Chapter 574 Get to the bottom of it

Do you also learn to play self-destructing?

Surprised, I struggled to break free.

Although the Mole Cricket King's martial arts skills are not high, who knows how powerful he will be when he explodes?

It's better to be careful.

Belch......

Can't break free.

The Mole Cricket King was stuck to my thighs like kraft candy.

Worst!

Before I could take the next step, the Mole Cricket King burst open, enveloping me in a blazing light.

This power is definitely several times greater than the little breath I just used.

Airplanes......

At the heart of the light, I saw a beetle the size of a fist and as bright as a small sun.

The beetle vibrated its wings and trembled, feeling like it was going to explode again.

I didn't hesitate, I immediately waved my hand and slashed out an aurora sword again.

The colorful sword light flashed, and the beetle suddenly split into two, like two small bowls falling to the ground.

At the fracture of the insect corpse, the thick sap that was fluorescent flowed.

It's okay.

I let out a long sigh of relief.

Airplanes......

Unexpectedly, this qi was only half relieved, and the two insect corpses on the ground actually fluttered violently again.

It is said that a hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, you kid doesn't seem to have so many feet, right?

I didn't have time to think about it, my neck shrank, and the loach gong and lazy donkey body were possessed at the same time, and I rolled out of the house with a grunt.

Boom!

The rubble behind him was like rain, and the red flames were soaring into the sky.

I gasped as usual.

Isn't that too powerful?

"What's going on?"

"Walk the water, walk the water!"

"Where's the matter?"

Such a huge movement immediately alarmed the villagers.

When they rushed out, I lurked and watched everyone's movements.

After monitoring for more than half an hour, the fire was extinguished, and the villagers could not find the missing Mole Cricket King, and finally gradually dispersed.

I waited another half hour.

Nothing unusual was found, and the villagers did not seem to be aware of the special identity of the Mole Cricket King.

As for Ling Zexu, he was still nowhere to be seen.

And that's the end?

I was reluctant to wander around the village, and the result was not surprising - I found nothing.

Do you have to kick in the door and search?

After thinking for a moment, I decided to withdraw first.

Because I had a gut feeling that Ling Zexu wasn't captured by someone among the villagers.

I'm afraid there is another reason for this.

Let's go.

Leaving Tianya Village, strolling on the uninhabited mountain road, with the help of Lang Lang's moonlight, I took out a white cloth from behind me and took a closer look.

What's so nice about white cloth?

If you look at it clearly, this is not a white canvas, but a gray-white canvas, and the sand, dust, fine stones, and ground patterns in the picture are all like mirror images.

Where did it come from?

Of course, before entering the dungeon, I took it handy.

With such a high degree of fidelity, the artist's painting skills are shocking, and with this painting, maybe I can find out the details of the Eagle God Palace.

As soon as I made up my mind, I quickened my pace, left the rugged mountain road, summoned the black wind, and rode back to Autumn County.

When I saw the city wall of Qiujun from afar, the sky was hazy, and the city gate had not yet opened.

How to get in?

Ratch, rattle.

The four hooves intertwined, and the horse's pace did not slow down in the slightest, and in an instant they had come to the city wall.

"What for?" There were already soldiers on duty on the city wall who asked.

I didn't say a word, but I took an object from my waist and shook it in front of the soldiers.

The soldiers looked at each other.

"Let him go." A captain parted the soldiers.

The gate opened a crack, and I quickly passed through.

What is it that I have pulled out that has such an effect?

This thing is nothing else, but a bronze nameplate given to me by the lieutenant general after I solved the Damazhan incident in Kontong Town, representing the identity of the army sentry.

Well, it's not an uncommon thing.

At the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, the army would send countless sentries every year to collect various information, such as this bronze nameplate, and the sentries were one for each person.

Later, the world was peaceful, and the role of the sentry gradually became weak, but he still had to pay a lot of military salaries for this.

Dispensable positions, a good salary......

Obviously, the opportunity to make money has come.

At the beginning, it was just a large number of idle posts for the generals.

After that, there were 'smart people' who started selling waist cards.

Of course, it is not only the waist card that is sold, but the focus is on the identity of the army sentry, which allows people to freely enter and exit many checkpoints and cities.

The best thing about this approach is that it can not only make more money, but also fill the vacancies in a real way, so that the empty salary can become 'real salary'.

What the? You ask why these 'sentinels' have farmers, hunters, merchants, knights, and ruffians...... Wait for identity?

In order to hide people's eyes.

These are officially registered military sentinels, whose identities are all over all walks of life, and can provide massive intelligence to the army when necessary.

Justifiable, reasonable and legitimate, no one can catch the slightest mistake.

Therefore, this bronze nameplate in my hand is just one of the identities of many outgoing sentinels, even if the people on the city wall are suspicious, they will only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

If this thing is seriously investigated, it will be turned upside down!

That's all for gossip.

Let's say that I entered the city gate and followed the mountain passage all the way to the southern city.

What's next?

Of course, I was looking for connoisseurs to inquire about the origin of this painting.

This Qiu County was known as the 'Little Companion Capital' back then, with a profound cultural heritage, and calligraphy and painting-related industries must be indispensable.

Although it was still early in the morning and the shop was certainly not open, there were already many pedestrians walking on the road, so I stopped one and asked for directions, and then turned to Southwest 2nd Street.

Wow......

Someone is splashing water to sweep the streets.

Ooh! As far as the eye can see, the left and right sides of this street are full of calligraphy, painting and antique shops, and I don't know that there are dozens or hundreds.

Two of them have already opened.

When I asked, I found out that although the door was open, only the man, the shopkeeper and the appraiser did not come, so they could not do their work at all.

Gotcha, it's early.

I simply found a hall {not a bathhouse} to freshen up, get new clothes, and sit in a nearby restaurant for more than an hour; I saw through the window on the street that the storefront was open, so I took the canvas and picked out those stores with large facades, old trade sizes, and simple signboards.

Seeing this painting, the shopkeepers and appraisers all widened their eyes, some were amazed, some regretted, some disdainful {pretending}, some scolded the street, and some drooled......

But none of them could tell the details of the painting.

"This boy, why don't you sell this painting to our store?" Liu Da of Danqing Pavilion said, "The price is negotiable. ”

"If you can find out the origin of this painting, then the price I will give can be negotiated." I shook my head.

"So be it." The shopkeeper Liu was not reluctant, "Our entire Qiu County, and even the whole Yu Prefecture, the appraiser with the highest eyesight is the old man Mo Zhengmo of the Ink Dyeing Hall, if you ask him, you may know something." ”

"Where is the Ink Dye Hall?" I hurriedly asked.

"Ink Dyedo is not on this street." Liu Da shopkeeper said, "But it's also easy to find, you walk along the road, go to the mouth of the mountain tunnel and then to the left, you can see the ...... at a glance."
