Chapter Seventy-Six: The Secret of the Mask (I)
"Have you ever heard of Nightmare Flower?" Chance Sinian said a digression without warning.
Tang Qianlin and the others, who were originally staring at the centipede mask, were stunned when they heard this.
Qian Sinian glanced at everyone's faces and observed their expressions: "Look, you don't know? ”
Ni Xiaowan said first: "I've heard of it." ”
Tang Qianlin also nodded and said, "I just heard about it." ”
Yi Mochen was not in a hurry to speak, he just listened quietly, and his eyes fell on the jelly beans who were sleeping on one side.
Qian Sinian said: "In the past hundred years, there have been people who have come to investigate the truth of the Nightmare Flower outside the Guan, but they have all returned in vain. ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Yes, and it is missing, and it has not left any useful clues, is there a connection between the nightmare flower you said and what we are going to do next?" ”
"When I left with a mask, I was ordered to act, not only by that person's order, but also by Kyoji Miyake." Qian Sinian picked up the centipede mask, "That's because I'm worried that the mask will fall into Xuanbu's hands, and that person also needs to use the mask to determine if it's really related to Nightmare Flower." ”
That person? Who the hell is that person? The hearts of the people were full of doubts.
Tang Qianlin said: "So, that person already knew that the mask was in the Seven Star Cave, and your task was actually to find that mask?" Moreover, that person also knows how to unlock the secrets on the mask? ”
Qian Sinian nodded silently.
Tang Qianlin looked at Qian Sinian and smiled, and everyone looked at him suspiciously, not knowing why he was laughing.
Tang Qianlin said: "I know the identity of this person. ”
Qian Sinian smiled: "Impossible. ”
Tang Qianlin took the mask and said, "Although I don't know who he really is, I can be sure that he is a member of the lone army, and only the lone army can know that there is a centipede mask in the Seven Star Cave, and also know the way to untie it." He can't be a demon or a thousand corpses, if he is a person from these two organizations, he doesn't need to work so hard at all, they have far more information and clues than us and the lonely army. ”
When Tang Qianlin talked about being alone, Yi Mochen's heart sank, and Xia Shuang's appearance immediately appeared in his mind.
Could it be her? Or is it the person behind her? But at this time, he couldn't tell Tang Qianlin his questions, he didn't want to expose Xia Shuang's identity in front of Qian Sinian.
Chance just kept smiling, noncommittal or noncommittal.
Tang Qianlin said again: "It seems that you are very loyal to your master." ”
"I have to correct you, that person is not my master, we are just partners. At the same time, I have to warn you that it won't do anything if you provoke me in this way. Qian Sinian said calmly, looking at the mask in Tang Qianlin's hand, "You once planned to exchange that person's name by uncovering the mask, before you say your plan, you should think about the child who hid in Yi Mochen's house, I told him in my report to General Miyake that the child is dead, if you want to play tricks, I will hand over that child, and when the time comes, his fate will be the same as Feng Zhenyuan." ”
Qian Sinian suddenly changed, which made Tang Qianlin and Li Yunfan extremely surprised, even Yi Mochen felt a little strange, Ni Xiaowan also knew that Qian Sinian in the Seven Star Cave and now are completely two people.
Could it be that Qian Sinian once ate that kind of blood moss, which caused him to change? Or what did the Japanese do to him?
Qian Sinian and that man now held the lifeblood of all of them, and if anything went wrong during this period, then Xia Shuang and Tang Yushi, who were far away in Harbin, would die as a result.
"Get a flashlight." After Tang Qianlin finished speaking, Qian Sinian turned around and took out the flashlight from the cabinet.
Tang Qianlin placed the mask facing down on the table and shone a flashlight on the mask.
When the flashlight shines on the mask, the mask immediately reflects a burst of strong light, which is reflected on the top of the carriage, reflecting a strange picture. It was a map with a river that looked like the outline of a human ear, surrounded by a line of mountains, and at the lower right end of the river, there was a symbol of a three-petaled flower.
"Nightmare Flower?" Yi Mochen blurted out, and everyone looked at him.
Tang Qianlin said: "This is the Nightmare Flower? ”
Yi Mochen nodded silently and didn't explain anything.
Qian Sinian looked up at the map and asked, "Boss Yi, you are a foreign businessman, and you are very familiar with the geography of the Northeast, do you know where this is?" ”
Yi Mochen looked at Tang Qianlin, and after Tang Qianlin nodded, Yi Mochen replied: "It should be Jingpo Lake in the Mudanjiang area." ”
Qian Sinian turned around and took the map and spread it on the table: "We can take the Binzhou line back to Harbin first, and then take the Binsui line from Harbin to Mudanjiang after two days of correction, and then from the Tujia line to Langang Station, Langang Station is the closest to Jingpo Lake, I estimated, if we take the car first, and then walk, it will only take a day to reach the location marked on the map." ”
Yi Mochen thought for a while and said: "This season, it is the time when the snow is clear, and it is very difficult for the car to drive in the mud, and it will take two days no matter what. ”
Qian Sinian put away the map: "Two days is two days, we have enough time, let's go back to Harbin to rest first, and you can also take the opportunity to rest for another day." ”
Rest, rest, these words still sound like a trap to Tang Qianlin's ears.
