Shangguan Yi lay on the bed after eating, his brain empty, recalling the scene he had just chatted with Fu Changan.

"Fu Changan, you are so powerful, I feel that you can do anything, so why do you want to protect me, I am just a drag oil bottle to you, in fact, it is dispensable. The young man was holding the meal weakly, looking depressed.

"Some things don't count like that, no matter how good I am, there are some things I can't do. No one will do something for no reason, and so am I, since I have done it, I have my reason, if you don't understand, just think that I fancy your potential and want to invest it. Remember to try to stay alive and don't let me waste your investment. The girl said a little mischievously, smiling brightly with a little sadness.

"Didn't you say you'd tell me as long as I asked?"

The girl said slyly, "I didn't say it, the previous time was only related to this matter, as for the rest, you can ask without taboo, but I won't necessarily answer." ”

...

What did Fu Changan fancy about herself? This question was entangled in Shangguan Yi's heart, and it would not be dispersed for a long time, if it was speculated according to common sense, if she had nothing to do, she would either be a traitor or a thief, then what she wanted must be not small, and she could not afford to give it if she said she couldn't.

In the end, he is still too weak, if he is a generation of grandmasters, and he hasn't swept here, what Miao Jiang, the miscellaneous forces of the Demon Sect are all weak, who can stop him? At that time, it didn't matter what Fu Changan was plotting against him, he was so willful.

Speaking of which, it seems that he has touched a little loot. When Shangguan Yi yy, he suddenly remembered that he had endured the discomfort of his body last night and successfully touched the corpse.

He hurriedly sat up and took out those medicine bottles in one go, and began to check if there were any important clues in them. emmm, some medicinal powders, it seems to be the medicine of the Seven Heart Glass, and some medicinal leads, these are not important, and he doesn't use them much. Suddenly, when Shangguan Yi opened a silver bottle, he found that it was not a medicinal powder, but a worm arching back and forth inside, with a silver-gray body and a bulging belly, which looked inconspicuous.

Shangguan Yi didn't think that the people of the Demon Sect would carry a bug with him, this product must have its own use, but Shangguan Yi didn't know it yet. Looking at the silver bottle that was a little blackened, he knew in his heart that this thing was poisonous, and I was afraid that it was not low. Shangguan Yi went to the package and took out a silver needle, picked out the insect and put it in a small porcelain plate, and then carefully observed it, trying to see its origin.

"Tuk Tuk"

There was a knock on the door, accompanied by Lin Xiao's beating voice: "Is Brother Tai here?" ”

"Come in. Shangguan Yi didn't think much about it, they at least saved him last night, although Xiao He was defeated and Xiao He, this matter was made like that because of him.

"Brother, you're recovering pretty quickly. Lin Xiao was a little surprised when he came in, he couldn't be clearer about Shangguan Yi's injuries yesterday, even if he helped deal with his injuries, it was useless, he had to lie down for a few days before he could get out of bed, and as for the recovery state, it was even more distant. Now Shangguan Yi not only got out of bed and sat at the table, although his expression was pale, it was not as exaggerated as last night, he looked like a dead man last night. I don't know what medicine this guy was fed and recovered so quickly.

"It's all right, thanks to you. Shangguan Yi's expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see anything, even if he was saved by him last night, I don't know why, he didn't have any gratitude to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao naturally heard it, but he was also free and easy, and he didn't care, after all, you hurt people and almost died, and you didn't allow people to treat you a little bit?

"What do you think?" Shangguan Yi asked rhetorically.

Lin Xiao laughed and said, "I think there is still something after all, right? The two people you killed yesterday should be in the connection, and the news they want to pass on is still on them." ”

"Then I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, it's just this bug, nothing else has been found. Shangguan Yi said a little disappointed.

Lin Xiao frowned, leaned over to watch Shangguan Yi fiddling with this insect, observed it for a while, and said with confidence: "This thing is poisonous, I'm afraid it's a kind of Gu worm, I don't know about this, I'm afraid I have to ask people from Miao Jiang to participate and see what this is." I'm afraid, I'm afraid, and the result that I have worked hard to find out is just a means for others to fight the enemy, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Shangguan Yi thoughtfully fiddled with the insects and did not speak. He obviously had a little idea in his mind, and Lin Xiao immediately shut up, so as not to disturb his thoughts.

After a while, Shangguan Yi seemed to think of something and asked him, "Was there anything unusual last night?"

"There are a lot of strange things, there is a person who died on the side of Xi Mowei, the same person you stared at that night, and the way of death is as strange as those before it. In a way, this cleared their suspicions a little, and before they didn't die, I started to fan the flames and arouse suspicion. You did it, that man's death. There was a little disagreement in Lin Xiao's tone.

