Chapter 32: Perfusation
[The book continues from the above, and in the last book, it was said that Miaole and Jiaoyun successfully brought the Nujing that Mu Qingming was going to use to set up the array back to the Mu family's courtyard, and Mu Qingming let the cold spring blow out the cold spring against the Nujing and freeze it. And a few days later, the snitches had already made enough to come with fake beads. Moreover, when the two beads, true and fake, were placed together in front of the leader of the snitch, the leader of the snitch could not distinguish the real from the fake. The leader of the snitch thought that he could make a deal, and asked him to put the beads away and sleep peacefully. Unexpectedly, the Immortal Dao Monitor quietly infiltrated the Snitch Vault as planned, stole the true pearl, and sent it to the West Mountain for the Immortal Dao Sect Master Liu Yang to take a look at it. 】
The green smoke curled, and the portraits of the ancestors of the snitches were shrouded in smoke, and all the drawings were not clear and not so real.
The leader of the snitches, who was in front of the portrait, looked at the silver-haired old man in front of him with an inquiring gaze, smiling with a beard. For the two beads in his hand, he couldn't see the real ones, and it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
The old man the leader of the snitch was looking at, with a ring finger missing from his left hand, and his name was Duan Zhi. He is a master of counterfeiting jewelry under the leader of the snitch. Once quenched the ordinary glass into a jade bracelet that is enough to be fake, and deceived a lot of wealthy businessmen and wealthy businessmen's wives and concubines in Panyu, Guangzhou.
Later, because of his gambling addiction, he owed countless foreign debts and was cut off by the creditor, but he did not lose his skills.
After he severed his fingers, he traveled to many places, and finally got rid of the creditor's pursuit, came to central Yunnan, and quit gambling ever since.
At first, Duan Zhi, who arrived in Kunming, only worked at Mr. Chen's house on Guangju Street (Mr. Chen in the first volume). Later, I somehow joined the Snitch and became the right-hand man under the leader of the Snitch.
Since then, the old man has followed the leader of the snitches and helped the snitch to cheat. So that these snitches can use fakes to drop the real thing and steal it.
And the beads that Duan Zhi made for the leader of the snitch today are the same, which is enough to confuse the real from the fake, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
Old Man Duan and the Snitch leader looked at each other, reading each other's confusion and incomprehension, so he raised his hand and pointed to the bead on the left hand side of the Snitch leader, and told the leader: "This is true." ”。
The leader of the snitch hurriedly picked up the real beads and looked at them carefully for a while, and after putting them down, he picked up the fake beads and looked at them for a while, but he still couldn't see any clues.
Two beads, at first glance, are exactly the same.
Speaking of which, the Snitch Leader's eye for appreciation is not bad. He has to know the authenticity of something to know whether it is worth stealing. Otherwise, it will be worth the cost of spending a lot of money on a fake.
But in terms of the things imitated by Old Man Duan, the leader of the snitch did not distinguish the real from the fake once.
In the hands of the snitch, the old man, who is already over the age of fifty, has a talent for jewelry counterfeiting, which is breathtaking.
"It's just that the employer pressed us and only gave us fifteen days, and the real beads are made of very peculiar materials, a kind of black crystal, even I can't name them; If I had more time, I could have made it more realistic. The old man continued to rub his beard and said humbly: "I can only imitate it with the volcanic glass transported from Tengchong." There are still some flaws on a closer look, but it also needs to be compared with real beads to see it, otherwise, it is impossible to distinguish the real from the fake. ”。
"That's already good." The leader of the snitch was overjoyed, and returned the box in his hand to Old Man Duan again: "After nightfall tomorrow, the stars will begin to dim and the wind will rise. I will personally put the fake beads back into the tower. After the fake beads entered the tower and the real beads were taken away by the employers, who would have the opportunity to compare them with the real beads? ”。
The Snitch leader was right, as soon as the night passed, no one but them and their employers would know that the bead had been dropped.
But it's not right, there is also a group of forces that are also staring at them and the dragon lockers, and have insight into all their transactions and actions.
"Warehousing, it's placed." The Snitch leader's face regained his calmness, and he lost the smug look he had when he spoke before, and after saying this to Old Man Duan, he closed his eyes and sat on the chair to close his eyes.
Old Man Duan closed the box in response and went out.
He also closed the door of the Snitch leader's main house.
After Old Man Duan got out of this dilapidated courtyard, he turned a corner and went to an old locust tree not far away.
He came to the locust tree and stretched out his hand to pull the rope hanging from the canopy. In the night wind, the brass bell hanging from the canopy of the tree made a crisp sound.
