Chapter Ninety-Six: The Mystery
"Is there anything else you can do?"
Old Man Qiu and Bai Ningshuang have known each other for almost two hundred years, and when he first visited Qin Moshan, he was the most out of place among the demon painters who went with him.
At that time, the young and vigorous Old Man Qiu was angry and planned to leave, but Bai Ningshuang specially stopped him and introduced him to Qin Moshan, who was already a generation of grandmasters, so that there was a relationship after that, it can be said that if there was no Bai Ningshuang's retention, he would not have had a chance to get Qin Moshan's teachings.
So before, although Old Man Qiu scolded vigorously, it was just to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart, and he didn't have much to blame, after all, Bai Ningshuang was not easy.
The pain of the world, white hair is black, and the hair of white condensation has long been white, but how many times has she sent black hair?
"There are a lot of people just now, it's inconvenient for me to say," Bai Ningshuang said in a deep voice: "But now, since you already know about the death of the string, I just have something I want to trouble you." ”
"What's the matter?"
"It has something to do with the death of the string. ”
"Huh?" Old Man Qiu was stunned: "Didn't the period string die in the mountain and sea world, is there something wrong inside?!"
"Who did it?!! Suddenly, Old Man Qiu's seemingly rotten body erupted with incomparably surging demonic power, but Bai Ningshuang just raised his hand, calmed his anger and quieted him down, Old Man Qiu sat back in his seat, sighed, and asked, "I want to know who and who moved the hand?"
"Not sure. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know. Bai Ningshuang raised his hand and cut through the space beside him, and then took out a piece of white jade from it, which was a prop for recording images: "What is recorded here is the injury suffered by the strings back then, and among today's demon painters, if you talk about erudition, I'm afraid no one can compare with you, Mo Shan and I didn't look at the wrong people back then, you are more talented than them, the lowest starting point but thick and thin, in terms of achievements, you are the first person." ”
"Injury?" Although Old Man Qiu is old, his temperament is not as impulsive and irritable as before, but now it is about his favorite disciple: "Show me." ”
"What kind of force could inflict such an injury, I have never heard of. Bai Ningshuang got up and turned her back to Old Man Qiu, holding the tea and looking at the courtyard outside the window: "I'm afraid that you won't be able to stand this blow, so I haven't told you all these years, now, help me palm my eyes." When he said the last sentence, this woman who had not been angry for many years and was like a mother in the eyes of Teacher Baiquan had a cold and terrible tone.
"You should have been looking for me a long time ago!" Old Man Qiu immediately opened the Heavenly Eye Technique, and instantly watched the picture recorded in this jade, the more he looked, the more angry Old Man Qiu became, if it weren't for the suppression of Bai Ningshuang beside him, he was afraid that he would have gone away on the spot, his trembling hand put down the jade, Old Man Qiu held back his anger: "Give it to me, a few clean." ”
"Hmm. ”
Bai Ningshuang's magic can calm people, no matter how angry or sad people are, they can calm their minds under her power: "Do you see something?"
"It's hard to say. Old Man Qiu frowned: "This injury is too strange, I'm just like you, I've never seen such traces, and I can't tell what kind of mountain and sea beast caused it." ”
"You can't see it either?"
"But looking at this injury, I can imagine the strength of that mountain and sea beast, I don't know what it is, but I am sure that this is by no means the mountain and sea beast that you and I have seen, it is very ancient and very powerful," Speaking of this, Old Man Qiu added: "And even if you and I meet, we may not be able to come back alive." ”
"How is that possible?!"
The two of you are already the top existence of the demon painter, what kind of mountain and sea beasts are they unable to solve?
"Look at the injury. Old Man Qiu threw the jade to Bai Ningshuang with his backhand and said, "You are not good at fighting, and you don't have enough experience to analyze the battle situation from the injury, so you can't see it." ”
"What did you find?"
"Period string has no power to resist!" Old Man Qiu said: "With the strength of the period string, in the face of this mountain and sea beast, he didn't even have a trace of resistance!" "Qin period string is indeed still young, not as good as an old man like Old Man Qiu: "But don't say this kind of thing is me, ask yourself, can you do it?"
Bai Ningshuang compared herself with Qin Qixian and said, "If you want to run, I can't stop you." ”
The means of escaping for the demon painter are absolutely amazing, not to mention that Qin Qixian is still a genius with huge demon power and is extremely good at witchcraft, but he is such a wizard of witchcraft, but he didn't even have a chance to escape, so he was killed by the other party, which shows that the opponent's strength can no longer be controlled to the point that they can't imagine.
"But it's impossible!"
Compared to fighting, Bai Ningshuang is better at healing and defense, but this doesn't mean that she really can't judge anything: "It is impossible to have such a powerful mountain and sea beast!"
"There are tens of thousands of species of mountain and sea beasts in the world, you and I don't know more than billions of species, the world of mountains and seas is so big, what kind of mountain and sea beasts will be encountered, no one can guarantee that they can be lucky forever. When Old Man Qiu said this, his words changed: "But the death of the period string is too abnormal, if there is really such a powerful mountain and sea beast, why would the other party let him leave the whole corpse, and he can still be found by the demon painter who arrived and sent back?"
Speaking of this, Old Man Qiu realized something: "No, you... ”
"Since the demon painter has discovered the period string, then why don't I know?" Old man Qiu looked at Bai Ningshuang: "The demon painter is connected to the breath of the mountains and seas, if he dies, the mountains and seas will definitely reflect it, and there will be special people to explore and investigate at that time, you showed me this image, it means that the death of the child in the period string is known to the higher-ups!"
