Sikong sat on a large wooden box, lit a paper flue-cured cigarette, sandwiched it between his two fingers, but did not send it to his mouth, just let it burn slowly, and the smoke rose in a curling curl.

In this way, flue-cured tobacco is not like flue-cured tobacco, but like a stick of incense.

A subordinate walked in.

Sikong's face was hidden behind the smoke, blurred: "Inquire clearly?" ”

"Inquire clearly." The subordinate replied, "It was the spiritual official of the Daomen Tiangang Hall who caught someone, and it was a local snake that caught it, so it should have nothing to do with us." ”

"It's good that it doesn't have anything to do with us." Sikong Coo nodded, "Tiangangtang is an old acquaintance, so be careful not to be noticed by them." ”

The subordinate nodded in response.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

The subordinate did not wrinkle, and walked straight over, looking out through the small hole in the door.

Outside the door stood a man in a cloak with a one-piece hood that completely obscured his face. It's June soon, and it's the so-called June fire, and it's weird to wear such a cloak in such a hot weather.

The subordinate asked softly through the door: "Huangquan can't, Yin Si is orderly." ”

"The lock is coming, and the soul cannot escape." The man outside replied.

The code was matched, and the subordinate opened the door and let him in.

The man lifted the one-piece hood from the cloak, revealing a small face, with a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets, which should be of some Western Regions blood.

"I'm Situ Xingran." The person who came grinned, the smile was very bright, and a little innocent, like a big boy.

The subordinate of Sikong Cuo is named Wu Mai, he has never seen Situ Xingchao, he only knows that this person has been dormant in Jinling Mansion for a long time, and he can be regarded as a veritable head snake. It's just that his first impression of Situ Xingchao is very bad, and his appearance is not bad, after all, there is no shortage of people in Jinling Mansion, and this kind of appearance is not shocking, but after all, it is still a little eye-catching, and he is dressed like this in the summer, which makes him even more dissatisfied.

Wu Mai said with a vigilant face: "What about things? ”

Situ Xingchao stretched out his hand to wipe it behind his waist, Wu Mai's whole person instantly tensed, and he subconsciously pulled out a scimitar, and the blade flashed with a cold blue light.

"Don't be nervous, I won't eat you again." Situ Xingchao still had an indifferent smile on his face, saying that he took out a bamboo tube-shaped object from behind his waist, and then spun it like a windmill.

Wu Mai's eyelids jumped, if this was what they needed, then it was more precious than their lives, but it was unbearable to be treated as a plaything by this kid.

Wu Mai's face was gloomy, and he was about to have a seizure, but Sikong Cuo finally spoke: "Come in and talk." ”

Situ Xingchao didn't wait for Wu Mai to agree, and directly bypassed him and walked into the courtyard. When he saw the wooden boxes all over the yard, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"This is the 'gift'?" Situ Xing walked to a large wooden box and patted it with his hand.

Sikong replied wrongly: "Yes, this is the 'gift', it was transported by sea, there are no twists and turns, and it has been dealt with." ”

"It's not necessarily a good thing to be too clean, you killed people, but those people still have relatives and friends, it's not strange to be missing for one day, but it's very strange to be missing for two or three days, their relatives and friends will look for them everywhere, even if they don't see anyone alive or dead, it will still attract the attention of Qingluanwei or Daomen, so this matter can't be hidden for long." Situ Xing said in a rambling voice.

Sikong Coo frowned slightly, but did not deny this statement.

Situ Xingran continued: "It's not enough to have 'gifts', the key is to 'bless', and the two can only play the greatest role when they are combined. ”

Sikong Cuo's gaze fell on the bamboo tube in Situ Xingran's hand: "This is the 'blessing'?" ”

"Hmm." Situ Xing replied in a nasal voice, and stuffed the bamboo tube into Sikong Cuo's hand.

Sikong was stunned for a moment, and then began to carefully examine the bamboo tube in his hand.

Obviously, this bamboo tube is just a cover, and it can be regarded as a container, the key is the contents inside.

At this moment, the test between Sikong Cuo's two fingers finally burned out, and only a few soots remained.

Situ Xingchao took out a handful of tobacco leaves from his arms, put it in his mouth, and chewed it directly.