In the hollow in the trunk of the tree, a swarthy hand stretched out as the bell echoed.
And the owner of this hand never came out from behind the hole in the tree.
Old Man Duan glanced at it, there was a silver bracelet on his hand, and a small and delicate gilt gold toad squatted on the bracelet; So, without hesitation, he put the box in his hand and put it on the hand with the bracelet, and turned around and left after saying "warehousing".
A wisp of cold wind blew into the hollow of the tree as the bracelet-carrying hand retracted.
As soon as you enter the tree hole, there are narrow stone steps that slowly descend downward.
At the end of the stone staircase, which only allowed one person to pass, the entire thick trunk of the tree had been hollowed out.
In the underwater earth, the Snitch built a domed square chamber that resembled a burial chamber. In the dark room, there are daily necessities such as beds, tables, chairs, etc., and in the depths, there is an arch in the wall.
The snitch, holding the box and bracelet, walked straight to the archway, and when he pushed the door open, he saw another dark room inside.
It is exactly the same shape as the outside, but there are a lot more lattice shelves than the underground dark room outside, which are neatly arranged in the dark room.
The snitch, who was holding the box, placed it on one of the shelves and withdrew.
The cold wind also blew in at this time.
"It's really evil, this cold wind is blowing underground today." The snitch muttered and walked back to the bed, grabbed the wine gourd beside him, pulled the stopper, took a few sips of wine, and fell asleep on the bed.
The cold wind that blew in turned around, and the watcher of the Immortal Dao appeared from it.
The watchman wore a large straw hat and a black cloth over his face, making it difficult to see his facial features. I saw that he took the box containing the beads, put it into his arms, and turned his body around, and once again turned into a gust of cold wind, and blew out of the dark room.
The snitch guarding the place had fallen asleep and snored loudly, unaware that the beads had been taken away silently.
At the same time, Miaotian, who had already hidden with the Concealment Charm and secretly followed the watcher to this place, also quietly left the dark room. All the news here was brought back to the small courtyard of the Mu family with Miaotian's departure......
Above the West Mountain, hidden in the Immortal Dao stronghold underground, it was still shrouded in silence.
In this base, it seems that it will never have anything to do with the excitement.
In the entire stronghold, there are still not a few people to be seen.
Except for the cultists who stood guard, everyone else stayed in their own stone chambers. Or they have already fallen asleep, or they take advantage of the dead of night to seize the time and practice the evil art of the path of immortality.
Liu Yang had already slept peacefully, but because of the sudden arrival of the monitor, he had to leave the warm bed and get up to meet him.
Liu Yang's previous plan was to wait for the snitches to make the imitation pearl, and then the watcher himself took matters into his own hands and temporarily stole the bead for him to observe and inspect.
Then he quietly returned the beads to the snitch.
As long as Liu Yang gets the beads and thinks about them carefully, he can know and gain insight into the next actions and plans of the dragon lockers from the effect of the beads.
This is done in order not to alarm the Dragonlockers and the Snitch. It's just that Liu Yang didn't calculate everything, and he didn't calculate it, the snitches were indeed not alarmed, but their every move of the Immortal Dao had already been under the eyes of the dragon people.
Today's wood is different from the past, not only getting rid of the trouble of demonic energy, but also doing things more calmly, and planning is becoming more and more step-by-step.
It's just that in Liu Yang's opinion, Mu Qingming's temperament is still the same as in the past, lacking calmness and not being afraid.
When the two beads were placed in front of him, Liu Yang was already overjoyed, overjoyed at the success of his plan, and even more despised Mu Qingming.
He couldn't wait to pick up one of the beads, and as soon as he picked it up, it was the real one.
With Liu Yang's current perception, he doesn't need to look too much to find that there are a lot more water spirits in the real beads than the fake beads.
And the spirit of the thick water gathered into a torrent in the real bead, rushing in the bead.
This power is locked in the beads, and it has not leaked or spoken, nor is it irritable, it has been wandering among the beads, and it is also constantly absorbing the water spirit in the air in all directions.
The spirit of water in the beads is becoming more and more abundant.
And Liu Yang soon discovered that this bead looked brand new because of the continuous absorption of spiritual energy, without any obsolescence, as if it had just been made.
And because of the presence of the spirit of water, the beads will not be dusted. A little bit of dust on the surface.
Although Liu Yang didn't know the origin of this bead, he only looked at the function of this bead a few times, and he had already touched it.
Combined with the fact that the beads come from the ancient tower, this real bead, no matter how you look at it, is the person who built the ancient tower and put it inside for fire prevention.
