Xiao Mengcheng was silent for a moment and said, "How about a message about the hateless lamp?"

I was slightly stunned before I smiled and said, "An uncertain news wants to change my life?

Xiao Mengcheng said: "Brother Chen, doesn't he care about what is hidden in the Chen family's hateless lamp?"

Xiao Mengcheng saw that I didn't answer, so he said to himself: "What is in the hateless lamp, only the demons know. The patriarch of this sect has seen the hateless lamp, and he also got the "Strange Beast Recipe" from the hateless lamp, and created a demon disciple. At that time, the patriarch of this sect was still a little-known warlock. However, Master Zu has a special ability to see things that others can't see. ”

Xiao Mengcheng looked at me and said, "The patriarch of this sect once saw a secret method wrapped around the lamp spirit, how to crack this secret method, only the patriarch knows, are you sure you don't want this news?"

I couldn't help but take a deep breath: Xiao Mengcheng obviously grabbed my weakness, I am determined to win the Chen family's "White Lantern Decision", and now the only clue is on the hateless lamp, Xiao Mengcheng's conditions I can't refuse.

I pondered for a moment before saying, "I don't doubt the truth of your news. What I want to ask is, can I do this news?"

Xiao Mengcheng said: "Things in the world are between trade-offs, if you want to have it, you have to give up, and if you want to win, you have to gamble first." I think Brother Chen should understand it better than me, right?"

I am a person who is used to gambling my life, and I understand the truth of "if you want to win, you must first gamble".

I nodded slightly, "I agreed to your conditions." I would now like to ask you a third question, why did you come to the East, and what happened to you in the East?"

Xiao Mengcheng said: "I did go to Dongyang to track down the mountain and sea beast that was released under Xiaohe Village, and I suspect that it is a head of Xiangliu. ”

After listening to this, my face couldn't help but change slightly, Xiang Liu is one of the top beasts recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", with nine snake bodies, countless cannibals, and worked together with the water god to resist Dayu, and was killed by Dayu.

According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Xiangliu has been killed by Dayu. However, there is also a legend that Xiangliu was just cut off by Dayu, and his body fled to the East. The Yaki Orochi, which is popular in the East, is another incarnation of Soyanagi.

When I heard this legend, I scoffed at it, and I didn't believe it at all. In addition to the speculation about Yaqi and Xiangliu on the Internet, he also listed a series of monsters who fled from Huaxia to the East, the water tiger of Huaxia became the kappa of the East, and Suda became the former of Tamamo. I don't believe in any of these legends. I've always thought that it was a few similar myths dragged together by the editor of the Internet to attract attention.

But Xiao Mengcheng's words made me secretly surprised.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" records that Xiangliu was beheaded by Dayu, but there is no record of the whereabouts of Xiangliu's body. Could it be that Xiangliu's body was divided into several pieces and buried deep underground, and there happened to be a piece of Xiangliu's body buried there in Xiaohe Village?

I said in a deep voice, "What does Xigong Xun want Xiangliu's corpse to do?"

This is also what I wondered. Xiao Mengcheng said: "I originally thought that Xigong Xun was going to bring Xiangliu's body to the Yaqi Snake, but I thought wrong. This is not the case. Instead, they brought the beast back to the headquarters of the Xigong family, where I didn't go in, and I don't know, what did they do?"

"Originally, I was ready to infiltrate the Xigong family, but I encountered the poisoner Xie Yuanzong before I made a move. Xiao Mengcheng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I am also a demon, I have never fought a poisoner after all, and I have become what I am now." ”

I couldn't help frowning: "You mean, you don't know how you can turn into a snake with two arms?"

Xiao Mengcheng smiled bitterly again: "When you say this, don't say that Brother Chen doesn't believe it, even I can't believe it until now." ”

Xiao Mengcheng explained: "I had already planned how to enter the Xigong family, and just as I was about to act, Xie Yuanzong appeared, and he told me that he served the Xigong family. Then he forced me to play a game of thirteen drawings. I lost this game. Then my hands began to slowly turn into snakes, and even my feet began to turn into snake tails. ”

Xiao Mengcheng stopped when he said this, and I couldn't help but ask, "What are the thirteen pictures?"

Xiao Mengcheng explained: "The thirteen pictures are the thirteen strange events in the East, and every time you crack one of them, you can get a picture. Then, these drawings will all point to an important clue, as for what that clue is, because no one can solve all the pictures, and naturally no one knows what is the truth behind the thirteen pictures?"

I knocked on the table and said, "Who has cracked the thirteen pictures?"

"The Anomalous Incident Investigation Department has cracked seven of them, and I have cracked nine of them, which is the person who cracked the most pictures!" Xiao Mengcheng's face not only did not have a smug look, but also became extremely solemn.

