In the evening, after Xu Huiling and the other three returned to the B&B hotel, Xu Huiling told Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei not to disturb her unless the sky fell. Although Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei were confused, they didn't want to ask too much, so they could only move freely.

After Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei went out to look for food, Xu Huiling sat in the room by herself, staring at the two paintings in a daze, repeatedly thinking about the relationship between the five poisons and the six-pointed star.

Xu Huiling used a pen to write the name of a poison on each corner of the six-pointed star, snake, scorpion, centipede, toad, spider.

"But that's not right, what is the other one? Aren't the five poisons just these five?"

Xu Huiling, who was puzzled, turned her gaze to another painting. After repeatedly looking at the eyes on the drawing, Xu Huiling picked up a pencil and added a pair of glasses to the painting.

Seeing the pair of eyes with glasses, Xu Huiling's face showed a look of consternation.

"Gu Manming, if the man in black is him, then the Gen used by Gen must be a "Gen Institution". ”

Xu Huiling picked up the phone, planning to tell the boss about the man in black and Gu Manming first.

"Hey, Ling'er, what did you find?"

The voice of the boss on the other end of the phone was a little hoarse, and he felt that the whole person was in a bad state.

"What's wrong with you, boss? ”

"I'm eating hot pot, it's too spicy. What has been discovered, said. ”

Xu Huiling reported to the boss in detail what happened after coming to Qianhu Miao Village on the phone, but when Gu Manming was also one of the men in black, the boss's calm tone made Xu Huiling even more confused. Could it be that the boss had already known that Gu Manming had something to do with this incident If you knew why didn't you tell me at the beginning One by one question marks began to sprout in Xu Huiling's mind.

"Boss, did you know about Gu Manming early on?"

Xu Huiling couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart and began to ask the boss.

"I guess it should have something to do with the Gen Agency, but you don't have to check the specific evidence. There have always been two branches within the Gen organization, one for Xiangxi to drive out corpses, and the other for refining Gu to make pills. The people of the Gen organization have always been yin. Because of this, the work of hunting for the spirits is the responsibility of the Gen Agency. At the beginning, the branch of Xiangxi to drive out the corpse suffered heavy casualties in the internal fighting, and then gradually disappeared. And this branch of Gu refining pills later changed its own rules, and Gu refining was passed on to women but not to men, and later it gradually declined. Gu Manming was an ambitious person, and he had always wanted to make the Gen Organization strong again, so he secretly learned a lot of Gu refining and evil sect methods. The idea is how to annex the remaining institutions. ”

"I haven't been able to understand why the art of Gu refining is passed on to women and not to men?"

Xu Huiling asked curiously.

"Because men learn Gu, it is inevitable that there will be people with bad intentions. After learning, use Gu to control the body and mind of the woman, so that you can do bad things. So later, the rules were changed, and the art of refining Gu can only be passed on to women, not men. ”

"And what about the boss of the Gen Agency, who just sits idly by?"

Xu Huiling poured herself wine and leaned back on the sofa, intending to ask the boss for the ins and outs.

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and there was a sound of chewing food. The boss of the east fence chewed the contents of his mouth before he exhaled and replied.

"I haven't seen her for almost ten years, and it is said that when she disappeared, she still had a dozen Gu cronies with her. The current Gen institutions are all in Gu Manming's hands, and they are followed by a rabble of people who steal and learn evil methods. If this continues, sooner or later, the Gen institution will also exist in name only. ”

"I have a silver medal carved with a six-pointed star in my hand, which was dropped by one of the black men, do you know what it is?"

Xu Huiling held the silver medal in her other hand, still confused.

"The round one, right? That is the identity card of the branch of the Gen organization, the branch of Xiangxi chasing corpses is engraved with a spell pattern with the three words of great leadership, and the carving of the branch of Gu refining is a six-pointed star. ”

"Then why is it a six-pointed star? Isn't it true that Gu refining uses five kinds of poisons?"

After listening to Xu Huiling's doubts, the boss laughed coldly on the phone.

"What do you think is more poisonous than the five poisons?"

Hearing this, Xu Huiling was stunned for a moment. He put down the silver medal and raised his glass, his tone becoming cold.

