265: A Looming Conspiracy

"I'm looking for you. ”

"I think so, but why did you throw me in the water? Even if I'm drunk, I can do it gently. ”

There are very few people in the demon world who know the prototype of the old man, but Ji Bai knows some. The old man is not an aquatic animal, although he is not afraid of water, but he hates water very much.

Isn't Ji Bai's way of sobering up wine unkind?

"There's no other way. Ji Bai explained casually, and then went straight to the topic and took out the few pieces of things he got from the demon world: "Do you know what this is?" ”

The old man wanted to talk to Ji Bai for a few words, but as soon as Ji Bai came up, he said the right thing, so that he didn't dare to say anything, and he lost his face and cultivation as an elder in vain.

So he coughed lowly, and after saying "You can't do this in the future" as a lesson, he squatted down and looked at the few things on the ground with Ji Bai.

I looked at it and pinched it.

looks soft, but in fact it is hard, and the black appearance can't tell why.

"Where did this come from?" the old man asked, raising his eyes to Ji Bai, the expression on his face was still the usual smiling face, and his thoughts could not be seen from above.

Ji Bai sat cross-legged on the ground, because of the lack of repair, the weeds on the ground had grown a lot, and it was a little prickly to sit, so she was waiting for the old man to solve her puzzles while fiddling with her hands, cleaning up the weeds one by one.

"I got it from the demon world. ”

"Are you going to the demon world?" Hearing Ji Bai's words, the old man's smile faded a little, and his brows furrowed slightly. It seems that he is not satisfied with Ji Bai's going to the demon world.

Ji Bai didn't care about the old man's expression, nodded and said, "Someone was caught in the demon world, I went to bring people back, and I went, these are what I got on the way." ”

"What's the matter?" the old man let go of his brows and looked at Ji Bai waiting for Ji Bai's answer. Ji Bai didn't reserve it, he told everything about the development of the matter, and casually mentioned that there were monsters in human society helping humans do bad things.

After Ji Bai finished speaking, the old man was silent for a while, and only after a long time did he squint slightly, and the look in his eyes was indescribable and inexplicable in Ji Bai's opinion.

"Do you know what it is. Ji Bai asked again, and even planned it, if she didn't even know the old man, then she would go to the library of the ancestral house to have a look.

There are a lot of books in the library pavilion, most of them are all kinds of books that the ancestors of the Ji family have bought back from generation to generation, and the rest are the materials of the Ji family.

The Ji family here includes everyone with the blood of the Ji family.

It can be seen that the further you go, the heavier the task of being the head of the Ji family, because the children of the Ji family are gradually decreasing in each generation, and even in Ji Bai's generation, she is the only one left.

And there are no elders above her, the head of the family is her, and the only thing to record is her own business.

Turning back, there are many books and materials in the Ji family's library, and there are many anecdotes, so maybe there is a record of this thing.

It's just hard to find.

"You've seen this thing before. ”

Ji Bai came back to her senses and looked at the old man a little blankly, for her, the morning could be the past, or yesterday could be the past, she didn't know which past the old man was talking about.

"When you were a kid. The old man sensed Ji Bai's thoughts, and twitched the corner of his mouth to narrow the scope to Ji Bai a little: "The situation is similar to what you encountered this time, except that the thing this time was not black, but golden." ”

Golden.....

Ji Bai suddenly seemed to remember something, and then his face changed.

"You remember. ”

“...... Well. ”

She remembered the golden thing in the old man's mouth, a stone-like thing she had treasured all along.

She didn't know what it was, so she kept it as a stone.

At Chi Xu's house, the fat chicken stole the bread she made herself, and she pinched it according to this stone.

Later, Qinghu also warned her that she was already fascinated by the preciousness of this stone, but anyone who saw a similar appearance would share some attention.

The appearance and color of what Ji Bai got this time were different from the one she treasured, so that she wouldn't have found it without the old man's reminder.

"Well, what's going on. Ji Bai opened his mouth and asked, the voice he made sounded like a dry and dull feeling of not drinking water for many days.

When I got the golden stone, it was the day when Ji Bai's parents had an accident.

At that time, Ji Bai was still young, and he didn't understand why his parents were involved in the dispute between the monsters, to be exact, the fight between two groups of monsters.

One side bullied the other side, and the strong side went to catch the weak side for no reason, and brutally brutalized, so the relatives and friends of the weak side lost their temper and took revenge.

In fact, Ji Bai's parents went to save monsters at that time, although the demon world follows the law of the jungle, but the times are different, and the situation will naturally not be the same.

Today, the law of the jungle can exist, but it can't hurt each other and cause murders.

Therefore, this strong party will be severely punished, and Ji Bai's parents are involved in this incident.

This stone was placed next to the corpses of Ji Bai's parents at that time, and in the young Ji Bai's heart, the meaning was very different.

Now that he found out that this stone was demonized, it was very strange, Ji Bai pursed the corners of his lips: "In other words, that stone may also be the enemy of my father and mother......."

"It's not. The old man interrupted Ji Bai's conjecture, and he decided to tell Ji Bai something: "In fact, there was not only this stone at the scene, but also many colored stones, mostly purple, basically distance--"

The old man paused: "It's quite far away from your parents, and there is only this golden stone around, so it's more likely that what you saw today is your parents' helper." ”

Because Ji Bai called these things stones, the old man simply called them so along with Ji Bai.

"If that's what you say, then the golden stone in your hand could just be knocked unconscious?" the old man said his guess, when Ji Bai's parents had an accident, and when he arrived, there was no one alive at the scene, and there was no way to know what happened.

Maybe the shadow attendant will know, but Ji Bai at that time didn't learn how to make the shadow attendant visible, and she didn't get the news as soon as possible, and when she learned it, the shadow attendant will not be the shadow attendant.

If the stone had been able to speak consciously, perhaps they would have known what was going on.

"But we don't know what this is going on now, and we can't find a way to turn the stones back. ”
