099 The Jungle
Lin Xiao did not answer.
But his default expression was enough to tell the story.
Lu Xingyao can't say that he knows the world, and he feels that he can see some things hidden behind it.
The clues presented in front of her were quite obvious, Xiao Ling got a special bronze mirror that should not have been obtained by a disciple of her level, and the demon beast bones in the bronze mirror bewitched her, she tried to fuse the mirror spirit to get immortality, and then defected from the sect and came here. It seems that the one who started it was the bone, but when there was another situation in which the mirror somehow avoided the inspection of the higher levels and let it fall into her hands, that is, joined this fourth party, it could not be seen as such.
For example, why did they choose Yuncheng, why did no disciples of the Jin Immortal Sect appear after discovering the mutation here, even if they couldn't escape from the world, but the person who controlled it behind the scenes must have known the power of the bronze mirror, and why didn't he track it down here.
Lin Xiao would offer to hide it, which meant that he knew that no one would be able to confirm who had completed the task in this city.
It just needs to be done later without overdoing it.
It is not so much that he is using these people who have come to complete the task to achieve his goal of getting out of Xiao Ling's control, it is better to say that he was actually using Xiao Ling's escape from the Jin Immortal Sect before, so that he was also out of control.
Thinking about it this way, the most pitiful thing is Xiao Ling, who was actually a monster when he first saw him.
And Lin Xiao's indifference and calmness is not so much that he really has no emotional ups and downs, but that as an instrument spirit, he has come up with the best choice after weighing the pros and cons.
He Yan didn't understand the meaning of Lu Xingyao's sudden question, but obviously Jiang Hechen understood.
However, judging from his expression, he didn't mean to judge Lin Xiao's behavior, after all, to put it bluntly, cultivating immortals is fighting with the sky, especially for machine spirits, in the case of their own insecurity, there is no use or use, even between people There is inevitably such a confrontation.
But in this way, he was a little hesitant to persuade Lu Xingyao to keep this mirror.
I have to say that although this little guy is young and his strength is insufficient, at least when he first saw that she actually found that place unexpectedly, he didn't really think of her as important, but she was far more decisive than ordinary men, plus the attack that obviously hid something, he felt that it was completely necessary to make friends, at least after another two or three years, it was really hard to say whose combat effectiveness was higher.
And the hidden dangers behind this mirror are obviously an extra layer, which is inevitably a little out of place for a genius like her who is still growing.
"Do you still want to keep him?"
Although He Yan didn't understand the causal connection, judging from the expressions of Jiang Hechen and Lu Xingyao, it was enough to show that it was not an ordinary problem.
"Stay, why not?"
Lu Xingyao really sympathized with Xiao Ling, and he didn't mean to give this mirror spirit such a ridiculous reason as the so-called involuntary self-refuge, but a thing with constraints was much more controllable for her than a free and unrestrained thing, especially when she was not alone in the scene, this kind of safety was guaranteed.
The law of the jungle is the same in the interstellar era, and it is the same in the world of cultivating immortals.
And a mirror spirit with brains and strength is much better for her than an instrument spirit who is too stupid and sweet, or who makes claims at will without understanding human feelings.
"What more than to hide your presence?"
When Lu Xingyao asked, he thought that he probably needed to hide some things about this mission, whether it was the publisher of this mission or Bo Yan.
Of course, the less people know about Lin Xiao's existence, the better, Jiang Hechen and He Yan's character has nothing to say, as long as it does not involve their safety, she feels that there is no reason for the two of them to confess her. And it's easy to fool that city lord, to put it bluntly, he's just a mortal, take him to see the scene left by the ancestral hall after the battle, and you can convince him by talking about a demon, even if there are monks coming in the future, Xiao Ling's mutation is indeed equivalent to changing from a human to a demon, and this can be shown in the qi left in that place.
As for Bo Yan, although it is a little psychologically uncomfortable to lie to the senior sister no matter what she thinks, but the person who is hidden in the dark, if Lin Xiao makes up her mind and doesn't say it, she doesn't have the ability to read minds, and she can't say if it's a dangerous existence, there are many ways to get information without cutting out people's brains in the immortal cultivation world, and Bo Yan may still cause trouble for her if she knows.
"Fix this bronze mirror as soon as possible. Lin Xiao pointed to the bronze mirror on the table, which had been thrown out by Lu Xingyao without hesitation.
"The longer the mirror is damaged, the more strength will fall, there is no storage space inside the mirror, Xiao Ling's puppet is actually placed in another place through the channel of mirror communication, that place is not accessible by ordinary means, if the strength of the mirror drops to a certain extent, this channel is disconnected, and the puppet you want may not be able to get it. ”
It's hard to say whether what he said is true or not, but it is true that this sentence poked at her weakness.
Even if he wasn't as pure as he appeared, she had to believe this time.
"This is no problem, I will find a way to fix it as soon as possible. ”
"Then I don't have anything else to say. ”
As he said this, he got up and approached Lu Xingyao.
It was obviously a phantom, but when his fingers touched her wrist, there was still a cold temperature coming from this touch interface, and the next moment, the mirror spirit phantom disappeared, and there was a red string on her wrist with a brass bead tied to it.
"I'm here for the time being. Lin Xiao's voice came from the beads, "When the bronze mirror is repaired, I will transfer it back directly." ”
After saying this, he was completely silent, and the bead that shook slightly with the movement of Lu Xingyao's wrist looked the same as the bronze mirror with two fragments, one large and one small, in her hand at this time.
Although no one might recognize it, she pushed the bracelet into her sleeve.
In between these movements, the cut on her arm, although it had been scabbed over by the monk's physical condition, still looked like some shocking scars were exposed.
Lu Xingyao's face suddenly froze, and when she said it, should she still think of a way to make an excuse for these injuries.
After all, fighting with demons doesn't cause such injuries that seem like self-harm.
