After Qi Lu saw Liu Chenfei drive away, he called Lao Wu to join him. Before he could finish dialing the number, he saw the company's dilapidated sedan parked next to him.

Lao Wu, who was in the driver's seat, rolled down the window and motioned for him to get into the car with a smile.

"Yours is yours." Qi Lu asked him after getting into the car, "How did you disturb Yanshi's control over Director Li?" ”

Lao Wu said while driving: "Do you still remember how I broke Zhou Ji's phantom technique in the alley of the Laojie funeral home?" ”

At that time, Lao Wu saw through the black impermanence and the death knight that suddenly appeared at a glance that they were just phantoms created by Zhou Ji, so he crossed the phantom in the air and directly attacked Zhou Ji's body, thus breaking his phantom technique, forcing Zhou Ji to appear in front of them.

This is Lao Wu's unique skill, Qi Lu doesn't have this ability. But there is a world of difference between the spells of Yanshi and Zhou Ji, how did Lao Wu do it in terms of specific steps this time?

Seeing that Qi Lu hadn't figured it out yet, Lao Wu explained to him his way to crack it: "When you go to Director Li's house, I lurk in the parking room downstairs. When the Yanshi controlled him to attack you, I instantly let myself enter the artistic realm of thought, and thus perceived the faint flow of true qi. I knew that it was the true qi emitted by the Yanshi himself, so I aimed at the source of the true qi and directly dealt him a fierce blow. ”

So that's the case, no wonder the Yanshi would run away. Although he suffered a loss this time, Qi Lu believed that it would not be long before Yanshi would make a comeback.

"Let's go to the museum." Qi Lu has made up his mind.

"What's the hurry, let's go back to the office first."

"The professor is in danger at any time, and we need to protect him closely."

Lao Wu didn't make a sound, he took out a short knife and handed it to Qi Lu.

Qi Lu took a look at the knife and found that there were black stains on the edge of the knife, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is it on your knife?" ”

"It's the blood of the Yanshi."

"Are you kidding?" Qi Lu put the blade in front of his nose and sniffed, but he didn't smell the slightest bit of blood at all, on the contrary, he felt that the smell of the black dirt was very similar to the smell of gasoline.

Lao Wu replied with a very serious attitude: "I didn't lie to you, just now I fought with Yanshi and cut his face with a knife. ”

"You've found the Yanshi's hideout?" Qi Lu didn't quite believe his words.

"Yes." Lao Wu looked through the rearview mirror and saw that Qi Lu still had a suspicious expression on his face, so he said, "While cutting off Yanshi's manipulation of Director Li, I followed the trajectory of True Qi to find Yanshi's hiding place. ”

This is indeed a clever method, Qi Lu asked, "He should be hiding in Director Li's community, right?" ”

"Yes, if it's too far away, his puppeting skills will naturally have an effect." Lao Wu continued: "He is hiding in a commissary in the community. Yanshi first controlled the shopkeeper, and then hid in the lounge in the inner room to manipulate Curator Li. ”

"Didn't you scare him out of the way when you suddenly broke in."

"yes, I caught him off guard." Lao Wu said a little proudly: "I didn't react until he was scratched by me, and he ran through the wall with the earth escape technique." ”

"Ah, he's going to run away." Qi Lu was a little surprised, as a human being, it was difficult to master the Five Elements Escape Technique because of the limitations of the physical body. Qi Lu didn't expect that Yan Shi had already learned this profound spell, and it seemed that his spell cultivation had reached a very terrifying realm.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." Lao Wu was not as surprised as him.

Qi Lu asked, "Why is the blood in Yanshi's body black?" ”

"Hell knows." Lao Wu shook his head, he couldn't answer Qi Lu's question.

No matter how high Yanshi's cultivation is, he is a human after all, and his blood will not change qualitatively until he becomes an immortal. Only the demon clan, with the improvement of the cultivation level, the body gradually became similar to humans, but the blood still had a slight difference from human blood.

What is the reason why Yanshi actually did the opposite and changed the color of the blood in his body? Even if he fell into the Demon Dao, it wouldn't have this effect!

Qi Lu's mind became more and more chaotic, and he actually thought of the clip in the sci-fi blockbuster he had watched, in which the villain did not hesitate to inject a certain drug to change his genetic structure in order to gain great power.

Could it be that the Yanshi did the same thing? Qi Lu couldn't believe that after he woke up from his long sleep, he was able to master high technology in just a few days.

The confusion in Qi Lu's heart has not been answered, and Lao Wu has already driven the car back to the Kunlun office. After the two got out of the car and entered the company, they locked the iron gate.

Lao Wu walked into the side room, opened the safe, rummaged in it for a long time, and finally took out a bottle of tightly sealed green liquid.

Qi Lu didn't need to look at it to know that it was the blood of the green worm, last time he used it to track down the whereabouts of the Shan Xiaowen Zhujun, it seems that Lao Wu also wants to borrow the power of the green worm to find the nest of the Yanshi today.

After the preparations for the ritual were ready, Lao Wu scraped the blood on the knife edge into the basin of water on the desk, and then carefully dropped a few drops of the blood of the frog worm in the sealed bottle.

The dirty blood and the green worm blood are fused with each other in the basin, and dark green spots appear in the water.

