In the luxury business car of the Shangkei.

Li Qing leaned back on the leather seat, pondering his extraordinary ability to "awaken".

There is no doubt that the means of escaping from the shackles of those four stars must be extraordinary strength, but other than that, his extraordinary abilities seem to be a little "inconspicuous": sharper five senses or even six senses, more agile skills and calmness that are different from ordinary people......

Except for the magical escape method like a golden cicada shedding its shell, Li Qing didn't see any use for the time being.

Perhaps it was time to consider Xiao Jin's words and join her and Gu Changming's queue, there must be a systematic discussion of transcendent abilities in those ancient transcendent organizations.

After thinking about it, Wang Yanming finally rushed back, his calm face made the nasolabial folds on both sides of the bridge of his nose appear a little deeper, and the light gray pupils reminded people of the gray-haired lone wolf in the forest.

Since he came back, the atmosphere in the business car has become a little solemn, Wang Yanming beckoned, handed the black coat he took off to the male assistant who stepped forward, and at the same time ordered:

"Two cups of tea."

After doing this, Wang Yanming turned his gaze to Li Qing opposite, and asked in a deep tone:

"Do you know why he did that in the end?"

The "he" in Wang Yanming's mouth naturally refers to the man in the cap.

Prior to this, Li Qing had imagined many beginnings for this conversation, including the cordial style of removing his psychological defense in order to close the distance, and the intimidation style of using power to suppress people and convince people with reason, but he did not expect that Wang Yanming would use such a very tricky question as the opening remark.

He remembered Qin Liaoyanghao's brief annotation to Director Wang under the translation:

He is a well-known archaeologist and one of the survivors of the development of the ancient ruins of Fulong.

Since he was a survivor, it seemed like a good choice to follow his footsteps and stay in line with him.

Li Qing's silence was regarded by Wang Yanming as a silent answer, and he did not laugh at Li Qing's ignorance like a shallow apprentice who loved to show off, but said in the tone of an old professor and an old scholar:

"I heard the border people talk about what the murderer did before he died, which belongs to the study of ancient beliefs,"

"It was a sacrificial ritual, and the meaning of this ritual is mentioned in Mr. Fan Benchang's book "Examination of the Twenty-four Righteous Gods of Tiandu","

Speaking of this, Wang Yanming took a special look at Li Qing, and saw that the latter had a blank look on his face, and Director Wang imperceptibly showed a little disappointed.

Wang Yanming, who is over 50 years old, has a good habit of carrying a pen and paper with him, he takes out a pen and paper and draws a vertical pupil on the paper, and in the middle of the vertical pupil is a hollow circle, which is tangent to the upper and lower eyelids to represent the pupil.

"He sacrificed to a deity called Miaomu Shengzun, 'Shengzun' is the title, 'Miaomu' is the edict, the action of gouging out his eyes before death symbolizes a kind of return, Miaomu Shengzun claims to have insight into all things, that is, the book says 'she is the only eye in heaven and earth', he raised his eyeballs high, is to let the Shengzun know his piety, and use the wisdom of the gods to guide his soul to the lost."

While Wang Yanming was talking, the lights in the business car seemed to be infected by this strong theological atmosphere, and they swayed and swayed as if they were spiritual, casting flickering light into the carriage according to the rhythm of the roar of machinery.

The male assistant, who knew Director Wang's temperament, had already withdrawn with interest, and in the huge business car, there were only Li Qing and Wang Yanming.

It was an intimate conversation that only happened between the two of them.

It seemed that Wang Yanming had specially set aside time for Li Qing to digest these novelties, and the carriage fell into a wordless silence, as if it was holding some kind of solemn religious ceremony.

"Among the twenty-four gods of the heavenly capital that you are talking about, is there a god with the nickname 'Sacrifice to the Moon'?" Li Qing thought for a long time, weighed the gains and losses, and whether the timing was right, and said tentatively in the silence.

Li Qing didn't feel anything when he first heard the so-called "Twenty-Four Righteous Gods of the Heavenly Capital", but when Wang Yanming said "Miaomu Shengzun" and then pointed out the naming structure of the title and the number, Li Qing suddenly remembered the group of missionaries in the old alley who called themselves "Messengers of the Moon" and the witch-like figure who recited "Worship the Moon for eternity".

"What is the ...... of the moon sacrifice" Wang Yanming frowned, he was about to start a detailed lecture on Miaomu Saint Venerable, one of the twenty-four righteous gods, and subconsciously wanted to reprimand the inattentive student in front of him, after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly stopped his reprimand.

"You wait."

Wang Yanming took out his notebook, looked down with his fingers line by line, and suddenly paused at a certain location, he raised his head and glanced at Li Qing suspiciously, and asked, "Have you read Fan Benchang's book?" ”

This question is also equivalent to an affirmative answer to Li Qing's previous question.