"Yes, I did. Shangguan Yi admitted it very dryly, and then explained his motives: "In this way, it can be basically confirmed that Xi Mowei has no antidote in his hands and even they are basically outcasts, the Demon Sect has no intention of taking them away when he puts them in that position, and the same is true for other people who perform the same task, what kind of achievements they can make, or whether they can go back alive depends on their own creation." So we don't make sense to target them, just find an opportunity and deal with them all. ”

Lin Xiao was also a little speechless when he heard this, yes, Shangguan Yi was right, those people were actually not important. The dispensable pieces were released to make them think they had caught the tail, but in fact, maybe those pieces didn't know as much as he did, but they managed to divert their attention and buy time for their real move.

"Then what is their real purpose?" Lin Xiao looked solemn.

"How do I know?" Shangguan Yi rolled his eyes, and said angrily, he was not the roundworm in the stomach of the person who arranged the plan, how could he guess the overall plan of the other person when he knew a little information?

"Is there anything else unusual?" Shangguan Yi changed the subject and continued to ask.

Lin Xiao glanced at him with disdain, and then continued: "Don't you just want to hear about your achievements last night?" Of course, someone in the north of the village smelled a trace of blood when they passed by that neighborhood this morning, so they went over to take a look out of curiosity, and then found the two corpses. ”

"Have you carefully looked through the clothes of those two corpses?" Shangguan Yi asked.

When Lin Xiao said this, he was a little proud, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Of course, don't look at who I am, the number one person, I'm good at autopsy or something." After they cordoned off the scene, they immediately invited me over to see the cause of death and the wounds of the two men. It's not that I said, you are so ruthless, that boxer was pierced by you and pierced into a hornet's nest, and the sword of the swordsman was also cut off by you, and the person was almost cut in half by you. ”

"How can you say such an exaggeration, it's too much. Shangguan Yi raised his fist in warning.

Lin Xiao put away his smile and said a little cautiously: "You be careful of the very handsome guard in the Zhen Dynasty's forces, he is not simple." ”

"Why is it not a simple method?" Shangguan Yi saw that he was so cautious, and he also became serious.

"He deduced some real information about you based on just a few traces of the scene, as well as the cause of the wound, the move. is really a very powerful person, I used to underestimate him. Don't go out if you don't recover from your injuries, don't use that night's moves during this time, be careful to be recognized by him, and be careful when you go to other places to do things in the future, he and you are not in the pool, I have a hunch that you will meet again, I don't know if you are friend or foe. Lin Xiao's mother-in-law said, but she also had a little concern in it.

Shangguan Yi nodded, indicating that he knew, secretly remembering this matter in his heart, and then asked Lin Xiao another thing: "Are there any of those two dead people whose clothes are made of splendid embroidery, and a little less." ”

Lin Xiao nodded in surprise: "Yes, that boxer's underwear is brocade, which is a good kind, but the cuffs are broken a little, I thought it was broken during the fight, you ask this, I'm afraid there is another mystery? That guy also said that the gap may be the key point, and it is recommended to search for the piece of clothing that is missing, but it was rejected by the commander of the Zhen Dynasty." It's a shame that their commander is a fool, otherwise if you let that kid look up, maybe he will find out about you. ”

Shangguan Yi turned the insect over, looked at the stripes on its stomach and said: "I may know what it is, the "Naturalist" records that there is a kind of insect that usually feeds on plants and trees, but likes to eat brocade, and its eating method is very strange, you must eat a small piece of brocade completely, compress it into the stomach pouch, and then slowly digest it, this process will last about three days. Along with it is a story about the use of this insect to transmit information, and this insect is called Jinmoth. I thought it was a strange talk at the time, and it didn't match the truth, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but I didn't expect that there really were such bugs. ”

"I've read that story too, but I remember that the worm in the Naturalist is not the same as it, and the other book says that the brocade moth is non-poisonous. Lin Xiao is actually a well-read and well-remembered guy, and when he heard Shangguan Yiyi, he immediately questioned it.

"It is true that brocade moth is originally non-toxic, but people are not necessarily non-toxic. The people of Miao Jiang have a lot of Gu cultivation methods, and many Gu insects are non-poisonous, but they have been cultivated by those who have a tendency to make a terrible appearance. The Demon Cult must have a similar method, so they are able to deliver messages in such a way that we can't think of, and even do it right under our noses, we may not even know it. Shangguan Yi gritted his teeth and said his guess, he remembered some clues he had found before, and now that he thought about it, he was simply being treated as an idiot.

