readx(); Around the mysterious waterhole in the city of Kuhan, Torture, Ma Fei, Lian Jiuqi, Moduqiao, Torre, and the trembling Angu were all gathered there, and everyone swallowed the bitter plant and discussed how to kill the water monster.

Gulal and Victor stood at the exit, holding the guns in their hands, although they seemed to be careless, their attention was focused on the center of the waterhole, and at the same time they listened attentively to the conversation between the torturers and the others.

The goat, who always had a "what do you see" look, was still standing on the edge of the waterhole, chewing on the plant slowly, but Angu had noticed that the goat had changed a little—it had begun to shed its hair, and even when it lowered its head to graze, the thick hair on its neck would fall off in large patches.

Angu knew very well that it was probably the reason for eating a lot of that strange plant.

Lian Jiuqi squatted there looking at the plant, carefully recalling something: "This looks a bit like the Three Realms Grass recorded in the atlas. ”

Xingshu and Ma Fei were taken aback, Ma Fei looked at Xingshu and asked, "Didn't you say that the Three Realms Grass is very corrosive, and you need to wear gloves made of the four Lingren animal skins, otherwise, if you touch it empty-handed, the skin and flesh will be corrupted in an instant?" Why can I still eat it? ”

Xingshu shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't really seen it...... Mr. Lian, why do you think this is the Three Realms Grass? ”

Lian Jiuqi plucked a Three Realms Grass and threw it in the waterhole, and everyone watched the Three Realms Grass floating on the water surface after being exposed to the sun, it immediately began to turn black and rot, and then quickly sank into the waterhole.

Everyone was surprised, and looked at Lian Jiuqi together, and Lian Jiuqi said: "It should be the Three Realms Grass, the so-called corrosiveness, the four Lingren animal skins, etc., are all incomplete erroneous records of later generations, even according to the classical records of Taoism, it should also be that the Three Realms Grass is born in the habitat of the Four Lingren Beasts, and it will immediately decay and sink to the bottom of the water when it is irradiated by the light of the sky." ”

Torture was stunned for a moment: "You mean, in this pool, there is one of the four spirit beasts?" Could it be a unicorn? In the records, isn't the Three Realms Grass related to the Qilin? ”

Mo Duqiao said beside him: "Impossible, can the unicorn with fire live in the water?" ”

Ma Fei nodded: "Yes, is it Qinglong?" ”

Torture shook his head and said, "Impossible. ”

After thinking about it, Lian Jiuqi speculated: "I think, what the Four Spirit Beasts look like, in fact, no one knows, in the early years, I thought it was the Qilin and later felt that it had something to do with the rhinoceros, according to what Ah Le and Tang Qianrou said before, the monster here is like a giant lizard, and the lizard is a reptile creature in the same period as the dinosaurs, the dinosaurs are extinct, but the lizard survived, I think, it is probably a mutated lizard." ”

Gulal in the distance was a little impatient: "Hey, what's the use of talking so much?" In the end, we don't have to lure that monster out and kill it, and then find the key and find a way to lead it out, without a knife at all, we can solve it with a few shots. ”

Angu immediately accosted beside him: "Yes, yes, yes, use a gun, shoot to death with a gun, and then use that knife to disembowel and take out the key, isn't it okay?" I don't have to ......."

Everyone looked at Angu, Angu immediately shut up, and the torture technique comforted him: "Angu, none of us wants you to become a real son of Bohai here, and become that kind of monster. ”

Angu knew that the meaning of the torture technique was also to let him be quiet, so he immediately shut up and stood aside, but he was still extremely nervous.

"We've all eaten the Three Realms grass, and it looks like we can't lure that monster out, give it a go, I'll go down and see if I can lure that thing out." After the torture was finished, he began to undress, and Ma Fei immediately stopped him.

Maffei grabbed his wrist: "What are you thinking?" What if the monster would attack you after you got into the water? Don't forget, the Three Realms grass rotted when it was thrown into the water, and maybe there was something in it that we didn't understand. ”

Gulal frowned and looked at the other side: "Do you want to go or not?" Don't waste time. ”

Maffei glared at Gulal: "If you want to go, don't you want to get the gold too?" Go! ”

Gulal looked at Ma Fei and carried the assault rifle on his shoulder, but his action of carrying the gun made the torture and others misunderstand, and Mo Duqiao immediately held the gun against him, and Victor beside Gulal also immediately raised his gun and aimed at the person opposite.

