Jin Buhuan was horrified by the sight of him before he left, as if his most secret thoughts had nowhere to hide, from inside to outside.
"Daddy? Daddy!" Xiaodie shook his arm, unable to hide the excitement on her face.
Jin Buhuan came back to his senses, waved his hand towards his daughter, and thought about the formula from beginning to end. He felt that the other party had not tampered with it. He was secretly glad that he had made the right bet. If it were Meng Zhongliu who was greedy and greedy, he would not be able to rob her. Pass them spells.
"Xiaodie, what do you think of Master Wei?" he suddenly asked.
Xiaodie blinked, "How about what?"
"Can he be entrusted with it for life?"
Xiaodie understood what her father was referring to, shook her head, and said sadly: "The slave family is like a fallen flower. Immortal Master Wei despises the slave family. Last night he just asked the slave family. It was just a question, without any other meaning."
"He is a very nice person. He doesn't look down on us or deceive us just because we are natives. If you can follow him, I will feel relieved."
Xiaodie hesitated for a moment and said: "Why don't I go to the slave family again tonight and ask him to take him in and be a slave and a maid, making cattle and horses, and the slave family won't be afraid."
Jin Buhuan touched his daughter's hair and said with a smile: "It's useless. I just said it casually. Opportunity is so illusory. If you miss it, you will miss it. Xiaodie, Master Jinxian is dead, and the spell you most wanted to learn is gone. Once you get it, don’t go to the Immortal Master to please you anymore, focus on practicing your magic. After a few days, I will take you to settle in Tieling Town. The village is too small and closed, so staying here is not a long-term solution."
"Yes, the Nu family also wants to go to Tieling Town to broaden their horizons." Xiaodie also doesn't want to use sexual intercourse with others. It has been her dream since she was a child to leave the Barbarian Bone Forest and go to a wider world.
"You must keep your spells a secret. If other immortal masters know about it, you may cause trouble. Immortal Master Wei said that you should keep your mouth shut. Do you know what this sentence means?"
Xiaodie nodded, "The slave family knows it, and the slave family will not tell it."
Jin Buhuan sighed, looked at his daughter lovingly, and said in his heart: "It's a pity that Master Wei Xian came too late..."
The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having the jade. Jin Buhuan is a smart man. He took a huge risk in this transaction, but fortunately he did not make it self-defeating.
Wei Shiqi used his body to practice sorcery. Although his cultivation deviated from the Kunlun path, he still adhered to the Taoism of the Xiandu sect of "no dust, no worries". Jin Buhuan was the leader of the clan. Since he could get the red jade box , there must be something even rarer hidden, a method of coercion, inducement, and plunder, but he couldn't do it - it was not because he couldn't hear it, but he really didn't want it - he was in a bad mood, and the gain was not worth the loss.
He had no time to think about it carefully for a moment, so he casually put the red jade box into the rotten silver ring and wandered around the village alone, looking at the different customs and customs to kill time.
It was almost afternoon when Wei Shiqi met Kou Yucheng by the frozen river.
The river is a tributary of the Tongtian River, winding through the southwest corner of the village. It is freezing cold, with a thick layer of ice on the surface, and the undercurrent under the ice is still turbulent and rapid.
Kou Yucheng took the initiative to say hello, but his face was a little gloomy. He winked at him, as if he had something to say. Wei Shiqi understood and followed him out of the village, along the earth wall to the bank of Tongtian River.
The great river flows eastward, and its current is as turbid as anger.
"What's the matter?" Wei Shiqi asked.
Kou Yucheng smiled bitterly and said: "The situation has changed. It's not good. There seems to be something hidden."
"Tell me."
"There are nine second-generation disciples stationed in the Turen village, three from the Yujian Sect, three from the Five Elements Sect, one from the Poison Sword Sect, one from the Hook Sect, and one from the Feiyu Sect. So far, three people have died, including Jin Yibiao from the Five Elements Sect. , Xu You of the Yujian Sect, Shen Changhe of the Gouyan Sect. Among the remaining six, there is a junior brother of the Five Elements Sect who has a good relationship with me. His surname is Ou, his name is Silu, Missing Si, Bailu's Lu, he has The nickname is 'Owner Bird'."
Owe a bird? Wei Shiqi thought for a while and found that this nickname was a word play. The word "OU" was split into "区" and "Qian", and "Qian" was replaced with "bird", which means "Ou Si Lu". There is "Ou Lu" in ancient books. The fable of "forgetting the machine" is very consistent with his name. He nodded and said: "Oulu Wangji, it's very interesting."
Kou Yucheng's expression was a little strange and he said: "Junior Brother Wei is a thoughtful person. He chose this nickname himself and he was proud of it for a while."
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Junior brother Ou is originally a straightforward person, outspoken, and not very frivolous. If there is any weakness, it is that he is more greedy for food and drink. I went to see him last night and found that his words were flickering and fearful. He shrank, as if there was something he was hiding and I didn't dare to say it. I felt something was wrong, so I talked with him for a long night and tried some tricks to get the words out of him."
"At that time, Jin and Xu set out to explore the footprints in the upper reaches of the Tongtian River. Junior Brother Ou happened to be looking for mushrooms in the dense forest and saw them flying with their swords. Wild mushrooms are often highly poisonous. Although the natives know their deliciousness, they He dared not eat it. Junior Brother Ou said that the more poisonous the mushrooms, the stronger the taste. He tried his best to search for the master's anti-poison pills, and every now and then he would find some mushrooms to satisfy his craving."
"Shortly after Jin Yibiao and Xu You left, a man jumped out of the Tongtian River. He was completely naked. He stopped and watched for a long time, and then jumped into the river. He chased after him like a fish. He was not much slower than the flying sword. At that time, Junior Brother Ou felt something was wrong. The man's back looked familiar. He was hiding in the river and was sneaking around, as if he didn't want to be noticed by others. He hid in the bushes, not even daring to breathe, and waited for a long time. There was no movement for an hour, so I plucked up the courage to return to the village."
"Junior brother Ou thought he was interested. He came over one by one and found that there was one missing person among his fellow disciples. Qiuzodi from the Sword Control Sect. He has a withdrawn personality and has always been a loner. He is cold-faced towards everyone. I don't know. For some reason, Meng Zhongliu took very good care of him, and everyone secretly speculated whether Qiu Zodi might be Meng Zhongliu’s illegitimate son, as the two people’s appearances are vaguely similar.”
"Junior brother Ou didn't dare to tell Meng Zhongliu. At noon on the third day, he found Qiu Zidi suddenly appeared in the village with a dead face, as if nothing had happened. At dusk on the fourth day, Jin Yibiao wielded his sword. He fled back to the village, seriously injured and unconscious. Meng Zhongliu personally applied medicine to him, but it still couldn't stop the spread of the poison, so he used a golden needle to stimulate all his remaining energy and asked him to understand the reason. Ou The junior brother became alert and deliberately spied on him, and found that when Meng Zhongliu was applying acupuncture, Qiu Zidi subconsciously licked his lips, his tongue was sharp and thin, and the front end was bifurcated, like a snake."
When Wei Shiqi heard this, he suddenly remembered Qi Yunhe's flat human skin and thought deeply in his heart.