"You can do it, right?" Qi Lu asked.

Lao Wu stretched out his slender fingers and put them to his lips and whispered the incantation. Qi Lu looked at the basin of clear water intently, hoping to get a clear answer.

After reciting the incantation, Lao Wu pointed his finger at the basin of water and shouted in a low voice, "Eh! In an instant, a faint green light appeared on the surface of the water, and there were bubbles churning in the water.

"It seems that the spirit body that summoned the green worm was successful" Halfway through the words, the smile in Qi Lu's eyes disappeared, because the water in the basin was calm again.

If the spell is successful, you will be able to obtain information about the Yanshi from the stained blood, and the blood of the green worm will rise to the surface of the water and transform into the form of its own body, flying all over the city to find the whereabouts of the Yanshi.

But now anyone with a discerning eye knows that God's spell has failed.

"How could it fail?" Lao Wu stared at the basin of water and said with some hesitation: "Could it be that Yan Shi expected that we would use this trick and adopted the method of concealment in advance?" ”

"It's possible." Qi Lu frowned, "But there is another possibility. ”

"What other reasons?"

"Hmm." Qi Lu's voice suddenly raised, "The thing on the tip of your knife may not be human blood." ”

"What comes out of the wound is not blood, is it pus?" Lao Wu snatched a sentence.

"I don't know." Qi Lu couldn't explain the strangeness.

The mobile phone rang, and seeing that it was the professor calling, Qi Lu quickly connected the phone.

It turned out that Jiang Wenhao had finished the meeting, so he invited Qi Lu to the museum, and told him that he had made a new discovery of the carved words on the inner plate of the coffin, and was ready to discuss it with Qi Lu.

Lao Wu turned around and drove towards the museum at a gallop.

Entering Jiang Wenhao's office, Qi Lu saw that he was carefully examining the bronze ancient mirror with a magnifying glass.

"Professor, have you made any new discoveries?"

"Of course." Jiang Wenhao was a little excited, he pulled Qi Lu to the window, and pointed the mirror at the sunlight outside, and the gluttonous pattern on the back of the bronze mirror instantly shone on the white wall, which was very clear.

"Translucent?" Qi Lu couldn't help but gasp, this was something he hadn't expected.

"Don't worry, there's something more surprising." Jiang Wenhao turned the angle between the mirror and the sunlight, and the shadow printed on the wall was several times larger, but the gluttonous pattern on the pattern was still as clear as at the beginning.

According to the existing historical records, the translucent mirror first appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, and Qi Lu did not expect that the Yanshi more than a thousand years ago would be able to cast such an ingenious ancient mirror. Although they were enemies now, Qi Lu had to admire his ingenuity.

"Now we know the principle of the translucent mirror because there are many small convex and uneven curvature differences in the mirror surface, and then the decoration on the back of the mirror is cleverly reflected on the wall with the help of optical principles." Jiang Wenhao smiled and said, "But for this mirror, this is not the point. ”

Lao Wu asked in surprise: "The point, there are still unknown secrets in this bronze mirror?" ”

"Yes for us." Jiang Wenhao pointed to the mirror image on the wall and said, "Do you see what is between these gluttonous patterns?" ”

"Text!" Lao Wu and Qi Lu shouted in unison.

Lao Wu tried to read these words and said, "It seems that they are all single roots, maybe just meaningless decorative words." ”

"Don't worry, do you see the rules of writing?"

Qi Lu and Lao Wu shook their heads after observing for a while and said they didn't know.

"The order of the text is from south to west, and then from north to east."

This direction is very different from the order of southeast, west, and northwest that modern people are accustomed to, but Qi Lu knows the reason, which is related to the concept of the ancients. In the Bagua diagram, the Qiangua representing the sky is located in the south, and the Kun hexagram representing the earth is located in the north, so it is said that the heaven is south and the earth is north, in order to show the meaning of respect.

The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" treasured in Lao Wu's laptop computer also starts with the Nanshan Classic and ends with the East Classic, which coincides with the order of the words on the ancient mirror, and also expresses the world's awe of heaven and earth.

Lao Wu frowned and said, "But I don't see any connection between the order of the words and the meaning it wants to express. ”

Jiang Wenhao smiled and handed over the photos of the oracle bone inscriptions on the inner plate of the coffin to Lao Wu, and asked him to analyze the text on the back of the mirror.

Lao Wu was confused, and in the end he shook his head, saying that he had not been able to discover the mystery.

Seeing that Lao Wu still didn't understand, Jiang Wenhao turned his head to Qi Lu and said, "You fill in the text gap on the north side of the ancient mirror in order to see what new discoveries there are?" ”

"The king said, I will give you eternal life. Yan Zhan said, Shi Mao Niu, don't think about it" Reading this, Qi Lu's heart lit up. "It turns out that the broken words on the inner coffin plate are hidden in this bronze ancient mirror."

Jiang Wenhao took out a few pages of manuscript, handed it to Qi Lu and said, "This is the full text I translated, don't be surprised after reading it." ”

Qi Lu thought to himself, isn't the content that King Zhou Mu asked the Yanshi to divinate whether he could get the elixir of life, why did the professor say that I would be surprised after reading it?
