The night in Antu County is quiet.

The streetscape is empty, and the trees on the roadside are intertwined, trying to stretch their slender branches to the sky.

The night was deep, and the air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke.

Gu Bei knew that this was because a large amount of volcanic ash was sprayed into the sky and fell back to the ground, which caused the area near Changbai Mountain to be filled with this scorching smell of gunsmoke.

He smelled it as soon as he got off the train.

There are still a few crickets in the grass outside the room that are not dormant, perhaps they have not found their favorite mate all summer, even though it is autumn at this time, these still single crickets are still vibrating their wings and singing, accompaniment to Lu Mingfei's snoring in the room.

Usually Lu Mingfei doesn't snore, but the life on the train these days is really overworked, and today he slept to death for the first time, making a burst of snoring.

In the ups and downs of Lu Mingfei's snoring, Gu Bei and the little thing on the table were looking at each other.

The little thing was gray all over its body, with four small thin legs supporting a fat belly, and a slender tail, but it was longer than the whole body.

Finding that Gu Bei was looking at it, it didn't panic, but looked around with a thief's head.

If it weren't for the fact that this guy only had one ear, Gu Bei would have thought that this was a mouse...... !

Isn't this just a mouse?

Do you when I don't watch Sheriff Black Cat?

Like Li, one ear!

Gu Bei's eyes were quick, and Yuan Qi twisted it into a thin "bundle of immortal ropes", and flew towards one ear with a "whoosh".

One ear was obviously the first time he had seen this thing, and he was so frightened that the whole rat jumped on the spot ten centimeters and almost took off.

Seeing that the situation was not good, one ear turned around and wanted to run, but it was just a small mouse, how could it be faster than the "Immortal Rope" that was controlled by Gu Bei and had its own tracking function?

Before he jumped off the table, one ear was tied up with a "fairy rope".

Gu Bei controlled Yuan Qi to carry one ear in front of him, watching one ear and four legs struggling wildly, frowning.

The Northeast out of the horse family, the enshrined family immortals are different, among which the five family immortals of Hubai, yellow, willow and gray are the most widely distributed, and they are also the longest.

The "gray fairy" refers to the mouse.

Originally, when Gu Bei saw the information, he guessed that it might be the Northeast Five Immortals, but the guess was just a guess.

After all, this is a dragon, not a single person.

The legend of the Five Great Immortals does exist, but it is still unknown whether it is true.

The most likely conjecture may be that some half-breed animal with dragon blood is pretending to be a ghost.

So Gu Bei was prepared for no gain before he came.

But I didn't expect that on the first day I arrived at my destination, God sent a surprise!?

Gu Bei was carrying the hind legs of one ear, feeling that the matter was a little too simple to solve?

I always felt like something was wrong.

Gu Bei frowned and thought about it, and decided that he should be more careful.

Yuan Qi followed the "Bundle Immortal Rope" into the body of one ear, and after a while, Gu Bei took Yuan Qi back.

Nothing to gain, this is just an ordinary mouse.

There is no dragon blood, there is no Yuan Qi, and ordinary rats can no longer be ordinary.

It seems that Gu Bei guessed wrong, the appearance of one ear may be just a coincidence, not the arrangement of some "gray fairy".

But Gu Bei didn't let go of one ear.

From the perspective of physiological structure, this is indeed an ordinary mouse, but Gu Bei always felt that this mouse looked very awkward.

Nothing else, its eyes are too smart, it doesn't look like a low-intelligence creature at all.

Do you want to touch your soul with your blue hands?

After thinking about it, Gu Bei decided to give up for the time being.

Without it, the soul of a creature like a mouse is too fragile, if the soul of one ear is not abnormal, then Gu Bei touching it with his blue hand is enough to send one ear back to the west.

Although rats are everywhere, one ear is likely to be a clue to the door, and it is better not to let it die unless it is absolutely necessary.

After making up his mind, Gu Bei tied one ear carefully, threw it at the head of Lu Mingfei's bed, and then fell asleep upside down.

There's no way, it's not just Lu Mingfei's tired journey, he's the same.

Tiredness is a common thing.

Since his cultivation, Gu Bei hadn't slept much, and he had always used cultivation instead of sleep.

That night, Gu Bei had a good night's sleep after a long absence.

Early the next morning, what woke up Gu Bei was Lu Mingfei's scream.

"I'm blanching, boss, boss, there's a mouse!

！

”

Gu Bei sank Lu Mingfei with a pillow: "What's the noise in the morning?!" Isn't it just a mouse, all the fuss! ”

Lu Mingfei, big break.

