Chapter 4: Reverse Scales

“...... The sunset sinks over the wilderness, and the meteor falls on the empty mountain where no one is,

The spirit flies over the silent sea, and the weeping west wind is with it.

Sadness is the shadow of falling flowers, sorrow wanders with the white clouds,

The evergreen trees have withered, and the rivers have dried up.

I held Beidou in the palm of my hand and returned to my hometown by moonlight......

Helan Changjue sang in a low voice under the Tianlai tree, and the desolate singing was like a bleak north wind, blowing a chill in everyone's heart.

Yan Mei was absent-minded, listening to the elegy as she watched the crowd - thousands of men and women dressed in white surrounded the pale giant tree, as cold as the snow of winter.

Most of the mourners were students of Tianhaobai. The old Taoist teacher's teaching career is very long, and among the students are both nearly eighty old men and early ten year olds, from Heavenly Daoists and Douting Star Officials to obscure hermits in the rivers and lakes......

Many outliers also attended, in addition to the singing Yingzhao, there are also many golden cat ghosts. The peony floats in the air as if it were none of its business, the tentacles of the emperor fall down, looking a little listless, the old kuilong is recovering from his injuries, and the newborn tail is like a baby's arm, and the creation pen hangs from the treetops without moving, making people suspect that it is napping.

In order to clean up the mess left by Tianzong and me, the school palace was closed for more than two months, and all the students left the school, and they did not return one after another until seven days ago. The funeral was postponed again and again, but when the obituary was issued, the enthusiasm of the world still surprised Dou Ting. In order to attend the funeral, the Yingzhao Wang couple stayed in Yujing for two months for the first time, because Tianhaobai had given the Yingzhao clan great help.

"We really want to repay him, but we haven't had the chance," Helan said bitterly, "and now the only thing I can do is sing an elegy for him at the funeral." ”

Yingzhao's voice is very suitable for singing elegy, which evokes many memories of Yan Mei. The sound of the sky was as white as yesterday, and the girl's heart tingled, and faint sobs came from all around, like a thin gossamer, woven into a huge cocoon shell to wrap her—

The world's mourning for Tian Haobai has become the most powerful weapon of the emperor's life, and it is simply invincible to sweep away dissidents.

"We must inherit the will of the Heavenly Dao Master and continue to hold on to the demons," Huang Shili said generously, standing under the tree, his golden white hair absorbing enough sunlight and shining like an energized filament, "Only by concentrating the vitality on the tip of the pen can we write powerful spells." We must give the Dou Court greater authority, gather all the forces of the Taoists, speak with one voice, act with one attitude, any behavior that disrupts order is not allowed, any sensationalism should be erased, and any selfish figure should be spurned by the people......" Speaking of this, the White King looked at the opponent in the front row, his eyes blazing, and he meant something.

Yan Xuanji was indifferent, and his face was full of confusion. Yan Mei sometimes suspects that when her mother died, she also took away some of his primordial gods, and the Heavenly Daoist of the Vermilion Bird people was left with a body dragging the remnant soul. She still remembers her mother's funeral, when her father stood in front of the coffin and stared at his wife's face for a long time, the sun shining on her, his face pale and transparent, his white mourning clothes fluttering in the breeze, and at that moment, he lost his human silhouette and turned into a pile of burned-out white ashes. He was no longer staring at his wife, but at the endless abyss, and no matter how hard he tried, he could never see what he wanted.

At the end of the funeral, everyone took turns to walk to the Tianlai Tree and took a pen to write down the "Mirror Flower Talisman". Plain white "flowers" bloom under the trees, thousands, snow-white. These illusory flowers symbolize the impermanence of life, they will stay for a moment, and then quietly disappear, without residual flowers and fallen leaves, as if they had never appeared in the world.

Yan Mei wrote "Mirror Flower", her heart was unusually heavy, she turned around slowly, and found that her father was waiting in the distance. She stepped forward and passed by an old woman, who glared at her angrily and spat at her.

The girl fled in confusion, quickly bypassing the crowd and coming to her father's side. The deterrence of the Heavenly Dao was still effective, Yan Xuanji's surroundings were empty, and although the mourners had a bad eye, no one dared to step forward to provoke.

"Why do they hate us?" Yan Mei was angry as she looked at the crowd, "It's like they've been clean all their lives and have never made any mistakes." ”

"It doesn't matter what they think, what matters is what you're thinking," Yan Xuanji looked back at her daughter, "You have to remember that people don't just live for others. ”

Yan Mei looked at her father and blurted out: "But you live for your mother!"

A shadow passed over the Heavenly Daoist's face, and he stiffened his head and looked at the treetops fixedly, as if to say to himself: "She is no one else, she is me, she will always be a part of me." ”

"Dad......" Yan Mei felt inexplicable sadness, lying on her father's shoulder, tears bursting out of her eyes.

Huang Shili ended his conversation with King Yingzhao and strode over, followed by Yuan Maigu and Wu Shi. Yan Mei hurriedly wiped away her tears, straightened up, and glared at the three of them. Huang Shili glanced at her and asked Yan Xuanji, "Is there any news from Yuanzhu?" Yan Xuanji was silent for a moment and said, "No." ”

"You have to hurry!" the White King raised an eyebrow, "time is running out. ”

"What do you want to say?" Yan Xuanji looked at the other party coldly.

"Anything can happen in Hell," said Huang Shili, "and I can't guarantee it.

Yan Mei's heart was on fire, and when she took a step, Yan Xuanji stretched out her hand to stop her, and said slowly: "Huang Shili, do you know what the consequences are?"

"I don't care," Huang Shili smiled, "Whatever you do, I have a way to deal with it." ”

"Conceit does not win wars. Yan Xuanji's voice was low.

