Chapter VIII, Section III

Jin Yi didn't plan to go home at night, so he casually ate some snacks at a small firewood-chopping wonton stall on the side of the street, so he took a detour to Jinling West Road to find a roadside public phone booth and call An Lilian.

The phone was quickly connected, An Lilian said that she had just returned to the apartment and asked Jin Yi what was important, Jin Yi said that there were too many guests at home recently, and it was very troublesome to get mixed up, so An Lilian told her relatives that it was better to leave early.

An Lilian understood that Jin Yi was reminding Ugina about it, and it must be that the news of the investigation by the Military Investigation Bureau was very tight. However, An Lilian knew that Ugina should have made some arrangements, so she told Jin Yi to rest assured and leave in the next two days.

Jin Yi said that he was going to the antler garden later, and asked An Lilian if she wanted to go with her.

"Thank you, I suffered a loss from the formation ban last time, and it took two days to recover," An Lilian said, "You go explore the path yourself, I don't want to die." ”

After dinner, Zhang Guoshou made a cup of tea, spread the day's newspaper on the table, and carefully looked at the advertising column.

"Any news?" asked Ugina.

"Confirm that we will transfer tomorrow and go to Pujiang Shengsi on Pujiang West Road. Zhang Guoshou nodded, "I've worked hard for you these days." ”

"Yes, the elders are safe. Ugina said.

Zhang Guoshou, an elder of the Red Banner Sect, has a set of special emergency contact methods and secret words. lost contact at the critical moment, and published secret advertisements on the advertising column of the Donghai Evening News. These advertisements will be published in the agreed columns, which look like ordinary job advertisements, missing person notices, etc., but in fact they are contact secret words.

After Zhang Guoshou regained his senses, he saw a specific missing person notice in the Donghai Evening News, so he asked Ugina to publish a reply advertisement, and conducted another verification to confirm that the upper organization of the Red Flag Gate had not been destroyed, and then agreed on the time and place of the transfer.

"How will I leave tomorrow?" Zhang Guoshou put down the newspaper

"Tomorrow we will walk from the ready-to-wear shop at the diagonal bridge. Ugina said, "There is a response on the way through the Anzha. ”

Ugina has already contacted Qian Jincai to respond. In the middle of Xieqiao Road and Anzha Road, there are two rows of three-storey residential buildings, the ground floor of many buildings has been changed into small shops by residents, and some shops are through the hall shop, enter from the façade of Xieqiao Road, you can pass through the back warehouse and then come out from Anzha Road.

Ugina knew that there was a ready-to-wear shop on Xieqiao Road, the façade was for customers to try on clothes and measure them, and the back hall could choose fabrics, and there was a clothing warehouse on Anzha Road, where the carriage of the Lianjie Carriage should be parked.

"Now it seems that there is something wrong with your upline. Zhang Guoshou said.

Although she had a good impression of Bai Xin, Ugina could now be sure that Bai Xin betrayed them: "If Deacon Bai wants to betray me, I can do it a long time ago, and until now, I'm afraid it's for Elder Zhang." It stands to reason that he shouldn't have known the identity of the elder. ”

"Bai Xin has been running the trade routes along the river, and he also has a lot of contacts in Ezhou, so we are still careless. Zhang Guoshou sighed.

There are some things that Zhang Guoshou didn't say, in fact, even if Bai Xin has connections in the Red Banner Gate of Ezhou, he is also a lieutenant in the middle and lower ranks of the army or a deacon at the outer gate of the Red Banner Gate. At Zhang Guoshou's level, only a few commanders and personal guards can know his whereabouts. As for the United Realm here, there will be no more than three people who know that he is coming.

Therefore, his itinerary was either speculated by Bai Xin through the conversations of friends in the Ezhou Red Banner Gate Army because of his long-term arrangement of transportation lines, or it was intentionally or unintentionally leaked by the high-level officials of the Red Flag Gate.

In either case, Zhang Guoshou decided to carry out a purge in the future.

"Xiaowu, when this matter is done, are you interested in going to Ezhou?" Zhang Guoshou said, "My secretary team there still lacks a team leader." ”

Ugina is outstanding, capable, and her identity has been exposed in the East China Sea after the accident, Zhang Guoshou thinks it's very good to take her to Ezhou.

Ugina is just a small grassroots leader in the East China Sea Red Flag Gate, and following Zhang Guoshou is really a step to the sky.

"I listen to the elders' arrangement, but my relationship sequence is on this side of the East China Sea. Ugina said.

"Okay," Zhang Guoshou nodded, "I'll tell him when I see No. 5." ”

The fifth is Zhou Donghao, the founding ten elders of the East China Sea Red Flag Gate, and a legendary figure of the Red Flag Gate. In his early years, he traveled to the Taixi Continent, and after returning to Donghua, he studied under the Xuanmen Warlocks such as Longhu Mountain, Baiyun Temple, and Qingcheng Mountain Xianniu Palace, and practiced martial arts under the technical masters of Xingyi Gate and Taiji Gate.

Later, he founded the Red Banner Gate and joined the Donghua League, and co-founded the Lingnan Military and Political University Hall with Zheng Zongzheng and other leaders of the Donghua League, also known as the Lingnan Military Academy, with Zheng Zongzheng as the principal and he as the instructor.

To this day, even though the Donghua League and the Red Flag Gate have turned against each other, the backbone of the Donghua League, who was born in a military academy, still respects Zhou Donghao behind his back.

It was already dark when Jin Yi arrived at the Antler Garden. Perhaps it was after a long conversation with Qiu Lingxiao that he gained something, and Jin Yi could already see the looming prohibition in his eyes.

He walked to the basement entrance on the first floor of the mansion, feeling the familiar fluctuations in his fingertips as he pushed the door.

