The night was dark, and there was silence everywhere, except for the sound of the breeze blowing in my ears. Qin Qi sat on the roof of the treehouse and was staring ahead, in front of him was an endless sea of trees, March had fallen into the air, flush in a line, and the miserable white moonlight floated in the air, like an aurora.

Qin Qi still had a cold expression on his face, but there was a suffocating cramping cramp in his heart. No one knew that he was thinking about Luo Zhilan, and no one understood how strong the loneliness in his heart was, especially when the three moons in the night sky appeared in front of him again and again.

He broke the only clue on the spur of the moment today, and the death of the bald head made the dagger in his hand meaningless. Although Tans attributed all the credit for the rescue to his own name, Qin Qi didn't care at all, he didn't have any love for this honor, he just needed to get rid of all the evils in front of him.

The excessive blood of today made it impossible for him to recover from a bloodthirsty state of fighting, and he pressed his trembling right hand hard to suppress his desire to fight, but the psychology of getting pleasure from killing poured into his mind like a spring, and he could not control it.

"Are you okay?" A soft voice suddenly sounded behind him. As soon as Qin Qi turned around, he found Lingyue standing behind him, and under the moonlight, a white long dress reflected Lingyue, like a fairy descending to earth.

Qin Qi put his right hand on his chest and beckoned to her, smiling with a smile on his face.

"It's nothing, it's just a little tired, there are too many things going on today."

"Then why don't you go to sleep yet," Lingyue whispered beside Qin Qi while talking to Qin Qi, she was a little apprehensive in her heart, hoping that her action would not be too obvious. "Do you think the bed isn't comfortable enough?"

"No, no, I think it's good," Qin Qi waved his hand, "I'm just a little sleepy." Come up and look at the moon, it's a good place. ”

"Really?" Lingyue's eyes lit up, as if she had found some treasure. "I also like to see the scenery here, this place has a panoramic view of the woods."

As she spoke, Lingyue pointed to the woods in the distance. At this time, she noticed Qin Qi's trembling right hand.

"What happened to your right hand?" Lingyue said in a low voice.

Qin Qi looked down at his hand for a while, and said with a smile: "I used too much sword today, my hand is a little shaky, and it will be fine after a while." ”

"Give me your hand." As she spoke, Lingyue spread out the palm of her right hand and stretched it out. Qin Qi looked at Ling Yue's eyes, a little puzzled. Still, he honestly handed over his right hand.

It could be seen that Ling Yue was still a little nervous when she held Qin Qi's hand, she took a deep breath, put her other palm on it, and secretly said a few words, Qin Qi instantly felt a chill seep into his right hand, and the tense nerves in his hand naturally relaxed one by one, and after a while, the trembling stopped.

"Eh, this method is really good," Qin Qi shook his right hand, his face was full of smiles, and the distress just now was forgotten, "You can teach me, and I won't have to be afraid of hand tremors in the future." ”

"No~" Lingyue blinked, "I invented it myself." If your hands are shaking again, come and ask me how I feel. ”

"Hmm~" Qin Qi looked at Ling Yue, and soon his gaze focused on Ling Yue's eyes again. Qin Qi couldn't explain why he always stared at Ling Yue's eyes, those eyes that were as clear as spring water gave him a very peaceful feeling, forgetting all his troubles.

"What's wrong with you?" Lingyue was a little embarrassed by Qin Qi's eyes, and lowered her head shyly.

"Can I lie down next to you and look you in the eye?"

"Huh?" Ling Yue was a little surprised by Qin Qi's request.

"I don't know why, but I feel so comfortable seeing your eyes." As he spoke, Qin Qi slowly lay down beside Ling Yue, his eyes and Ling Yue looking at each other. Lingyue didn't refuse Qin Qi, she didn't know why, she didn't feel unaccustomed, and she didn't want to break this tranquility. The two of them stayed quietly on the rooftop.

The morning light is mild, but for people who sleep facing the sky, it is a bit harsh. When Qin Qi woke up from his sleep, he found that he had been on the roof of the tree house all night, and Lingyue was reluctant to say goodbye to Zhou Gong on the side. Sleeping out all night and with a girl he didn't know very well was indeed a bit rebellious for Qin Qi. He quietly walked to the bottom of the building while Lingyue hadn't woken up yet, and without even saying hello to Bethleto, he hurriedly ran to patrol the town.

