Chapter Seventy-Nine: Entrustment (I)

And the main part of Qiu Ying's "Unveiling the Bowl" is the process of the demon army of the devil and the mother trying their best to open the bowl. This kind of diagram used for sealing, a certain type of monster can only be attached to the portrait of its own kind, and because there are many types of monsters in this picture, it is an excellent choice for sealing demons.

"Even if it can't be completely eliminated, it's good to weaken it as much as possible." Chao Ji said to the two.

"I still have a question-" Hua Jiuxi said frankly, "why did she come to the mainland, and why did she have to find that weapon?" Looks like you haven't been able to tell everything through? ”

Chao Ji's slender eyes opened slightly, and he glanced at the young man in front of him with an average appearance, the little guy's curiosity was still very strong. He was a little worried that he would be shocked if he said it, though he did underestimate the guy's mental capacity. After all, Hua Jiuxi itself has also experienced strong winds and waves, or has experienced a hundred battles.

Hua Jiuxi also looked at him, silent for a moment.

"Okay, let's make sure, you know who the queen is?" Chao Ji spread his hands, at least he couldn't play dumb riddles like this anymore.

"That's natural, the so-called Nimiko, a common name, can also be written as Himiko in Middle Chinese." Hua Jiuxi replied in a serious manner, "It is the queen of the Wa Kingdom mentioned in the Book of Wei: The Biography of the Wa People, and most scholars now speculate that this queen is a political figure with the nature of a god and a witch. I didn't think she'd be alive – and that she'd come here. ”

"There are not many immortals in China, some earth immortals and scattered immortals can live for 1,800 years, and it is not a rare thing that Himiko can survive to this day." Chao Ji said.

This is also true, Hua Jiuxi thought of the novel "The Complete Biography of Haigong Da Hong Robe" and mentioned that She Taijun was also an earth immortal, who lived from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, and he had to send troops to eradicate the traitor Zhang Juzheng Yunyun, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Chao Ji naturally didn't know what Hua Jiuxi was laughing at, and continued: "After all, this country was established by her, and it is the instinct of every mother and grandmother to think about future generations." As we all know, the small island nation from which I come has been building up its armaments in recent decades, and has been surprisingly fortunate to defeat several large ones. However, this is not enough, there are some madmen who have always wanted to obtain a legendary destructive power......"

Hua Jiuxi and Xiang Ling's eyes widened, and the atmosphere suddenly became serious.

After continuing to be silent for a moment, Hua Jiuxi suddenly said: "The legendary destructive power ......", and couldn't help covering his mouth as he spoke, "Just like Bei Yihui once said, with the progress of science and technology, weapons will become more and more advanced and powerful, and eventually they can create a terrifying killing weapon that can destroy a city with a single shot." However, Kita's vision is that once such a weapon is developed, it will bring about a strange balance because of its enormous destructiveness. (I can't remember whether this theory was proposed by Kita Yihui.) —Author's note)

"But the premise of this situation is that more than one country has developed this kind of weapon." Chao Ji magically took out a juniper fan out of nowhere, shook it in front of his eyes, and said, "If there was a crazy group that had mastered this weapon in the first place and really planned to use it, do you think anyone would be able to stop it?" ”

Hua Jiuxi shook his head: "Of course, but your country's scientific and technological strength ...... Honestly, it's only in Asia — compared to Europe and the United States, that's really — "He's wondering how to organize his language."

"You're welcome, we are outsiders, and we don't have this kind of vain obsession." Chao Ji said, "If you can't make it with technology, then you can try to use Taoism, magic, magic - anyway, all roads lead to Rome, and isn't Germany and some other countries also studying black magic?" This is far from the ground - what Himiko hopes to find on the mainland is a destructive weapon that looks like a golden egg. ”

Hua Jiuxi and Xiang Ling looked at each other, Xiang Ling shook her head at Hua Jiuxi, even she didn't know what it was.

"There are very few people who know about the existence of this thing, because the sect that inherits it is not prosperous now." Chao Ji shook his head and said, "I was squeezed by an external force from India. ”

Hua Jiuxi had already guessed which sect he was talking about, and asked softly, "Black Sect?" ”

Chao Ji nodded and said, "That's right, the native religion of the Snowy Land is also a fairly ancient and primitive religion. The weapon of destruction that Himiko was looking for appeared in their legend - it was said that there were three levels of weapon, the highest one could destroy an entire snowy region, the second one could destroy a city, and the weakest could kill any human at a targeted rate. It is said that there have been assassinations of Zamp with this weapon before - but that was a long time ago. As for whether this thing is still available, where to find it. ”

"Maybe only Himiko himself knows." Chao Ji looked at the girls beside him and said, "Before all the doppelgangers merge, Queen Himiko's memories can't be resurrected as they are, so I used the power of 'his heart' to peek into the brains of these little girls, and in the end there was no result." It seems that Himiko locked some of his specific memories to an individual before his ego split. ”

"Then, why did Himiko go to Shaoguang Castle?" Hua Jiuxi asked, "Or is that kind of weapon of destruction also related to Shaoguang City?" ”

Chao Ji shook his head: "I don't know anything about that, after all, I have no connection with that city, and I can't speak." But I've inquired about it myself, and as the palace of the Queen Mother of the West, it's really a great place, and it's the Jerusalem of the monsters. And it has a lot of treasures and ancient artifacts in it, and I don't know if there's one or two destruction bombs or anything like that—"

For this kind of boastful weapon, Hua Jiuxi has always felt very suspicious. Because there can't be more depictions like this in epics, especially Hindu mythology, which is the best at bragging. For example, there is a Brahma magic weapon in the famous "Mahabharata", which can destroy an earth with a single shot, which is really ridiculous.

