The two people who monitored Sun Haoyang in the woods were named Bai Liliang and Bai Lichen, and like Sun Haoyang, they both belonged to the sixteen sons of Taishan Hall of the Iron Cloth Gate, but the two of them were twins, and they were also the two with the strongest combat effectiveness among the sixteen sons.

And they came here for two purposes: one is to clean up the portal and kill Sun Haoyang, a lone undercover agent; Second, to recapture the Dingjia pot that originally belonged to the Iron Cloth Gate.

Bai Liliang, who was wearing a night vision device, stood on a tree, with a radio intercom in his ear, and communicated with his younger brother Bai Lichen below in a low voice: "Brother Sun turned out to be a lone soldier. ”

Bai Lichen, who was leaning against the tree, closed his eyes: "When the secret armor was snatched away, the secret hall had already noticed that Zhong Fang was not the only lone spy among the sixteen sons. ”

Bai Liliang was still squatting there and observing: "Zhong Fang, Suo Changming, and Geng Yun are all dead, plus the dying Brother Sun, four of the sixteen sons have died, and there are still twelve people left." ”

Bai Lichen finally opened his eyes: "Big brother, don't call Brother Sun anymore, he is not a person from the Iron Cloth Gate at all." ”

Bai Liliang jumped off the tree and landed firmly in front of Bai Lichen: "The task given to us by the secret hall is not only to kill the traitor, but also to get back the Ding Jia pot, but I am a little strange." ”

Bai Lichen asked, "What's strange?" ”

Bai Liliang frowned and said, "It's strange why the lone army suddenly sent someone to find the Ding Jia Pot, and where did the secret hall get the information that the Lone Army was looking for the Ding Jia Pot?" Moreover, in addition to us, there are Sun Haoyang and another group of people who are looking for them, who are the first batch of people? We don't know any of this, so the orders from above are actually very unclear. ”

Bailichen knows very well that the most important thing in every mission is intelligence, and to carry out operations under the premise that the enemy's intelligence is unclear is undoubtedly digging his own grave.

Therefore, after the two accepted the task, they went to find the Styx in their private name, hoping that the Stygian could inform them of the relevant situation, but the Stygian obviously didn't want to wade into this muddy water, and directly told them that they didn't know.

It is rare for the Stygian to answer the customer's request like this, because there is almost nothing they don't know, and even if they really don't know, they will tell some of it on the side, in exchange for long-term cooperation with customers in the other way, so as not to do the business to death, but this time the Stygian Ear said the word I don't know cleanly.

However, the three words "I don't know" made the Baili brothers realize that this matter probably had the participation of the government, and the so-called government refers to 517.

Although Tieyimen and 517 have already reached an agreement and signed that agreement, their identities are heretics after all, and since they are aliens, they have their own rules of conduct, and it can also be said that they are still lucky in front of 517, as long as they do not violate the relevant laws, they will not be held accountable by 517.

For example, they snatched the Ding Jia pot and returned it to its original owner, and it stands to reason that 517 would not intervene, but if they wanted to kill people and clean up the portal, it would be another matter, so the Baili brothers planned to only capture Sun Haoyang and not harm others, and then smuggle Sun Haoyang out of China and go abroad to deal with it.

Because of this, their mission this time was very difficult, and it was precisely because of the difficulty that the Secret Hall would send the Baili brothers out.

Inside the big pit, because of a thunderstorm in the sky, Sun Haoyang, who was in a panic, was startled, and he subconsciously looked at the woods above, worried that the iron-clad gate had discovered his rebellion, and sent someone to track down and clean up the portal.

As a lone soldier, it was clear from the beginning of the infiltration mission that once his identity was revealed, unless he had very important information in his hands, he would not send any assistance. Even if the Iron Cloak Door accuses Lone Army of his actions at the Heresy Meeting, Lone Army will flatly deny that the person is an undercover agent of Lone Army.

"Send whoever you want, don't send the twins." Sun Haoyang looked at the dark woods and muttered to himself.

Wang Xiaolong asked, "Master, what are you talking about twins?" ”

Sun Haoyang shook his head: "It's nothing." ”

Although Sun Haoyang said this, his face had become very ugly at this time, as if he was about to die, knowing that he could not escape the pursuit of death.

In the sixth layer of the Evil Suppression Tower, Wei Chiran had already made some breakthroughs, he found that the books on the shelves, the sides of the scrolled slips were colored, either black or white, and the spine of the thread-bound books was the same, black and white. He tried to remove the slip and the thread-bound book, but nothing touched the mechanism.

Wei Chiran informed He Changqing of his discovery, and He Changqing asked him, "Then what?" What is your speculation? ”

Wei Chi said: "I speculate that it is probably necessary to rearrange the books on the shelves into a specific pattern, so that the entrance to the next floor can be opened. ”

Zhou Xianwei had an idea at this time and asked: "If this is the case, then there must be a pattern that can be compared somewhere on this layer, if there is no contrasting pattern, it is like no password mother, no one can solve it." ”

Wei Chiran nodded and looked around: "Yes, that's right, you have to find that pattern first, not one, but four." ”

He Changqing motioned for Zhou Xianwei to help as well, while he sat there with his eyes closed, not seeming to be in a hurry, and seemed to be thinking about something.