"If there is a war, I will lose a lot, you will lose everything. Huang Shili's gaze turned to Yan Mei, "I'm curious, you have been depressed for half your life after losing a wife, if you lose your daughter, what will you become?"

"Huang Shili, you ......" Yan Mei's angry scolding was forced back by his father's gaze before he could say anything.

"I'm sorry. Yan Xuanji looked directly into the eyes of the White King.

"Regret what?"

"I'm sorry you lost your son," the owner of Nanming Island sighed, "but I know you don't care. ”

Huang Shili's sneer froze on his face, he nodded, and silently turned and walked away. Wu Shi hesitated for a moment and hurriedly followed, but Yuan Maigu stood still, and the smile on his face was very kind: "Lord Dianyu, regarding the Elephant Snake Yuanzhu, if there is anything that needs to be despicable, I will do my best to help." ”

"I need information," Yan Xuanji stared at Yang Xingxing, "Do you know where to find the information on the 'Elephant Snake Yuanzhu'?"

"What about this...... "Yuan Mai Gu looked embarrassed, "this matter is in charge of Jingjia." ”

"I asked him," Yan Xuanji said coldly, "and his answer was very vague. ”

"Vague?"

He said that the Dao Soul Arsenal may have had information on Yuan Zhu, but it was destroyed in the explosion of the Arsenal. ”

"It's very likely," Yuan Maigu nodded repeatedly, "Since the time of Dao Ancestor, the 'Elephant Snake Yuan Zhu' has been Ziwei's absolute secret. If it weren't for this accident, I wouldn't have known that Yuanzhu was hiding under the Heavenly Lake. ”

"I've consulted all the materials in Armillary Sky City, including the ancient fragments of the Dao Soul Arsenal. Yan Xuanji said.

"How's that?" Yang Xingxing asked with concern.

"Nothing," a subtle hint of frustration flashed in the Heavenly Daoist's eyes.

"It's a shame. Yuan Maigu sighed.

"Fortunately, there is another place, and there may be clues. ”

"Where?" said Yuan Maigu.

"Abyss, Soul Chamber!"

Yuan Maigu raised his eyebrows and looked back: "I'll let Le give you a reading charm at that time." ”

"No," Yan Xuanji raised a piece of talisman paper, "I already have it." ”

"Great," Yuan Maigu touched his beard, "good luck." ”

"You're welcome," Yan Xuanji smiled, "Yang Xing, are you idle?"

"Oh," Yuan Maigu shrugged awkwardly when he heard the meaning of the eviction, "That's right, there are a few old friends waiting for me. ”

Yan Mei looked at Yuan Maigu's figure, bit her lip, and said softly: "If he is playing with you, he is Huang Shili's lackey." They don't want you to find Yuanzhu at all, and the information is likely hidden by them. ”

"Without the information of the snake, there is no way to start," Yan Xuanji lowered his head and muttered, "Huang Shili is not wrong, we are running out of time." ”

"Anyway, you made Huang Shili deflated," the girl's eyebrows fluttered, "and when he left, how ugly and ugly that face would be." ”

"I sincerely feel sorry for him," Yan Xuanji smiled slightly wryly, "Huang Shili's son is innocent. ”

"Huang Qin never showed up again," Yan Mei groaned, "it's like he's disappeared from the world." ”

"Become my puppet of the Heavenly Sect...... It didn't taste good. Yan Xuanji turned around and walked forward.

"Are you going to the Soul Chamber?" the girl caught up with her father, "I'll accompany you." ”

"No, I want to go in alone. ”

"According to the rules, you have to have two people to enter. ”

"Listen," Yan Xuanji turned around and looked at her daughter sternly, "I don't want you to meddle in the snake's affairs, this matter is beyond your ability." Until you really grow up, I want you to be quiet. ”

"What does it mean to really grow up? I've grown up. Yan Mei shouted loudly, attracting many Taoists to stop and watch.

"Restrain your emotions," Yan Xuanji said in a deep voice, "Impulsiveness doesn't solve the problem. ”

"I don't have ......"

"Really?" the Heavenly Daoist's eyes flickered, "If you can restrain yourself, you won't fall into the trap of the Heavenly Sect." If it weren't for you, Fang Fei wouldn't have caused a big disaster. You have an unshirkable responsibility for this catastrophe. ”

"I ......" Yan Mei was speechless, suffocating slightly.

"That's it," Yan Xuanji turned and walked away, "You can go back by yourself, or you can stay and wait for me." ”

Her father's words pierced her heart, revealing Yanmei's most painful scar and forcing her to face the cruel reality. In fact, she has always blamed Fang Fei's fault on herself, if she doesn't fight with Wu Shi, if she doesn't blindly want to prove herself, if she doesn't have so conceited...... However, if she didn't have these, she wouldn't be Yan Mei.

All the weaknesses of the girl are within the calculation of Tianzong. Yanmei looked back on the past thousands of times, only to find that she was dismayed to find that she would still do the same thing, like a train that arrived on time, always on the same track.

The crowd around me became scarce, and cool water vapor wafted in front of me. Yan Mei came back to her senses and found that the Heavenly Lake was close at hand, the lake was refilled with water, and the dungeon at the bottom of the lake had been repaired. The lake was deserted, devoid of any living creatures, the water was cut off from the sun, and the bottom of the lake was like the eyes of a dead man, cold and cold, silently staring at the sky.

Yan frowned, looking at the dead lake, feeling the coldness to the bone.

"Whew!," overheard someone say, "this is a forbidden area, and idlers are not allowed to approach it." The voice was low and familiar, Yan Mei turned his head sharply, and shouted in surprise: "Du Fenglie!"

