Chapter 39: Puzzle Clearing
Yuan Liuli continued: "Not only will you attract those demons, but you will even affect their minds. ”
Hu Qianqiu showed a puzzled expression, "How do you say this?" ”
Gen Ruri said slowly: "Although the net scissors we encountered before are also monsters, they are not monsters that have been suppressed by the shrine. ”
Hu Qianqiu was even more puzzled, "What's going on with that?"
"Demons are also divided into good and evil, and the shrine only suppresses monsters that will hurt people, while the net shears are weak and do not hurt people, and generally only hide at the bottom of the lake and do some pranks such as cutting fishing nets."
"Before that......"
Yuan Liuli glared at Hu Qianqiu, "Wait until I'm done!" ”
Hu Qianqiu shrank his neck stupidly, and had to shut up obediently.
Hu Qianqiu himself doesn't know how to always have the upper hand when talking to others, but he is restrained everywhere in front of Yuan Liuli.
Yuan Liuli continued: "Although the net scissors are not suppressed monsters, they should be following a certain big demon who escaped from the shrine, or it feels the momentum of the monsters fleeing to China, so it will come here."
And when the net scissors found you, they were deeply attracted by the breath on your body, and lost their own nature, so they became violent, thinking that your body was the best tonic for these monsters.
And although the kappa also saw you, the evil thing in your body had not yet awakened at that time, and the breath was not so strange, so it did not fall into madness for you. ”
Hu Qianqiu asked suspiciously, "Breath?" ”
Yuan Liuli nodded, "Monsters are different from us, they don't rely on their five senses, they rely more on perception, although the breath of the same kind of creature is roughly the same, but everyone's breath is slightly different for monsters, your breath was originally normal, but recently it has become more and more weird, so they can feel you in the vast sea of people." ”
Hu Qianqiu nodded, didn't dwell on the strange matter of his own breath, and asked: "I have always wanted to ask you something before, can you see the qi on people's bodies?" ”
When Hu Qianqiu and Yuan Liuli met for the first time, Yuan Liuli said that he would not talk to people who were dying, and since then Hu Qianqiu has doubted whether Yuan Liuli can see the qi on people, and although he reunited with Yuan Liuli, his heart was always filled with other things, so this doubt was temporarily suppressed, and he knew that he would only bring it up again now.
Yuan Liuli hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "All living beings are wrapped in a layer of qi that is invisible to the naked eye, it is said that some people can also see the existence of qi after cultivation, but I was born with qi. Generally speaking, the weak are weak, the young and strong are strong, and the dying people will emit a death qi that is close to black, when I first met you and Song Xiao, you have already begun to emit death gas, but maybe it was when you met that Xuan Qingzi later, and the death qi on your body slowly faded. ”
Hu Qianqiu nodded, "Looking at your appearance, it seems that you are not very satisfied with this talent." ”
Yuan Liuli smiled bitterly, "If I could, I'd rather not have this damn talent." ”
Hu Qianqiu was so astute, he immediately guessed that this must have something to do with some of Yuan Liuli's sad past, although he was very curious in his heart, but after all, he was still empathetic, so he didn't ask about it at the moment.
Hu Qianqiu asked again: "Then you, like those monsters, sensed through qi that I was in danger there before?" ”
Yuan Liuli shook his head, "It's not like that, although the monster can feel the breath, but there is also a distance limit, generally the more powerful the monster, the stronger the range of perception, the big demon I know, the perception range is ten kilometers, and I see the qi through the naked eye, so I can only perceive the qi of the creatures within the line of sight, but after so many years of training, if someone is behind me and is hostile to me, I can barely detect his qi, as for the net scissors that I killed, it should be similar to me." ”
Hu Qianqiu nodded, no wonder Yuan Liuli could find Yu Liuyi who was following at that time.
Yuan Liuli continued: "Animals have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the same is true for monsters, and the weaker the monsters, the stronger this instinct is, although you may sound very mysterious, but it is by relying on this instinct that the net scissors have reached the vicinity of Ling Xuguan, and locked you through your unique breath." ”
Yuan Liuli really underestimated Hu Qianqiu's receptivity, Hu Qianqiu knew that the weaker the creature, the more they knew how to protect themselves, so they could survive, so they were not surprised by this instinct of the monster, nodded, and asked, "Then how did you find me?" ”
"Figured it out."
"Huh?" Hu Qianqiu is really confused now.
"I just said that the weaker the demon instinct, the stronger the instinct, so do you know why those big demons who escaped from the shrine came to China first?"