For several days, nothing happened in the town of Long Lake, which was under the control of the border guards, and people were full of people singing about the heroic deeds of Tans how he repelled the robbers and took off the heads of the robbers. Although Qin Qi knew the truth, he didn't fight for himself, in his opinion, if this honor could make Tans less troublesome for him, then it would be even.

Taking advantage of this free time, Qin Qi visited the entire town of Changhu, and he found that Changhu Town was not a town built from the wilderness as he had thought before, but on the contrary, it was most likely established from the ruins of another city. During his patrols in the past few days, he found a lot of remains of old buildings, such as bridge piers, walls, statues, etc., all of which have common characteristics, the style is very different from the various buildings in Long Lake Town, and the scale is huge, which can be compared to the sewers under the secret passages of government buildings. The locals call these ruins the mark of the gods.

Of course, Qin Qi would not believe that this was the mark of the gods, he thought at first that it was caused by the war twenty years ago, but when he listened to the old people talk about these ruins, he found that the ruins existed before the war, and the time may be even earlier.

Qin Qi heard those old people say that the ruins had already been recorded in the ancient handscroll of the library. It's a pity that the handscroll is not something that ordinary people can read, and as a border guard, he doesn't have the right to look at such a high-level thing, fortunately, the director of the library is a guy who is easy to talk to, Qin Qi is close to him when he has time, and usually uses his salary to buy him some roast mutton beer and the like, after a period of "investment", Qin Qi finally got a return.

The hand-rolled cloth is made of cloth, and due to the long period of time, the cloth has aged and hardened, and the cloth immediately cracked when the hand-rolled was spread. Qin Qi complained about the stupid way people kept the handscroll while carefully flipping through the handscroll, and after a while, he noticed an important passage:

"The seal of the gods was originally a whole in Changhu Town, and the people of the Black Stone Staff Society dismantled this whole, and most of the main body was transported back to the Fashi Kingdom, and only a few remained in Changhu Town."

"It's the Blackstone Staff Society again!" Qin Qi couldn't help but sigh. He found that any problem had anything to do with the Blackstone Staff, and that in order to understand this place, he had to know about the Blackstone Staff. The Blackstone Staff Society seems to have a strong influence. With this thought, Qin Qi continued to look down, and another passage came into his eyes:

"The Bearers of the Mark of the Gods have left their tribe's totems in the town of Long Lake so that future generations can come and retrieve the priceless treasures they have buried in the town."

This passage is followed by a hand-drawn marker, which is a circle with an equilateral triangle drawn inside.

"This symbol?" Qin Qi suddenly felt as if he had seen this mark somewhere.

This mark is not complicated, so it can be recalled at once that the same mark was also on the armor of the bandit leader that night. Moreover, it seems that the town of Long Lake has the same mark everywhere.

Finally, Qin Qi remembered that yesterday on a street in the southern district of Changhu Town, there was a shop with the same mark painted on the stone wall. The southern district of Changhu Town is the place with the largest foreign population, mixed with all kinds of people, they bring rare treasures to sell on the black market, basically you can buy anything you want in the southern district, and the government never interferes in it.

After leaving the library, Qin Qi went straight to the Southern District.

At this time, the sun is a little dim, and the southern area is still full of people, and the alleyways are full of stalls, and almost every shop is full of people. Qin Qi appeared here in the uniform of the border guards, out of place in the chaotic streets, his gaze moving back and forth over the walls on either side, searching for the markers he needed.

When walking into an alley in the southern district, a mark carved into a granite wall caught Qin Qi's attention. There is also an equilateral triangle in the circle, but there are a few lines of small characters written under the marker, not Chinese, but some symbols. This symbol is in the same style as the symbol on the dagger.

It's the walls of a small shop. The door of the small shop was ajar, there was a faint flickering light inside, and a unique fragrance wafted out of it, specifically it should be a kind of floral fragrance, Qin Qi had smelled this smell next to the long lake, there was a large sea of such flowers.

Qin Qi felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. He felt that if the symbol, as written on the scroll, was the totem of a tribe of priests, then it was most likely that the bandit leader was their descendant. If you find the place where they buried their treasure, maybe you can find something related to the dagger, and perhaps, their treasure is the compass that Qin Qi wants.

Thinking of this, Qin Qi suppressed his excitement, tidied up his clothes, cleared his throat, pushed open the door and walked in.

