Lin Xi was afraid of fraud, and after watching from the side for a while, he still didn't dare to reach out to lift the lid of the crockpot, but simply used the hoe in his hand to slowly open it, and the person still stood far away, just slightly probing over to look.

But she was obviously overly nervous, and the lid of the crockpot was still quiet when it was lifted, and there was no surprise.

Seeing this, Wei Mei couldn't help but smile, and then simply pulled Lin Xi over, stepped forward and squatted down to look at the crockpot, he couldn't help frowning at a glance, and then reached in and took out another note.

"Huh? That's it? Lin Xi threw away the hoe in his hand and went up, and when Wei Mei spread out the note and read the words on it carefully, he was completely speechless.

Not only is there only one note, but there are only four huge traditional Chinese characters written on the note, "You have been deceived", which has nothing to do with the treasure they are looking for...... I don't know if they were tricked, or if they inadvertently set up a trick for others.

But no matter what it is, this phenomenon means that they haven't found the so-called clues, and they can only wander around this Baijia Town like headless flies.

After being speechless, Lin Xi turned the crockpot over and over again, and dug it for a while with a hoe, and saw that there was indeed neither treasure nor clues, so he put the crockpot back to fill in the soil quite depressed, and then patted off the dust and dirt on his hands and body before saying: "Let's go find NPCs to try." ”

Wei Mei also had no clue, nodded her head when she heard the words, and then followed her out of the alley and back to the main road in the middle of the town.

Although the sparrows are small, they are all in all directions, and so is Baijia Town. Although there are only a few dozen households in the town, there are cloth shops, clothing shops, jewelry stores, inns, restaurants, pharmacies, grocery stores, iron shops, etc., which are all available, and there is no need to say much about the practical ones, but there are also impractical ones, such as selling antique calligraphy and paintings, selling guqin, pipa and other musical instruments, and even more so, there is a theater that is not deserted.

It's just that the things in these stores are non-sellable items for Lin Xi and Wei Mei, except for the food in restaurants and some food stalls...... It seems that he had estimated that they would stay for a while, and then thoughtfully prepared food to restore his strength.

The two of them walked around Baijia Town without interest, and the NPCs who sold things seemed to know that they couldn't buy them, so they simply ignored them, and even if the NPCs who didn't sell things were stopped or pulled by the two, they could find all kinds of excuses and then dodge them neatly, without giving them any chance to talk.

Then he saw a few children playing hide and seek in an uninhabited ancestral hall, so Lin Xi went to buy a few strings of rock sugar gourds and some buns in a flash of inspiration, and then pulled the helpless charm to catch a little girl who looked white and tender. The children's NPCs were really not heavily guarded, and they bought a little food, so they called a few other people to come together.

Although Wei Mei didn't feel sorry for the money, she was still a little crying and laughing, but it didn't hurt to think about trying, so she didn't have a cold face to scare people, but consciously flashed to the side, watching Lin Xi and those children talking rambling back and forth.

And it is also skillful to find children to talk, first to buy them with good food, then to get close to them, and finally to tell them some interesting things and some strange things to make them defenseless, and when they will unscrupulously pull her hands and sleeves and call her sister in a sweet voice, it will be almost OK.

Lin Xi has always liked children, and he is also familiar with communicating with them, and after a while, he coaxed a few children to start talking about strange things in the town.

Baijia Town is so big, naturally there are not too many strange things, after synthesizing the remarks made by several children, Lin Xi came to a conclusion that the strangest place in this town is the Qin family in the innermost part of the town.

Although the courtyard of the Qin family has been there since there was Baijia Town, a group of people have only moved in a few years ago, and every year a team of people has come to the door. And the weirdest thing is not this, but every year after this team of people immediately comes to the door, the Qin family will start to do red and white ceremonies, a year of red and a year of white things, people in the town have gone to eat and drink, but they don't know whether their family is married or mourned or something else, only know that there is delicious food and money.

And it is precisely because there is still money to be paid, so the people in Baijia Town are all in a state of ignorance when they see outsiders, first, the Qin family has entrusted them, and second, no one wants to lose a good opportunity to get money to eat and drink for nothing.

After sending the children away, Lin Xi thoughtfully walked to Wei Mei's side and said, "You heard it too, right?" Do you want to go to Qin's house to have a look? ”

Wei Mei nodded and said, "Of course they are going to go, but they will definitely be on guard, especially after seeing us appear, so they can't find anything if they go like this." ”

Indeed, they had just been in Baijia Town for so long, if the Qin family had been on guard against this, they would definitely have relented after seeing the two of them who came from an unknown source, even if they could do it without knowing it, I am afraid that it would be too late.