Li Qing shook his head and said, "It's not important. ”

Wang Yanming was choked by Li Qing, and after a long time, he spoke slightly depressedly: "I originally thought that you and the dead bandit had an indescribable sense of similarity, but now that I come into contact with you, this feeling is a little ridiculous, and it's okay not to speak." ”

Actually, your feeling is very accurate...... Li Qing pointed to the pen in Wang Yanming's hand, and the latter understood, and pushed the pen and paper together in front of Li Qing.

Li Qing picked up the pen and tried to recall the dying waning moon that he saw behind the middle-aged woman in the black robe, and drew it smoothly.

Seeing this clearly pointed pattern, Wang Yanming couldn't help but bow his head slightly, and a smile of approval appeared on his face.

Although Li Qing didn't admit it, in Wang Yanming's heart, he had already determined that Li Qing had read the book "Tiandu Twenty-Four Righteous Divine Examination Records", otherwise he would never be able to say so accurately the name of the rare deity whose ranking was still after the "Miaomu Holy Venerable" and draw the emblem enshrined by this Moon Worship Sect.

Wang Yanming still has a good impression of this kind of erudite and modest offspring, and Li Qing has just made another meritorious service, so Wang Yanming naturally looks at Li Qing more pleasing to the eye.

"Not bad, not bad," Wang Yanming turned the paper with the waning moon in half a circle, so that this waning moon was facing him, "The two gods of the moon and Miaomu are ranked twenty-third and twentieth respectively in the "Examination Records", and they are the last gods in the bottom ranking. The Miaomu Saint Venerable uses the 'only eye in heaven and earth' to show his supremacy and greatness, compared to the Moon Worship Venerable, which is much more concise and clear, using only two words,"

"Eternity."

"Eternity."

Li Qing and Wang Yanming said these two words in unison.

Wang Yanming smiled and said, "You seem to have a lot of research on the Moon Sacrifice Sect?" You know, for this kind of cold and marginal knowledge, even the people in the institute who study this field full-time are rarely involved. ”

Immediately afterwards, Wang Yanming encouraged: "I mean, if you are interested in this aspect, you should stick to it and not go to the opinion of the unexpected world." ”

"Like my master?" Li Qing remembered Yang Kaijia's almost crazy demeanor before he died.

Wang Yanming fell silent, obviously, he already knew the news of Yang Kaijia's death.

"His path has gone astray, he has gone to extremes, it is my dereliction of duty that I did not guide him well." After a long time, Wang Yanmingfu spoke again, the corners of his always sharp eyes softened, and he said as if he was reminiscing: "When he just came to 427 to work, he was about the same age as you. ”

Wang Yanming stopped, he waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about him, I remember that the ticket I gave you can only sit in Nanyang, and you have to transfer another train in Nanyang?" I just greeted the conductor, so you don't have to go around in trouble, come with me, just this train, and sit directly to Fulong. ”

Li Qing opened his mouth, Wang Yanming's sudden kindness not only contradicted the instructions Li Qing received from the back of the archival documents, but also did not match the goal he had set, and it was also different from Xiao Jin's description of the awakening trial.

In Li Qing's original thoughts, this awakening trial would be over when the train arrived in Nanyang, and he could successfully return to reality and be promoted to a transcendent in reality.

All of this, no matter how it develops, seems so logical.

"What? Do you have friends in Nanyang who want to meet and want to stay there for a few more days? Wang Yanming saw Li Qing hesitating, and thought that he was going to refuse his kindness.

Li Qing heard Director Wang's unhappiness hidden under his words, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, then it will be troublesome for the leader to arrange." ”

He also figured it out, no matter what happens in the follow-up, there is no harm in agreeing, even if the trial realm really ends in Nanyang, the big deal is to release Wang Yanming's pigeon, which is not a matter of importance to Li Qing, who is about to return to reality.

But in this trial realm, there still seem to be many unknown secrets waiting to be revealed, and like the burned archives, here, Xiao Jin's empirical summary may not be enough to be regarded as a guideline by Li Qing.

"I heard from the border people that that murderer seems to be able to disappear in an instant, and he also has the superpower to control the stars?" Wang Yanming remembered something, and suddenly said, "What do you think?" ”

Li Qing smiled indifferently and said, "The strange force is chaotic, and it is not enough. ”

Wang Yanming nodded approvingly, and echoed: "Those who are silent are indeed insignificant. ”

The two chatted for a while, and before they knew it, the speed of the train began to slow down, and Nanyang Station was about to arrive.

The Shangqing drove into Nanyang Station with a mighty roar, and the whistle whimpered, emitting a powerful tone that belonged to this era.

"I'll get out of the car and take a breath." Li Qing greeted Wang Yanming, and came to the car door with mixed feelings.

The door opened, and looking at the travelers on the platform who were carrying large bags and small bags and preparing to get on the train, Li Qing couldn't tell whether this was illusory or reality for a while

This trial realm is inevitably too real.

And the extraordinary power is born in this.

Li Qing took a deep breath and stepped off the train.
