Chapter XXVIII
"Flowers?" Several people looked at each other in amazement.
"Gongzi Jiongyan, what is your intention in giving the wolf demon flower?" Mu Yu looked at the flower and asked Jiong Yan in surprise.
"Jiong Yan Gongzi, this flower seems to be different from ordinary flowers. The flowers of this flower seem to glow red, so beautiful, what's the name? "When Yu Ruo got closer and took a look, he was very surprised.
Everyone listened to Yu Ruo's words, and they all observed this flower.
The flower really glowed red, and the red light it emitted shimmered and sparkling, and it was very beautiful.
"This flower is so beautiful." Mu Yu couldn't help but admire.
After Tang Yi looked at the flower, he pointed to the flower and asked, "Does this flower have anything to do with catching the wolf demon?" "Tang Yi has no intention of appreciating the flowers at this time.
Jiong Yan slowly approached the window, holding the flower in his right hand, and said while looking at it: "This flower is called the concentric glow flower, and two flowers bloom at the same time on one stem."
One of the special features of this flower is that at night, it glows red, which is very beautiful. Our demon clan calls this flower: 'the spirit of the flower'. ”
"What does that have to do with the wolf demon?" Tang Yi only wanted to know now what this flower had for catching wolf demons.
Jiong Yan said slowly: "In addition to the red light emitted by this flower, another feature is that when the two flowers on a stem are combined, the light they emit is dazzling red, if you separate them, ...... it."
Jiong Yan plucked one of the flowers as he spoke.
Everyone took a closer look, and after the two flowers were separated, the red light emitted by each flower instantly faded.
"Oh, I know why they're called Concentric Glow. Not only do the two flowers grow from the same root, but more importantly, when the two flowers are combined, they emit a dazzling red light, and when they are separated, the red light turns into a light red. Yu Ruo suddenly realized.
Tang Yi looked left and right, and asked impatiently: "You have been talking for a long time, and you haven't said what this flower has to do with the wolf demon?" ”
Jiong Yan held the jade flute in his right hand, touched the jade flute softly with his left hand, and then said slowly: "This wolf demon came without a trace, and went without a trace." And it will hide the demonic energy.
In order to prevent him from escaping again, before catching the wolf demon, I specially picked a concentric glow flower.
The two flowers of this flower were turned into flower powder by me. The end of a flower is painted on the jade flute;
When I was fighting with the wolf demon, the flower of the other flower took the opportunity to hit the wolf demon's body......"
"Don't you want to borrow the two flowers of this flower together to emit a dazzling red light, and when separated, the red light will turn into a light red character, and come to find the wolf demon traces?" Xiao Ze listened and guessed.
"The parents who gave birth to me, and Xiao Ze who knows me." Jiong Yan sighed with a smile.
Tang Yi was reminded by Xiao Ze's words, and guessed in his heart what this flower had to do with catching the wolf demon.
Mu Yu and Yu Ruo looked at them stupidly.
Seeing that Mu Yu and Yu Ruo still didn't understand, Jiong Yan looked at the flowers and continued: "In addition to turning the two flowers of the concentric glow flower into flower powder;
He also cast a spell on the flower powder that hit the wolf demon. As long as anyone has come into contact with the wolf demon, this flower will stick to whom......"
"Smack"
Just as Jiong Yan was talking energetically, Tang Yi suddenly clapped his hands and realized: "I know."
The wolf demon is stained with the powder of a flower made of concentric glow flowers, and your jade flute is also smeared with the powder of another flower of the concentric glow flower.
If you encounter a wolf demon or meet someone who has been in contact with a wolf demon, then your jade flute will react. ”
After hearing this, Jiong Yan gave Tang Yi a thumbs up, "You're right.
There is another point: the longer anyone has been in contact with the wolf demon, the more flowers this person will be contaminated, and once my jade flute encounters someone who is contaminated with a lot of flowers or the wolf demon himself, it will show a dazzling red;
The shorter the contact time between the wolf demon and the wolf demon, the less the flower powder will be contaminated, and the jade flute will show a light red color when it encounters someone with less flower powder. ”
"Hahaha, I see. I know what to do. Tang Yi laughed happily, "Then please Jiong Yan come with me to find the whereabouts of the wolf demon these days." ”
Jiong Yan waved his hand, "It's enough for you to take my jade flute." I'm not going for the time being. ”
Tang Yi thought about it and felt that this was okay. As long as you have the jade flute in your hand, you can find the traces of the wolf demon.