Gu Bei grabbed the messy hair and yawned, his fingers hooked slightly, and one ear tied by the five flowers floated up from the head of Lu Mingfei's bed and flew towards Gu Bei.

Maybe it was the fact that it had been clear last night, or maybe the rat had tried to escape with little success, but in short, one ear had now given up completely resisting, and had fallen asleep, and his nose was bubbling with sleep.

Well...... In a sense, last night should have been the peak of one-eared rat life, after all, not everyone can share the same bed with the dragon king.

Of course, there will be many opportunities for this kind of Su Xiaoqiao in the future, and she is probably the easiest human in the world to achieve the Dragon King Knight.

Well...... Maybe Chu Zihang?

Gu Bei suddenly thought of the unknown Xia Mi, if she was also a certain dragon king as he guessed, then Chu Zihang might be easier to become a dragon knight?

But then again, isn't there a bit of a dragon king around you?

Gu Bei's thoughts drifted farther and farther away, and he didn't notice that a pair of resentful eyes were looking at him at all.

was so frightened that he jumped up, and then was smashed under the bed by Gu Beiyi's pillow, and after getting up, he saw Lu Mingfei, who Gu Bei was sure to put one ear in his pocket: I have a sentence that my mother sells batches, and I don't know whether to say it.

After making such a fuss, the two of them were also in good spirits and got up to wash up separately.

The knock on the door of "Dong Dong Dong" sounded, and Gu Bei, who was brushing his teeth, poked his head out of the bathroom: "Lu Mingfei, go open the door." ”

Lu Mingfei opened the door, and after a while, the door closed again.

Gu Bei rinsed his mouth and spit out a mouthful of foam, walked out of the bathroom, walked around the customer hall, and found that only Lu Mingfei was sitting on the sofa by himself.

Gu Bei sat next to Lu Mingfei: "What about the person who knocked on the door just now?" ”

Lu Mingfei pointed to the package on the coffee table: "Well, that person sent this thing here and left." ”

Gu Bei nodded, remembering that yesterday Gu Haitang explained that he would send the information they had over today, it should be this package, right?

But...... Is there so much information about the Northern Branch?

Gu Bei picked up the package and checked it, hey, it's almost five or six catties, when do you have to see it?

Without thinking about it, Gu Bei casually removed the sealing tape on the package.

Uncovering the corner of the package, before he could see anything clearly, an ominous aura leaked out, Gu Bei's eyes froze, and he threw the package out without hesitation.

The package flew high, and then slammed down on the floor, and Lu Mingfei, who was originally sitting on the other side of the sofa, was pulled behind him by Gu Bei's neck before he could react.

Gu Bei looked solemnly at the location where the package fell.

was hit hard, the shell of the package was already in tatters, and the things inside slipped out, it was not the information that Gu Bei thought it was at all, but a small statue.

The statue is about 30 centimeters long, and the whole body is made of copper and is divided into three parts.

The first half is the head of a mouse, but the head of this mouse has a pair of large fluffy fox ears that look undescriptive.

In the middle part is a long yellow torso, and its claws look like Wong Tai Sin, but the hair on this torso is sharp and towering, and it looks like a hedgehog.

The tail part of the second half looks like a mouse again, thin and long, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a small snake with a wide mouth withered on the tip of this slender tail, which is turning its head and stabbing its long fangs into the base of the tail.

The three parts of the statue look strange when taken individually, but the whole looks quite harmonious, as if they were supposed to be.

What's even more strange is that on this all-bronze statue, the eyes of the mouse and the snake are not copper, but dotted with fine gold, and the gold is flashing, as if a pair of golden children are watching Gu Bei and Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei looked at the statue and felt uncomfortable: "Old ...... Boss, what is this? ”

Gu Bei looked at the index finger that he accidentally touched when he opened the package just now, and his fingertips were already scorched black, but Gu Bei didn't feel any discomfort.

Moreover, Gu Bei did not perceive the means used on the statue, that kind of power was neither the spirit of the half-blood, nor the Qi of the alien, it was strangely tight.

Gu Bei urged the Liuku Immortal Thief, and in an instant, the wound on his finger did not even leave a scar.

"I don't know what it is, but I know it's certainly not a good thing."

The characteristics of the five immortals are cast on a bronze statue, which is indescribably indescribable, and the golden eye, which is obviously a symbol of the half-blood......

The ingredients are complex enough, don't you want me to guess the real body? Or is the statue itself misleading?

Originally, when he caught an ear last night, Gu Bei thought it was a simple rat infestation, or that some rats had become mixed-race.

