"What does Master want us to do?" Lu Jing asked.
Zhihai Surong, "The fire at Taiping Bank today was not an accident, but someone did it deliberately, and they were not ordinary people. They were a group of monsters who have been working against our Si Tianjian recently, and the reason why they set the fire was , for something in the bank."
"what?"
"A magic knife." Zhihai said, "They are very concerned about that magic knife. When the knife was placed in the Star Observation Tower, they sent people to steal it. Fortunately, a supervisor tracked it down in time. After returning, Young Supervisor Guo was worried that the knife would be lost again, so he asked another inspector whom he was very optimistic about and an academy disciple to escort the knife to a safe place. As a result..."
"What happened?"
"Unexpectedly, the supervisor was greedy for life and afraid of death. Seeing the menacing attack from the other side, he and the disciple threw the knife in the Taiping Bank, and then hid themselves. He really did not deserve the trust of Young Supervisor Guo."
Xia Huai's face turned red when she heard it. Fortunately, she couldn't tell with the human skin mask she was wearing now.
But Lu Jing on the other side raised his eyes and said angrily, "What, such a thing could happen?!"
His voice was so loud that many passers-by were attracted and looked back curiously.
Zhihai was also taken aback, but later he took the initiative to excuse the two of them, "This... is not incomprehensible. After all, they have been attacked twice before, and they managed to escape with great difficulty, but they must have suffered. Some fright.
"In addition, they are not very old. Even the supervisor has just become a supervisor..."
"This is not a matter of age." Lu Jing shook his head and interrupted Zhi Hai, "Since you are a prisoner of Si Tian Prison, you should put the world first, protect the common people, and put personal life and death aside. If you encounter danger, everyone will just If you think about escaping for your life, the world has already been destroyed by strange things!"
Lu Jing's sonorous words made both Zhihai and Xia Huai look at him sideways.
Zhi Hai glanced sideways because he was impressed by Lu Jing's righteousness that was not afraid of life and death and cared about the common people.
The girl didn't expect that someone could be so thick-skinned.
But Lu Jing didn't scold himself just to refresh his lower limit.
He knew very well that Zhihai must have been suspicious when he met them here. After all, they had just disappeared for two days when two practitioners suddenly appeared, a man and a woman, and Zhihai was very unfamiliar. If he It would be strange to have no ideas.
But when Lu Jing's righteous words struck him in the face, Zhi Hai's doubts immediately eased a lot, "I haven't asked you for your names yet..."
"Qi Kui."
"Xijun."
Zhihai searched his mind and didn't have any impression of the two names, but he still said politely. In addition, he saw that Lu Jing was older and Xia Huai looked young and seemed to be still studying in the academy, so he Turn to Lu Jingdao.
"What are you looking for by using the Golden Armor?"
The Xunzi Golden Armor is not a real beetle, but a miniature magic weapon created by practitioners.
As the name suggests, it consists of a mother and a son. By injecting secret power into the formation in the mother beetle, the mother beetle can be driven to find the location of the daughter beetle.
It's a bit like Lu Jing's electronic tracker from his previous life.
Lu Jing knew in his heart that Zhihai still had not completely given up his suspicion on them, but his expression remained unchanged and he continued to talk, "To be honest, Xijun and I are here to investigate a case."
"Is the case related to strange things?"
"Yes." Lu Jing said, "And that weird thing is in Taiping Bank."
His lie was a bit risky, because if Zhihai had done some research in advance, he would know that there were no strange things in Taiping Bank.
The reason why Lu Jing dared to make this bet was because Zhihai showed that he knew everything about their escort of Heidao, including the several attacks they suffered on the way. This meant that the other party was probably following them all the time and was not there early in the morning. in this county.
Lu Jing undoubtedly made the right bet this time. The look on Zhi Hai's face was a little surprised, but when he saw that Lu Jing said so firmly, he accepted the other party's explanation.
He said apologetically, "The poor monk may have to disturb the two of you from handling the case this time."
"It doesn't matter. If what the master said is true, things on your side are more urgent. If the strange thing escapes, we can still find it, but it will take a little more time."
Seeing that Lu Jing understood the righteousness so well, Zhi Hai was also quite pleased, so he stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the topic, "The fire started by that group of monsters is very powerful. It will not be extinguished when exposed to water. Instead, it will burn more and more vigorously. It is almost unbearable." put out.
"But as a result, it will be difficult for their own people to enter the fire scene for a while, so the magic knife should still be in the warehouse of Taiping Bank. We have to get the knife before those guys."
"How to get it?" Xia Huai frowned, "If it is an ordinary flame, I can also use the Water Control Technique to wrap the person in water and rush into the fire, or try to use the ground spring to extinguish the fire, but now..."
"Now we can only fight fire with fire." Zhihai said.
"Fight fire with fire?"
"That's right, the poor monk has set up a sky fire formation around Tianping Bank. Since we can't extinguish the fire for a while, we can only change our thinking and use the fire formation to control the fire and create a passage from it."
Zhihai clasped his hands together, "The reason why the poor monk has not taken action is because he is only one person and cannot control the formation while crossing the sea of fire to find the magic knife.
"But now with the help of two of you, the poor monk's plan is finally feasible."
After saying that, he looked at Lu Jing and Xia Huai with bright eyes.
Good guy, it turns out the pit is buried here.
Lu Jing finally understood why Zhihai had not doubted his heroic words before. The monk was not stupid at all. He was just waiting for Lu Jing to dig a hole for himself.
What he said just now about caring about the common people and not fearing life and death was a direct blow to Zhi Hai's gun. If Lu Jing now refuses to do it because it is too dangerous to go deep into the fire scene, it will prove that his previous words are all lies. pull.
Zhihai also has reason to question their identity.
Lu Jing looked at Zhihai again, who also smiled at him, lowered his head and recited Amitabha softly.
"It's a trivial matter." After a moment, Lu Jing also laughed boldly, "Isn't it just to get a knife for the master? I can do it by myself."
"It's not for me, it's for the common people in the world," Zhihai corrected, paused and then asked with concern, "Is it really okay for Donor Qi to be alone?"