The two sides are tense, and if they are not careful, there will be a river of blood here.

Lian Jiuqi motioned to Mo Duqiao and the others to put down their guns, walked a few steps along the waterhole, looked at Gulal and said: "Friend, you are just seeking money, we will not prevent you from getting rich, but seeking wealth will not cause you to die, I know that the style of your mercenary team has always been tough, this time it was folded in the Four Seasons Mountain, and you were not reconciled, so you want to recover some losses, and also want to give an explanation to the family of the dead brother, I propose, we cooperate well, and we do not plan to divide your gold." ”

Gulal frowned: "I can trust you, you say cooperation, how to do it?" ”

"You assist us, I will tell you when we need help, so ......" Lian Jiuqi paused deliberately and lowered his tone, "Please be a little patient." ”

Gulal raised his hand to lower the muzzle of Victor's gun, then stepped back.

Lian Jiuqi turned around at this time, and at the same time as he turned around, he had already begun to undress, and when Ma Fei was about to step forward to stop her, Lian Jiuqi stopped her with his eyes: "Don't worry, I'll be fine, this kind of thing, I have more experience than any of you." ”

Lian Jiuqi quickly stripped naked, leaving only a pair of underwear, and then jumped into the pool, this time there was no movement in the pool, and after a minute or two, the people around the pool began to get anxious, because very few people could hold their breath in the water for more than two minutes.

After another ten or so minutes, the torture technique couldn't bear it anymore, took the sealing knife, took off his clothes, Ma Fei couldn't stop it at all, and knew that there was no way to stop it at this time, no matter what, the torture was clear, even Jiuqi was his father, his father had an accident, and it was impossible to be a son.

Therefore, Maffei immediately made a decision, that is, to follow him.

But Ma Fei knew that the torture would stop her, so she waited for the torture to go into the water before she took off her coat, grabbed an assault rifle, and jumped directly regardless of the dissuasion of others.

The rest of the people stood stunned, not knowing what to do next, and at this moment, the sheep on the other side began to bark, raising its eyes and looking at Mo Duqiao and the others with numb eyes.

The torture technique in the waterhole swam downward, only to feel that the water was getting colder and colder, and it was getting darker and darker below, and finally when he felt that his physical strength and body temperature were a little unbearable, he saw a glimmer of light underwater.

After all, after he dived into the pool, he didn't find Lian Jiuqi, nor did he find the water monster and the strange man, so he felt that he should dive all the way down, and he wanted to find out what was down there.

When the torture technique swam to the bright place, he felt a little unable to hold back, and the water pressure caused him to feel that his eardrums were about to burst, so he had to look around, find and find, and suddenly a black shadow quickly swam over, grabbed his hand and dragged him to the other side.

The moment he was caught, he was startled and almost choked, but after feeling that it was a human hand, he also understood that it was very likely that Lian Jiuqi did not struggle, and followed Lian Jiuqi to swim forward, and then Lian Jiuqi pulled him to the top, and the torture finally surfaced.

Grasping the stone next to him, he exhaled heavily, and at the same time observed his surroundings, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that there was a black iron door in the large cave on the edge of the water, and there was a recessed pit in the iron door, and the shape of the pit was like a bowl.

Xingshu climbed up with difficulty, glanced at Lian Jiuqi, who was also looking at the gate next to him, and asked, "What is this?" ”

Lian Jiuqi shook his head: "I don't know, when I swam down before, I found this place." ”

While the two were talking, Ma Fei came out of the water, lying on the shore and coughing violently, it should have choked on the water, and the torture technique immediately stepped forward to pull her up, patted her on the back, and blamed: "Why do you want to come down with you?" I said, let you wait for me! ”

Ma Fei deliberately rolled his eyes at him: "Why should I follow?" What do you think? Knowingly asking, right? ”

Xingshu looked at Ma Fei for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry, thank you." ”

Ma Fei originally wanted to say something, but found that Lian Jiuqi was looking at them, so he had to divert the topic and said: "There is a crystal under this water, the crystal reflects the light in this cave, if it wasn't for me swimming over, looking up, I'm afraid I would have dived down, once I really dived towards the crystal at the bottom of the water, I would definitely die, too deep, not enough qi at all." ”

The torture technique helped Ma Fei up: "I almost dived just now, if it weren't for Mr. Lian, I'm afraid I'd be finished." ”

Maffei asked in a low voice, "Then did you thank him?" ”

The torture technique understood Ma Fei's intentions, so he had to look at Lian Jiuqi and said, "Thank you." ”

Ma Fei was disappointed with the performance of the torture technique, and of course also disappointed with Lian Jiuqi's lack of reaction.

