Chapter 14: The Mysterious Origin
And the old man standing in front of him just smiled and said: "Master Shi, in fact, this was originally a secret of my clan, but for the sake of the fact that you are also from the outside world, I can tell you that this compass is called 'Inheritance Plate', and the language I speak is Elven. It was a simple sentence, but Liu Qi heard many connotations. First of all, he is not a demon clan, the other party must already know; secondly, this old man should be a member of the elf clan; finally, that is, corresponding to this "inheritance plate" that can query the past, Liu Qi believes that there should still be a "open plate" that can explore the future. Thinking of this, Liu Qi couldn't help but speak again: "Old man, do you have a 'Kailaipan' here that can explore the future?" Master Shi, really smart people, yes, our clan does have such a 'Kailai Disk', but if you want to use it, the requirements are much higher than this 'Inheritance Disk', and we don't have this equipment here. ”
When Liu Qi knew that the other party was a member of the elf clan, he also understood why the other party said something in the room just now, "Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit... Because elves are naturally nurtured by flowers and plants in heaven and earth, every person of the elf race has an incomparably intimate sense of all things in heaven and earth, so they can know many things that humans or other races cannot know through all the natural existence in the world. Of course, he has no answer to this question now, and he also knows that even if he asks the other party, the other party will definitely not answer his question, just as it is absolutely impossible for him to tell the other party why he entered this "demon world". Although Liu Qi originally chose only consulting services, the two questions he raised later were obviously beyond this scope, and in the end, Liu Qi had to pay the other party a fee of 50,000 "more than coins". However, Liu Qi not only felt heartache, but was also happy that he had obtained so much useful information just through 50,000 "more coins", and even when he walked out of the small room at the beginning, he couldn't help but hum in his mouth: Go around, take a look and taste, is the food I cooked fragrant, fragrant or not————
In another room that was almost exactly the same as what Liu Qi had seen, Mu Ningxue found a middle-aged man sitting behind a desk as soon as she walked in, and this middle-aged man also said as soon as she saw Mu Ningxue walk in: "This young lady, I don't know what you call it?" Mu Ningxue responded: "My surname is Jia." As soon as the man heard what Mu Ningxue said, he spoke again: "Okay, Miss Jia, I don't know if there is anything I can do to help you?" Mu Ningxue said: "I do have an inquiry, but I don't know if you can keep the secret?" The other party obviously didn't expect Mu Ningxue to say such a thing, of course, what Mu Ningxue said was also true, so the middle-aged man responded: " Miss Jia, even if you have 10,000 hearts, since this pavilion can have branches in various clan lands, it means that this pavilion will definitely keep the secrets of its customers secret, otherwise, this pavilion will not be able to exist in this world for countless years. And Mu Ningxue listened to the other party's words, thinking about it, it is indeed this reason, if the other party can't keep the secret for the guests, then this pavilion has absolutely no meaning to exist, after all, they are eating this line of food, they know better than anyone else, once the secret of the guest is revealed, what kind of consequences will be caused to them.