The female tiger detective stood not far away, dressed in mourning white, looking a lot thinner, but shrewd and capable as always.

Yan Mei rushed forward, grabbed her arm, smiled and shook twice, and suddenly cried again. The female tiger detective was surprised at first, then sighed, silently took her into her arms, and let her whimper and burst into tears.

After a long while, Yan Mei calmed down, felt embarrassed, broke free from Du Fenglie's arms, rubbed his eyes and asked, "When were you discharged from the hospital?"

"It's been a few days," Du Fenglie smiled, "I really didn't expect to see you cry in my life." Yan Mei's face was hot, and she said softly: "I'm sorry, I haven't had a chance to see you." ”

"It's okay, I'm hard by nature," Du Fenglie put away his smile, "I heard about you, and unfortunately, I couldn't help you." Yan Mei didn't want to talk about the past, and looked back at Tianhu: "Is the hundred-headed dragon still below?"

"That's right!" Du Fenglie furrowed his eyebrows, "That guy is so powerful, he has to wake up several times." Hey, don't look at the cell so sturdy, it's going to wake up, it's almost like paper. ”

"Will it wake up?" Yan Mei was a little worried.

"It's difficult!" the female tiger detective waved her hand, "We have installed a few Taoist instruments in the prison and played the Song of Divine Silence on a loop to ensure that it is always in a state of 'eternal silence'. I can't help but say that this is the best way to deal with it, Fang Fei has made a great contribution, if it weren't for him, the hundred-headed dragon would be able to turn Yujing upside down. ”

But that doesn't cancel his sins. The girl said gloomily, "He has gone to Hell." ”

"The situation in Heavenly Hell is a bit complicated," Du Fenglie lowered his head and muttered, "I know Pei Qianniu, that guy is ruthless, but he will take care of the overall situation. The one to really watch out for is Wu Tang. ”

"Wu Tang?"

"Wu Shi's younger brother, Pei Qianniu's deputy," Du Fenglie looked at the girl seriously, "To be honest, I think Fang Fei is in danger." ”

Yan Mei's heart sank, and many terrible thoughts popped up in her mind, she stared at the female tiger detective and looked at it, and suddenly asked, "Why are you telling me this?"

"I want to take you to meet a few people," Du Fenglie pursed his lips, "Maybe it will help you." ”

"Now?"

"It's nearby. Du Fenglie smiled, "Are you coming?"

"Nearby?" Yan Mei was puzzled, and followed Du Fenglie for a while, and the female tiger detective stopped and said, "It's here." Yan Mei looked up and said in surprise, "Haolu?"

Tianhaobai's former mansion was in front of him, Du Fenglie stepped forward, raised his hand and knocked on the door gently, Yan Mei couldn't help but ask: "Du ......"

"Shh," Du Fenglie lowered his voice, "Don't make a sound, there is someone behind." ”

Yan Mei was stunned for a moment, and entered the "Divine Reading", and sure enough, she heard a slight heartbeat from the bushes twenty meters away, and there was more than one person. She took a deep breath and resisted the urge to turn back, but suddenly heard a creaking sound, the door of the house opened, and her green eyes kept turning.

"I'm Du Fenglie. The female tiger detective was calm, "I made an appointment with the mountain master. ”

Bi Wuxin opened the door, he didn't see it for many days, the tree spirit had a sad face, and the branches and leaves on his head were also withered and wilted, it looked at Du Fenglie, and looked at Yan Mei hesitantly.

"Don't worry," Du Fenglie saw the tree spirit's thoughts, "She's her own." ”

The dryad nodded silently, rustling aside. When the two entered the courtyard, Yan Mei saw at a glance the antiquities on the museum shelf, the porcelain concubine nested in the corner, blindly sighing for a long time, Mrs. Qing's tears became beads in strings, falling on the white porcelain vase, turning into a pale cyan stream, headless and tailless, like a turn, flowing; the old merchant was lifeless, and the patina was even darker; General A held his helmet and knocked on the partition boredly, and the jade horse beside him knelt half-kneeling with his front hooves, and his mouth let out a mournful low sound.

"What's wrong with them?" Yan Mei asked.

"After the Heavenly Dao Master left, they became like this. Bi Wuxin looked at the museum shelf sullenly, "It's like losing your soul." ”

Yan Mei was stunned in her heart, and silently walked through the porch. The living room was surprisingly quiet, the toads and crows were missing, the calligraphy and paintings on the walls were also very honest, the words shook gently, as if floating in the water, and the characters in the paintings were walking around, their demeanor stiff, their movements slow, and they were a large group of zombies who had lost their souls.

The atmosphere in the room was depressing, Yan Mei felt uneasy, and asked in a low voice, "Du Fenglie, did you make an appointment to meet here?"

"Tian Haobai left Haolu to the mountain rotten rocks, and now he lives here," Du Fenglie smiled, "but looking for him is just an excuse." ”

"Excuses?"

"Yes! ”

"Why are you here?" Yan Mei said sullenly, "Where did the mountain rotten rocks go? Isn't he at home?" Du Fenglie took out a brush and pointed to the painting "Qingming Riverside Picture": "He is there." ”

"What are you kidding?" Yan Mei glanced at the long scroll of ink and looked at the female tiger detective in confusion. The tip of Du Fenglie's pen twisted, flashing a line of runes, instantly lighting up the picture. The blue light of "Qingming Riverside Picture" skyrocketed, and the water of the Bianhe River on the painting suddenly burst the embankment, pouring on the two of them.