Behind the door are two rows of bookshelves leading to the roof and a straight aisle in between. But Jin Yi stretched out his hand forward, as if opening an invisible curtain out of thin air.

The vision fluctuated like a curtain of water, and a winding staircase appeared in front of Jin Yi.

Walking down the stairs, there was an empty and spacious hall, with strange runes spliced from the marble floor. Although there is no lamp, Jin Yi can see that every piece of marble seems to build a space between virtual and real.

Jin Yi walked straight through the hall and opened a heavy wooden door on the inner wall.

The wooden door is made of a single piece of gloomy wood, densely inscribed with runes. This Gloomy Wood was the best material for making spiritual runes in the Xuanmen before the Extinction Day, and the characteristics of the Gloomy Wood allowed the rune effect to be maintained for a long time without being worn out due to the passage of time.

The whole door is gloomy wood runes, and the value of this door can buy half a street of mansions on Yongxing Road.

Behind the door was a secret room, and out of this door, the walls were stone walls on all sides, but it was not dark. On the top of the chamber, some unknown fluorescent stone is inlayed, and runes are also inscribed around it. The whole chamber was shrouded in a soft yellow light.

In the middle of the chamber is a futon, and in front of the futon is a stone table on which two rectangular objects the size of thumbs are placed. Behind the futon against the wall, there is a chaise longue-like thing, and behind the chair is a metal shelf with various labels of transparent bottles, and inside are liquids of different colors.

Jin Yi looked at the markings on the shelf, the name of this thing is called Recovery Capsule No. 3, it seems to be something used to change genes, prolong life, and bring the dead back to life before the legendary Extinction Day.

Behind the mark, there seemed to be something like a description of use, mixed with some symbols and Taixi characters, and many of the grammar after the extinction day was very different from before, Jin Yi didn't bother to look closely, turned around and sat down cross-legged on the futon.

After sitting down, Jin Yi could clearly feel that this position was the center of the fluctuating intertwin, and there was a slight sense of comfort in his divine sense, but it was nothing more.

The two rectangular objects on the stone table, exuding faint fluctuations, the texture seems to be bamboo, and it seems to be metal, and the texture on it seems to be naturally generated, but it is also like the rune on the inscription.

Both objects are the same size material, except for the shape displayed on the front. One is a pale cyan willow leaf, Jin Yi can even clearly see the texture on the willow leaf, the willow leaf seems to be hidden in this bamboo piece and gently fluctuates.

The other was a dark black flag, the intricate runes on the surface of the banner seemed to be swimming, and Jin Yi's fingers rubbed the surface of the bamboo piece, almost feeling that the banner was fluttering slightly.

Jin Yi picked up a piece of bamboo in each hand and held it in the palm of his hand. He could feel that the piece of bamboo was a living thing, but it was neither inorganic nor fully organic, and the fluctuations seemed to resemble the piece that had struck him.

Jin Yi tried to run the True Qi, and then exported the divine consciousness in the Purple Mansion and flowed to the palm of his hand, when the fluctuations touched the palm of his hand, the two bamboo pieces were like ice cubes that suddenly melted into water droplets, silently merging into his palm. After a while, a willow leaf-shaped mark faintly appeared on the palm of his right hand, and a small flag-like mark on his left hand.

Jin Yi is no longer surprised by this kind of thing. Anyway, for him, everything is a use of divine sense. He tried to concentrate his consciousness on the willow leaf in his right hand, as if it were a resonance, and he felt the willow leaf tremble slightly in the palm of his hand, and a shock wave was sent out, sweeping in the direction of his attention.

The next moment, Jin Yi looked at the heavy stone wall opposite, the stone wall was like a piece of tofu being cut by a sharp scalpel, showing a cut mark, which also penetrated the steel bar in the stone wall, the steel plate behind the steel bar, the protective partition brick behind the steel plate, and then deeply cut into the soil layer of the foundation section.

Jin Yi was glad that this invisible slash did not sweep the load-bearing columns and beams of the foundation, otherwise he wondered if it would have collapsed the building.

However, after swinging this invisible slash, Jin Yi actually felt a little sore back.

Looking at the small banner printed on his left hand, Jin Yi had palpitations, he wanted to give it a try, but he was afraid that the damage would be too great. After a moment's hesitation, curiosity prevailed. He tried to use his divine sense to urge Kohata, but this time there was no movement.

With the mentality of trying again and stopping, Jin Yi took a deep breath, Beidou Zhenqi went straight into the Purple Mansion, and a huge divine thought poured out, he only felt the small banner in his palm swing, and suddenly felt sore, as if he was overexerting himself, and his mind was drowsy for a while.

He knew it might be because his physical body wasn't enough to support his senses. Hurry up and breathe.

There was no movement in the palm of his hand, and there was nothing unusual around, Jin Yi felt that this little flag's experiment was a failure, and he wasted half a day of strength to gain nothing, and it seemed that his physical body was not strong enough.

A night cat was gently approaching the rat crawling down the sewer, and suddenly jumped up on the best line of attack, and the rat seemed to be startled by the danger, and before it could move, its limbs twitched violently, and it fell to the ground and did not move. At the same time, the cat leaping in mid-air, before its paws touched the mouse, suddenly stopped stiffly in the air, as if frozen for a tenth of a second, and then snapped, and fell straight to the ground, motionless.

At the same moment, the insects, ants, birds, and beasts around the Antler Mansion suddenly all froze.

Jin Yi didn't know that at the moment when the small banner in his palm waved, within a radius of fifteen meters centered on him, the divine consciousness of all living beings was instantly drained. The entire Antlers Mansion suddenly fell into dead silence.

Luckily, there was no one walking in the Antler Garden that night.
