After making the gesture, Cen Biqing saw that there was no one else in the room, so she took out the paper and pen from her sleeves and wanted to write her findings to Qin Shaoyou.
In the past few days, in response to the situation where Qin Shaoyou was poisoned by a puppet, everyone carried pens and paper with them so that they could communicate with Qin Shaoyou in time when needed, without having to rush around to find paper and pen.
But at this moment, seeing Cen Biqing about to write, Qin Shaoyou waved his hand to her, telling her not to worry.
Immediately, he used the method taught by Taoist Qiu Shi, holding a mouthful of blood in his throat and stimulating the base of his tongue in a special pattern.
This feeling is somewhat weird and perverted.
Soon, Qin Shaoyou felt a sharp pain at the base of his tongue.
He hurriedly cast an inquiring look at Taoist Qiu Shi, and wanted to snatch the pen and paper from Cen Biqing's hand, write out the situation, and ask Taoist Qiu Shi if something had gone wrong.
Before he could take action, Taoist Master Qiu Shi spoke after seeing his reaction.
"Do you feel severe pain at the base of your tongue? That's right. When the puppet parasitizes at the base of your tongue, it will release toxins to paralyze your perception. Now it is hypnotized by the poison in the tongue and no longer releases this toxin, so you feel the pain.
Through this, we can judge whether the vood within the voodoo is effective."
"This is too painful." Qin Shaoyou grinned.
However, since the severe pain at the base of his tongue was no problem, he was relieved. Not wanting to waste time and suffer more, he immediately asked Cen Biqing: "Do you have any important findings to report?"
Cen Biqing put away the paper and pen and said quickly: "In the past two days, there have been more snakes and rats in the village. Although they burrowed and hid in the ground, they couldn't hide it from me. And those rats are not afraid of me, and the snakes don't listen to me.
The command."
"There are more snakes and rats, but they are still not afraid of you and do not obey your orders?"
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly.
Cen Biqing is a snake spirit and is born with the ability to command snakes. However, the snakes in Zhuangzi do not listen to her orders, and the mice are not afraid of her. In this case, there is only one possibility: behind those snakes and mice, there are other, more powerful
For a powerful existence!
Qin Shaoyou immediately thought of the mysterious powers around Old Qingtang King.
Could it be those weird beings controlling the snakes and rats to monitor them?
The old King of Qingtang was really cautious. He was still worried after being bewitched by him, so he sent snakes and rats to act as spies.
Qin Shaoyou thought of this and said: "I know about this. Don't disturb those rats and snakes for the time being. Go out and remind everyone to be careful when speaking in the future. They must be careful not only against people, but also against birds and insects."
beast."
Cen Biqing accepted the offer and turned around to leave the house. Taoist Qiu Shi also left together.
At this time, Qin Shaoyou dispersed the blood in his throat. After about four or five breaths, the pain at the base of his tongue began to lessen and disappeared quickly.
During this process, Qin Shaoyou was also thinking about countermeasures.
He had discussed with Qin Qiaoer and others before and believed that the strange beings around the old King Qingtang were probably the ghosts and gods believed in in Qingtang.
They are said to be gods, but they are not true gods, but rather powerful monsters with strange abilities.
These things are also found among the Xia people, and most of them are wild gods and evil gods that are not recognized.
For example, in Jincheng before, the female prostitute named Zhao Ping'er believed in the Black Dragon King, who was an evil god.
Most of the popular ghosts and gods in Qingtang are big ghosts and monsters who are worshiped with incense... Even in the witch temple where the inner guards of Qingtang were captured, powerful ghosts like the Ghost King Yama are enshrined.
So the person who sent snakes and rats to the village to monitor them this time was probably the Snake Fairy and Rat God from Qingtang.
"I don't know what kind of promises and tributes Old Qingtang King made to let these wild gods and evil gods work for him. Although the strength of these things is not as good as true gods, or even worse than demigods, but often
He has some kind of special ability and it’s very troublesome to deal with it.”
Qin Shaoyou was thinking about countermeasures, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he thought of an idea.