Lian Jiuqi didn't have a torture technique, but just stepped forward and touched the iron door and said: "When I found this door, I felt that the crystal was strange, so I dived down to take a look, and sure enough, I found that there was something strange, and the water monster was ambushed around the crystal, I thought, there should be a trap below - if the person who came down swam towards the light under the water, if there was no person who ate the grass of the Three Realms, he would be killed by the water monster, even if the person who ate the grass, when he swam to that position, the remaining qi was not enough for him to swim here alive, so, As long as you dive towards that reflective crystal, whether you eat the Three Realms grass or not, you will die. ”

Torture turned around and looked at the crystals at the top of the cave that emitted white light: "There is a cave in this pool, plus there are traps, so maybe the six paintings at the bottom of the well are traps?" ”

Ma Fei pondered for a moment: "It's possible, hasn't the Cast Iron Immortal always liked to do this?" Isn't that what it means to see through people's hearts? In addition, do you think about it, in the information found by Wu Zi'an, it is said that the Son of Bohai lives by eating the grass of the Three Realms and the eggs of the monster in the waterhole, even if the monster does exist, but it is too far-fetched for people to survive by eating these for decades, right? ”

The torturer touched the iron door, pushed it hard, and found that the door did not move.

Lian Jiuqi said: "I pushed it just now, and the door can't be opened, but over there, there is a keyhole, a very strange keyhole, very big." ”

"Big?" He looked at it for a while, suddenly remembered something, and immediately pulled out the Sealing Soul Knife, and tentatively put the knife into it.

When the Sealing Knife was inserted into the keyhole, there was a clicking sound inside, and the torture technique twitched the Sealing Knife again, and found that it was already stuck, so he tried to start spinning, but he didn't expect it to really be able to rotate, and at the same time as it rotated, the black iron door slowly opened.

Xingshu, Lian Jiuqi and Ma Fei immediately stepped back, looking at the open door behind a stone room, the style of the stone room is completely inconsistent with the Central Plains, it is all the style of ancient Persia, not to mention, there is still the green strange man that Ah Le and Tang Qianrou have seen sitting at the table in the middle.

When he saw the strange man, Ma Fei immediately raised his gun, and the strange man just looked at them with a regretful look, and at the same time, the three of them also found hundreds of identical bowls on the shelf behind the strange man, that is, the thousand-year-old black incense bowl in Wu Zi'an's mouth.

However, the more he looked at the strange man, the more familiar he felt, and even Jiuqi around him also felt this way.

The strange man looked at the two of them staring at him with puzzled eyes, and suddenly smiled, grinning at the same time, the layer of mucus on the surface of the skin slipped down, but it gave the torture and others a feeling that he wanted to cry without tears.

"Lian Jiuqi, torture, who is this?" The strange man spoke, with an accent from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The three of them were surprised, they didn't know who the person in front of them was, and why they could call the two of them by their names?

Lian Jiuqi stood there, looked at the strange man carefully, looked at it for a long time, raised his hand and pointed, "You...... Are you Uncle Ma? ”

The torture technique was stunned: "Uncle Ma? Which Uncle Ma? ”

Lian Jiuqi said in a trembling voice: "The green-bellied horse is far away." ”

The torture technique and Ma Fei shuddered, and they couldn't believe it was true at all, but Ma Guiyuan, who had become a weirdo, moved his heavy steps and walked over slowly, looked at Lian Jiuqi and said, "It's really worthy of the apprentice I taught, and you still know me." ”

Ma Guiyuan's personal admit, which made the shocked Lian Jiuqi take several steps back one after another: "What the hell is going on!?" How could it be you? How did you end up here? How did you come to be like this!? ”

"One word, greedy, I deserve it, I'm too greedy, this is the end of people who are too greedy." Ma Guiyuan said calmly, "You guys are really amazing, you can find here, and you didn't go to the top of the snow mountain to find any snow-topped palace, smart, really smart, much smarter than us back then." ”

Torture frowned: "You guys? Who are you referring to? ”

"I'm studying with Qian." Ma Guiyuan said and slowly turned around and walked towards the stone room, and sat down again, "Wu Zi'an really thinks that Qian Xiuye hasn't solved the secret here?" He unraveled it a long time ago, it was I who found Kuhan City with him, and he was the first to pretend to be a prophet, Wu Zi'an didn't understand why he had to disguise himself as Qian Xiuye in order to deceive those Bohai remnants outside? Didn't he even think about that? deserves to be used, he deserves it, Cai Nayun deserves it, I deserve it, we all deserve it, we all think that we are the most trusted person in Qian Xiuye, but in fact, no one can trust him......"