Xiao Mengcheng said: "Thirteen pictures are actually like a game, only if you get the clues of the previous level, you can open the next level." However, you have to be aware that clues are only clues, not answers. In other words, everyone will get the first question right, but they may not be able to find the second question. If you can't even find the right question, you will naturally go down a fork in the road. Even if you go all the way and get thirteen drawings, what you end up with is a fake result. ”

I nodded slightly: "In other words, everyone's experience is not a reference, only I have to try my luck in the past, right?"

"That's right!" Xiao Mengcheng nodded and said, "So, I can't provide you with any reference." Brother Chen, I became like this because of the Thirteen Pictures, but I can't guarantee that the secret after you get the pictures will definitely save me. Because, I don't know what's hidden behind the thirteen drawings?"

I understand what Xiao Mengcheng meant, he said: Only by cracking the thirteen pictures can it be possible to save him, but it is only possible.

I gently tapped the table with my hand and didn't speak, but Ye Xuan said, "Old class, we can't take this job." It's not a good deal. We are not familiar with the Oriental life, and even the legends of the Oriental are rarely touched, how to decipher the Thirteen Pictures. If you want me to say, it's better to go directly to the little lady of Xigong Xun......"

Ye Xuan stopped halfway through his words, and he didn't know what to do with Xigong Xun?

I thought for a moment and said, "I can take over your business, but you have to make sure that the people in the Anomaly Bureau are absolutely safe, and I don't want to involve them." ”

Xiao Mengcheng frowned and said, "This...... All I can say is do your best. Xie Yuanzong usually doesn't play his cards according to common sense, and I'm afraid that he will be detrimental to the abnormal game. ”

I looked at Xiao Mengcheng with gloomy eyes.

The other party mentioned Xie Yuanzong twice, and he was quite jealous of Xie Yuanzong in his words, but he also wanted to provoke me to face off with Xie Yuanzong, was he trying to avenge himself, or was it just a reminder?

I looked at Xiao Mengcheng for a long time, and the other party was also silent, as if waiting for my final decision.

"White Lantern Duel" is indeed extremely important to me, but before I came to the East, I was not prepared for a life-and-death battle with a local warlock.

Xie Yuanzong's meeting with Xiao Mengcheng as a retainer of the Xigong family can at least explain one thing. That is, the Xigong family is not afraid of demons, and Xiao Mengcheng's distress may also be related to the Xigong family. I can't guarantee the safety of the Anomaly, and I can't predict what will happen if I rashly take over the beam between the demons.

I hesitated for a long time before I spoke: "I can take over your business, but after we communicate, all the members of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau will return to China, and Ye Xuan and I will stay and continue your business." As for whether the communication goes smoothly or not, it depends on your ability. ”

Xiao Mengcheng nodded slightly and said, "In this case, I don't embarrass Brother Chen, let's find a way to end the exchange as soon as possible." ”

Before I could nod, Ye Xuan's phone rang, Ye Xuan glanced at it, and quickly handed the phone to me. The message reads: "To the Nishinomiya family convergence." ”

After reading the information, my face suddenly changed: "Xiao Mengcheng, is this your ghost?"

Xiao Mengcheng shook his head slightly and said, "Brother Chen, I hope you can understand my style of doing things." I was an enemy of others, and I never made a move against my family. ”

I stood up and said, "I hope so!" Xuanzi, let's go!"

Before I left, I deliberately glanced at Xiao Mengcheng, and the other party's eyes were a little gloomy.

Xiao Mengcheng didn't call me, in order to retain his last bit of dignity, he is the devil in the rivers and lakes after all.

I walked to the door and stopped: "If the affairs of the Nishinomiya family have nothing to do with you, I promise to take over your business." ”

Xiao Mengcheng smiled at this time: "Mo Mei led the team to follow Brother Chen, from now on you are Brother Chen's demon guard." ”

Although I didn't see where the people arranged by Xiao Mengcheng were, I raised my hand lightly and said, "No need, I don't like people to make trouble for me." ”

I threw down a sentence and walked out of the secret room and rushed to the Xigong family, and when I arrived at the door of the Xigong family, Liu Shengjun was already waiting there, and he was very happy to see me: "Mr. Chen, we meet again." Last time, I didn't have time to thank Mr. for saving my life, but this time I must be able to do my landlord's friendship. ”

I smiled and said to Liu Shengjun: "Liu Sheng, why did the people from our Abnormal Investigation Bureau run to the Xigong family?"

Yanagi said as he walked: "The Abnormal Incident Investigation Section is actually an organization formed by the union of several families, and the head of this session is the Nishinomiya family. ”

I was curious: "Xigong is also a Shudao family?"

"Let's just say that!" Yanagi said, "The Nishinomiya family doesn't have a warlock, but the status in the Oriental warlock world is very important. Miss Xun will explain the reason to you personally. ”

When Yanagi led me into the garden, my father and the others were already sitting there, and there was still a trail of blood on the grass in the distance, as if someone had just done something here.