Be cautious, be careful, be cautious, be careful. Tang Qianlin's mind was full of these, he couldn't make any more mistakes, he had to find out who that lone soldier was? This man knew so well what they were doing, he must have been very close to them, maybe close at hand.
Could it be He Chenxue? Tang Qianlin regretted a little that he didn't ask Ma Yanqing about He Chenxue's identity when he was alive.
In addition, in addition to Li Yunfan, the identities of Yi Mochen and Ni Xiaowan are questionable.
Yi Mochen may be acting with Xia Shuang, and Ni Xiaowan may not be the real Ni Xiaowan, because of the existence of heart control techniques, it is not difficult to dig out a person's memories.
What made Tang Qianlin suspect the most was Ni Xiaowan's disguise technique, her disguise technique was so powerful that it even surpassed his senior brother, is this possible?
Or are you being too careful?
A day later, the secret search class returned to Harbin, and after everyone got off the bus and separated from Qian Sinian, they were surprised to find that no one was following them, and at the same time, Yi Mochen's long-term surveillance outside his home was also canceled.
However, when Xia Shuang told them that Ma Yanqing's subordinates had tried to kidnap Tang Yu and were defeated by her, everyone believed that this woman's ability exceeded their expectations, and maybe this woman's skills were not under Li Yunfan's.
Tang Qianlin realized that it seemed that he had thought about everything too simply from the beginning.
You have to start over, adjust your state, and not let go of any detail around you.
After carefully searching Yi Mochen's home several times separately and making sure that there were no eavesdropping devices, everyone gathered in Yi Mochen's study to discuss the next move.
The complete defeat encountered in the burial place surprised Xia Shuang.
Tang Qianlin said: "Xia Shuang, I can be sure that the person who is behind the scenes is a member of your lone army, since we believe in you and have a common goal, I hope you can be honest with each other." ”
Yi Mochen sat on one side, staring coldly at the woman he had loved for so many years, although he was angry, confused, and suspicious, he knew very well that he couldn't let go of his feelings for this woman.
Just like Tang Qianlin, although she resented He Chenxue, she also left a place in her heart that only belonged to her.
At this time, Tang Qianlin's ears sounded again the words of Chu Lekang before his death - Qinglong Temple is a trap.
Yes, a trap from beginning to end, and this trap is constantly expanding, trying to wrap him in it forever.
Xia Shuang replied: "I only know my mission, I have already told you everything I need to know, I swear what I said is true." ”
Yi Mochen frowned and said, "Your oath is not worth much. ”
Tang Qianlin said, "I believe in her." ”
Yi Mochen stopped talking, Li Yunfan just frowned and looked at Xia Shuang, and finally his brows expanded, leaning to the side and no longer speaking.
Ni Xiaowan didn't know whether to believe in this woman, but as a woman, she could feel that Xia Shuang's feelings for Yi Mochen were real, although this real emotion was also artificially created.
There are indeed many unexplained things in this world, and the relationship between men and women is also an unsolved mystery for some people.
Tang Qianlin asked Xia Shuang: "Didn't you say that Yang Shiwen had reported the clues to the lonely army, and you deduced two important locations from the news that was passed back?" Which two? ”
Xia Shuang said: "The first clue is a myth and legend, which is about the goddess's divine mirror, and later we checked, this is the legend of Jingpo Lake in Mudanjiang, so we speculate that it should be in Jingpo Lake." ”
Sure enough, it was Jingpo Lake, Tang Qianlin nodded silently.
Yi Mochen asked, "What about the second one?" ”
Xia Shuang looked at Yi Mochen and said, "It's Zhanmenghua." ”
Tang Qianlin said strangely: "Zhanmenghua? ”
Ni Xiaowan said: "Uncle Shi, the dream flower is a nightmare flower, but the saying is different." ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "Why are there two names?" ”
When Ni Xiaowan was about to explain, Yi Mochen said on the side: "The legend of the dream flower, when it began, no one can say, in short, it has been passed down for hundreds of years, at first it was said that you can use this kind of words to divinate people's dreams to judge the current fortune and the future good or bad, and later I thought that as long as you have this kind of flower, you can let the soul get out of the body, and you can also fulfill any of your wishes." ”
Tang Qianlin shook his head and said, "It's another trick to deceive people." ”
Li Yunfan was silent, Yi Mochen looked at Tang Qianlin and said, "After experiencing the Seven Star Cave and the burial bone land, do you still think that everything is a deception?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "I still say the same thing, I believe that there are unexplainable things happening, but the things we have experienced cannot be explained by strange forces, this kind of so-called treasure that can realize people's wishes, we have seen a lot of it before, and finally decided that it is just a scam." ”
However, Tang Qianlin also knew that the matter of dream telling was indeed magical, and there was a mysterious dream telling technique in the different ways.
Dream divination has a long history in China, as early as ancient times, after the ancestors had the concept of the soul, they believed that dreaming was the soul traveling out of the body, and the soul traveling was instructed by ghosts and gods. Therefore, dreams are attributed to the revelation of ghosts and gods to the dreamer, so that they can divinate the evil fortune according to the manifestation of the dream, that is, the dream image perceives the divine will.