Jiong Yan handed the jade flute to Tang Yi. Tang Yi held the jade flute in both hands, like a treasure.
"By the way, you can go and check the person named Li Chu in the 'Jia's Inn', and find out who he has been in contact with, I suspect that he had a brief contact with the wolf demon." Jiong Yan said to Tang Yi.
"Oh, why doubt him?" Xiao Ze immediately asked.
Jiong Yan pointed at Xiao Ze and Yu Ruo and said, "When you came back last night, my jade flute was a light red. ”
"No wonder you kept asking me yesterday, who did you meet? And the person I saw must have been 'I didn't show up a few days ago, but I only arrived at the shop today.'"
At the time, I wondered why it had to be someone who didn't show up the other day, but went to the shop today.
Now that you think about it, you're not looking for someone at all;
What you're really looking for is the person who will appear during this time after your battle with the wolf demon.
Because after you fight with the wolf demon, the wolf demon will have the end of concentric glow flowers.
Yu Ruo and I only came into contact with people during this time period that your jade flute reacted. Am I right? Xiao Ze stared at Jiong Yan. The tone is slightly angry.
"I admit I'm not telling you the truth." Jiong Yan saw Xiao Ze's face with anger, and immediately admitted the facts. There was a hint of apology in his tone.
"Why don't you tell me the truth?" Xiao Ze blamed.
"I just want to investigate and tell you later." Jiong Yan lowered his head and said slowly.
Xiao Ze stared at Jiong Yan angrily.
Mu Yu and Yu Ruo glanced at each other, and neither of them knew how to persuade them.
Tang Yi took the jade flute and said, "Oh, let's not talk about this now, let's talk about the wolf demon first."
After Xiao Ze and Yu Ruo appeared, your jade flute took on a pale red color. In other words, among the people the two of them came into contact with, one of them might be a wolf demon.
If you exclude the people they came into contact with according to the time period, the person named Li or something should be the most suspicious of being a wolf demon. ”
"That's right, I thought Li Chu was a wolf demon at first, but when I checked it again today, I found that my jade flute's reaction to him was a light red.
In other words, he only had a brief contact with the wolf demon, but he was not a wolf demon. Jiong Yan recalled.
"Gongzi Jiongyan, is that one named Li Chu a wolf demon, isn't it clear if you ask Xiao Ze? Why do you have to go to the inn yourself? ”
Mu Yu felt that Jiong Yan personally went to the inn to investigate Li Chu, which was completely superfluous. With Xiao Ze's mana, he will definitely be able to tell whether Li Chu is a human or a demon.
Jiong Yan understood the meaning of Mu Yu's words, and said: "This wolf demon is not ordinary, not only is his mana strong, but he also hides his demonic energy.
Do you remember the day you fought him? At that time, due to your accidental intrusion, coupled with the timely arrival of Tang Yi and me, we were able to discover the demonic energy on the victim's corpse;
What's more, when the wolf demon fights you, it scratches you, but its demonic energy accidentally remains in your wounds.
In this way, we can determine from your injuries that the demon that sucks the blood of human essence is a wolf demon.
Don't you know, before you fought with the wolf demon, Tang Yi and I both met with the wolf demon, but neither of us noticed a trace of his demonic aura.
From this point of view, this wolf demon's ability to hide demonic energy is really extraordinary.
With Xiao Ze's ability, if you want to detect the demonic energy of the wolf demon, I don't think it's so easy. ”
Xiao Ze silently thought that Jiong Yan's analysis was reasonable. Jiong Yan and Tang Yi can't detect it, and they may not be able to detect it.
Yu Ruo thought for a while and said slowly: "Actually, in addition to Li Chu yesterday, we also came into contact with a person, and this person was the one who appeared during the time period after our battle with the wolf demon. ”
"Who?" Tang Yi asked.
"Boss lady," Xiao Ze and Yu Ruo said together.
Jiong Yan pondered: "How did I forget her." ”
"Then tomorrow I'll take the jade flute to the store to check." Tang Yi held the jade flute.
"Who's checking? Do you check the proprietress ? She's not a wolf. A hint of displeasure crossed Xiao Ze's face.
Jiong Yan noticed that Xiao Ze was a little unhappy, and he knew in his heart that this Boss Jia and Mrs. Jia took good care of Xiao Ze and had never treated Xiao Ze badly.
