Chapter four hundred and fifty-sixth: Past and present
"Let me tell you something exciting and good."
In the complete silence, Mr. Jiyue broke the silence with just the right volume. It was not so sudden that it was shocking, nor was it so small that it was difficult to detect. People looked at him with a heavy hope, hoping for him.
His mouth can really bring some news to liven up the atmosphere.
However, Mr. Jiyue stopped talking at this moment. He just whistled softly, and the door slowly opened. The cool breeze in August first tentatively took a step forward, and then barged in unceremoniously. They all poked their heads,
But I didn’t see anyone standing outside. However, I heard the noise and lowered my head first.
I lowered my head and saw a sturdy brown "four-legged snake" swaying its four claws and swaggering in. It held its head high, looked left and right, and looked very proud - I don't know because of its beautiful size.
Or it is holding something interesting in its mouth.
This thing that was almost the same size as itself was wrapped in an old but clean cloth. It stepped forward quickly with its calves, and everyone stared at it with wide eyes. Whether it was the little visitor or the words in its mouth.
The strips are all very strange. Xie Zhe was the first to bend
He got down and stretched out his palm. The four-legged snake jumped up without hesitation, followed his arm all the way to the table, and jumped down consciously. Then, it quickly twisted its head, briefly shaking the people around it.
After observing for a while, he jumped off the table and walked away.
Except for Ling Huan, who was a little scared and leaned back hard, everyone else was very interested. However, it seemed that the four-legged snake didn't take her seriously either. Wenying looked at it in a special way, and its every move
Every movement was caught in sight. But similarly, the four-legged snake did not linger in front of her. But judging from its bright mind, it seemed to know that this fox regarded 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 showed a confused look. Lord Jiyue slowly straightened up from the side, walked forward, closed the door, and turned around 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-Jun 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 after leaving that realm, you can also
The ground was switched to the color of other environments. I imagined that it must often travel to and from the Cinnabar Desert and places outside the desert, so I was interested in getting to know it. Without further ado, you should see if that thing is what you need.
Yes. I have entrusted that little friend to keep it during this period of time."
In fact, when he saw the thing, Xie Zhe already knew what was inside. Sometimes his eyes could see things - things that should not be seen by ordinary people, or things that were hidden. What he saw was not the object itself.
, but a certain nature of it. And the smell of this thing was also identified by Han Sheng 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 used by Xue Miyin. It is also part of the Demon Sealing Blade.
She was still holding the last part of the cloth in one hand. When this thing was completely revealed in front of her, her sluggishness showed an unusual value. Some memories emerged, not complete, but she didn't want to recall too much.
.It’s not bad, but she had a premonition that it would make her more uncomfortable. On that day, they lost more than just this 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 this happen? The color of its cover has become so dim that it looks gray. The papers are old
There are too many leaves, like leaves that have lost water, and they seem to break if you pinch them with a little force. But maybe what disappears is not the water, but some kind of vitality.
The current appearance of Wan Guizhi seems to have been buried in the ground for a long time. It is not like the effect that this short journey can produce. Thinking about it carefully, maybe it has gradually become like this after 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 the 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 move rashly. The dagger was still in Ling Huan's hand, her hand was ice cold, but not trembling, maybe she was so stiff that she was shaking
They can't do it anymore. They can always recall what Shen Wujun said to Xie Zhe at that time, and what happened when Xue Miyin plunged the dagger into it for the first time. This is by no means easy. But now everything
Guishi has been consumed like this, so it should be...
"I'll 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'll do it."
Xie Zhe, who was about to take the knife from Ling Huan, was stunned. He was silent for a moment, withdrew his hand and nodded slowly. With so many people sitting here watching, they were not afraid of any accidents. But Han Shang and
Wenying also looked at her worriedly. Will things go smoothly like that? No one can say. However, perhaps Lingyu, who suffered the most for this thing, is the best person to solve it. Jiaomo gently put his hand on Lingyu
on his shoulders, trying to provide some comfort.
She clenched the dagger tightly in her right hand, covered the other side with her left hand, and raised her hand steadily. Soon, she stabbed it without hesitation.
Nothing happened.
There was a very light muffled sound, which was the sound of the tip of the knife hitting the table. It was pierced so easily. After all, even an ordinary book should not be pierced so easily. It
It is more fragile than it looks. No liquid or light will escape 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 pile of dust slowly dispersed as if consciously. They settled evenly from all sides of the table and fell to the ground, leaving no trace behind. It seemed that some of them were stuck to them.
There are no traces on the clothes, and no dust will appear no matter how you pat them. Wan Guizhi seems 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 can just keep this thing. I believe it is more suitable for you to have it 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 still a little embarrassed, but obviously Shi Wuqi didn't mean it that way. He pursed his lips and smiled, and said nothing more. But at this time, Master Lintian said to them
A new topic.
"The Death Shadow Pavilion has made some moves recently."
"What action?"
So people became vigilant again. Fortunately, they all had a good rest, and the topic this night was really full of ups and downs. But Jiaomo didn't react to this, and she still looked solemn.
"Actually, I also learned a little bit about the situation from Ye Xuici. Although it was not that Shen Wujun deliberately said it - after all, that woman is also very smart and cannot leak information without reward. But we already know that the bad words are not there
Already."
"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 Guixiangu all over every corner of the Death Shadow Pavilion. It can no longer be observed from the outside world.
They 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 was originally found..."
"What are they planning?"
"The information is very limited. But according to Ye Xuici, she can't go back now. Shenwujun 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's actually 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 allow them to 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 that 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?"
Lintian Master sent out such an invitation. For him to open this mouth, perhaps 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 Jiyue Jun did not express their stance.
Instead, they looked at a few people with a silent plea. Others looked at each other, and finally everyone's eyes fell on Xie Zhe.
Both Android and Apple are available.]
This was a silent responsibility. He didn't know whether he should take it or not. He cast his eyes on Ling Huan with a look that he didn't know whether it was asking for help. He 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.
