-red gravel. And it can switch to the color of other environments freely when it leaves the boundary. I guess that it must often travel to and from the Cinnabar Desert, and it will be interested in getting to know places outside the desert. After a while. Without further ado, you might as well see if that thing is what you need. During this period, I have entrusted that little friend to keep it."
In fact, when he saw the thing, Xie Zhe already knew what was inside. Sometimes his eyes can see things - things that should not be seen by ordinary people, or things that are hidden. What he sees is not the object itself, but some quality of it. The smell of this thing was also identified by Han Zhang and Wenying. Only Ling Huan stretched out his hand and slowly untied the cloth under the gaze of everyone.
That's right, it's the dagger they are familiar with - the one Xue Miyin used. That is part of the Demon Sealing Blade.
She was still holding the last part of the cloth in one hand. When this thing was fully revealed to her, her dullness took on an unusual value. Some memories emerge, not complete enough, but I don’t want to recall too much. It wasn't that it was bad, but she had a premonition that it would make her more uncomfortable. That day, they lost more than just an old friend.
"I went to Juiyun Peak to do some things, not long ago... Then, the mountain god there entrusted me with such a thing. I'm afraid it was picked up by the creatures there. I'm afraid that at that time, you didn't pay attention to it. Above. Now that I have come back, I think it must mean that it is time to deal with one of your troubles."
The next thing that was spread out on the table was the book—the book that had become frivolous for some reason. when did it happen? The color of its cover has become so dim that it looks gray. Those papers were too old, like leaves that had lost their moisture, and seemed to break if you pinched them with just a little force. But maybe it’s not the water that disappears, but some kind of life force.
The current appearance of Wan Guizhi seems to have been buried in the dust for a long time, and it is not like this short journey can produce the effect at all. If you think about it carefully, maybe it has gradually become like this since the last "that incident".
"It consumes a lot." Master Lintian said, "But that doesn't mean it's no longer dangerous."
"It's time to fulfill our promise to that general."
Several people looked at each other in silence, staring blankly at Wan Gui Zhi on the table, but no one dared to act rashly. The dagger was still in Ling Huan's hand. Her hand was cold but not trembling. It might be that she was so stiff that she couldn't do it even if she trembled. They could always recall what Shen Wujun said to Xie Zhe at that time, and what happened when Xue Miyin thrust the dagger in for the first time. It's never easy. But now that Wanguishi has been consumed like this, it should be...
"Let me do it."
Seeing how silent they were, Shi Wuqi stood up without mind. But Xie Zhe stopped him.
"Since it is something that General Shi has entrusted to us, we should complete it ourselves."
"I come."
Xie Zhe, who was about to take the knife from Ling Huan, was stunned. He was silent for a moment, took his hand back, and nodded slowly. With so many people sitting here watching, they are not afraid of any accidents. But Han Chang and Wenying also looked at her worriedly. Will things work out that way? It's hard for anyone to say. However, perhaps Ling Quan, who suffered the most for this thing, is the best person to solve it. Jiao Mo gently put his hand on Ling Huan's shoulder, trying to provide some comfort.
Her right hand clenched the dagger tightly, her left hand covered the other side, and she raised her hand steadily. Soon, she stabbed without hesitation.
Nothing happened.
There was a very light muffled sound, which was the sound made by the tip of the knife hitting the table. It was pierced so easily. After all, even an ordinary book shouldn't be pierced so easily. It's more fragile than it looks. There will be no liquid or light and shadow spilling out from the place where the dagger pierces, leaving only an ordinary, vertical ravine after the blade leaves.
Everyone stood up and looked at it seriously.
Then, starting from this gap, Wan Gui Zhi slowly dissipated and turned into a puddle of powder.
The doors and windows were tightly closed, and there was no wind at all, but the dust slowly dispersed as if consciously. They settled evenly from all sides of the table and fell to the floor, leaving no trace behind. It seemed that some of it was stained on their clothes, but there was no trace, and no dust would appear no matter how hard it was patted. Wan Guizhi seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, leaving no trace.
A strange book that could shake up the world for hundreds of years disappeared so easily.
Lord Jiyue said: "You just keep this thing. I believe it is more suitable for you to have in your hands. If you are afraid of causing trouble, you can leave it to Master Bai Skeleton to take care of it. As long as that guy doesn't use it as a bargaining chip." "
"Hey, I won't do this kind of thing, don't slander people." Shi Wuqi sneered, "If you ask me, it's better to let Miss Ye hold it. I don't know if it's the power in her hand that suppresses it, or the book. It’s really been exhausted. But even if it’s just an ordinary dagger, it’s good for self-defense. It’s impossible for a girl to have to fight with her bare hands when encountering any difficulties, right?”
"It was really like this before."
When he said this, Ling Huan was actually a little embarrassed, but it was obvious that Shi Wuqi didn't mean it that way. He pursed his lips and smiled, saying nothing more. But at this time, Master Lintian mentioned a new topic to them.
"The Death Shadow Pavilion has made some moves recently."
"What action?"
So people became vigilant again. Fortunately, they all had a good rest, so the topic this night was really full of ups and downs. Wei Jiaomo didn't react to this, her face remained solemn.
"Actually, I also learned something about the situation from Ye Xuici's mouth. Although it was not that Shen Wujun deliberately lied - after all, the woman was also very smart and could not leak information without reward. But we already know that the bad words are not there ”
"But She Ji is still there. It may be the order of the Pavilion Master." Master Lintian took a deep breath and continued, "They spread the shadow of Ghost Fairy Girl all over every corner of the Death Shadow Pavilion. It can no longer be observed from the outside world. Exist. Even many people who are rushing to trade can no longer find any trace of them. But this is nothing new. After all, not everyone can easily find such a legendary place. But now , the person who could have been found..."
"What are they planning?"
"The information is very limited. But according to Ye Xuici, she can't go back now. Shen Wujun guessed that she didn't know her plans for those people. At that time, she was absent-minded and didn't seem to intend to continue to do anything for her. The way the Death Shadow Pavilion is working hard..."
Shi Wuqi frowned and said, "There is no news at all. I have to find another way to find out from the monsters. They don't even do business, so what are they planning secretly?"
"We can no longer let them act like this." Even Lord Jiyue agreed.
"The fact that the two evil envoys are not in Death Shadow Pavilion does not mean that they have nothing to do with the incident. Although, they dare to let these two people wander outside, I am afraid they will not know too much - or they will keep silent if they know. Judging from their Searching for clues on the body is dangerous and unreliable. If you really want to find out, the most feasible way may be to go and see it yourself. I wonder if any of you are willing to participate in the investigation of this matter?"
Master Lintian sent out such an invitation. Being able to ask him to speak like this probably means that his strength has been recognized. At the same time, it also proved that he had to ask more people for help. His friends Shi Wuqi and Ji Yuejun did not express their opinions, but looked at the few people with a silent plea. The others looked at each other, and finally everyone's eyes fell on Xie Zhe.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
This is an unspoken responsibility. He didn't know whether he should bear it or not. He cast his gaze at Ling Huan, wondering whether it was a request for help, and wanted to see her attitude, but he saw that her eyes were the most expectant.
He took a deep breath and felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart.