They do things together, and they still have some affection.
Now that he heard that Tang Yi was going to investigate Mrs. Jia, Xiao Ze was emotionally unacceptable.
Tang Yi's mind was full of catching wolf demons at this time, and he didn't notice Xiao Ze's mood at this time. Said slowly: "I didn't say that Mrs. Jia is a wolf demon, we just checked."
In case Madame Jia has come into contact with the wolf demon, we can ask her who she has come into contact with. Wouldn't she be able to find the traces of the wolf demon by investigating the people she came into contact with? ”
Xiao Ze thought about it and felt reasonable. A trace of displeasure immediately dissipated.
On the second day. Xiao Ze and Yu Ruo, as usual, came to the inn. As soon as they arrived at the inn, they saw Tang Yi waiting by the inn door early with the jade flute.
"Oh, it's too early." Xiao Ze sighed.
Tang Yi nodded, and immediately asked Xiao Ze: "When does Mrs. Jia usually arrive at the inn?" ”
"Oh, this one isn't clear. The proprietress has always been in poor health, sometimes she will come to the inn, and sometimes she will not come. Hearing Xiao Ze say this, Tang Yi was a little disappointed.
Xiao Ze saw that Tang Yi was a little disappointed, and immediately said, "Why don't you go back first, and when the boss lady comes, I'll let Yu Ruo call you?" ”
Tang Yi didn't want to think about it and said directly: "I'll just wait here." Then he took the stool and sat down, "Besides, your inn is full of people, and if you find anyone else who has contact with the wolf demon, I can also ask by the way, so as to find the trace of the wolf demon." ”
Xiao Ze and Yu Ruo sat there alone with Tang Yi. They went on their own.
After a while, people came to the inn one after another. Every time someone came, Tang Yi would stare at whether the jade flute reacted or not.
Sometimes, he even took the jade flute and swept it around others to check it.
There were many guest officers who did not know the situation and felt that he was acting strangely, and they all threw strange looks at him.
Tang Yi not only didn't care about these strange eyes, but ran to the door of the inn and went to stand. Like a soldier on guard.
As long as someone came to the inn, he would immediately take the jade flute and sweep it around this person, and when he saw that the jade flute did not respond, he let this person enter the inn.
Some people had planned to go into the inn to eat, but because of Tang Yi's strange behavior, they were discouraged.
Some of the old customers in the inn curiously pulled Xiao Ze and asked, "Hey, what is the situation in your inn today?" Why did the person holding the jade flute take the jade flute and sweep it around us? What's the purpose of this? ”
When Xiao Ze heard this, he looked at Tang Yi: "Since ancient times, it has been said that this jade can bring good luck to people. This jade flute is also a jade artifact, as long as it is swept away. It will bring good luck. ”
"Oh? Hahaha...... In this way, all of us who are swept by the jade flute will have good luck? Xiao Ze's explanation made the old customers smile.
Xiao Ze also smiled with him, and his smile was full of embarrassment.
Yu Ruo pulled Xiao Ze and whispered, "You can really blow." ”
"If you don't explain it that way, how can I explain it. I'm not going to run to tell them the truth. It's going to cause panic. Xiao Ze saw Tang Yi holding the jade flute and guarding the door of the inn, and he was bitter in his heart.
"Brother Xiao, this Tang Gongzi is like a soldier guarding the door of our inn, and many people don't dare to come in." The child on the side saw that Tang Yi's behavior had affected the business of the inn, and he was puzzled and even more dissatisfied.
After Xiao Ze sighed, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't pay attention to him." ”
It was past noon, Tang Yi saw that the jade flute did not react at all, and Mrs. Jia had not shown up, so he slowly became anxious in his heart, and asked Xiao Ze: "Is Jiong Yan's method effective?" ”
Xiao Ze poured a cup of tea, handed it to him, and said slowly: "You can rest assured that Jiong Yan is doing things." ”
Tang Yi took the teacup and drank it. He took a stool and sat down, and asked, "Will Mrs. Jia come again today?" ”
Xiao Ze shook his head uncertainly.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts." Tang Yi suddenly covered his stomach with his right hand, and ran towards the toilet as if flying.
Xiao Ze smiled softly at Tang Yi's back and shouted, "You slow down, don't fall." ”
"Brother Xiao." Xiao Ze saw that Mrs. Jia actually appeared outside the inn.