Sikong Cuo first looked at the mark on the bamboo tube, and after confirming that it had not been opened, a little smile appeared on his face, and then he pulled out a special dagger from his waist and carefully removed the seal on the bamboo tube.

Situ Xingran chewed the tobacco leaves in his mouth hard, and said in a serious tone in a Westerner's aria: "The Lord has sent down a gift, and Ze has been born by the people." The Lord blesses believers and incarnates all things. ”

For some reason, Sikong Cuo heard a bit of banter from Situ Xingchao's tone, which made him very dissatisfied, but considering the identity of this person, he didn't have a seizure.

On the contrary, Situ Xingran himself was a little nervous: "If you want me to say, it's just a trick, to put it bluntly, it's an introduction, without this introduction, many things can't be done." ”

Sikong Coo forcibly suppressed his dissatisfaction, but he was still silent, and his attention was all on the bamboo tube in his hand.

After the seal was gone, the bamboo tube was just an ordinary bamboo tube, and Sikong Cuo just used a little force to divide the bamboo tube vertically into two halves.

The things in the bamboo tube finally revealed their true faces, which were somewhat similar to the knife coins of ancient times, and seemed to be a curved moon, the whole body was green, half transparent, and there were many fine blood threads inside.

"This is ......" Sikong Cuo carefully held this strange jade, and his face was a little fanatical.

Situ Xing spit out the tobacco residue in his mouth, then took out a small folding fan from his sleeve, unfolded it with a "snap", and fanned the wind: "Haven't you seen it?" Haven't used it, have you? Don't see it, do you? ”

"You!" Wu Mai was about to have another seizure, but he was stopped by Sikong Cuo raising his hand, and then he heard Sikong Cuo say: "Please advise." ”

Situ Xing didn't hide it in a hurry: "According to Daomen, this thing is called 'Xuanyu', and the meaning is also very easy to understand, Xuanmen and Xuanmen, Daomen also calls itself Xuanmen, and today's imperial court is also called Daxuan, as for jade, not to mention, this thing is jade." ”

Wu Mai's forehead jumped.

To call "blessing" "this thing" is undoubtedly a great blasphemy. If it weren't for the fact that this person was crucial in the next plans, he would not mind making this person into a "collection" with his own hands.

Situ Xingran seemed to see Wu Mai's thoughts, and said: "I advise you not to use your brains, in terms of status, I am above you, even if this Sikong brother is only at the same level as me, and he can't point fingers at me." As for doing it, I'll solve you with one hand, believe it or not? ”

Wu Mai was furious, his face was red, and he was about to make a move, when he heard Sikong Cuo say in a loud voice: "Enough." ”

Neither spoke anymore.

Wu Mai gasped, obviously angry. Situ Xingchao still didn't care, shaking his fan while looking up at the sky.

Sikong Cuo asked again: "How should 'Xuanyu' be used?" ”

Situ Xing closed the folding fan in a mess, inserted it in the back collar at will, and said: "'Xuanyu' has many uses, it is said that some people use it to improve their cultivation, I have to say that it is a tyrannical thing, the key to 'Xuanyu' is that it can carry divine power, this 'Xuanyu' has been activated by the Lord, as long as we put it together with the 'gift' prepared, then we can see a ......"

Situ Xing made a flowering gesture with his hands: "A beautiful flower." ”

Sikong Cuo's face regained a smile, and he repeated softly: "A beautiful flower, shining on the world." ”

Situ Xingran took out a handful of tobacco leaves and put them in his mouth, and said vaguely: "If you want to bloom, you have to sow seeds first, and then water, the 'gift' is the seed, let your people quickly put all the 'gifts' here in the predetermined position, and then you will water it yourself." ”

Sikong Tso subconsciously asked, "What do you do?" ”

Situ Xing asked rhetorically, "What is the purpose of flowering?" ”

Sikong didn't know how to answer for a while.

Situ Xing asked himself and replied: "Flowering is for fruition." ”

"You are in charge of watering, and I am in charge of picking the fruit. Got it? Situ Xing looked at Sikong wrongly.

Despite some reluctance, Sikong Cuo nodded.

Situ Xing clapped his hands indiscriminately: "Very good." ”

Sikong Coo finally asked, "When will you do it?" ”

Situ Xing said lightly: "It doesn't depend on us, but on the Daomen." ”