Yan Mei didn't have time to shout, the objects in the foreground changed, dim and yellow, the ink flowed, and the surrounding area was filled with a strong smell of old paper. A person carrying a burden passed slowly in front of her, with a blurred face and strange outlines, and if you looked closely, it was actually painted in ink.

Yan Mei looked left and right, surrounded by ink figures, coming and going, stopping and walking, the long street was winding endlessly, the wine flag was waving in the wind, the houses were lined up, and a mighty river was embraced......

"Huh," someone patted her on the shoulder, "don't be stunned, let's go." Yan Mei turned around in response, but saw Du Fenglie standing behind her, beckoned to her, and walked straight to the dock.

"Where are we?" the girl caught up with the Tiger Scout.

"Inside the painting. Du Fenglie replied succinctly.

Yan Mei was taken aback: "What kind of Dao technique is this?"

"I can't tell," Du Fenglie boarded a ferry, the boat was overcrowded, and the ink figures rubbed shoulders one after another, pushing and pushing around the two, opening and closing their mouths, and scolding silently. The female tiger detective looked at them coldly, and said with annoyance: "It's all made by Tianhaobai, to be precise, this is a passage......"

"Passage?" Yan Mei looked at the soup and flowing water, "Where does it lead?"

"You'll find out right away. Du Fenglie abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, shook off the entanglement of a hawker, and walked straight into a restaurant, Yan Mei hesitated and followed.

As soon as she crossed the threshold, the heating came to her face, the color of the drawing paper disappeared, and Yan Mei stepped back into the real world. This is a room, not big or small, surrounded by polished smooth gray-blue stones, there is a red jade brazier in the center of the room, which burns strange white fire, several figures sit around the basin, hear the movement, and turn around in unison.

"Yan Mei is here," a voice quacked, "Yan Mei is here." ”

It was the insect tiger who spoke, the toad spirit squatted beside the rotten rocks of the mountain, and the fat Taoist sat on the ground, with a golden crow resting on his fat shoulders.

In addition to the mountains and rocks, most of the other people know Yanmei, Hu Qingyi, Yun Lianxia, Spider Fairy, Yu Fengcheng, Jian Huailu, Shen Tiantian...... There are also three young faces: Yu Xiaoxiao, Bei Lu, and Bei Yu.

Yu smiled and frowned, seeing Yan Mei reluctantly smiled, there was a tall old man sitting next to the Pei sisters, not young, but with brilliant blonde hair, without waiting for Yan Mei to speak, he said in a voice like a Hong Zhong: "Little girl, do you remember me? I went to Nanming Island three years ago. ”

Yan Mei nodded and said, "You are Lu Cangkong's senior, the armor supplier of Nanming Island. ”

"To be honest, your father still owes me a sum of money," Lu Cangkong looked left and right, "Okay! ”

"Come on!" Du Fenglie sat down leisurely and pointed to the vacant seat beside him, "I'm waiting for you." ”

Yan Mei looked at everyone one by one, and suddenly her heart moved, and she said, "Are you 'reverse scales'?" Everyone looked at each other, showing surprise, and Hu Qingyi asked, "How do you know?"

"The old dragon spider said," Yan Mei replied, "It said that Tian Haobai created the 'Reverse Scale', and Du Fenglie also said that the passage to come here was created by the Heavenly Dao Master, and the front and back were combined," her gaze swept over everyone, "This should be the place where the 'Reverse Scale' gathers." ”

"That old fellow with a long tongue," cursed the spider fairy in a whisper, "itches without saying anything about it." ”

"It's you who itch your mouth," Lu Cangkong blew his beard, "If you don't say it, how can the dragon spider know?"

"Whew," the spider fairy didn't care, "everyone has boring times. ”

"I said long ago that your big mouth would kill us. Lu Cangkong's roar echoed in the room.

"You're no better," the spider fairy snapped at each other, "you can't give up your share of the family business, timidly old fellow." ”

"Come on!" Lu Cangkong slapped his thigh fiercely, "In order to reverse the scales, I can give up this old life." ”

"Show me if you die," the spider fairy sneered, "who wouldn't be duplicitous?"

Lu Cangkong's eyes widened, and he was about to curse, but Shan Rotten Stone waved his hand to interrupt him: "Now is not the time to quarrel, the situation is critical, we must unite." ”

"The Heavenly Dao Master is gone, and the reverse scale has to have a head. Yun Lianxia said.

"We have to choose a new dragon head," Hu Qingyi looked directly at the fat Taoist master, "I think the mountain rotten stone is the most suitable." ”

"I don't think so," the first one to object was the fat Taoist master himself, "Fox Qingyi, you are more suitable than me." ”

"Tian Haobai left Haolu to you, indicating that he thinks you can take his place. ”

"I'm just looking over the house for him," said Yamachishi in a gruff voice, "and you know that I'm the man who hates being in charge of things. When it comes to getting things done, you're all better than me. ”

"That's right," Yu Fengcheng bowed slightly, "This is a time of crisis, and we need a shrewd and capable leader." ”

"So it's the most appropriate thing to say about Fox Qingyi," the spider fairy said mockingly, "The fox demon likes to toss." ”

"But I'm not a Taoist, I ......" Before Hu Qingyi finished speaking, Jian Huailu proposed: "Either raise your hand to vote and choose Fox Qingyi's raise hand." ”

The room raised their hands one by one, Jiuyang Jun and the insect tiger also raised their wings and small paws, Jian Huailu looked around, and said with a smile: "Except for myself, all votes!"

"You chose a monster," Hu Qingyi shook his head helplessly, "Anyway, because of Hu Baiyi, I have already resigned from my teaching position, and I am idle when I am idle, and it is okay to play with Tianzong." ”

"And the Emperor. Yu closed the city and reminded.