And Himiko probably came to Shaoguang Castle without permission because he only knew a legend - according to what the Queen Mother of the West said before, she was originally a witch cultivated here. It seems that the old story could not be reconciled, and there was a dispute, and finally the current situation was formed.

But it did them a great favor—as Shao Guangcheng was clearly unwilling to engage in the struggle between humans, but inadvertently eliminated one of their formidable enemies—delaying her sabotage for at least a few decades.

But right now, Himiko and the slippery ghost are obviously merging, and that is even more dangerous.

"In this way, Mr. Harumi, we need your help - because Himiko is clearly our enemy - of course you just need to continue your current work and seal Himiko." Hua Jiuxi said, "We can establish some contact methods and exchange information with each other." ”

Chao Ji nodded: "It's totally okay-"

"In addition, a group of us are about to go on a mission to another place far away." Hua Jiuxi scratched his head, and Chao Ji couldn't help frowning when he saw this action.

"There are a few imps on our side who can't follow them for the time being—I hope you will always take care of them." Hua Jiuxi said, "Although it is a few little ghosts, they can all help, and they will not be a burden to you." ”

Since Hua Jiuxi said so, Chao Ji also knew that he was not the kind of person who was unreliable, so he only smiled and said: "The operation to hunt down Rimiko originally also needed some manpower. But I've been here for many years, and I'm still unfamiliar with the place, and I haven't established any relationship with the local monster circle, so it's best to have a helper. Just, can I meet them? ”

This couldn't be better, Hua Jiuxi agreed.

"Besides—thanks to your great help, we can't help but say no—" Hua Jiuxi glanced at Xiang Ling, who quickly lifted the box on the table.

Chao Ji itself has some ability to guess objects in the air, but the outside of this box is covered with a strong spell, which is obviously not something that Hua Jiuxi and others can create. He couldn't see through this thing with his eyes, and he didn't know what it was. Chao Ji was curious.

"As for the purpose of your old coming to the mainland, we have also done some research ourselves. There are some things that you may not have said all the time, and you have also had contact with the people of Shaoguangcheng. Hua Jiuxi suddenly spread his hands and said.

Chao Ji nodded: "I've seen one or two of these big monsters, which makes me a little embarrassed......"

"Nothing to be embarrassed about." Hua Jiuxi said, "People have the desire to trace their roots, but we know from the mouths of those fox fairies - you touched some nails, right?" ”

Chao Ji didn't nod this time, but there was an "affirmation" in his eyes, after all, for a legendary successful person like him, touching a nail is a reality that is not easy to accept.

Hua Jiuxi didn't care much about the other party's face, because in his thoughts, the other party was an old qualification, no matter how approachable he looked, it was impossible to put down his body and communicate with you on an equal footing. And as long as you have the opportunity, you have to kill the arrogance of the other party.

Now, Hua Jiuxi knows that even a powerful sorcerer like Chao Ji has many things that he can't do. And Hua Jiuxi told the other party the cruel truth of this iron-like cruelty in a few sentences, and the other party will inevitably look up to himself a little highly.

"Yes." Chao Ji smiled a little helplessly and said, "So classmate Hua, have you succeeded?" ”

Hua Jiuxi also smiled slightly: "Relying on relationships, I have a little friendship with that old fox - but it took a lot of trouble to get this thing." ”

"So what's in this box?" Chao Ji's expression that had been like water suddenly floated.

Hua Jiuxi nodded: "This box is about a fox fairy named Ge Ye - lucky you can find him!" ”

Chao Ji's whole person suddenly leaned back the moment he heard this, as if some troll was pushing him there. However, after all, he was an extremely high cultivator, and he immediately suppressed his emotional fluctuations.

"Thanks, thanks...... So, she's still alive? Chao Ji's eyes showed a kind of excitement.

"Of course." It is difficult for outsiders to understand this kind of parent-child relationship, and Hua Jiuxi only said lightly, "This is very common for people outside the party - this is what you said just now, what do you think she is not alive?" ”

The man had not been able to find any trace of his mother since he had seen her again as a teenager - she had been like a dream of his own for hundreds of years. But he rarely mentioned this matter to the outside world, but he didn't expect that this problem would be solved inadvertently.

Hua Jiuxi didn't care about this, thinking that if the other party didn't give an eviction order, then he and Xiangling would have to think of an excuse to escape. In fact, under normal circumstances, he likes to sit at a friend's house with a study, but the immediate visit is also part of the task. Like most ordinary people, Hua Jiuxi has an extreme aversion to work.

"You have a saying, 'Great grace is not thankful.'" Chao Ji stood up and bowed to the two of them, "Then I won't say anything more—let's do our best together to keep the peace." ”

Hua Jiuxi breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Chao Ji was also a very straightforward person, and after negotiating everything to be discussed, he didn't keep it much, so he let Hua Jiuxi and the two go on their own.