Lin Xi frowned depressedly: "Then what should I do?" ”

"Wait." Wei Mei didn't want to think about it, and then saw her look at it and smiled helplessly: "We were all deceived, although this is said to be an activity, but it is also a disguised task, and it is definitely not easy to complete, otherwise so many people have gone to treasure hunting and found it, so the game is not a loss?" ”

"This ...... It makes a lot of sense. As he spoke, Lin Xi suddenly rolled his eyes, and then said, "Do you think this is okay?" Let's pretend to leave first, and then sneak into the Qin family and the others in disguise, so that they will let go of their hands and feet, and we can also get the clues we want. ”

Wei Mei sighed lightly: "I think so too...... That's all there is to it. ”

And after coming out of the ancestral hall, Lin Xi realized that another reason for the ghostly sigh was that he was a snake demon clan, and if he turned into the original form, he would be a snake, and his cultivation was still not enough to form himself, and he would not have much majesty, so he would be a little embarrassed.

Sneaking a glance at his rather grim look, Lin Xi smiled even more in his heart, but he didn't show it or say anything, but no ordinary person wanted to destroy her image in front of the person she liked, and so did she. And he was already entangled enough, and no matter how much she laughed, she was afraid that she would refuse to transform.

The departure of the two was very smooth, but since they wanted to create the illusion that they had left, they naturally couldn't go quietly, but needed to make some noise to tell everyone. So Lin Xi took out the money to buy some candy people and snacks, gathered the children and distributed them together, and then pretended to be reluctant to say a parting word, wiped two tears before leaving Baijia Town with Wei Mei step by step, and slowly walked to the distant grove before flying, bothered to go around a big circle and fell in the remote and quiet back alley of the Qin family, and then quickly turned into the yard.

It's not surprising that the snake form of the ghost is not brilliant, just like an ordinary snake, after burrowing into the grass, it is completely unaware.

Lin Xi didn't dare to stay with him, but climbed up to the eaves with neat movements and walked leisurely on the roof. Surprisingly, her thousand-faced face mask is also useful, and she can also change the color of the kitten's fur to the color of the roof, as long as it doesn't make a sound, the people below can't detect it at all.

However, they had just left, and it was impossible for the Qin family to make any moves immediately, so the two of them walked around the yard as discussed, and after finding nothing wrong, they both went offline and changed their trumpets to the line.

Recently, the demand for talismans has been decreasing, and Lin Xi has not spent too much time practicing talismans, but has been rushing to level up with Wei Mei, regardless of whether he works overtime or not.

Fortunately, Yunlin made a promise, since she had promised to let her practice in the Spirit Rune Pavilion, she never thought of repenting, and seeing that she was rare again, she didn't even complain, but directly took out the things he bought for her and put them on the table, saying that the price was good, and if there was no objection, she would pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, a completely harmonious transaction.

"That's right." Putting away the silver ticket, Yun Lin suddenly remembered and said, "A few days ago, I borrowed a talisman book from the elder, do you want to see it?" ”

Lin Xi's heart jumped, and almost immediately nodded: "Of course I want to see it!" Thank you so much! ”

Yun Lin didn't react to the expected answer, so he took out a rolled-up book from his sleeve and handed it to her, saying, "There are only three days, you should read it as quickly as possible." ”

It is not difficult to borrow and repay, Lin Xi didn't say much with interest, and after nodding his head, he took the book and sat down at the table to look at it.

Yun Lin didn't stay any longer, and gently took the door up and walked downstairs without a sound.

Lin Xi didn't have the heart to care about him, this talisman collection was completely different from the talisman book he had bought in Qingyunguan before, and it was obviously impossible for ordinary players to see it. However, it is a pity that only the first few charms can be learned by high-level talismans, and the rest are all master-level and grandmaster-level talismans, and they are all in a gray state, and you can only see the name of the talisman, what it looks like and what it is for.

It is simply impossible to ascend from a senior to a master within three days.

Lin Xi sighed, and resigned himself to only focusing on the first few spells.

Fortunately, these kinds of things are more practical, and if you learn them, they are at least stronger than those of the same level, and they are more marketable.

Invisibility Charm: Only can be learned by advanced talismans, the rune paper needs to be medium or above, and after using this charm, you can get a quarter of an hour of invisibility time, which cannot be interrupted.

Healing Charm: Only can be learned by advanced talismans, the talisman paper needs to be medium or above, and after using this charm, the target can be restored to a certain amount of health, and can be used in combat.

Illusion Talisman: Only advanced talisman makers can learn, the rune paper needs to be advanced or above, and after using this spell, you can create an illusion that confuses the enemy, and the duration is indefinite.

Vajra Talisman: Only can be learned by high-level talismans, the rune paper needs to be advanced or above, and after using this talisman, the target can enter an invincible state, which will last for an indefinite time.

Frost Charm: Only can be learned by advanced talisman makers, the rune paper needs to be advanced or above, after using this charm, three to five targets in the effective range can enter a frost state, the speed is slowed by 50%, and a certain amount of health is continuously dropped.

After reading the introduction of these kinds of charms, Lin Xi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, they are all high-level talisman makers can learn, not like the Talisman Encyclopedia.

Then she took out the ink and cinnabar from her bag and put them on the table, separated the runes into three categories: low, medium, and high, and then spread out the charms in front of her eyes, and then she took out the pen and started drawing the elementary charms. She was like this every time, and she never dared to waste medium and high rune paper and cinnabar until she was fully in the state. Not to mention that this time I still have to learn a new school, and I can't just come carelessly.