"He's not the first enemy. Fox Qingyi said.

"He's an idiot with a small belly. The spider fairy enthusiastically added.

"Okay," Fox Tsing Yi raised his face, "The next topic, in order to strengthen the 'Reverse Scale', after a long period of investigation, I propose to join four members. He rolled his gaze, "The first one is Yu Xiaoxiao." ”

The girl stood up and owed a shy smile to everyone, and the fox king continued: "She is the daughter of Yu Fengcheng, she has a fair and selfless character, values friendship, keeps her promises, and has been tested in the competition for the 'Kuixing Award' and the battle of the Forgotten Ruins Cave. I think she is qualified to join us, which will be of great benefit to the unity of the Eight Non-Academy. ”

"I have no opinion!" Yun Lianxia happily raised her hand, and the others also raised their hands one after another.

"Thank you!" Yu Xiaoxiao was so excited that tears rolled down, Hu Qingyi motioned for her to sit down, waved her hand and said: "Next is Bei Lu, Bei Yu, the famous two-headed dragon ......"

"Then do you need to say?" the spider fairy snapped her fingers, "I approve with both hands." ”

"They're better than an army. Lu Cangkong was also in high spirits.

"Yes!" Jian Huailu also said, "Dou Ting is about to be annoyed to death by them. ”

"So," Fox Tsing Yi looked around, "raise your hand to vote...... Oh, it's unanimous again, congratulations, Beilu, Beiyu. ”

"Thank you!" the twins grinned and high-fived each other.

"The fourth, Canglong Tiansu, a genius who comes once in twenty years, is the Canglong person who is most likely to become a Heavenly Daoist......"

"But she's not here," Lu Cangkong interrupted the Fox King, "We don't know if she's willing to join." ”

"She knows us, and is willing to join," said the spider fairy, "I asked Tian Haobai to bring her in, but the old man hesitated. ”

"Why did he hesitate?" asked Bei Yunni curiously.

"For personality reasons," said the spider fairy bluntly, "Tiansu is too unsociable. ”

"I agree with the Heavenly Dao Master on this point. Yun Lianxia looked at the rotten rocks of the mountain.

"That's right!" the fat Taoist sighed, "She's very talented, but not everyone can stand it." ”

"Okay!" said Hu Qingyi, "vote by show of hands." In the room, Lala raised three hands, which belonged to the Spider Fairy, Fox Qingyi, and Jian Huailu.

"I think," Jian Huailu explained his position, "that people should be hired with their strengths." ”

"Then Tiansu put it aside in advance," the Fox King was silent for a moment, "Actually, I have another candidate." ”

"Who?" asked Yun Lianxia.

"Canglong Fang Fei!" the fox king let out a breath.

The room fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to Yan Mei. The girl sat on pins and needles, and felt that there was an awkward atmosphere around her.

"He is responsible for Tian Haobai's death. The spider fairy broke the silence, "He still owes me a lot of money. ”

"I think he's excusable," Jian Huailu pondered, "in his situation, which of you can do better?"

After another silence, Lu Cangkong opened his mouth and said: "Even if he has extenuating circumstances, pulling him into the gang will damage the reputation of 'Reverse Scale'." ”

"Reverse Scales doesn't need reputation," said the Mountain Rotten Stone, "In order to defeat the Heavenly Sect me, we can do whatever it takes. ”

"Can absorbing Fang Fei defeat Tianzong me?" the spider fairy was aggressive with a gun and a stick.

"He's an important link," Hu Qingyi's gaze turned, "Yan Mei, you know what I'm talking about, right?"

Yan Mei met the eyes of the fox king, and suddenly her heartbeat accelerated, almost out of breath, but Hu Qingyi did not stop, and nodded at her: "I know that he has a hidden book." ”

There were waves in the room, except for Yan Mei, Hu Qingyi and Mountain Rotten Rock, everyone's faces were full of shock, this was simply a nuclear bomb, if it came out of the room, it would be enough to blow up Ziwei.

"Oh my God!" Yun Lianxia said everyone's thoughts.

"Is this true?" Jian Huailu asked himself, "Of course, I should have thought of this a long time ago. ”

"It's ridiculous," the Spider Fairy sneered, "Fang Fei's body hides the key to release Heavenly Sect me. ”

"It's ridiculous!" Lu Cangkong's face was red, "Who handed over the hidden book to him?"

"I have an idea," the spider fairy said openly, "If I kill Fang Fei, Tianzong will be trapped in the Demon Suppression Pit forever." ”

"Shut up, spider spirit," Yu Feng Cheng couldn't bear it anymore, "you don't have the power to decide whether he lives or dies." ”

"Am I wrong?" the spider fairy ignored Yan Mei's pale face, "I'm just wondering, why don't I know such an important thing as a member of the Reverse Scale?"

All eyes were on the Fox King, who said with a calm face: "In order to protect Fang Fei, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better." ”

"Why?" cried the spider fairy, "wouldn't it be better if he died?"

"It's a long story," Hu Qingyi was silent for a moment, "We have known for a long time that Tianzong is alive. There was an uproar in the house, and Yu Fengcheng asked sharply: "Who do you mean by 'we'?"

"The founder of the Reverse Scale," Hu Qingyi said calmly, "Tian Haobai, me, and Long Ji." ”

"Long Ji?" the spider fairy screamed, "I knew that she took the hidden book and gave it back to the naked worm......"

