The old man also said that Qiu Yuebai took the initiative to ask for the medicine before dawn, and the last time I saw her was when they caught Gao Cheng with a special electric iron cage, which means that she came up here after that. Therefore, my heart tightened, and the old man asked, "Is the medicine she used on her body also used on Gao Cheng?" ”

The old man looked at me secretly, and was not in a hurry to speak, and only when my eyebrows frowned and I couldn't suppress my anxiety did I hear him say slowly: "Discovering this person's mystery is also an accident. This place is laid out from the outside to the inside, in addition to the natural barrier, there are also artificial formations, but just ten years ago, it was actually broken in by a hairy boy. At that time, the old man had not come back here, and when I heard the news, this kid turned the world upside down, but he was finally caught. ”

Hearing this, although he knew that Gao Cheng was fine, he still held his breath tightly. The old man paused and then said: "At that time, the old man saw that his bones were strange and his physical functions were different from ordinary people, especially when his eyes turned red when the pain reached a certain level. At that time, they all thought that he was already a fish on the chopping board and could not do anything, but just when the old man wanted to do a thorough examination of him, he suddenly disappeared out of thin air. ”

I thought of the video in the USB flash drive that Xu Jianglun sent me to see, and I remember that Xu Jianglun later said that the video was found within the organization. So what the old man said at this time should be that. I don't think it's strange that Gao Cheng would disappear into thin air, since he had the ability to break in ten years ago, he could naturally escape with his mind.

It turns out that he has been here before, if it weren't for the fact that he was mentally incompletely administered by Qiu Yuebai, we wouldn't be so passive this time. Wait a minute, just now the old man said that his body functions are different from ordinary people, and his eyes turn red when the pain reaches a certain level? How can it be? Asked urgently: "Isn't it because of your medicine that his eyes turn red?" ”

The old man smiled, "You've finally found out what the problem is. The drug only helped him to stimulate his potential, and the real root of it was himself. I looked up and pointed at Qiu Yuebai, "Then why are her eyes red?" ”

"Because a tube of his blood was pumped into her body, she was able to test the medicine."

I stopped talking, glared at the old man fiercely, and while knowing that he was telling the truth, I thought of those images that seemed to be dreams. If I had drawn my own shadow and had met him between the ages of 16 and 18, and it was true, then the first time I saw him, his eyes were red. Then ten years ago, when it was after that, he had come out of the psychological shadows, regained his senses, and sealed those two years into the depths of memory. So judging from the point of time, the old man did not lie.

But I can't figure it out, although it's rare for the eyes to turn red, but it's not to the point where it's rare in a hundred years, why did the old man set Gaocheng as the goal? Thinking of this, I looked up at Qiu Yuebai again and asked, "After that, you arranged for her to approach Gao Cheng and place people next to him?" ”

The old man smiled strangely and shook his head, I was about to frown and wonder, he said, "It's not her, it's them." ”

I was stunned, and immediately understood the meaning, and looked at the old woman in surprise, and only read from her face: Sure enough. Immediately understood why Gao Cheng could secretly guard against Qiu Yuebai, with his keen ability to capture behavior and details, even twin sisters who looked exactly the same couldn't escape his eyes.

Thinking about it, it is impossible to break into the side of Gao Cheng overnight, but their sisters are suffering from that strange disease, and they will have to change once every six months to not show their flaws. I'm afraid that Gao Cheng had already noticed the clues, and he had been hiding his thoughts and pretending not to know, until that time when Qiu Yuebai faked his death in the dungeon, he secretly woke up to Luo Jinghan.

But I still didn't understand, so I asked directly: "More than a year ago in the underground city of Shida, was her fake death a scene with Xu Jianglun?" The old man shook his head again: "Since cooperating with Yan Laojiu decades ago, he is in the light, the old man is in the dark, and the several places are all managed independently, from top to bottom, all levels belong to all levels, and every line may be investigated, but any line will not affect the overall situation." It's a pity that Yan Laojiu was too impulsive, and was led to Kunlun Death Valley by a white jade Guanyin statue and never came back. ”

I roughly understand what he meant, that is, even if Xu Jianglun and Qiu Yuebai are the core personnel of this organization, they actually don't know each other's identities because of their different situations. In addition, Qiu Yuebai was from Gaocheng on the surface at that time, and Xu Jianglun was undercover in the police, so even if they were from the same place, they didn't know each other's identities.

At this point, some things are clear, and some things are still in the fog, as if ...... "What are you going to do to Takashiro?" This question has been lurking in my belly for a long time, and it is also the answer I want to get the most out of my stomach.