This practice was a whole day, and when it was slowly dark, and she didn't remember to light the fire to make the room dark, Lin Xi stopped and lit the fire, and then sat on the other side and ate something casually. It is inevitable that the success rate of the five new charms is not very high, but fortunately, she practiced a lot in advance before entering the state, and she only needed the invisibility charm and healing charm of the medium or above rune paper to practice first, and then she waited for the success rate of these two to be high before she began to practice the other three, so she didn't waste too much.

Although Wei Mei was also practicing the trumpet of the Shushan faction, she knew that she was practicing drawing talismans at the beginning as if she was enchanted, unless it was when she was undecided, it was best not to disturb her, so she didn't come over to quarrel with her, but waited until seven o'clock in the evening when no one moved offline, and then she had to find the Spirit Rune Pavilion in person.

As he expected, Lin Xi was practicing drawing talismans wholeheartedly, and he didn't even notice that he pushed the door in. Glancing at the rune paper on the table, seeing that there was not much left, Wei Mei didn't bother to interrupt, and sat down opposite her and raised her hand to open the official website and browse casually. And his eyes are looking at the page of the official website, but in his heart he is thinking about the content that has nothing to do with the official website - she is always so wasteful that she forgets to sleep and eat, and she can't persuade her, otherwise she will find a way to change to a health warehouse that can put nutrient solution?

And this kind of thing naturally has to be Shen Qing to come forward, he must be able to say it very reasonably, so that she will not suspect that it is his handiwork.

Wei Mei thoughtfully supported her forehead, but she still had to wait for a suitable time.

The two of them were concentrating on drawing talismans, and the other looked at the official website absentmindedly, and stayed quietly until Lin Xi finished drawing all the talismans, and not only his arms, but also the back of his neck, back and waist were sore and had to stop.

After breathing a sigh of relief and stretching again, Lin Xi inadvertently saw the charm sitting opposite and silently looking at her.

After seeing him, Lin Xi didn't say anything, but subconsciously glanced at the time in reality, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he saw that it was almost eight o'clock, "I'm sorry, I forgot the time again, wait, I'll clean up and go offline." ”

She confessed her mistakes sincerely every time, and Wei Mei didn't say much about her, so the idea of changing her health warehouse became more and more firm, and then nodded and said, "Well, it's okay." ”

Because I was still thinking about the treasure hunt road activity on the tuba side, the two went downstairs to settle the dinner, and stayed and worked overtime without saying much, and anyway, now the two live together, and they are close, as long as they go back before ten o'clock.

And they really didn't guess wrong, and they also made a correct choice, this strange thing about the Qin family was really waited for by them.

When the two of them went online, it was already daylight in the game, and the sun was at noon, the sun was shining, and the breeze was blowing, which was the best weather. Baijia Town seems to be in response to the situation, and it is very lively everywhere, especially the Qin family. The originally quiet courtyard suddenly had a lot of people coming and going, not to mention that there were a lot of red lanterns hung up, and a lot of red paper couplets and window flowers were pasted, which looked joyful and more popular.

However, the most noteworthy thing is the team of horses at the door of Qin's house, the tall horses and gorgeous carriages that obviously do not belong here, and the mahogany boxes that are carried inside.

came to the horse team, and it was so lively, it is estimated that it was the time when the Qin family held an annual banquet, and this time it was obviously a happy event.

Lin Xi quietly followed the group of people who were carrying the box inside, although he could know that there would definitely not be anything they were looking for inside, but it was also good to be able to find the Qin family's treasures.

However, she was still disappointed, and the boxes were not carried to hide somewhere, but they all went away after finding a random room to unload them, leaving not even a single guard. Lin Xi unwillingly turned back into a human form, and after looking through several boxes, she made sure that there were only gold, silver, jewelry, fabrics, antique calligraphy and paintings that she couldn't pick up, so she gave up and continued to turn into a cat and return to the roof.

And after stepping on a slippery thing with her paws, she was startled, and she suddenly stepped back before realizing that it was "ghost".

The little snake stared at her silently for a while, and then said softly, "Follow me." ”

"...... "Ahem, she almost forgot that she could still speak after her transformation. Lin Xi nodded, raised his paws and followed the swaying little snake.

It was not a secret place that Wei Mei wanted to take her, but the front yard hall of the Qin family, but it was a little surprising that just now a group of people were coming and going in a hurry, and now that the group of people gathered in the courtyard to stand still, and without saying much, they all kept quiet and looked at the person standing on the steps.

That person was not blind, when he came to the Qin family to walk around before, Lin Xi learned from many people that he was the master of the Qin family.

In his thirties, he didn't have a beard and was dressed in cloth, quite like a teacher in an ancient academy.

In this case, you don't need to ask to know that there must be something terrible, maybe it has something to do with the baby they are looking for, Lin Xi obediently shrunk his head and tail beside Wei Mei, and stared down motionlessly.

The charm is better, his original form is not big, just lying on the roof is completely covered by tiles, unless the people below have sharp eyes, it is impossible to see his existence.

That Master Qin didn't talk nonsense, but glanced at everyone below with burning eyes, and then said loudly: "Everyone, this is the beginning!" ”
