[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Mu Qingming found the owner of the ghost city and asked about the whereabouts of the Hundred Illusion Map. I never thought that although the fantasy map really existed, but with the passage of time, this picture no longer exists, and it has become a merchant drum scattered among the people. After Mu Shan told his wife Mu Luo the secret he heard from his mother, both of them found it difficult to distinguish the truth from the fake. It was suggested that Mu Luo should wait and see what happens, and do not rush to verify the authenticity for a while, so as not to startle the snake, but the gains outweigh the losses. And Mu Qingming is in Kunming City, and has begun to look for the merchant drum made of a hundred illusions. And to find this thing, although it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, you only need to find the descendants of the merchant. 】

In the dead of night, there are many lights out in the houses in the Mu family's settlement. In the fog, the lights were gone, and it fell into darkness.

A breeze swept under the trees, and crickets chirped among the grass and rocks. Deep in the forest outside the village where the Mu family lived, there were still a few low roars in the mist, which rang out from time to time in the forest, echoing in the mist.

It seems to be the sound of some kind of beast.

In the village, the disciples of the Mu family, who are specially responsible for the watch, rhythmically knocked on the bamboo bangzi, walked the streets and alleys between the orderly houses, gathered in the chest from time to time, and shouted in the sound of a slow and fast bamboo bangzi: "The third watch of the child is safe and sound." ”。

The disciple in charge of the guard walked around the house where the patriarch lived, and then gradually moved away. The shouts and the bamboo bangs knocked out "Knock! - Knock! Boom! The sound is also drifting away.

In the back room of the main hall of this house, the candle flame on the table was fixed after Mu Luo used scissors to cut the wick. The room was brighter. When her husband slowly turned around and walked towards her again, she said thoughtfully: "We might as well stand still and wait and see what happens, and we can also ensure that we don't startle the immortal path." ”。

After Mu Shanshu sat down beside him again, Mu Luo, who paused, said in a sincere tone: "As long as the plan is successful, and the plan of the Nine Suspicious Immortals can be successfully implemented, it means that the mother-in-law is not lying." We really have to apologize to her. ”。

"yes." Mu Shan suddenly realized, and suddenly felt a lot of relief. Maybe it's because the mother and son are connected, so after he came out of the West Cross Courtyard, he didn't want to doubt his mother all the time. As for the previous prejudice, it is not so deep.

And Fang Cai's heart was in turmoil, and it was also the answer he confided in his mother tonight, and he was half-convinced. So much so that it affected his thinking, and he couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while.

But after listening to Mu Luo's words, Mu Shanshu also felt that it was better to wait and see what happened to him if he was entangled in which answer was true or false. If you want to get to the bottom of it in a hurry and know the truth or falsehood, you have to change your plan accordingly. In case what Mu Yu said is true, he should wait and see what happens, lest the original plan be messed up, let the Nine Suspicious Immortals sacrifice in vain, and the Dragon Lock people will lose more than they gain.

"But I also believe that the second child will not lie, we can secretly find out who deliberately confused the second child and gave him a fake news and passed it on to us." After being relieved, Mu Shanjun's mind also cleared up a lot, and after thinking about it, he said thoughtfully: "It may be that the secret operation intended to let us join forces with the Nine Suspicious Immortals has been exposed. ”。

"Well, that's possible, too. And looking up this person, you can also prove the truth or falsehood. If there is such a person who secretly confuses the second child with false information, it can also prove that the mother-in-law is not lying. Mu Luo also felt reasonable, and slightly bowed his head in agreement.

To be honest, after she married into the Mu family, she was not less angry with the old woman, after all, she was a demon woman, which made the Mu Yu clan very dissatisfied with her. But Mu Luo's is so good, everything is on the facts!

If she wronged Mu Qingming's grandmother Mu Yu, Mu Luo is willing to return her innocence, and he will not ignore it at all and go to the well again. Mu Shan was optimistic about her at the beginning, so he married this demon woman despite all opposition.

In the words of Mu Shan Shu, if you are not a demon, you are all bad people. Mu Luo obviously proved that Mu Shan was right.

"I think it's better to use the disciples stationed in Chengdu, or disciples farther away, to do this. If you use the disciples in your family, it will be easy to be noticed. It is a trivial matter not to find this person who confuses the second child, which makes the second child and you feel estranged because of this, and feels that you do not trust him, which is not conducive to unity. Mu Luo stood up, put the teapot in her husband's hand, and poured seven points of water into the teacup, but still looked calm, and said softly with clear words: "We will wait and see what happens for the rest." ”。

"Well, that's right, the second child is also worried." Mu Shanshu raised the teacup and said no more, tasting the tea by himself, secretly wondering which disciple should be arranged to investigate the matter privately......

Mu Qingming hadn't been to the Qi family's store on the Jade Dragon pile for several days, not because he was lazy, but because Mrs. Qi gave him a month's rest in order to thank him.

Mu Qingming, who was idle at home, went out to secretly look for the Hundred Illusion Map, but he was idle and played in the courtyard with the corpse baby Hanquan.

Every day, you can hear the sound of him and the corpse baby Hanquan arguing in the yard.

It's just that the corpse baby is always mentally incomplete, and it is difficult to speak, and many times he prefers not to say a word except for laughing. But Mu Qingming and Mo Han still didn't dislike him, and took care of him as if they were their own.

Gradually, the behavior of the corpse baby is no longer strange. Since the beginning of spring this year, he has begun to learn to adapt to dressing and shoes. Nor do I eat any more bites, raw and cold things.

