Chapter 48: The Role of Frogs

Just when Qi Lu fell into deep thought, Lao Wu slapped it heavily on the table and said, "Don't you say that I really forgot this guy!" He does have the ability to do that. Moreover, the news of the resurrection of the gods was the first to come out of his mouth, so he was naturally the most suspicious. ”

He frowned, and continued, "It's strange, this guy hasn't been there since the last time I met you, is he safe to be a bystander?" ”

Qi Lu paused before saying, "If he is the murderer of the Six Evils, it is really terrifying." Just imagine, the guy who can confuse everyone in the name of the Emperor of Heaven and wake up a monster like Jiuying from death is not only in strength, but also dozens of times stronger than us in terms of strategy. ”

Not allowing Lao Wu to open his mouth, Qi Lu then said: "Although this kind of speculation may not be reasonable, once it is true, I believe that no one in the Three Realms can control him now!" ”

A grim smile rose on Lao Wu's face, and he said word by word: "But have you ever thought about it, if it wasn't for the arrival of the dawn of the gods, what was his purpose in doing this?" ”

"I don't know, that's what makes me puzzled." Qi Lu sighed and said, "However, I can still guess a little outline of some of his motives. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Getting rid of the Six Evils is not something he has to do, his purpose may be to let us go to the mirror." In retrospect, the guys he met along the way after leaving the village, whether they were gods or demons, were all of the same caliber, that is, to let their master and apprentice arrive at Jinghua Shuiyue as soon as possible, so Qi Lu was confident that he had no misjudgment this time.

"That's right, if we don't deal with these monsters, then the next thing we have to do is to go with them to find the Houyi Divine Bow, instead of coming here." Lao Wu nodded sympathetically and said, "But the question is why he needs us here so urgently, there must be a big secret hidden here." ”

The implication is that the question returns to the original point, that is, what is the motive of the murderer? For this riddle, Qi Lu couldn't answer it, so he could only sigh again.

Lao Wu said: "It is imperative that we first determine one thing. ”

"What do you mean?"

"We need to find out where Manju is in the whole case!"

Qi Lu's heart moved when he heard this, yes, until now, he didn't know enough about the motives behind Manzhu's series of actions.

When she kidnapped Ding Xiaolan, she said that it was to prevent the resurrection of the gods, but now it can be concluded that this is a hoax from beginning to end. If Manzhu was just using this as a guise to get the Houyi Divine Bow, then why did she watch the Six Evils being killed and not give any help?

What made Qi Lu even more puzzled was that after she came to the mirror, Manzhu seemed to be a different person, and took the initiative to attack against Chang'e everywhere, which completely violated her consistent style.

And this earth-shattering conspiracy, how much does Manjoo know more than herself, so much so that she does not hesitate to be the enemy of the gods and does not want to leave any way out for herself?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Lao Wu say again: "Now there are two possibilities, one is that Manzhu is an accomplice of the murderer, and everything she does is under the orders of the mastermind behind the scenes; Another possibility is that she is not with the murderer, and everything she does is for her own benefit. ”

Qi Lu thought about it carefully and denied Lao Wu's previous inference. "It is impossible for her to be in the company of the murderer, and in her personality she will not be subservient to others. But when it comes to her being the mastermind behind the scenes, with her wisdom, she doesn't seem to have this ability. ”

"Yes, I don't believe that she is in the same league as the murderer, otherwise Fu Xiqin would not have been taken away, so she is completely for herself."

"But why would she rather fight alone than join forces with us?"

"If it were you, would you be willing to fight alongside your enemies?"

Hearing this, Qi Lu couldn't help laughing. Lao Wu is right, the grievances between himself and Manzhu have been entangled for thousands of years, even her husband Sha Hua is difficult to resolve, this woman is not an open-minded person, how can she expect her to abandon her past suspicions and fight against the enemy together!

Qi Lu settled down and said, "It seems that the only plan for today is to find Manzhu before we can make the next step?" ”

Lao Wu chuckled and asked, "Are you sure you can find her?" ”

"Nope." Qi Lu is telling the truth, Manzhu is a Netherworld Flower Fairy, if you want to hide her body, I am afraid that few people in the world can find her. Otherwise, the mysterious person who took Fu Xiqin away from her would have already gotten rid of her, so how could he tolerate her to mess with her plans.

"There's another person, find him, and we might get an answer."

"Who?"

"Beasts. The will of the resurrection of the gods is what he conveyed to us, and it was he who told the nine babies that the monsters had resurrected them. ”

"Yes, he's clearly lying!" Qi Lu couldn't help but gasp, thinking to himself how he had let this king of lies slip through the net, it seemed that he had been too careless about him before.