"It's not as simple as you think," Fox Qingyi glanced at the Spider Girl sternly, "As we all know, after the end of the war, the power of the 'Nine Star Demon Suppression Talisman' has not been weakened, and the Demon Suppression Pit has become a forbidden place that cannot be set foot on. This situation violates the laws of the Dharma. Generally speaking, once the purpose of the writer is achieved, the power of the charm will gradually disappear. Many people were puzzled by this, and in order to appease people's hearts, Dou Ting claimed that this was a situation unique to the 'Nine Star Town Talisman'. But Tian Haobai didn't believe it at all, he spent a lot of time studying this charm, and even ventured deep into the demon suppression pit, only to find that behind the "Nine Star Demon Suppression Talisman", there was a hidden force that could not be lifted. That is, Vorthain's spell did not serve his purpose. ”

"His purpose is to destroy the Heavenly Sect me?" Bellu asked curiously.

Hu Qingyi nodded: "Tian Haobai deduces from this that Tianzong is still alive, his evil art is on par with the 'Nine Star Town Demon Talisman', he can't break through the charm, and the charm can't destroy him." Upon learning of this conclusion, the three of us disagreed. Tian Haobai and I believe that the 'Nine Star Town Demon Talisman' will exhaust Tianzong's strength until it completely drags him down. But Long Ji doesn't think so, she thinks that Tianzong I will definitely be able to find a way to break through the spell, and when he gets out of the 'Demon Suppression Pit', he will be even stronger, before that, we must be prepared to find a new master for the hidden book in order to win the future war. Speaking of this in one breath, the fox king's face was full of bitterness, "Now it seems that she is right." ”

"It's only half right," Du Fenglie said coldly, "Tianzong, I'm only the primordial god who got out of trouble, and his physical body is still in the demon suppression pit." ”

"It's different if he gets the hidden book," the spider fairy said sourly, "Fang Fei is a living key, and Long Ji loves to be smart." ”

"At that time, the situation was urgent," Hu Qingyi said, "Huang Shili has already revealed his ambitions, and he and the remnants of the Demon Dao both want to seize the Hidden Book. Long Ji was attacked on both sides and was forced to flee with the hidden book, she fled without a trace, even me and the Heavenly Dao Master didn't know where she went, until Fang Fei came to Ziwei, we didn't know that she went to Hongchen. ”

Yan Mei couldn't help but ask, "When Fang Fei entered Ziwei, did you know that he brought a hidden book?"

"Yes," said Fox Tsing Yi, "Long Ji contacted us, using the method that the three of us knew. ”

"What did you do in the 'Eight Non-Heavenly Trials'?" Yan Mei said the question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.

"Alright!" the Fox King confessed, "I manipulated my hands and feet in 'Tianwen' to control the parrot who asked questions, and those questions were all carefully made up by us based on Fang Fei's experience. ”

"I knew you were a troublemaker," the mountain rotten stone said sullenly, "Tianhao Bai is not clean, and he proposed that the Academy Palace hire you as an examiner." ”

"This is called tacit understanding," Hu Qingyi rolled his eyes, "Cheating is such a dirty thing, and we monsters have to do it." ”

"But, but......" Bei Yu couldn't help but interject, "Why did Long Ji give the hidden book to the naked worm?"

"The Hidden Book has free will, it should be said that it chose Fang Fei. The fox king stared at the spider girl, "You know the revenge of the hidden book, right?"

"Uh-huh!" the spider fairy stiffened, "so what?"

"The Hidden Book will avenge the master, Fang Fei was killed in the Heavenly Prison, who do you say the Hidden Book will choose?"

The spider fairy hesitated slightly, and Yu Xiaoxiao shouted loudly: "Tianzong me?"

"There is no impossibility," Hu Qingyi's expression was solemn, "The idea of the hidden book is elusive, if it regards the Dou Ting of the Judge Fang Fei as an enemy, then its choice will be detrimental to the overall situation." ”

"We have to rescue Fang Fei for the sake of the hidden book," Shan Rotten Stone announced, "We can't leave him in Heavenly Hell." ”

"Yan Mei," Hu Qingyi looked directly at the girl, "we need your help." ”

"That's what I want to do," Yan Mei whispered, "but we haven't found the Elephant Snake Yuanzhu yet." ”

"Yuanzhu's substitution is a trap," Jian Huailu hit the nail on the head, "Huangshili wants your father and Tianzong to lose both." ”

"I know, but ......" Before Yan Mei could finish speaking, Hu Qingyi interrupted her and said, "We can avoid Huang Shili's trap and use an easier way." ”

"What's the solution?"

"Go to the Heavenly Hell Star and take Fang Fei away. ”

"That can't be!" Yan Mei was surprised.

"Of course it's not easy, but it's not impossible," the fox king looked directly at the girl, "we need a skyscraper." ”

"A chariot that can hide from the 'lice of Pangu'. Du Fenglie added.

"There are only three such flying cars Ziwei, one belongs to Dou Ting, which is used to transport prisoners in the Heavenly Prison, and the remaining two are in the hands of the two Heavenly Daoists. According to the law, Heavenly Dao people can set foot in any forbidden land," Fox Qingyi said meaningfully, "Yan Mei, we need your father's car. ”

"It's better to convince Yan Xuanji to join. Shen Tiantian interjected, "He can deal with those Kuafu. Yan Mei shook her head slightly: "That will detonate the war, and Dad will not agree." ”

"You're the closest person to him, you can steal that chariot out," Hu Qingyi tried to convince the girl, "It's about your life and death, as well as Ziwei's survival." ”

Yan Mei hesitated, turned a few thoughts, shook her head and said, "Just because I am his closest person, I can't live up to his trust." She raised her eyes and said faintly, "If you steal a car, it's a betrayal." ”

The room fell silent for a while, and after a long time, Du Fenglie said with a wry smile: "I said a long time ago, she won't agree." Yu Fengcheng nodded in agreement: "It's too difficult to let my daughter steal her father." ”

"Then we can only hope that Yan Xuanji will find the elephant snake Yuanzhu," Jian Huailu looked at Yan Mei, "Is there a whereabouts of Yuanzhu?"