Lian Jiuqi was already stunned and chaotic, but on the contrary, the torture technique was still sober: "Wait, I want to think about it...... Are you saying that you were the first person to partner with Qian Xiuye, but Qian Xiuye didn't let you say it, but instead wooed Wu Zi'an, making Wu Zi'an think that he was the first person to be recruited by Qian Xiuye, and Qian Xiuye also went to privately woo Cai Nayun, Wu Zi'an thought that he had deceived Cai Nayun, and Cai Nayun also thought that he was the first person to be wooed by Qian Xiuye, and then, you pretended to be persuaded by Cai Nayun to join Qian Xiuye's huge plan? ”

Lian Jiuqi looked at the torture technique, still didn't believe his ears, he didn't expect that Qian Xiuye's mind was so terrifying, he took advantage of people's greed, and the so-called trust, made perfect use of these people, and let these people keep their mouths shut for him.

Ma Guiyuan said: "Back then, it was me and Qian Xiuye who found Kuhan City, and since then, he has planned it, there was no alliance of nine sons at that time, these nine people were all selected by him, and at the same time of selection, he was also ready to make "Nine Sons Map", that thing actually didn't have much effect, the purpose was to lay out and frame Lian Jiuqi, and then, he asked me to prepare to go to Four Seasons Mountain, and then he would arrange my funeral, but before that, he pretended to be here again and brought Wu Zi'an here, At the same time, he persuaded Cai Nayun to join the plan, and then asked Cai Nayun to pretend to persuade me and Wu Zi'an, except for me and Qian Xiuye, everyone else was kept in the dark, Wu Zi'an must have laughed at Cai Nayun at that time Cai Nayun was the stupidest person in the world, and I was also laughing at them for being the stupidest and stupidest person in the world, but it was Qian Xiuye who should laugh the most at that time......

Ma Fei still couldn't believe it: "Oh my God, how can Qian Xiuye be so accurate, how can he be so smart?" ”

"While he is using us, he has also thought about how to eradicate our plan, the thousand-year-old black incense chopsticks in the three things, he knows very well that it is in the Tian family, and it is only a matter of time before he takes it out, but he needs those pair of chopsticks as an introduction to drive the whole plan, and the secret of the Helian family also needs time, so he needs to frame Lian Jiuqi, get Lian Jiuqi to his side, and slowly dig out the secrets of the Helian family from Lian Jiuqi." Ma Guiyuan said with a wry smile.

The torture technique suddenly realized: "The function of "Nine Sons" was originally just to distract us. ”

"Where's the thousand-year-old black incense bowl?" Lian Jiuqi looked at the bowls behind Ma Guiyuan, "He has already taken it?" ”

Ma Guiyuan finally smiled a little: "He thought he had taken it......"

Lian Jiuqi hurriedly asked: "You mean, the thousand-year-old black incense bowl is still here?" Which one is it? ”

"Every one of them here is, and every one of them isn't." Ma Guiyuan turned around and looked at the hundreds of thousand-year-old black incense bowls on the shelf, "Each one is real, but one is indispensable, all the bowls here together are the real thousand-year-old black fragrance bowls." ”

Torture asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Ma Guiyuan got up and picked up one of the bowls: "The lines on these bowls seem to be the same, but there are slight differences, if you roll on the paper, and then arrange them one by one according to the order in which they are placed, a map will appear, a very simple map, the appearance of the map indicates the location of the real thousand-year-old Wuxiang bowl, that bowl, is under the iron seat where Wu Zi'an sits every day, and it is also the iron seat that Qian Xiuye once sat on, but they don't know, only I found out, I pulled back a game!" ”

Ma Guiyuan squeezed the bowl in his hand tightly and smiled, smiling and smiling, but the expression on his face became extremely sad.