Lin Xiao thought about this possibility for a moment, and also agreed with Shangguan Yi's statement that this insect was a mutant insect of Jinmoth, and threw out the most critical question: "Then how do you plan to take out the information in it?"

Whether their guess is right or not, or what this bug is, as long as they can get useful information from it, that's enough. The question is how?

After hesitating for a moment, Shangguan Yi said tentatively: "Squeeze its stomach pouch?"

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes and complained: "Brother, look at what the silver needle in your hand looks like? You told me to squeeze its stomach pouch with your hands? Unless you have a baby that can isolate toxins, I'm afraid that you and I won't see the sun tomorrow." ”

What he said is a little rougher, but there is still a reason, what is the poison of insects, I don't know yet, it's not easy to control the force with other things, in case you die, you can only dissect, maybe the thing will be corroded. Pinch with your hands... There is no little glove that is not invaded by ten thousand poisons, and he really doesn't have the courage, Lin Xiao is afraid of death, and he is also afraid of Shangguan Yi's death. There are three people in the room, one is the shadow that basically doesn't come out, and the other two are him and Shangguan Yi, no matter which one dies, Lin Xiao is a dead end.

"Cut, the bolder you get, the younger you get, give me a good look, see how I pinch it, step back, I know it in my heart. Shangguan Yi mocked Lin Xiao with disdain, and then repelled his hand to stop him, so he used two fingers to pinch the stomach of the insect from both sides and squeezed it gently.

Lin Xiao's face turned pale when he watched this scene, but the next scene directly made him jump up and hide behind Shangguan Yi.

Because the bug felt very uncomfortable, and then spat out the venom, and as its head swayed wildly, the venom splashed everywhere.

Shangguan Yi hurriedly pressed its head, so that it could only spit in the porcelain plate.

"Are you in the wrong place?" Lin Xiao asked a little frightened.

"No, this place should be its stomach pouch, yes. Shangguan Yi looked determined.

"Then why does it keep spraying venom, the people of the Demon Sect can stand it, I'm afraid you didn't hold down its poison sac!" Lin Xiao questioned.

Shangguan Yi quietly squeezed in another place, and said seriously: "Don't they all say that the masters of the Demon Sect are invulnerable to fire and water, and they are invulnerable, maybe people are also immune to toxins." ”

Lin Xiao's forehead was bruised, and he endured it and didn't slap it on this serious nonsense stinky boy, that kind of statement is all a lie to a child, is it good? Who still believes in spicy when you grow up? Do you still use this kind of thing to coax me? When my IQ is on the same level as a three-year-old child? I believe you are a ghost, you little fart child is very bad!

Shangguan Yi naturally didn't know that Lin Xiao was complaining about him frantically in his heart, and it was not appropriate to know that he was not serious, anyway, at most the level of a four-year-old, it was not interesting to worry about him.

Suddenly, the worm spat out a small piece of brocade material, and then lay sick and motionless in the porcelain plate.

Shangguan Yi casually threw it back into the silver bottle, and said triumphantly: "Look, isn't this just pinched out with your hands? ”

The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth twitched, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, the ghost knows what kind of kung fu you practiced, your recovery ability is so strong, maybe the poison resistance is super high to dare to play like this, if we dare to learn from you to pinch it with your hands, we don't know how to die, and how many lives I am afraid is not enough.

"Alright, don't make it bad, let's see what kind of name this is. Lin Xiao said angrily.

"It's a little hard, I'm afraid. Shangguan Yi took out the piece of brocade and frowned slightly. When the brocade is unfolded, it looks like there is nothing on it, and the imaginary handwriting does not appear on it.

Lin Xiao leaned over to take a look at it and said, "Why don't you wash off the venom on it first?"

The brocade is covered with an unknown liquid, and it is not known whether it is poisonous or not. Shangguan Yi naturally knew that this was Jinji's stomach acid, and it was trying to digest this piece of food, but it was very troublesome to explain to Lin Xiao, and he didn't necessarily understand what stomach acid was, so he simply washed this thing as he said, and then dried it with internal force and put it on another clean plate.

"It really doesn't look like there's anything, could it be that it's too late to take it out, causing the things on it to be digested?" Lin Xiao was a little puzzled, but as he spoke, he himself was a little unconvinced that this was the result, shaking his head, looking at this thing from various angles.

"If you think about it from another angle, if you want to design something to attach to the brocade to convey the message, it does not dissolve in water and water-like things, and will not be digested by the brocade, what is the thing to choose? Terrible. Lin Xiao muttered, thinking of a possibility, with a hint of admiration and surprise in his tone.