"No," the girl shook her head in confusion, "We've searched all over Yujing, but we haven't found any information about the 'Elephant Snake Yuanzhu'. How it got out of the snake, what properties it has, what effects it has? It's all blank. Dad just went to the soul room, but he didn't have much hope. ”

"No information is a matter of course," the mountain rotten stone puffed out his cheeks, "the golden djinn is the most dangerous thing in the world, and I won't leave a message if I change it, people's hearts are unpredictable, maybe someone will use it to resurrect the snake." ”

"Like Tianzong?" asked Yun Lianxia.

"Yes!" the fat Taoist nodded repeatedly, and the crow on his shoulder also nodded, but it was napping.

"Without knowing Yuanzhu, it's hard for us to track it. Yan Mei was frustrated.

"I have an idea. Fox Qingyi said.

"What?" Yan Mei perked up.

"The Mountain Daoist is right, for security reasons, the previous generation of Daoists would rather erase the information of the Elephant Snake," the Fox King paused, "but this is just the idea of the Daoist. ”

"You mean ......," Yan Mei's eyes lit up.

"Cat ghost!" Fox Qingyi paused, "The elephant snake is the creator of the cat ghost, and despite the repeated prohibition of the Dou Ting, the cat ghost is still secretly worshipping the elephant snake." They have always dreamed of resurrecting the golden djinn, and I bet the appearance of the 'Elephant Snake Yuanzhu' has kept these big cats awake......" The Fox King touched his chin, "I also believe that no one knows the elephant snake better than the cat ghost." ”

Yan Mei's heart jumped suddenly: "Will the cat ghost record it in writing?"

"They melt the words into metal and bind them into books, which are used to record the history, regulations, spells, and wealth of the cat ghosts," Hu Qingyi licked his lips, "and there are many secrets that no one knows. ”

"Will they put 'Elephant Snake Yuanzhu' into the book?"

"I'm not sure. Except for the Taoists, cat ghosts are my most elusive creatures, and if there are such documents, they must be hidden in the most secret places. ”

"Where?"

"Treasure trove of greed!"

"Greed?" Bei Yu whistled, "they're honest enough." ”

"I've heard of this place," Lu Cangkong said loudly, "but no one has ever found it." ”

"Isn't it in the Cat Ghost Bank?" Yun Lianxia asked.

Fox Qingyi shook his head and said: "The cat ghost bank is used to keep the property of other races, and the greedy treasure house is the private property of the cat ghost, and only the cat ghost king knows where it is." ”

"We can kidnap the Seedlings Swallowing Whales," the Spider Fairy suggested.

"It's not that easy," Lu Cang glanced at her, "It hires the top Daoist as a bodyguard, I heard that Xuan Biao, the king of Qiqi, also obeys it, that guy has great powers, and he can be invisible at any time." ”

"Fox Tsing Yi can deal with it. "Spider Girl is full of heart for foxes.

"To be honest," Hu Qingyi touched his nose, "It's one thing to defeat Xuan Biao, but the movement is definitely not small." ”

"That will alarm Huang Shili," Du Fenglie said, "Don't forget, the Cat Ghost King is his financial steward." ”

"He's playing with fire, colluding with cats and ghosts to bully Taoists. Shen Tiantian said angrily.

"Yan Xuanji's move, there should be no one who can stop him. Jian Huailu suggested,

"Dad, Mingren doesn't do dark things. Yan Mei knows his father very well, "Unless he gets definite evidence that the cat ghost has the information that the snake is in possession of the Elephant Snake Bead." ”

"Miao Swallowing Whale won't tell the truth," Lu Cangkong sneered, "Cats and ghosts are geniuses who lie. ”

"Ecstasy spells are also ineffective against them," Yun Lianxia emphasized, "The cats and ghosts' hearts are indestructible, so everyone can trust them with their belongings." ”

"All the kidnapping is useless," Hu Qingyi concluded, "and we can't force Miao to confide in the whale." ”

"Heavenly Fox Dunjia can't do it?" Yan Mei had a glimmer of hope.

"No!" Fox Qingyi shook his head, "The cat ghost is one of the few guys who can resist me, otherwise I would have emptied the cat ghost bank a long time ago." ”

"Beilu, Beiyu," the mountain rotten stone muttered, "can you hack into the network of cat ghosts?"

"It's easy," Belle snapped her fingers, "but except for transfers, cats rarely use psychic nets, they are quite cautious and believe in ancient methods. ”

"Is the heart rat dancing secretly?" asked the spider fairy.

"Yes!" the twins nodded at the same time.

The white mouse carried by the cat ghost is not only a symbol of wealth, but also a kind of monster called "Taibai Heart Mouse", "Tai White Heart Mouse" has telepathy with each other, through the training of the cat ghost, the two heart mice can use telepathy to communicate accurately, and then use a set of complex body movements to relay to the cat ghost. This set of movements is also called the "Heart Mouse Secret Dance", which can only be understood by cat ghosts. The more heart mice the cat ghost has, the faster the induction speed, and the more complex and secret the meaning expressed by the "Heart Mouse Secret Dance" becomes. The Cat Ghost King has nine white mice, so he has the highest level of information communication skills, which is enough to unify the entire Cat Ghost Kingdom.

"These big cats are really invulnerable!" the spider fairy sighed heartily.

"That's what makes them so successful. Lu Cangkong shook his head helplessly.