"There is no more poisonous than the human heart. ”

"Yes, yes. The reason why the branch of the Gu is the pattern of the six-pointed star is because there is another poison that is the human heart.

At this point, all the doubts in Xu Huiling's heart have been solved. The six-pointed star represents the six poisons in the world, snakes, scorpions, centipedes, toads, and spiders, and what is more poisonous than these five poisons is the human heart. ”

"What about Zhang Han? The man in black who jumped off the cliff said that Zhang Han also has memories of his previous life, what's going on? Zhang Han was from our Dongli in his previous life?"

Xu Huiling's tone was a little eager, after all, Zhang Han was far from being involved because it was as simple as it seemed.

"Zhang Han's affairs will be talked about when you come back. ”

Hearing this, Xu Huiling lowered her head and was silent. The boss's voice rang again on the other end of the phone, flat but meaningful.

"You guys pack up and go back to the tavern tomorrow, Gu Manming shouldn't show up in the short term, and it's time for Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei's potential to be enlightened. ”

After saying that, the boss of the east fence had already hung up the phone. Xu Huiling was left alone and leaned on the sofa.

Xu Huiling turned her head to look at the red oil-paper umbrella on the desk and said lightly.

"I didn't expect your affairs to get more and more complicated, but don't worry, I will definitely help you settle this grievance. ”

After Xu Huiling finished speaking, the red oil-paper umbrella on the table shook back and forth a few times, and seemed to be nodding in response to Xu Huiling.

Xu Huiling walked out of the room, and the light in the living room was dim. Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei hadn't come back yet, and when they saw the scene in front of them, a wave of melancholy surrounded Xu Huiling.

The boss said that he wanted to open up the potential of Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei, but what their potential was, Xu Huiling herself did not know. Just turn on the method, and the boss should send it to himself later. Xu Huiling is worried about whether they will be able to accept their potential once they open it, or maybe they will be as happy as they are now after opening their potential.

At the barbecue stall, Xi Fei was eating something while asking Lin Xiaoxiao.

"I always feel that Sister Ling is weird these days, as if there is something she hasn't told us. ”

"I also think, by the way, I'll tell you something. ”

"What?"

Xi Fei looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with his ears pricked up, and his curiosity exploded in an instant.

Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her tone, and Xi Fei said with a serious face.

"Last night, I got up to drink water. Then I heard a voice in Sister Ling's room, so I quietly went over and listened, guess what I heard? Sister Ling was talking to a woman. ”

After listening to Lin Xiaoxiao's words, Xi Fei's eyes widened and he looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with a frightened expression.

"Isn't that suite just for you and Sister Ling?"

Lin Xiaoxiao still looked serious, and her tone of voice began to become firm.

"It's just me and Sister Ling, but there's a female ghost in Sister Ling's room. ”

"There is ......"

Xi Fei opened his mouth wide, and when he was about to shout out, Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly covered his mouth.

"Don't scream, you're not stupid. ”

Xi Fei nodded, swallowed his saliva, and muttered to Lin Xiaoxiao in a low voice.

"How do you know that there are female ghosts in Sister Ling's room?"

Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her voice and whispered to Xi Fei.

"I heard it by the door, that female ghost is Zhang Han. Sister Ling has been talking to her in the middle of the night, and it is estimated that we are here to find the person who harmed Zhang Han this time. ”

"Then why didn't Sister Ling tell us anything?"

Xi Fei felt a chill in his back, and he shivered from time to time.

"Just you coward, can Sister Ling tell you? Maybe it's because you're cowardly that I'm involved, otherwise I might have followed Sister Ling to find Zhang Han's murderer. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei at the barbecue stall argued endlessly while eating. In the far corner, Xu Huiling secretly observed the two. In the mobile phone he was holding was a text message from the boss just now, which contained the method of opening up the potential of Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei.

"I hope you two will be so happy in the future, and in a few days, you will officially join the East Fence. ”

Xu Huiling stood in place and watched for a long time, with a smile on her face. Then, Xu Huiling silently turned around and left, and a lonely back disappeared into the night............
