Ding Qin left Si and walked over the wall for a while, only to feel a faint feeling of swelling in his head. He was sure that this was the result of the ten thousand words that had thought about the book.

Along the way, he made a special observation of the people who set up stalls on the street. Almost everyone has a desireless expression, most of them are a little lazy lying behind the counter to rest. Ding Qin's clothes can obviously be seen that he is not from this city, but almost none of these people beckoned Ding Qin to buy anything.

When he came, he just felt that this was the peaceful side of the city, and that people didn't need to worry about their livelihood and were not keen on money. Now, Ding Qin feels that this may be the effect of this book of ten thousand words.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he immediately summoned Song Renqing, Mo Hafei and others to enter his house and close the door, "Everyone listen to me." After a while, it will be conveyed immediately, and no one is allowed to think about it privately. If anyone has already been there, bring it to me right away. ”

Mo Hafei could see Ding Qin's caution and seriousness, "This ...... Why? Is there something strange there?"

Ding Qin nodded, "That's right." Just now, I met with Qu Cong. The origin of this Qu Cong, I will no longer hide it from you here. He is the scum of the Fire Clan, and he is also the culprit who slaughtered Honggu City, where Mao Nai was born. ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked. Song Renqing even said, "Then aren't we in the tiger's mouth again." ”

Ding Qin said, "However, he is now trying his best to cover it up, disguising himself as a person who sees through life." In a short time, he will not take any special actions against us. But, do you know why he asked everyone who left Siguo City to go to the Siguo Wall?"

Ding Qin paused, "It's not to enlighten life. Rather, it is the book of ten thousand words on the wall, which itself hides a special formula, and once people read it, they may cause their minds to be controlled, and then stay in this so-called Siguo City. This is the terrible place of Siguo and Qu Cong. ”

He exhaled slowly, "Pretending to be a righteous gentleman and enlightening the future of others, in fact, he is secretly insidious and cunning, and he is doing indiscriminate things. ”

Mo Hafei thought for a moment and asked, "Are you sure?"

Ding Qin nodded, "It's true." Today, if it weren't for the special exercises I cultivated, I might have been confused by him. Be sure to inform everyone, and never think about it. In addition, when we are leaving, if we have to look at the book of ten thousand words on the wall, no one can really look at it, just pretend. Especially those words that are not too stretched out, you must not read more. ”

Mo Hafei muttered, "It's the first time I've heard of such an exercise. ”

From his tone and expression, Ding Qin could see that he was eager to try. In case of accidents, Ding Qin immediately said, "Everyone must believe me." No matter how curious you are, you must not try. No one else is allowed to try it. If you want to experience it, when you leave Siguocheng, I'll see if I can do it. ”

Song Renqing was the first to say, "Okay, please rest assured, captain." None of my men will act rashly. ”

Ding Qin turned his gaze to Mo Hafei, "Senior, the Ailan tribe is different from Song Renqing's team, there are men, women and children, and there may be a lot of self-control that will be relatively poor. At this point, I hope that the seniors will bother more. ”

Mo Hafei also nodded, "Okay, don't worry." I will try my best to fulfill your request. ”

Ding Qin looked at Cheng Ying and Mo Yin again, "You two, have you found anything?" I know that you two have been secretly scouting Siguo City. From now on, your reconnaissance will cease. This city of thought is more complicated than we imagined. ”

"The people in the city are weird. Especially those guards, their movements are completely uniform, but obviously, they are not even uniform, and it is impossible for them to have such strict discipline and training. ”

Ding Qin said, "Hmm." This may have something to do with the fact that they are all controlled by Qu Cong. What about you?"

He turned his head to become a warbler.

Cheng Ying took out a small cloth bag from her body, "I focused on investigating how they drove away the 10,000-year-old snow beast. This is an unburned sample of the rocket I took. After analyzing it, I discovered the mystery. ”

She opened the cloth bag and pointed to an unburned green powder inside, "The main component of the rocket, and the part that can play the most, is this powder. Maybe you didn't guess what it is. ”

Ding Qin carefully distinguished, took it to his nose and sniffed it, and even put it in his mouth to taste it. This stuff has a weedy flavor and is non-toxic. "What is it?"

"Wormwood. Cheng Ying said, "It is the wormwood that is inserted in the willows during the Qingming Festival and the wormwood in the Dragon Boat Festival." This thing, when the Dragon Boat Festival comes, is a kind of folk custom, almost every family is sprinkling and sweeping the court, with calamus, moxa sticks inserted in the door eyebrows, hanging in the hall. As for the effect, one is to prevent mosquitoes, and the other is said to have the effect of warding off evil spirits and ghosts. ”

She smiled herself, "Of course, the so-called exorcism of evil spirits may be an exaggeration. In addition, people will use calamus, mugwort leaves, pomegranate flowers, garlic, dragon boat flowers, to make human or tiger shapes, called Ai people, Ai Hu, to make garlands, ornaments, beautiful and fragrant, women compete to wear, to drive away miasma. There is a saying about driving away miasma. Everything that is not good can be called miasma. Therefore, wormwood's repellent effect on insects and beasts must exist. ”

"This reminds us that driving away the 10,000-year-old snow beast may not be that this Qu Cong has any special ability. Perhaps where did he learn the unique recipe of wormwood to repel wild beasts, and then he happened to encounter the 10,000-year-old snow beast, and then established a tall and mighty image in people's minds. After Cheng Ying finished speaking, she looked at Ding Qin, as if waiting for Ding Qin's response.