The two searched twice but didn't find any clues, after all, the attic is such a large space, except for the floor is the ceiling, and then there are four bookshelves, they have searched for these places, and they have found nothing, so they can only go back to the desk in the middle to look for it.

After looking for a while, they still didn't find anything, Wei Chiran and Zhou Xianwei even moved the table away, and looked at the position where the table foot was blocked, and there was nothing there.

Wei Chiran frowned and said: "No, I've searched all over it, there is no corresponding pattern at all, I even found the gap in the desk." ”

"Desk? Cranny? He Changqing realized something, got up, walked to the desk with half-squinted eyes, looked at it carefully, and then said, "Sure enough, it's a desk." ”

Wei Chiran asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

He Changqing said slowly: "As far as you are concerned, I don't think there is a problem. ”

Zhou Xianwei asked, "What do you mean?" ”

He Changqing explained: "There is a difference between a table and a case, do you know? ”

Wei Chi shook his head: "I know the table, what does the case mean?" ”

He Changqing smiled: "To put it simply, there is an essential difference between the table and the case in form, and the name is determined from the position of the legs, generally speaking, if the position of the legs is against the four corners of the table, then it belongs to the table, but on the contrary, if the position of the legs is slightly put in together, it is called a case, and what is placed here is a table, not a case, and the problem is here." ”

Although Wei Chiran and Zhou Xianwei understood the difference between the case and the table, they didn't understand why it was the table instead of the case, which was the problem, so they both shook their heads in unison to say that they didn't understand.

He Changqing said: "In ancient times, in terms of level, the case was more advanced than the table, among the idioms, there were shooting the case, shooting the case, the snow case, etc., there was no such thing as shooting the table and getting up, slapping the table and shouting, right?" As for the case, it is generally divided into four types, confession case, book case, painting case and stove case. ”

The offering case refers to the sacrificial use, the stove case refers to the type placed on the kang, and the book case and the painting case are used for the purpose of writing and painting.

When Wei Chi heard this, he suddenly realized: "Master, I understand, do you mean that in this kind of study, in ancient times, there would be no tables, but books or paintings?" ”

He Changqing said: "You can be taught, you are not stupid, I have already given you such an obvious hint, and it is up to you next." ”

Wei Chiran immediately walked to the table, looked carefully at the gap above, looked down along the lines of the gap, squatted down and found that there were similar track-like lines on both sides of the table leg below, so he asked Zhou Xianwei to lift the side of the table and try to move the table leg, but he didn't expect the table leg to move in directly, and then found a pattern in the original position of the original table leg.

"There it is!" Wei Chi hurriedly concocted the same method, moved the other three table legs into it, turned the table in front of him directly into a case, and successfully found four patterns.

Wei Chiran took a picture of the four patterns with his mobile phone, Zhou Xianwei took a closer look, but found that it was four words, four very strange words, and he had seen it, it should be said that most Chinese have seen it, but very few people know it, because they are four Taoist characters, but put here, it should be the four secret characters of the iron coat gate.

Wei Chiran had seen the secret in the Diming Tower, although he was not particularly clear, but he had learned a little, so he patiently followed the instructions on the pattern, and began to rearrange the books on the first shelf.

On the top of the Evil Suppression Tower, Sun Haoyang lay there resting, while Wang Xiaolong and his five subordinates couldn't sleep at all, after all, they had never lived in the wilderness, plus the thunder in the sky, and the wind blowing, which made them realize that if they either went back to get the tent now, they would be drenched in soup or they would be drenched in soup, and maybe they would catch a cold and fever, not to mention what to wait for.

Wang Xiaolong tentatively discussed with Sun Haoyang, Sun Haoyang agreed that he would send two of his men to fetch the tent, which was also a kind of temptation, if the Iron Cloak Gate had already sent people, then the people who were chasing him must be nearby.

Because the person sent must be a master, the master will naturally be cautious, and will not let go of the opportunity to break them one by one, and will definitely directly kill the two people who left first.

It's just that to Sun Haoyang's surprise, the people who went to pick up the tent in the car under the mountain returned smoothly an hour later, and they did not encounter any accidents and were not attacked.

Sun Haoyang felt strange, didn't the Iron Cloak Gate send someone? Or did the people who sent them not simply want to put them to death, but to play with them?

Playing around? When he thought of these four words, Sun Haoyang thought of the Baili brothers again, these two guys are first-class masters in Taishan Hall, not only good kung fu, but also ruthless means, people who fall into their hands, even if they are still alive, will have a mental breakdown.

Because the twins of Bai Liliang and Bai Lichen are magicians on the surface, and they perfectly combine the identity of magicians with the profession of the sixteen sons of the Iron Cloth Gate.

In superstitious antiquity, magicians were the kind of people who could manipulate magic.
