Chapter 255: Waiting for the Rabbit
After listening to the words of the palace lord, we were taken aback, and the palace lord hurriedly closed the window, and there was a thin gap in the middle of the closed window, and we found transparent slime on the gap.
"What is this?" Xue Xinrou buried her head and picked up something at the edge of the gap.
We gathered around to see that it was a transparent wing as thin as a cicada's wing, which should have been left by some bug.
"You don't mean to say that it's the worms that kill the slaughter, right?" Tian Ji asked with a frown.
"How can bugs kill?" Xue Xinrou looked dazed.
"Usually bugs don't, but this one does." The palace lord picked up a worm with broken wings from under the windowsill.
It was a finger-sized bright brown reptile, with a long and flattened body, two slender antennae in front of its head, a flexible abdomen, curved tail pincers at the end, and a pair of folded wings on its back, which looked like an ordinary insect.
But when I took a look at it with Tian Ji, I was suddenly silent.
"Ear clip worm!" Tian Ji was dumbfounded and said.
We have seen this insect before, on the way to the Temple of the Ancestral God, we were attacked by the ear clip worm, this is a strange worm, I remember the general told us, this is a kind of Gu poison, called the Three Corpse Gu.
It is said that the three corpse Gu will drill through the ears, and then cut off the cranial nerves in an instant, so that the prey cannot feel that it is threatened, and at the same time sucking the brain, it lays thousands of eggs in the prey's head, and feeds on the prey's big brain.
The Three Corpse Gu is something used by the Jiuli Clan to guard the ancestral tombs, but with the demise of the Jiuli Clan, this kind of Gu thing has also disappeared.
"How could Jiuli's Three Corpse Gu appear here and kill Tu Shuang?" I turned to look at the corpse still hanging from the beam.
"Since it's a Gu thing, it means that someone is raising, and someone is taking advantage of the gap in the window to drive the three corpse Gu to control Tu Shuang first." Gong Jue pushed back open the window and pointed outside. "The following is the Ba River, the controlled Tu Shuang threw the ebony qin and the long flute into the river, and the person who manipulated the Gu poison got these two things in the river, and then Tu Shuang closed the window again, was controlled to hang himself, and finally the three corpse Gu left through the gap, so that he was unaware, causing the illusion of Tu Shuang's suicide."
"Who, who will control the three corpse Gu?" Tian Ji looked frightened.
"I don't know who raised the Three Corpse Gu, but there is one person who is obviously not afraid of these things." The palace lord's face was shocked.
"Who?"
"Wen Ru!"
I chuckled in my heart, and then I remembered that when we went to the Temple of the Ancestral God, we were attacked by three corpse Gu, this Gu thing was afraid of water, we escaped by hiding in the water, but afterwards we accidentally found that Wen Ru was hiding, there was no water there, and there were traces of three corpse Gu crawling all around, but Wen Ru actually survived unharmed.
"Wen Ru was able to survive because he could control the Three Corpse Gu!" The palace lord said to us in a deep voice. "Zhiqiu is following Wen Ru to Guanzhong, and the reason why Wen Ru killed Tu Shuang is obvious."
Wen Ru went to the Fusu Tomb first after arriving in Guanzhong, he should have discovered something, the Fusu Tomb hides the secret of the Qingqiu Jade Ruins, but Wen Ru has obviously been investigating the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities in Jiangxi, why did he suddenly go to Guanzhong to investigate the Fusu Tomb?
"Wen Ru has been studying the religious history of Miaojiang, he seems to have a good understanding of Jiuli culture and its understanding, and the clues to the discovery of the Twin Cities of the Demon Kingdom in Jiangxi should be extremely important to Wen Ru, but why did he suddenly come to Guanzhong?" I walked back and forth a few steps and pondered.
"Zhiqiu, in a photograph taken from the priest's tomb, found a dragon ornament with a thunder pattern, which was prevalent in the early Zhou Dynasty and later declined until the Qin Dynasty was reactivated." Xue Xinrou lowered her head and thought about it. "This shows that the craftsmanship of the Qin Dynasty appeared in the Twin Cities of the Demon Kingdom."
I nodded, after discovering the priest's tomb in Jiangxi, Ye Zhiqiu was extremely confused, from the photos taken, he found that the architectural characteristics of the Demon Kingdom were very unusual, except that everything was completely symmetrical in size, the construction of the Demon Kingdom was in the form of a mass, and the symmetrical combination of cross axes was taken, with a huge scale and a prominent image.
This is completely the style of the Qin Dynasty architecture, Ye Zhiqiu speculated through the murals that the real Demon Kingdom Twin Cities were built underground, and the area is immeasurable, comparable to the scale of the Vientiane Divine Palace, but in the Western Jin Dynasty, there were less than 10,000 Jiuli ancestors in Jiangxi, and the distribution was quite scattered, and the Jiuli ancestors were not capable of building the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities!
This discovery overturned the time of the Demon Kingdom building, and the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities were not built in the Western Jin Dynasty, but they were only known to the Jiuli people in the Western Jin Dynasty.
It didn't take long for Wen Ru to leave Jiangxi and come to Guanzhong, he first went to the Fusu Tomb in Shuzhi Mountain, and later entered the real Fusu Tomb through Hua Xishuang, but the brick and stone patterns that Ye Zhiqiu found in the Fusu Tomb were exactly the same as the Goulei dragon ornament in the Demon Kingdom.