"Liulimo, what is that, what's the use?" Shangguan Yi had never heard of this, nor had he seen a similar record in a book, so he suddenly became curious.

"It was a kind of ink, I had seen in a very old book, and the handwriting written in this ink could only be seen through the clear glass, which had to be seven colors. I haven't seen much of this kind of ink, and I don't know how it's made, maybe some big forces with a long tradition will have its production method, such as the Demon Cult. Lin Xiao said this in a voice of admiration, which was a tribute to the wisdom of his predecessors.

"So, do you have seven-colored colored glass?" Shangguan Yi mercilessly pulled him out of his memory, and poured a basin of cold water down, and Lin Xiao's angry eyes were just gone.

Lin Xiao was incompetent and furious for a while, and had to be defeated, and said helplessly: "I really have this, but you have to keep it secret for me, so you can't tell anyone about this thing." ”

Shangguan Yi nodded cautiously, anyway, he didn't know who the "other person" Lin Xiao was talking about, and it didn't matter if he promised him.

Lin Xiao thought that he had received Shangguan Yi's promise, and took out a short stick-like thing from his arms with confidence, about as long as his palm, the point is that it has a pendant, the size of the palm, shaped like a lotus mirror, the material is like glass, the color is colorful, and there are tassels below, which is very good-looking.

Shangguan Yi could also guess that this thing was the seven-colored glass he said, but his focus suddenly ran to the thing he was holding, this should be one of his secret weapons, it seems that this young man has not been real before.

"This is the seven-colored glass.,Speaking of which, the seven-colored glass is also a baby.,Well,The baby necessary for killing people and setting fires.,You don't have it.。 Lin Xiao touched the clear and transparent glass and said a little puzzled.

Shangguan Yi snorted coldly and asked him to hurry up. I know my own family affairs, except for Mo Qianliu's friendship grant and the wealth left by the old man, he basically belongs to the situation of having nothing, how can he have seven-colored glass, and if he has it, he will not carry it with him. As for why the seven-colored glass is a necessary treasure for killing people and setting fires, he doesn't know, and he won't ask. If you ask, you will leave him behind, and you have to let him not see through himself.

Lin Xiao didn't say much, and took the brocade and looked through the seven-colored glass.

"Sure enough, I'm really a genius, and I can't be overwhelmed at all!"

"This, what? It's almost laid out?"

"Please decide on the date of the net?

Listening to him shouting and screaming there, it was Shangguan Yi's turn to have bruises on his forehead, and he couldn't bear it anymore, he slapped him on the head and roared: "Be quiet for me, why are you so uncalm?

Then Shangguan Yi snatched the things in his hand and began to look at the contents of the brocade, which was roughly like this:

The set-up has been going well these days, and some key positions have been laid out according to plan.

The dark passage may have been discovered.

Li Hua and Lin Xiao may have discovered our whereabouts.

Lin Xiao hugged a crockpot today, he didn't know what was inside, he was in a hurry, and he was a little suspicious.

We will be ready and waiting for the net to be closed, so please confirm the date of the net collection.

Shangguan Yi looked over one by one, and saw that in the end, he suddenly returned to the original one: "some key positions", what does this key position refer to?

He exchanged glances with Lin Xiao and said at the same time, "The location is good!"

"To do great things must be based on the right time and place, the three are indispensable, the time is chosen by them, the people are arranged by them, and the location is also decided by them, then it is really impossible to turn the tables, and we have to find a way to find these key positions they said, and dismantle their layout. Shangguan Yi's expression was serious.

"But, the devil knows what kind of place they are talking about, this broken village is so big!" Lin Xiao questioned.

This is indeed a serious problem.

"No matter how big it is, there will always be something about that place that will draw us all to it, it will hold all of us, it will be able to be a burial place for all of us. Shangguan Yi said the back, the more he spoke, the slower he became, and finally almost word by word.

Shangguan Yiyue said, the more Lin Xiao was a little trembling and excited, yes, it would be much easier to follow this clue to find a suitable place, and even he now had a few places in his mind that met the conditions.

The two discussed it again, and made an appointment with the details of the meeting later, and Lin Xiao took his leave.

He came under the banner of alleviating the contradictions between Fu Changan and their camp, touting the importance of Fu Changan in various ways, saying as if he would push Fu Changan to the opposite side if he didn't come, and then they would lose, fooling them into limp, so they came to visit and communicate with each other without any flaws, but they couldn't stay too long.