Lao Wu snorted coldly and said, "The beast is as timid as a mouse, and he has always been cunning in doing things. In his character, he would never risk losing his head to deceive us gods. Since he dared to pretend to be Emperor Jun's edict, this shows that there must be someone behind him! ”

Qi Lu said suspiciously: "But the last time he said that he had something to do, he ran away without seeing anyone, and now the situation is complicated, he is a shrewd person, how can he dare to come to see us, where are we going to find him?" ”

"Needless to say, he must have found a safe place to hide and watch our jokes!" Lao Wu said: "Then we can only retreat and understand the motives of another person." ”

Qi Lu was stunned when he heard this, and he already understood from Lao Wu's words who this person he was talking about, but he could only be silent.

Lao Wu sighed: "You, sometimes you are too emotional, so you have suffered a lot of losses." ”

"Although she is not my relative, I have always treated her as a relative." Qi Lu finally opened his mouth, but his tone was extremely resolute.

Lao Wu replied coldly: "Chang'e is full of suspicions, if we don't find a breakthrough from her, we will always be led by the murderer, and we will never be able to get rid of the passive situation." ”

"If there is no solid evidence, I hope you don't bother her." Qi Lu was unmoved and showed his attitude.

"It's about the safety of the entire Three Realms, you can't have any worries, let alone be emotional!"

Qi Lu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, Master, what do you say we should do?" ”

Seeing his suspicious look, Lao Wu suddenly changed his mouth and said: "Forget it, tearing your face with Chang'e at this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you and me to gain a foothold in the mirror, so let's think of another way." ”

Qi Lu was stunned, and he couldn't help but ask, "Master, what do you mean by this?" ”

Lao Wu said confidently: "We can also find a breakthrough from another person." ”

Qi Lu tilted his head and thought about it, and grinned: "You won't be talking about Qi Jinghan, right?" ”

"Yes, that's her! I have long seen that this little girl is not pleasing to the eye, think about it, how could Chang'e take this mortal woman with her as a maid? And sooner or later, it will appear at the scene of the death of his companions, and he will bite us back to be the murderer? ”

"Yes, I've been suspicious of her for a long time, and it looks like we're going to get a shot at her." Qi Lu bowed his head and said: "As long as we are secretly watching, we are not afraid that she will not show her feet." ”

"But we still have to go to the ladder to be an overseer during the day, and we just monitor her at night, but I'm afraid it won't have much effect. In case this little girl is lying in bed and sleeping at night, wouldn't it make us busy? ”

"And what do you have a good idea?" Having said that, Qi Lu knew that Lao Wu already had a way to deal with Qi Jinghan.

Lao Wu stretched out his right hand in front of Qi Lu as if by magic, and suddenly a small insect covered in green flew out of his palm and spun up and down in the room.

Qi Lu looked at it intently, and couldn't help but shout: "Isn't this a green worm?" ”

"A small puppet made of frogs, to be exact."

"Puppet?" Qi Lu was both shocked and confused, and he asked, "You don't know how to puppetry, where did this thing come from?" ”

"Have you forgotten Hong Yi, he is a master."

"I see, you stole it from Hong Yi." Qi Lu suddenly realized, and then asked him: "What kind of alert person is Hong Yi, how can you have such a skill to steal something from him?" ”

Lao Wu said with a playful smile: "When you beat Meng Huai at the beginning, I was standing by and watching. ”

It turned out that Lao Wu quietly stole the green worm from Hong Yi when everyone was fighting with Meng Huai, at that time, Hong Yi was too busy to take care of himself, how could he notice Lao Wu's small movements, even if he found out that there were a few green worm puppets missing, he thought that he was killed by Meng Huai's magic in the battle, how could he have thought that it was Lao Wu's hand behind his back.

Qi Lu couldn't help but say with a playful expression: "Do you want to use the green worm to track Qi Jinghan around the clock?" ”

Lao Wu nodded proudly and said, "Don't say that this little girl is a little immortal, even a real immortal is difficult to detect that the frogs are following around." ”

After saying that, he pinched the trick with one hand and recited a driving incantation, and the green worms flying in the room suddenly flew out of the crack in the window and drowned in the night.

Qi Lu asked a little uneasily: "If someone discovers your tracking technique and exterminates this frog, how are you going to deal with it?" ”

Lao Wu shook his hand again, and a slightly larger frog appeared in his palm. "It was the Zi Qing Worm that flew out just now, if it died, this female Qing Worm can immediately sense it and notify me, and then I will use it to find the last place where the Zi Qing Worm stays, and I am afraid it will be too late for Xiao Nizi to play any tricks."

Qi Lu bowed his head and was silent, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he spoke again: "But we still have to go to Qi Jinghan's residence to monitor her in person at night." ”

"You're doing this too much." Lao Wu is unwilling, it is not easy to be an overseer during the day, and he doesn't sleep at night, but he is afraid that his physical strength is seriously overdrawn, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to deal with the enemy.

Qi Lu was worried that Qi Jinghan would disappear like a beast after discovering the green worm, so he took a stake in Lao Wu Xiao, and finally Lao Wu nodded and agreed to Qi Lu's plan.

The matter was settled, and Qi Lu secretly prayed that he could find valuable clues from Qi Jinghan.