After thinking about it, Mu Ningxue spoke again: "That's the case, I have a companion who lives in a small town called Pingchuan in the human world, her mother's name is Mu Yutong, but she doesn't know her father's name, and she hasn't seen him in person, although she has also asked her mother a few times, but every time she prevaricates on the grounds that her father is already dead, and it doesn't matter if she knows the name or not, and what I want to ask now is, can you inquire about some information about the other party's father?" The man paused again, he really didn't expect that a person from the demon clan would come over to help a human to inquire, but it may be that he thought that this was someone else's secret anyway, and he didn't need to delve into it, so he just looked at Mu Ningxue, and then said again:" Miss Jia, although I don't know what the relationship between you and your friend is, but I tell you the truth, this kind of investigation of other people's information, may not be very satisfactory to you in the end, after all, I have just said that the reason why this pavilion has been able to exist for so many years is that it can keep secrets for customers, and at the same time, if the things you ask are related to other people's privacy, then we may not tell you, I hope you can understand this. Mu Ningxue heard what the other party said, and after understanding what the other party meant, she said: "What you mean, I understand, but what I ask for is not to find out the other party's privacy, but the person's name or some approximate origin, that is, as long as you can tell me, you can tell me, it is really inconvenient to say, and I will not force you." The middle-aged man on the other side heard Mu Ningxue say this, and knew that the other party had understood what he meant, so he continued: "Okay, Miss Jia, since you can understand what I mean, then I will conduct a information inquiry about this person for you, of course, please don't expect too much about the result, after all, since even the mother of your companion was unwilling to tell the relevant information about this person, maybe this person's origin will be more mysterious." ”
After the man said these words, he stretched out his hands and put them on the crystal ball, and at the same time said in his mouth: "Heavenly spirit, earth spirit, all things have spirits, the spirit of heaven and earth listen to my call, quickly inquire about the father of this Mu Yutong's daughter." With the man's words, an illusory figure slowly appeared in the crystal ball, this is a young man with long black hair, a slender figure, and an extremely handsome face, and just a moment, this illusory young man slowly dissipated into the crystal ball. At this time, the middle-aged man who had been silent on the other side spoke: "I'm sorry, Miss Jia, I can only get this appearance about this person when he was young, as for this person's name and surname, that is, everything else cannot be announced, please forgive me!" Although Mu Ningxue was not able to get her father's name and life history and other relevant information, she remembered this appearance in her mind, she believed that she would find him one day, and asked him face to face, why did she leave herself and her mother so ruthlessly?
There is also a room with the same furnishings, and as soon as Zhou Zhuoxi walked in, he found a woman sitting behind the table, this woman looked about thirty years old from the outside, although she was not particularly beautiful, but she could also see that she was quite beautiful. And as soon as the woman saw Zhou Zhuoxi walk into the room, she immediately said: "Welcome, I don't know what to call Miss?" Zhou Zhuoxi did not answer the other party's question immediately, but looked at the other party carefully, and then opened his mouth and asked: "I don't know what the master is called?" And the woman opposite did not have any dissatisfaction because of Zhou Zhuoxi's non-answer, but spoke again: "Miss has spoken, I can't afford to be called a master, but you can call me a thousand faces." Although Zhou Zhuoxi didn't know why the other party was obviously a woman with good qualifications, why he had such a strange name, but after all, this was a matter of personal hobbies, and it was something that couldn't be beaten with eight poles with her Zhou Zhuoxi, so Zhou Zhuoxi immediately said respectfully: "Okay, Master of Thousand Faces, my surname is Luo." After listening to her words, the woman on the other side smiled before saying, "Okay, Miss Luo, I don't know what services you need me to provide for you?" This time Zhou Zhuoxi still didn't directly say what he meant, but continued: "Master Thousand Faces, I don't know if you believe in fate?" The Thousand Faces Master on the other side smiled again and said, "Heh. Miss Luo, the so-called 'meeting is fate', and since we have opened this 'fate pavilion', of course we believe in fate very much, and the so-called 'thousands of miles of fate to meet, no fate to meet on the other side', for example, you and I, may come from different races or thousands of mountains and rivers far away, but fate has made you and I sit together today, chatting happily, what do you say is not fate?"
Zhou Zhuoxi was obviously deeply moved by what the other party said, so she couldn't help but speak again: " Master of a thousand faces, what you said is so right, and the reason why I came in today is to help a human friend of mine through this rare fate between everyone, this friend of mine is a little girl, her name is Zhou Zhuoxi, she told me that she was an orphan since she was a child, and she was left at the door of someone else's house by her family not long after she was born, and then I heard the benefactor who picked her up and raised her said, because there was a handkerchief with a word Zhou written on it in the clothes that wrapped her, so this benefactor named her Zhou Zhuoxi, and hoped that she could be different, and full of warmth and sunshine, so that you can forget the past and get a good future. Speaking of this, Zhou Zhuoxi obviously paused.
