Chapter 24: The Mystery of the Divine Bow

"Someone is eavesdropping!" Qi Lu's face changed suddenly, and the person jumped out like an arrow.

Under the eaves, the mysterious black cat was looking at him.

"Who the hell are you?" Qi Lu asked in a deep voice.

"Looks like you haven't regained all of your memories yet." The black cat sighed, "But now is not the time for me to reveal my true identity. ”

"And what is your purpose?" Qi Lu's fists were clenched, and cold sweat broke out in his palms, he suspected that all this was a conspiracy.

"So that you can stop the coming catastrophe."

"Why do you button up this big hat?" It was Lao Wu who spoke, and he stretched out his hand that had been bitten by a black cat and said, "As a god, you actually bite me like a shrew, don't you feel ashamed?" ”

"That's just a joke, and for those of you who are always in danger, this little injury is nothing."

The black cat turned his head to Qi Lu again and said, "I already told you, this time, you have to deal with a very special monster, and you must be very energetic. ”

"Are you afraid I'm going to fail?" The corners of Qi Lu's mouth hooked up a light smile.

He spoke in a calm tone, not believing that he would fail at all. But Jiang Wenhao's body was already trembling slightly, after all, it was the first time the professor had seen a cat who could only speak human words.

"You've failed, but there's still a chance to make amends."

"Where did I fail?" Qi Lu still didn't believe it.

"The gems have been taken by them, and you don't even know their purpose."

Qi Lu blushed, and he muttered, "Could it be that this monster really wants to use the power of gems to travel through time and space to change history?" ”

The black cat smiled strangely at him, and ran into the professor's office and crouched down on the desk.

"Who would believe that a cat could speak human words if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes." Jiang Wenhao sighed with emotion.

"Let's go inside." Qi Lu said.

The three of them sat down around the table around the black cat, which seemed a little funny, but no one had a relaxed expression on their faces.

The door closed silently, the black cat's eyes sparkling, and it opened its mouth to spit out a puff of smoke. The smoke condenses in the shape and turns into four different objects.

Pei Liping's Qianlong Tongbao, the turquoise on the Songwen sword, the fox spirit stone of the Semitic tribe, and the red agate.

"Do you know why this mysterious organization got these things?"

"I don't know." Qi Lu replied honestly.

"Because they are relics left in the world by Hou Yi before he died."

"It can't be!" Qi Lu suddenly glared at it viciously and said, "You're lying!" ”

"I know the doubts in your heart, it's because you haven't regained all your memories yet, so I can't believe this fact."

Hearing this, Qi Lu suddenly looked like a deflated ball, he sighed, and remembered the past again in a trance.

Jiang Wenhao asked him without knowing the truth: "Xiao Qi, have you lost your memory?" Why don't you go to the hospital? ”

Qi Lu sat there without squeaking, but Lao Wu took out the baby wine jug, took a sip of wine and said, "It's almost, but if he really recovers his memory, he may die at any time." ”

Jiang Wenhao's doubts were suddenly replaced by fear in his head, he didn't expect this young man to be in danger at all times.

The black cat shook its fur and continued, "In the last Three Realms War, Hou Yi sealed the Emperor River with the Heavenly Shooting Divine Bow, and he himself was seriously injured. In order to prevent the artifact from falling into the hands of the young people, he hid the divine bow in a place that no one knew. ”

"We all know that, you pick and choose." Lao Wu took another sip of wine.

"In the thousands of years since, the Heavenly Shooting Divine Bow has appeared several times in the human world, and each time it has attracted the competition between the two worlds of gods and demons."

"But it turned out that the broken bows were fake." Lao Wu was a little impatient.

"Yes, the real divine bow is still buried in a place we don't know." The black cat straightened up and sat down on the table like a human. "But now, the organization you're facing has the clues to the Divine Bow, and they want to seize the Divine Bow and destroy everything in this world."

"Is that serious as you say?" Lao Wu shook his head disapprovingly and said, "You have watched too many doomsday blockbusters." ”

"Whatever their purpose, we can't let the bow fall into the hands of others." Qi Lu, who came back from his reverie, glanced at Lao Wu and said, "The Heavenly Shooting God Bow is only worthy of King Dayi, and no one is allowed to trespass." ”

"I'm relieved that you have this thought." The black cat said: "The truth of the matter is that before he died, Hou Yi disintegrated the key to open the divine bow into seven parts and handed them over to the seven people he trusted the most for safekeeping. ”

Qi Lu and Lao Wu looked at each other and didn't make a sound, but Jiang Wenhao's curiosity was great, and he opened his mouth to ask: "What happened later?" ”

"Hou Yi can be said to be a very smart person, when he gave the parts to the seven friends, he did not explain that they were the parts that opened the key to the divine bow, and deliberately transformed these seven parts into the appearance of other items. He did this because he didn't want outsiders to know the truth, and he didn't want his friends to be implicated because of this. ”

Jiang Wenhao nodded and said, "This is indeed a safe method. ”

"But there is no such thing as an impermeable wall, and after all, a god knows the secret. She had already had the heart to peep into the artifact, but it was a pity that the last time she seized the conspiracy of the divine bow, because Hou Yi, who was reincarnated in the human world, defeated her again, which made her vitality so badly damaged that she hibernate for thousands of years before recovering her vitality. ”

Jiang Wenhao was shocked: "Are you saying that she is now making a comeback and wants to seize the Divine Bow again?" ”

"Yes, and she's got the four items you just saw. She won't give up the remaining three. The black cat let out a human sigh. If she's the only one, we can stop her. But she actually abandoned her identity as a god and colluded with the demon clan, and her power has increased a lot. So she came this time with the desire to win, and vowed not to give up if she didn't achieve her goal. ”

The black cat's eyes looked directly at Qi Lu, as if they wanted to see through his soul. "You know who she is, right?"