"If the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities were built in the Qin Dynasty, only Emperor Qin could complete such a huge project, and from the perspective of time, the construction time of the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities was exactly the same as the Qingqiu Jade Ruins...... "I slowly opened my mouth and was stunned for a long time." Could it be that the Demon Kingdom Twin Cities are the Qingqiu Jade Ruins we have been looking for! ”
"There is really this possibility, Wen Ru has also been mixed in the archaeological community for decades, presumably seeing the clues of the priest's tomb, he knows that the origin of the demon kingdom is not simple, so he will track it down to Guanzhong, I remember Zhiqiu said, Wen Ru went directly to the Fusu tomb after arriving in Guanzhong, it can be seen that Wen Ru seems to know something about Qingqiu Yuxu." Gong Jue said.
"Wen Ru has been to the real Fusu Tomb, Zhiqiu can find the same ornaments as the Demon Kingdom, Wen Ru naturally will not ignore it, Wen Ru must have proved through these clues that the Demon Kingdom is actually Qingqiu Jade Ruins." Tian Ji buried his head in thinking for a long time and said. "Wen Ru has no harvest in the tomb, he will definitely trace the whereabouts of the things in the tomb, and he must finally find Tu Shuang."
"Then this matter is simple, since you know who did it, go directly to this person named Wen Ru." Xue Xinrou said.
"Wen Ru is an old fox, we can't help him without evidence, since we know that Wen Ru is in the hands, we can't be anxious for a while." Gong Jue shook his head and said.
"So what now?" Tian Ji was anxious.
"Wen Ru got the ebony qin and the long flute, since this person can become a champion in the archaeological world, not a wasted person, Wen Ru will soon find that the two things he got are not enough to help him find the Qingqiu Jade Ruins." Gong Jue said unhurriedly. "Speaking of viciousness, Wen Ru and Tu Shuang are the same dog, he can kill Tu Shuang in order to find the Qingqiu Jade Ruins, and sooner or later he will attack us."
"Gong Jue is right, it's not the first time we've dealt with Wen Ru, it seems that this time there should always be an understanding, instead of going to Wen Ru, it's better to brake quietly and wait for him to come to us, only in this way can we catch the tail of this old fox." I say.
"Wait ......" Tian Ji was stunned, and looked at the three corpse Gu in the hands of the palace lord with palpitations. The person surnamed Wen would actually do these evil ways crookedly, if he drove the three corpse Gu to kill us, how scary this thing is, we have seen it with our own eyes, can we just wait without doing anything? ”
"Oops!" Xue Xinrou was suddenly startled. "The Wen Ru you are talking about is so cruel, we let Zhiqiu return to Jiangxi alone, this is undoubtedly sending sheep into the tiger's mouth."
"Don't worry about this, you don't need a hammer to sound the drum, the last time the shopkeeper Ye had already reminded Wen Ru, Zhiqiu was safe to follow Wen Ru, forgive him for not having the courage to let Zhiqiu have three strengths and two weaknesses." Gong Jue said.
I looked out the window a little distracted, and Tian Ji patted me on the shoulder and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
"Wen Ru attacked Tu Shuang, which shows that Wen Ru knows that the key to the whereabouts of Qingqiu Jade Ruins is in these clues, he killed Tu Shuang last night, but why didn't he do anything to us?" I muttered to myself in confusion.
"That's right, since Wen Ru has murderous intentions, and when he was in Aoki River, he can blow up the altar quietly, it can be seen how vicious this person is, he will definitely not be merciful, since he can kill Tu Shuang, why don't you kill us?" Tian Ji looked dazed.
"Speaking of which, Wen Ru's motives and purposes have always been very strange to me, he knows a lot about the Moon Palace Nine Nine Dragons and the Twelve Ancestral Gods, but his origin is confusing." I say.
"Could Wen Ru be the eye of the earth?" Gong Jue said.
"Wen Ru can't be the eye of the earth, if Hua Xishuang is the salty pond in the eyes of the ground, everything we encountered in the pass was caused by Hua Xishuang, it can be seen that Hua Xishuang hopes that we will find the Qingqiu Jade Ruins, if Wen Ru is also the eye of the earth, he has no reason to destroy Hua Xishuang's plan." I shook my head and said.
"Didn't you say before that there are two undercurrents around us, since Wen Ru is not the eye of the earth, then he should belong to the other one." Xue Xinrou said.
"It's not quite the same, although these two undercurrents are different, but the purpose is the same for the time being, which is to guide us to touch the real core truth, Wen Ru killed Tu Shuang, which undoubtedly undermined the purpose of these two undercurrents." I rubbed my forehead and sighed. "Wen Ru seems to be the third undercurrent, but what his purpose is, I really can't figure it out for a while."
When we returned to Ying's house, we were only one step away from the Qingqiu Jade Ruins, but now the only thing we could do was to wait aimlessly for Wen Ru to appear.
Wen Ru has already obtained the ebony qin and the long flute, presumably he will soon realize what is missing, it should not be long, he will take the initiative to come to us, after Ying Yuan learned the truth, he sent additional people around Ying's house just in case.
On the morning of the third day, I heard someone knock on the door, and when I opened the door, I saw Jiang Wufu standing at the door with a cloth bag.
"Shopkeeper Gu, someone sent it to the door of Ying's house early this morning, with Shopkeeper Gu's name written on it." Jiang Wufu handed the cloth bag to me.
I opened the cloth bag with some surprise, it contained a fishing rod that was broken in two, I was stunned for a moment, I didn't react for a long time, who would send me this early in the morning, when I broke the fishing rod where everything coincided, suddenly shocked to remember.
I have seen this fishing rod, and it was broken by me, when I first saw Zhuo Mingfeng, he took this fishing rod and gave this to me, with the obvious intention, let me go to the place where I once saw this fishing rod.