"They," however, said Bai Ningshuang, "I don't know." ”
"How is that possible?" Old Man Qiu: "There is no impermeable wall, who can hide the death of the next demon painter... ”
At this time, the principal's room fell silent, Bai Ningshuang turned around, and glanced at Old Man Qiu, who immediately thought of a group of people: "The group of servants who are falling?"
"Hmm. ”
Bai Ningshuang didn't speak, but nodded, which was the answer.
The law of the demon painter is very strict, and at the same time, they must ensure the safety of the life of each demon painter, and there may be omissions, but some famous big people, how can they die silently, so whenever a person dies, the head will send a professional person in charge to investigate, and here it involves a kind of mountain and sea official.
Shanhaiguan is a special profession in the world of demon painters, for example, the old soldiers in red cold clothes are village managers and urban managers, and Xu Xinya's daily division is criminal police and people's police, and different mountain and sea officials manage different fields.
When someone dies, there will naturally be a kind of mountain and sea official to collect the body for you, this group of people is similar to the ancient work of Blue Star, at the same time, they also serve as the current forensic doctor, they are called the white servant, the so-called dust settled, the truth is revealed, want to become a white servant, IQ is a hard stubble, they are more shrewd and terrible than the detective, by finding all kinds of clues from the corpse, they can find the cause of death of the deceased very accurately, so as to draw the truth, and give the deceased a justice.
"Who was responsible for this?"
Qin Qixian died ten years ago, and at that time, there were only a handful of people who might come to collect evidence for him.
"Lin Xuanjiu. ”
"Who?"
"That's it," Bai Ningshuang remembered that not many people knew the other party's real name, so he said his nickname: "It's that Ninth Uncle." ”
"Is that kid?!" Old Man Qiu gasped, although he called the other party boy, but in fact, this white servant named Lin Ajiu is now almost 90 years old: "I understand what you say, with his status and energy back then, it is indeed not difficult to hide the death of the string silently, but the question is, why did he do this?"
"I remember that he was a friend of the New Year, right?"
"Yes, that's why I think he should have seen something and helped hide it. ”
"He didn't tell you the cause of death?"
"Don't say anything!"
Luobai Servant is a group of very smart people, simply put, it is IQ bursting, looking at so many mountain and sea officials, Luobai Servant has a direct hard rule on IQ, you are not smart enough, not knowledgeable enough, how can you find out the truth from the corpse.
"There's a problem," Old Man Qiu knew how good the relationship between Uncle Lin Jiu and Qin Qixian was back then, it was really a life-threatening friendship, but in such a relationship, Uncle Lin Jiu still chose to conceal what he knew, what was it for: "I didn't expect the death of Qi Xian, the things in it are so weird, I know what you want to ask me for, I will go to him to ask for clarification." ”
"But after he retired from the White Servant Department, no one knows his whereabouts, right?"
"That's someone else," Old Man Qiu smiled confidently, "You also know what I do, the Qiu family is in charge of the world's classics and cases, and it is very easy to find out a person's whereabouts." ”
"You're so old, and you still don't want to let go?" Bai Ningshuang said: "Give the care of the hidden case to the younger generation as soon as possible, isn't the autumn boy very powerful?"
"Don't mention it," Old Man Qiu complained: "He wants to make a career with all his heart, how can he look down on the old man and my one-third of an acre, not to mention, let that kid retire and waste his youth to guard those hidden cases that no one wants, he is not willing." Speaking of this, the old man suddenly said: "I think Qin Xuan's kid is not bad, I said you, I lost a Qin period string back then, and you are now compensating me for a Qin Xuan, isn't it too much?"
"What's the compensation?"
"My granddaughter is also fifteen years old this year... ”
"But I told the old lion about it. ”
"Old lion?" Old Man Qiu was stunned: "Wait, the old lion you are talking about, won't it be... ”
"Hmm. ”
"Really fake?!" Old Man Qiu: "Don't look at my young age, lie to me!"
"You are a generation of grandmasters, there are a few people who can compare with you in the same era as you," Bai Ningshuang: "And what is the relationship between our two families, can I lie to you?"
"You also know that our two families are friends in the world, so why do you go to pick up the pot of the old lion, my Qiu family is a scholarly family, what does he have in the lion and ghost, except that the fist is the fist, the fist is amazing?!" Qin Qixian didn't talk about him in advance, after all, people can't be resurrected after death, they will investigate, and they must also take revenge, this is very important, but the future is more important, is the future of a living person not as good as collecting debts from a dead person?" No, I don't admit it, he is the son of the future, that is half of my grandson, I will never allow my grandson to have anything to do with that old lion!"
Angry and angry, Old Man Qiu is not so stubborn, compared with him, there is really nothing, the master family has long declined, this generation is estimated to be the old lion and a little girl, such an in-law, how can it compare to their Qiu family, that is a strong family background, countless assets, and even more powerful, Old Man Qiu now has to ask Bai Ningshuang, has her brain been kicked by a rabbit, how could she come up with such a bad idea?
"That, the granddaughter of the lion's predecessor, is indeed beautiful. ”
"Beautiful, what's the use of being beautiful, my family Keyin is also very beautiful," Speaking of this, Old Man Qiu thought that Qiu Keyin was only fifteen years old this year, so he added: "I guarantee to be a big beauty in the future!"
"But people are great beauties now. ”
"You... Old Man Qiu didn't find a rebuttal for a while, so he said like an old child: "Anyway, I'm not convinced, if you have the ability, you can call her out and I'll see if it's really as good as you say!"
"Now, no. ”
"Why?"
"It's out. ”
Old Man Qiu: "Then call it back again!"
"But she still has a mission. ”
"What task?"
"Go to Lanxing," Bai Ningshuang forced a smile and said, "Ask half of your grandson to come to Baiquan to study." ”