"Since these wild gods and evil gods can be driven by the old King Qingtang, can I also draw a big pie and buy them off? If the enemy can use it, I can also use it. Although I don't know what the old King Qingtang gave them.
There are benefits, but the pie I can draw is definitely something that Old Qingtang King cannot give."
When Qin Shaoyou thought of this, he immediately activated the mimicry order and left the house, heading straight to a ditch in Zhuangzi.
He first drained the blood gas, checked the surrounding area, and made sure no one was following or monitoring him, and then sent a stream of blood gas into the ditch.
After a while, the river crab came out of the ditch, a little bigger than before.
Such a big crab was too eye-catching, so when Qin Shaoyou came to Zhuangzi, he found an opportunity to put it into the ditch and let it lurk inside, and not to show up without his own orders.
He Xie also listened to Qin Shaoyou's words, and he had been hiding without being discovered these days.
The people in Zhuangzi just felt that there were a lot less fish and shrimps in the ditch, but they didn't think much about it. They just thought they were scared away by the daily training activities of the barbarian soldiers.
Qin Shaoyou took another mouthful of blood in his throat, and when he felt the pain at the base of his tongue, he said to He Xie, "You go immediately and invite my brother over and ask him to come quickly."
The river crab clamped its pincers to show that it understood, and immediately dived into the ditch and disappeared.
"If I ask Uncle Bai Qingjiang to come and speak out, I can always win over a few wild gods who want to become a full-time official, right?"
Qin Shaoyou thought this while dispersing the blood in his throat.
In the blink of an eye, two days later, before Bai Qingjiang Shuibo arrived, Qin Shaoyou was invited to the mansion by the chief of the Hanshuang tribe and asked in detail about the death of his youngest son Dawang.
With the blessing of [Skillful Tongue], Qin Shaoyou told this experience in such a way that it not only made Jiaba unable to blame him, but also thanked him for taking the risk and facing the demons to save Tawang.
As for Tawang not being rescued, we can only blame him for not having a source of good fortune and those damn monsters, but not Dazan.
"Man Dazan, thank you for your generous help. These coins are a little bit of my heart, and I hope you can accept them."
Jiaba clapped his hands, and then a servant came out with a tray on which was placed a stack of banknotes.
After some polite excuses, Qin Shaoyou accepted the banknotes, chatted with Jiaba for a while, and then left.
After watching Qin Shaoyou leave, Jiaba turned around and knelt down on one knee towards the house.
"Get up."
A voice sounded inside the house.
Immediately afterwards, the light in the room began to change, and a burly middle-aged man appeared in the changing light, sitting on a chair.
In fact, this middle-aged man had been in the house all along. He had used supernatural objects to distort the light around him, thus achieving the effect of invisibility.
This middle-aged man is none other than Haibulu, the third prince of Qingtang.
Previously, he was conquering the barbarians in the northern frontier of Qingtang. After hearing the news of the death of the old King of Qingtang, he hurriedly handed over the affairs of the northern frontier to his subordinates for temporary management. He took a few personal followers and hurried off.
return.
Although the Qingtang people are regarded as barbarians by the Xia Kingdom, they do not think so themselves, and even regard themselves as Chinese orthodox. At the same time, there are other foreign races in their northeastern border, which they regard as savages, which can be regarded as a chain of contempt.
.
Due to some mysterious obstruction, Haibulu received the news a long time after the death of the old King Qingtang, so it was not until now that he rushed back to the royal city.
It is even very possible that Haibulu can successfully return to the royal city because the old King Qingtang wants him to come back...
After Jiaba stood up, Haibulu spoke: "That person just now is the cool official who has been in the limelight recently?"
"It's him." Although Jiaba stood up, he still maintained a respectful look.
"Lao Qi is good at picking dogs."
Haibulu sneered and asked, "Can this vicious dog be tied into our yard?"
"It's hard."
Jiaba shook his head.
"He was promoted by the Seventh Prince. I'm afraid he won't be used by us."
Seeing a hint of disappointment on Haibulu's face, Jiaba couldn't help but ask: "Third Prince, I don't understand why you didn't kill him just now? Killing him will definitely affect the power of the Seventh Prince in the royal city.