You have to say that the effect of this bead contains so many water spirits, except for fighting fire, Liu Yang can't think of any other use.
He was very confused for a while, and he didn't know what the dragon lockers were going to do when they went to great lengths to make such a thing?
I was thinking about what this bead might be***, specially used to deal with the *** of the Immortal Dao. But Liu Yang thought about it, Mu Qingming didn't need to throw such a ***, it was time-consuming and laborious.
What's more, Liu Yang is a little suspicious, the more certain things he feels.
Mu Qingming's bureau was laid down by catching Liu Yang's temperament.
Liu Yang thought about it, still confused, he raised his eyes full of confusion, and looked at the Immortal Dao Watcher who was still covered with black cloth and did not show his true face.
"Recently, what has been the big news about Mu Qingming?" Liu Yang asked this and gently put the beads back into the box.
"There is no movement, it's just that Qi Gao came back a few days ago, and Mu Qingming went to see him." After thinking about it carefully, the watchman said to Liu Yang: "We didn't follow up for fear of exposure, but when he Mu Qingming went to Qi Gao's house, it was just to chat." Qi Gao is not a strange person, and Mu Qingming can't talk about anything with him. Other than that, Mu Qingming didn't do anything else. ”。
As soon as he said this, Liu Yang was even more confused; I really don't understand what Mu Qingming wants to do with such a bead?
"That's right, Master." After a pause, the watcher said: "There is a very strange thing, Mu Qingming asked his dragon lockers to go to the Qi Mansion at night and secretly sketch the graphics of the entire mansion, we can really see this thing, and we don't know what Mu Qingming is going to do with this move?" ”。
This is a mess, and the eight poles have nothing to do with each other, which makes Liu Yang even more confused and incomprehensible.
Liu Yang stood up and paced back and forth in deep thought behind the stone case.
The Qi Mansion is very ordinary, except that it is more luxurious than the small courtyards of other people's houses in the city, and the feng shui is a little better, there is no big deal, and there is nothing strange.
But the dragon lockers actually went to draw graphics, looking like they were going to do something in this house, which made Liu Yang puzzled for a while.
He looked at the beads lying quietly in the box on the table, and still couldn't figure out what the dragon lockers were going to do with it.
After Liu Yang, whose mind was filled with confusion, sat down again, he simply didn't think about anything else and thought about countermeasures.
Since he didn't know the purpose of the dragon locking people's actions for a while, Liu Yang simply planned to wait and see what was going on, so as to respond to all the changes.
After thinking about it for a long time, he really thought of a good countermeasure. Not only can they continue to monitor Mu Qingming and their dragon lockers in Kunming, but they can also figure out what Mu Qingming and they are going to do.
And I can also know the reason why Mu Qingming took great pains to steal this bead.
Liu Yang came up with a countermeasure, so he beckoned to the watcher in front of him: "Come here with your ears." ”。
The watcher walked quickly to him and stood still, leaning down, and then Liu Yang whispered in the watcher's ear.
What he said was clear only to him and the watchers who were listening.
After muttering for a long time, Liu Yang took the words, and the watcher straightened up, and couldn't help but reach out and dig out his ears.
"That's it, Mu Qingming's actions still have to be kept an eye on. For the sake of our great cause, we must not let them lock up the dragon people from now on, and no action can succeed. Liu Yang covered the box, handed the box containing the beads to the monitor, and advised: "Send the beads back to the snitches quickly, don't alarm them, the snitches, don't show your feet." ”。
The watcher nodded in response, took the box, and turned to leave Liu Yang's stone room.
After he left with his front foot, the stone door closed, and Liu Yang also stood up, and was about to walk towards the stone bed, intending to continue sleeping.
But before he took a step, Liu Yang suddenly stopped, frowned and pondered.
He suddenly realized that he had made a mistake; He was puzzled by Mu Qingming's purpose and actions in stealing the bead, perhaps just because he had seen the effect and miraculous power of the bead.
But as for the origin of this bead, he Liu Yang really didn't know anything. Even before again, I didn't know how many years there was such a bead in the ancient tower that had stood on the side of Guandu.
Since this is the case, Liu Yang thought of the puzzle that he might not be able to solve, because the origin of this bead was the reason why Liu Yang's eyes were black.
Maybe after unlocking the origin of this bead and knowing how this thing came about, he, Liu Yang, made it clear about the purpose of his dragon lock.
Thinking of this, Liu Yang shouted at the door: "Call Chen Shan." ”。
After speaking, Liu Yang sat back on the cold stone chair and quietly waited for Chen Shan's arrival.
Can Liu Yang know the origin of the beads and understand what Mu Qingming is going to do? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