As for the appearance of the Gray Immortal or something, it is not impossible, but this possibility is too low, Gu Bei did not think about it in that direction.

But now it seems that Gu Bei still underestimated it.

And the other party also sent this thing to the door, it is obvious that the other party knows the purpose of Gu Bei and Lu Mingfei coming to Changbai Mountain, but he doesn't know the purpose of the other party's sending the sculpture, is it a warning, or a demonstration?

Gu Bei lowered his head and thought about it, feeling that things were getting interesting......

Then again, what about one ear?

Gu Beiyi dug into his pocket and found that the little mouse that should have been in his pocket was gone, and he followed the Qi sense to look around, and found that the little guy was fluttering on the two little short legs that were not tied up, trying to move towards the statue.

Gu Bei frowned, a brain melon collapsed and dizzy one ear, and then stuffed it into his pocket.

Mystic Statues will have an impact on creatures (specific?) Generate attraction?

Let's try it out later.

Gu Bei took out a notebook and sorted out and recorded all the information he had collected so far, and then determined them one by one.

After checking it, it seems that something is missing......

Less...... That's right!

"Lu Mingfei," Gu Bei turned around and asked Lu Mingfei, who was curled up in the corner of the sofa, "What does the person who came to deliver things just now look like?" Do you remember? ”

"Huh?"

Lu Mingfei thought for a while and shook his head: "He is dressed in black, wearing a hat, mask, and sunglasses, so he can't see his face clearly at all." ”

That is, there is no clue......

Gu Bei closed the small notebook: "You put that thing away, we will go out for breakfast later." ”

When Lu Mingfei heard this, his face turned bitter: "Don't do it, boss, that thing looks so disgusting." ”

Gu Bei smiled and said, "If you don't clean it up, then let it have breakfast with you later." ”

Lu Mingfei grinned, picked up the statue with a bitter face and threw it back into the package, glued it with sealing tape, and then carried it and prepared to go out.

Gu Bei: "Where are you going?" ”

Lu Mingfei: "Go and throw this thing in the trash." ”

Gu Bei shook his head: "No, it's still useful to keep that thing." ”

Lu Mingfei was shocked: "Boss, you don't really want it to have breakfast with me, do you?" ”

Gu Bei: "...... I thought I should take the time to check if there's anything wrong with your brain. ”

After a noisy meal, Gu Bei locked the package containing the statue into the cabinet under the desk.

After thinking about it, Gu Bei edited a text message and sent it to Gu Haitang, and received a reply after a while: "Roger." ”

"Boss, let's go eat, I'm hungry."

Lu Mingfei had already packed up Lisuo and stood at the door waiting, after all, he had slept for more than ten hours in one breath, and he was really hungry.

Gu Bei put away his phone, and after confirming that the sculpture was locked, he also packed up and went out.

"Okay, don't rush, it's like urging life."

"Hehe, boss, let me tell you, I'm not active in cooking, and I have a problem with my thoughts!"

“…… You scold me? ”

“…… Boss, I think you should take the time to check your brain, too. ”

“…… Did you scold me again? ”

“…… It's good that you're happy, boss. ”

The two of them discussed what to eat for breakfast while arguing, and left the B&B noisily.

In the cabinet under the desk, the package shook twice, then calmed down.

On the other side, Gu Haitang, who had not slept all night, moved his body and looked at the exploration team on the other side: "How is it, have you found the location of the "egg"?" ”

As if they hadn't heard her, the people of the exploration team looked down at the instrument in their hands seriously.

Gu Haitang was not annoyed, she had long been familiar with the temperament of these people, and she was not asking everyone.

The captain of the exploration team, a little old man of about 1.5 meters, walked out of a bunch of team members and came to Gu Haitang.

"There's no trace, Captain."

Gu Haitang frowned: "If I'm not mistaken, the entire Changbai Mountain Range has been turned over by us, right?" ”

The little old man nodded: "Yes, so we have two inferences now. ”

"Speak."

"The first possibility is that this 'egg' is hidden in the deepest part of the magma and cannot be detected by our instruments."

Gu Haitang shook his head: "This is impossible, this batch of new instruments is an alchemy tool, which has a specific sense of high concentration of dragon blood, unless she hides in the center of the earth, she will always be found." ”

The little old man agreed: "We think so too, so we have a second guess. ”

"The 'egg' may have hatched, and the 'target' is avoiding us."

Gu Haitang listened and was silent: "Okay, I know." ”

"You continue to search, I still have something to do, let's go down the mountain first."

"Yes."