Entering through the door, there was a long and narrow corridor, with a row of doors on both sides, and these doors were all painted images, due to aging, the paint had fallen off a lot, but Qin Qi could still make out the images on it, which were painted with some women dancing in skirts. The lights in the shop were dim, and the shopkeeper didn't seem to want to make any improvements in the lighting, as there were only a handful of small kerosene lamps in the hallway.

Qin Qi kept walking inside, clenching the long sword in his hand, maintaining a high degree of vigilance. He was preparing for a surprise attack, and in his opinion, a place where treasure was hid would never be a safe place. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the door lock twisting next to him, and he hurriedly pulled out his long sword and leaned his back against the wall next to the door, waiting for the "monster" to come out of the door.

When the door was opened, it turned out to be somewhat unexpected, and standing in the doorway was a woman with clear eyebrows, who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old at most, with somewhat unkempt hair, narrowed eyes, and a long skirt that was slightly transparent. Qin Qi's fighting posture startled the woman, and the woman trembled and leaned on the edge of the door, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here?" ”

Seeing this, Qin Qi quickly put down his long sword and took a step back, his face full of embarrassment.

"Uh・・・・・・ I'm sorry, I thought it was dangerous, so I ・・・・・・"

The woman looked Qin Qi up and down, and suddenly she noticed the Falling Moon City logo on Qin Qi's clothes, so she immediately pushed his arm with her hand, as if she was going to drive him out.

"You're from the border guards, you can't come here, you get out quickly." The woman said in a petite voice.

"What's going on?" Qin Qi was a little puzzled, and retreated backwards while taking advantage of the trend.

When she was about to reach the door, the woman saw Qin Qi's appearance clearly, she was stunned there for a long time, her head kept looking up at Qin Qi, and after a while, she realized that she had been stunned there for a long time, lowered her head again, and was arranging the sleeves of her long skirt by herself.

"What are you doing here?" The woman repeated the question.

"I saw that sign on the wall at the door, so I wanted to come in and ask." Qin Qi replied truthfully.

"That sign," the woman looked out, "I don't know what it means, it's been there for a long time. ”

"You're saying the sign probably existed hundreds of years ago?"

"How could I possibly know this?" A slight smile appeared on the woman's face, and when Qin Qi saw the woman's smile, Luo Zhilan's figure instantly appeared in his mind. "I was a very young man with this sign, and my mom said it was an auspicious sign."

"Oh~" Qin Qi understood that this should be another mark of what they called a god. So he put away his sword, thanked the woman, and prepared to turn away.

"Wait," the woman suddenly stopped Qin Qi, and then lowered her head shyly, "What's your name?" ”

"Qin Qi." Qin Qi replied naturally.

"If you want to know the story of this thing, I can ask my mother, she knows a lot of people, and there is nothing she doesn't know."

"If that's the case, thank you very much." Qin Qi nodded to the woman in thanks.

Qin Qi turned around and was about to leave, but he didn't expect the woman to stop him again. The woman leaned her head closer to Qin Qi and asked quietly, "You really don't know what this place is?" ”

"This ・・・・・・" Qin Qi touched his head, thought for a while, and then shook his head again.

"Okay then," the woman's smile was brighter than just now, like a flower blooming by the Long Lake, and she beckoned to Qin Qi, "You go back and ask others." ”

"Okay." Although Qin Qi didn't know why the woman asked this question, her smile was intoxicating.

With that, Qin Qi walked out of the door. He didn't know what kind of place it was, but judging from the structure of this small shop, could it be an inn? Qin Qi was a little puzzled. However, he would soon know the answer, because he had already seen Lingyue standing there across the doorway, looking at him with a surprised expression. Qin Qi waved his hand to her very friendly, but he didn't expect Lingyue to turn around and leave.

"Hey," Qin Qi hurriedly ran up behind, "What's the matter?" ”

"I can't imagine that you are the same kind of person as those government officials." Hearing this voice, Qin Qi felt that Ling Yue was obviously a little angry.

"What's wrong with me?" Qin Qi was puzzled again, he felt that he hadn't done anything bad.

"Do you know what that place is?" Lingyue suddenly stopped on the road, holding a magic staff, and looked at Qin Qi with a very serious look. Qin Qi also stopped, looking confused.

"I don't know."

"That's ・・・・・・ that's ・・・・・・" Lingyue wanted to say it several times, but she was too embarrassed to say it. In the end, she put the staff on Qin Qi's chest, looked at him angrily, only left a word, turned her head and walked forward by herself.

"That's where you men go."