"Yes." Qi Lu is like a gossamer.

Jiang Wenhao was just an ordinary human historian who didn't know anything about the history of the gods and demons, and he asked a little puzzled: "I don't understand, why didn't you, as a god, personally stop this conspiracy, but let Xiao Qi complete this arduous task?" ”

"Do you think I'm greedy for life and afraid of death? Because I have an even more important mission! The black cat said coldly: "The reason why Qi Lu wants to pick up this burden is because he holds the most critical component of the key in his hand!" ”

"Xiao Qi, is this true?"

"Yes." Qi Lu turned his head, not daring to meet the professor's gaze.

"Do you still want to escape?" The black cat shouted at him!

Qi Lu was silent again, his eyes wandering.

"Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it's better to fight with them!" At the critical moment, Lao Wu spoke, changing his timid and cowardly character in the past.

Qi Lu slowly stood up, looking at the sunset that was about to fall outside the window, he remembered a lot of past events for a while, and those fragmented memories gathered together like water droplets, slowly taking shape in his mind.

When he raised his head again, the decadent aura on his body disappeared, and he said in a deep voice, "I won't let things happen again." This time, no matter what, it's going to be put to an end once and for all. ”

"Hehe, this is like your previous personality." The black cat grinned.

Qi Lu and Lao Wu glanced at each other, and the two of them also laughed with the mysterious black cat.

"Looks like you've made up your mind."

"Maybe." Qi Lu replied with that trademark grinning expression: "I remember who you are, you are the guy who repeatedly gives me orders through the computer monitor." ”

The black cat didn't deny it, it nodded and said, "You borrowed Qianyehua's divine power to successfully block my information, so that I had to come to you in person." ”

Qi Lu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Why do you have to pretend to be a ghost, you can't say anything well?" ”

"Actually, I'm secretly helping you, and I've been following you ever since you became a soul crosser."

"Follow, I think it's surveillance." Qi Lu smiled bitterly, people have been following him for a long time, and he and Lao Wu didn't notice it in the slightest, which can't but be said to be a very embarrassing thing.

The black cat yawned and did not answer positively.

Qi Lu asked again: "Who is the monster I am about to deal with?" ”

"I don't know, he's very hidden, and it's hard for me to find out where he is."

"You don't even know his details, why do you tell me he's a special youkai?"

"Because the spell he uses is not in the five elements of yin and yang."

"What!" Not only Qi Lu, but even Lao Wu was surprised this time.

"Because he's using puppetry."

Those who use puppetry, known as puppeteers, do not need to borrow the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth elements of the Five Elements to enhance their mana, but directly use the thin lines of true qi condensation to operate the puppet to fight. No matter how fast and fast ordinary spells are, they must abide by the principle that the five elements are mutually reinforcing. However, the puppet technique is immune to any spell, so Qi Lu began to want to confirm the identity of the enemy by attacking his puppet, which was basically an impossible task.

No wonder when Qi Lu faced the enemy several times, he couldn't even detect the enemy's true body, it turned out that the enemy was hiding far away to control the puppet to fight him in close quarters. If the caster can't be accurately identified, he will be at a disadvantage by passively responding to enemy attacks, and it will be harder to defeat the enemy than to ascend to the sky.

"You're so self-conscious, I'm afraid it will be a long time before I meet you next time." The body of the black cat is fogging.

"Hey, don't go, I still have a lot to ask you!"

The black cat couldn't hear Qi Lu's words, it had completely turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared into the room.

The three of them fell silent, and the news brought to them by the black cat exploded in their minds like a thunderbolt. The sense of crisis of impending danger and the confusing truth wrapped Qi Lu's self-confidence and made him speechless.

But Lao Wu scolded and said: "He can really pretend to be forced, throw the mess to us, and wait to pick up the ready-made." ”

Qi Lu's mobile phone rang at an inopportune time, and he took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Jin Sanye calling. These days, he has been busy exploring the secrets of the ancient tomb, but he has forgotten all the tasks assigned by Liu Chenfei.

Qi Lu finished talking to Jin Sanye as calmly as possible, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Lao Wu asked, "Who is looking for you?" ”

"The third master asked me over for a cup of tea."

"Drinking tea, it's not that simple, this old fox is for the tiger's head Fang Zun's business, right?"

"Of course, it is estimated that I haven't paid attention to him in the past few days, and he is a little out of breath." Qi Lu showed a wicked smile on his lips.