Hu Qianqiu thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Calculated?" ”
Yuan Liuli nodded, "The big demons suppressed by the shrine all have wisdom no less than that of humans, they can speak human language, and they can even change into human appearance, so some big demons will also deduce the means, but the level is not high, and they can only roughly calculate that the probability of escaping from China after escaping from the shrine is the largest, and when they arrive in China, they are gradually driven by instinct, so they will start to move from all over the country to this city." ”
Yuan Liuli suddenly sneered, "The monster that finds you next will only get more and more powerful, and I may not be able to keep you, you have to be prepared." ”
Hu Qianqiu thought about it for a while, and pretended to say deeply: "It's not bad to die in your arms." ”
Yuan Liuli glared at Hu Qianqiu fiercely again, "Love to death." ”
Hu Qianqiu laughed, and at the same time he began to wonder again, why when he was with Yuan Liuli, he couldn't help but make some jokes, and in front of others, he didn't want to say a word.
"You haven't said how you figured it out?"
"You come with me." As soon as Yuan Liuli finished speaking, he turned his head and went downstairs, acting vigorously, and the remaining water droplets on his hair also threw some of the water on Hu Qianqiu's face.
Hu Qianqiu didn't pay much attention to it, wiped it casually, picked up the bath towel wrapped around his body, and tiptoed down.
After Yuan Liuli reached the first floor, he turned around and entered the storage room at the foot of the stairs, and after Hu Qianqiu entered, he found that Yuan Liuli had disappeared, but there was a door open on the floor, and a passage went down diagonally, not knowing where it led.
When Hu Qianqiu was wondering to himself, Yuan Liuli's voice came up from below, "Why are you stunned?" Don't hurry down yet! ”
Hu Qianqiu went downstairs in a daze, but found that there was a space of nearly 100 square meters underneath, which was empty, and there was not even an electric light, but the surrounding walls seemed to be made of special materials, emitting a faint light, so Hu Qianqiu could also see things clearly.
There is a huge six-pointed star pattern painted on the ground, and there are some patterns densely painted around it that Hu Qianqiu can't understand at all, and in the middle of the six-pointed star is a Sinan, and Yuan Liuli is standing aside at this time.
"That's what you used to figure it out?"
Yuan Liuli nodded, "It's too complicated to derive by manpower alone, and I don't have that ability, this is an imitation of our shrine artifact, and it can always calculate the location of the demon." ”
Hu Qianqiu looked down at the Sinan, at the bottom was a square carved in various directions, about the same size as a plate, and there was a spoon-shaped thing on it, which looked like it was made of stone from the outside. The general Sinan is equivalent to a compass, which is made of magnets, and this Sinan is not used to indicate the north and south, but to point out the direction of the monster, so the material is naturally different.
"What's this thing called?"
"Sinan."
"I know it's Sinan, and as an artifact, there is no more special name, such as eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade, Tiancong Cloud Sword and the like?"
"Nope." Yuan Liuli shook his head, "The people in the shrine call it Sinan, and I have never heard of any special name. Sinan's spoon head will point to the nearest monster, and the closer the monster is, the lower the spoon head will be pressed. Before, the head of the spoon pointed in the direction of Ling Xuguan, and it was pressed down very close to the ground, so then I knew that there was a monster nearby, and when I arrived, I happened to save you from under the pliers of the net scissors. ”
Hu Qianqiu nodded, "So that's the case, you said that this thing is an artifact imitation, so how many more do you have?" ”
Yuan Liuli nodded, "There is a Sinan in every residence of mine. ”
Hu Qianqiu looked at Yuan Liuli, and suddenly showed a warm smile, "Since you still have so much, why don't you lend me one, so that when the monster finds me, I will be prepared in advance." ”
Yuan Liuli also smiled back at Hu Qianqiu, and then immediately became expressionless, "No." ”
Hu Qianqiu pursed his lips stupidly, "It's really stingy." ”
Yuan Liuli sneered, and didn't explain anything to Hu Qianqiu, although Hu Qianqiu is like a light in the night for monsters, but not all monsters will find him at the first time, if Yuan Liuli doesn't find the monster in time and kill it, it will brew into the tragedy of the kappa again.
Although Yuan Liuli has never mentioned this matter, she has always blamed herself in her heart, she always thinks that if she could have noticed it earlier, maybe the girl would not have died. Therefore, as Si Nan of the investigation system, Yuan Liuli said that he would not lend it to Hu Qianqiu.
Hu Qianqiu's expression suddenly dimmed when he saw Yuan Liuli, and he was naturally confused, and asked again: "You said that this is just an imitation of an artifact, so what is the purpose of the real artifact?" ”
"A real artifact doesn't need to rely on these formations on the ground, it can be used anytime and anywhere, and not only can you find monsters, as long as the holder is willing, you can also find rare treasures."
Hu Qianqiu's eyes suddenly lit up, "It's really so amazing?" You're not fooling me, if you're really so powerful, wouldn't the owner of your shrine have already made a fortune? Hu Qianqiu regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, looking at the usual expenses of Yuan Liuli, I am afraid that the shrine of Yuan Liuli is indeed not short of money.