Ding Qin thought for a moment and said, "I probably know how he learned this trick." Fire Resistant. Back then, Qu Cong had obtained many special methods from within the Fire Fighting Clan, even including the refining method of the Human Brain Rejuvenation Pill. This method of burning wormwood and other objects to ward off wild beasts by burning them is most likely within the scope of these special methods. ”

Cheng Ying thought thoughtfully, "In this way, it makes sense." It's just that I can only analyze the main raw material of wormwood, and some other auxiliary materials are relatively complex and I can't distinguish them. ”

Ding Qin said, "It's okay. Everyone should immediately relay my message to the others. So, tomorrow, I will go to see Qu Cong again and bring up the matter of the city. If possible, I try to get people out of the city without looking at it. If it doesn't work, you can pretend to be like it, and I'll try to crack it again. ”

The crowd responded. After they left, Ding Qin sat alone and thought for a long time.

Early the next morning, he went to Qu Cong's residence again. Qu Cong got up very early, and when he saw Ding Qin coming over, he smiled at him, "Ding Gongzi is in good spirits." ”

Ding Qin got straight to the point, "Yesterday, I read part of the book of ten thousand words, and when I went back, I felt that the aftertaste was not finished, and I couldn't sleep well." I want to go and see it again today, so I specially reported it to the city lord. ”

Qu Cong smiled, "Thinking about the wall is a public thing, and the son can go if he wants to, so you don't have to look for me." But Childe came here on purpose, just afraid that there was something else, right?"

Ding Qin also laughed, "The city lord is insightful. Actually, I'm coming, and there's one more thing. Our people have recovered from the horror of that night, and they want to go north out of the city because they still have important business. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Qu Cong's eyes. Still, he didn't refuse, "Well, normal, normal." But I also said that according to the convention, those who leave still have to go to see the wall. ”

Ding Qin said, "I'll organize them to go." When the time comes, if we leave, we will no longer say goodbye to the city lord. ”

Qu Cong waved his hand, "No, no." After that, you're good to go. ”

Ding Qin nodded, bowed to Qu Cong, turned around and left. After he left for a while, Qu Cong took a deep breath, turned to the courtyard three houses away from his residence, and called a guard, "Go, pass my order, and send someone to monitor near the Siguo wall." In addition, the north gate should also be closely monitored. However, if Ding Qin and his people want to go out of the city, there is no need to intercept them. Tell the Einsatzgruppen to get ready, all disguised as bandits, and ambush at Siguopo, fifteen miles outside the north gate. If there is a situation, use the green fireworks as a signal, and those who pass by will be killed. ”

After the order, he returned to his cabinet, but his face was not as comfortable as it was, and it was obviously a little anxious and uneasy.

Ding Qin returned to the courtyard and immediately organized people to prepare for evacuation. Due to some preparation in advance, most people can set off directly with their luggage, and only those who are old, weak, sick and disabled can set off. After a while, the two teams, under the leadership of Ding Qin, walked towards the wall of Si Guo.

Thinking about it under the wall, Ding Qin made a reading appearance, pacing and walking from time to time, with a kind of comprehension and thinking. In fact, he did this just to observe the crowd and distract them if he noticed anyone who was really watching.

Ten minutes later, Ding Qin organized people to set off again, heading directly towards the north gate of Siguo City.

And the news of his and the team's departure was also reported to Qu Cong at the same time.

Qu Cong got up from his recliner and frowned and smiled, "Sure enough, it's the same as I expected." This Ding Qin is an outlier. ”

After saying that, he took out a firework, lit it, and rushed into the sky with a "whoosh", exploding a green flower.

After that, Qu Cong went to his inner room and took out a set of soft armor and put it inside his coat. His gaze was devoid of his former charity, replaced by a sinister and cold.

He's going to think about it.

He had seen Ding Qin's battle that day. He also knew that if Ding Qin led the team out, those guards would have no chance of winning at all. In this thinking city, only himself has the strength to fight with Ding Qin.

Since you cannot serve me, then I will destroy you.

With this thought, he had just left the house and had not left the counter yet, but found that Ding Qin was coming. All kinds of accidents came to his heart, and Qu Cong couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here?"

Ding Qin took a deep breath, "I decided to stay first." I think it's the right choice. ”

Qu Cong's eyes couldn't help but burst with joy, "Do you also think that my book of ten thousand words is full of the true meaning of life?"