Coupled with the secret medicine of the dragon locker, he helped Han Quan pull out the corpse qi and resentment in his body, and his behavior and behavior habits were no different from that of a normal child.

On this day, Mu Qingming had nothing to do anyway, so he simply played with Hanquan at home for a long time. It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that he went to the study to read the ancient books given to him by the lord of the ghost market.

"Daddy Wood." Hanquan, who was still unfinished, shouted indistinctly, holding a rattle and a spinning top at the same time, and followed closely. After standing beside Mu Qingming, he handed the spinning top in his hand and motioned for Mu Qingming to play with him again.

"Go find your Mohan mother." Mu Qingming smiled, took the little spinning top in his hand and played with it for a while, and then handed it to the corpse baby cold spring with a faint loss on his face.

"Cold Springs are coming to me, it's time for you to take a nap." Mo Han, who stood in front of the door of the study in time, beckoned to Hanquan. The clear eyes are full of the tenderness that only a loving mother has: "I've been playing for an hour, and I'll play again when I wake up." ”。

"Go ahead, or I'll spank you." After Mu Qingming deliberately scared the corpse baby Hanquan, Hanquan, who was smirking, seemed to know that he was deliberately scaring himself, so he put away his unfinished thoughts and obediently walked towards Mo Han's side.

Mo Han went out with Hanquan, washed his face, hands and feet, and took him to the bedroom.

Mu Qingming finally calmed down and began to carefully flip through the ancient books given to him by the great monk. They are all bamboo slips from the Qin and Han dynasties, which are very old, and Mu Qingming is also carefully turned. I am afraid that if the force is too heavy, these bamboo slips will fall apart.

In addition, the words engraved on the book are mottled by too many years, and it looks really a bit laborious.

After reading Mu Qingming for a long time, I finished reading the hundreds of words sprinkled on a roll of bamboo slips.

These books are all records of the ancient Dian Kingdom and the Ailao Kingdom, but since they are compiled books, I am afraid that the authors are Han Chinese.

However, after Mu Qingming read these books, he only knew that the Hundred Illusion Diagram was really as stated by the owner of the ghost market, and it was really picked up by a merchant who had not burned two snake skins, and made a merchant drum.

However, the book also mentions that every time the drum is shaken, the sound of the drum can temporarily confuse the minds of others nearby. Specifically, after being confused, it is like this, but it is not recorded in the book.

However, since the witchcraft is cast, the dragon locker will be able to sense the magic power in it when he gets close to this merchandising drum. It's just that there are so many merchants in Kunming, who is this bottom? And it is possible that the descendants of the merchant who picked up the snakeskin at the beginning have stopped doing this business.

If that's the case, it's really a needle in a haystack. You can only start with these merchants who make goods, department stores and other goods.

There is a good thing about doing things in the Qi family, and all the businesses in the city know a little bit. In particular, almost all the merchants who do department stores have business dealings with the Qi family, and they need the Qi family to bring some of their hoarded goods to Tibet and Nepal for sale.

As early as a few days ago, Mu Qingming privately found Mrs. Qi and got these lists. These days, they are like snitches, hiding their bodies at night with a stealth charm, and infiltrating the homes and stores of these department store merchants according to the list, looking for the whereabouts of the Hundred Illusions.

But still nothing, nothing was found.

Mu Qingming did not give up, and planned to continue looking for it until he found it.

"Wood." Coaxed Mo Han, who was asleep, to the corpse baby Hanquan, walked slowly to the study, looked at Mu Qingming, who was slightly frowning between his eyebrows, and said in a low voice as much as possible: "After thinking about it for the past few days, I feel that although it is a good way to find the descendants of the merchant, it is not the only way to inquire about every department store. ”。

After saying this, Mo Han, who had already stood by the bookcase, took a rattle and placed it in front of Mu Qingming. On the rattle of this mahogany column, two fair-skinned chubby children are painted playing. At a glance, you can see that this is a child's toy.

And Mu Qingming is also very familiar with this thing, this is still the toy he sold to the corpse baby Hanquan.

"Rattle?" Mu Qingming was stunned for a moment, looked at the drum, looked up at his wife with a confused gaze, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”。

"The merchant drum is similar to the rattle, and the candy man who sells toys is not shaking the merchant drum, but walking the streets and alleys with the rattle." Mo Han smiled, as beautiful as a fairy: "This is to attract the attention of children, so I use a rattle instead of a merchant drum." ”。

"yes, I know." Mu Qingming, who nodded, still didn't know what his wife was going to say.

"I want to tell you, if you can't find this drum in the house of a department store merchant, is it that the merchant's descendant has changed careers?" With that, Mo Han's gaze moved away and landed on the rattle on the table.

Mu Qingming followed her gaze, and after seeing the rattle again, he suddenly realized.

Time has passed, and most of the merchant's descendants have changed careers. But the people in his family know more or less the function of the drum. Although they didn't know that the drum surface was made of snake skin, it would never destroy the heavens.

If you change careers and don't do department stores, you can also change the merchant drum into a rattle. Make some toys, candy and candy people that children like.

And children are mentally incomplete, and they are more likely to be bewitched by illusions and pay obediently. As for the rattle, the drum body can be made of wood or bamboo, as well as mud and hard paper; Whereas, the drum surface can also be made of sheepskin, cowhide, snakeskin, or paper.

The fantasy painting is not on paper, it happens to be snakeskin!

Mu Qingming finally understood what Mo Han meant and laughed.

Where are the descendants of the merchants? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