The old man also raised his head to look at Qiu Yuebai at this time, it should be said that he was staring at her red eyes, and excitement appeared on his face: "What do you think of bats?" I thought for a moment and replied, "Mammals." He asked, "What do you think is so special about it?" This is a good answer: "I can fly." "Bats are probably the only species of mammals that have evolved to truly fly.

But listen to the old man: "Wrong, its special thing is that it has mysterious powers. ”

Mystical powers? What do you mean?

The old man looked at me, suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Guess how old the old man is." I couldn't figure out what medicine he was selling in his gourd, but I wanted to dig out something related to Gao Cheng from his mouth, so I could only follow his words, so I looked him from top to bottom and replied, "Between seventy and eighty years old." The old man smiled and shook his head: "Guess again." ”

I frowned and asked, "Guess up or down." ”

"Up."

So he reported another number: "More than ninety?" He still shook his head, and I was secretly surprised, "It can't be more than a hundred." ”

The old man stretched out two fingers and said calmly with pride: "It's not a coincidence, I just lived for one hundred and twenty years." ”

I was really stunned and looked at him in disbelief, with only four words left in my head: How is that possible? I have heard the news that there are centenarians, but I have never heard of them when they live to be 120 years old and can still have a red face. If it weren't for his gray hair, I would have guessed that he was in his sixties, but he didn't look like a dying old man at all.

"Something to do with bats?"

The old man nodded and praised: "Sure enough, there is a huigen." The specific matters are related to the secrets of our clan for generations, and cannot be passed on, but can only tell you that there is such a mysterious power that can prolong people's lives. ”

What does that have to do with Takashiro? Could it be that he wanted to turn Gao Cheng into a bat specimen like Qiu Yuebai, and then obtain the mysterious power of the gods? Suddenly remembered what Xu Jiu told me, my heart sank, and I catalyzed into a demon! This so-called demon must have something to do with this bat ritual. And the truth is never just to increase lifespan as the old man said, there must be other purposes.

"Alright, that's all for today's puzzles. Ah Yue, take her to the next room. ”

The old woman got up from the chair when she answered, and I had to follow her out of the stone house, and when I went out, I looked back, and saw the old man walking to the window again, and I didn't know what I was looking at. The layout of the second stone house is no different from the old man's side, simple and simple at a glance, I subconsciously looked up at the top, and heard the old woman sneering in my ear: "Don't worry, no one is up here." She paused, then added, "If there is, it will only be a corpse." ”

I ignored her, swept past her, sat down in the only chair in the room, and asked, "You just watched Qiu Yuebai become like that?" She probably wouldn't have answered any other questions, but when asked about her sister, she would have been tempted to say a few words. Sure enough, the old woman replied: "She was willing to do that experiment for a man, and she can't blame anyone." Besides, it was only good for her, and when she borrowed Chu Gaocheng's blood and was successfully tested by Zhou Lao, not only could she eradicate the source of the disease in her body, but she could also maintain her youthful appearance all the time. ”

"What about you? What do you get? I never thought about why Qiu Yuebai was able to exchange blood with you a year ago, and her failure did not recur, but you failed for a year and it still did not end? ”

The old woman's face sank and she stared at me fiercely. Her eyes are almost the same as Qiu Yuebai's, including the eyes that look at people, not only cold, but the kind that hides the yin poison that makes people chill down the spine. But Moore smiled gloomily: "You don't need to provoke, even if she got the help of Zhou Lao a year ago, what will happen to the situation later?" I was not only born from the same root, but also had a spiritual connection, and I could feel what she had experienced outside even if I stayed in this valley, and if she succeeded, then my disease would have been eradicated. If there is such a way to kill two birds with one stone, why not? ”

I was silent. Just now, when I analyzed that Qiu Yuebai had another article when she exchanged blood with the old woman a year ago, I thought that the person who helped her might be the old man, otherwise how could Qiu Yuebai go back to Gao Cheng after escaping, and even in the name of rescue, he secretly drugged him and put him under house arrest. This series of behaviors is clearly done in accordance with the instructions of the old man.

However, what the old woman meant was that she had known all this for a long time, and even Qiu Yuebai's mental journey she could feel it. Then there is only one possibility, while the old man gave Qiu Yuebai a method, he also gave a promise to the old woman.

As for what promise, I don't have to think about it to know that it has something to do with this exhaustion, and the years of suffering and this year have distorted her psyche, just look at the gaffe when I inadvertently lifted the brim of her hat and showed her appearance in front of everyone, you can know how much she cares about herself. <