"I don't see it that way," Jian Huailu lit Lang Huan grass, "nothing is invulnerable. ”

"Oh?" Lu Cangkong squinted at him, "What do you have in mind?" ”

"What is the biggest weakness of the cat ghost?" Jian Huailu puffed out the smoke and blew out a sneaky big cat, "greed!"

"What do you say?" Yan Mei was interested.

"As the king of cats and ghosts, Miao Swallowing Whale's greed is outstanding," Jian Huailu said leisurely, "When it has a huge treasure trove, I bet it won't want to leave there for a second." ”

"What do you mean......" Before Yan Mei finished speaking, Jiuyangjun opened his eyes and called out angrily: "Haolu is here!"

"Oh!" the rotten stone stood up, waved his pen and chanted a mantra, and the black air of the tip of the pen rushed to the wall, and a portal appeared on the stone wall, and the ink in it was unfathomable. He didn't care about it, and hurriedly stepped in, and the insect and tiger only jumped and got in.

"Let's go out too!" Du Fenglie patted Yan Mei's shoulder, got up and walked to the stone gate, Yan Mei quickly followed, and stepped into the stone gate, but he felt that it was pitch black, surrounded by coldness, and he thought that he would pass through the painting again, but he was already in the living room of Haolu. Looking back at the "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", the ancient paintings are full of people coming and going, everything is the same, and everything just experienced is like a dream.

There was a quarrel on the porch, and the branches and leaves of Bi Wuxin skyrocketed, and the green oil blocked the porch, and his mouth shouted: "What are you doing? Private houses, no trespassing." ”

Standing in the center of the living room, he bit his cigarette stick, furrowed his slender eyebrows, and suddenly said, "Bi Wuxin, let them in." ”

The dryad grunted twice, gathered up the branches, and stepped aside. Wu Shi rushed into the living room with a strained face, followed by Gong Zinan and the four tiger detectives, and he saw the three of them rolling their eyes wildly, and their sharp gaze swept over every corner.

"Dark Star," said the mountain in a deep voice, "what do you want to do?"

"It's nothing," Wu Shi squeezed out a smile, "I happened to pass by, and I came to visit the mountain master, oh, this rotten wood just won't let me." ”

"You're the rotten wood," Bi Wuxin sneered, "No, you rotten meat." ”

Wu Shi glared at the tree spirit viciously, Yan Mei took a step forward, turned around to block in front of Bi Wuxin, stared at Wu Shi with both eyes, and gently rubbed the pen with his right hand.

"Mountain Daoist," Wu Shi snorted, "your demon slave is very rude. ”

"I'm sorry!" the mountain shook his fat flesh, "it's an employee, not a slave." ”

"Du Fenglie," Wu Shi looked at the female tiger detective again, the latter held a cigarette stick, calmly swallowing clouds and spitting fog, "What are you doing here?"

"Just like you," Du Fenglie smiled, "Visit the Mountain Daoist!"

"Why are you with Yan Mei?" Wu Shi was aggressive.

"Old colleagues reminisce, what's wrong?"

"These are extraordinary times," Wu Shi said through a gritted tongue, "I want my subordinates to distance themselves from Nanming Island. ”

"Really?" Du Fenglie nodded, "I know now." ”

"Is there anything else?Wu Shi!" the mountain rotten stone ordered the eviction, "nothing else, you can go." ”

"It's not a big deal," Wu Shi walked to the rocking chair where Tianhaobai was used to sitting and sat down comfortably, "I heard that there are many secrets hidden in Haolu, after all, this is where Tianzong grew up." ”

"There's no secret," said Shan Rotten Stone coldly, "it's just an ordinary old house." ”

"Since it's ordinary, why don't you let us take a look?" Wu Shi waved his hand, and Gong Zi rushed to command the tiger detectives to scatter in all directions.

"You're searching, aren't you?" "Dare to ask me what crime I committed?" Wu Shi motioned for the Tiger Detective to stop his actions, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know the 'Reverse Scale'?"

"Dragons have reverse scales, and they will be angry when they touch them, is this common sense?"

"It's not the one on the dragon," Wu Shi smiled, "The 'Reverse Scales' I'm talking about is a secret gang, created by some Canglong people, who have been fighting against Dou Ting for many years. I tried my best to find no trace of them, every time they were rounded up, they always had a way to escape, this kind of ability is very unusual, I suspect that there is a Heavenly Daoist among them. ”

"Oh," the fat Taoist said quietly, "Do you think Tian Haobai is a 'reverse scale'?"

"No," Wu Shi's gaze swept over the crowd like a grate, "I suspect he's the leader of the 'Reverse Scales'. ”

Yan Mei was slightly startled, her expression did not escape Wu Shi's eyes, Yin Xing stood up, and her voice rose: "I still suspect that Haolu is the meeting place of the reverse scales." ”

"This is a bit ridiculous," Du Fenglie sneered contemptuously, "We are gathering here, are we all rebellious?"

"Everything is possible," Wu Shi said coldly, "I want to search Haolu." The mountain rotten stone snorted and said, "What if I refuse?"

"Mountain fatty, to reject me is to refuse Dou Ting," Wu Shi leaned close to his ear, gritting his fine white teeth and making a ruthless attack, "Don't talk about searching, as long as I want to, I can raze this place to the ground at any time." ”

"Alright!" "Okay," the chubby face of the mountain smirked, "you step on me first." Wu Shi slowly rolled his eyes and said astringently: "This is what you said......

The mountain rotten stone smiled noncommittally, but the fat on his body rose and fell like a wave, and every time he rose and contracted, it was full of strength, driving the surrounding air, stirring up strange fluctuations, and giving people the illusion that his big body could fill the living room at any time.

Yan Mei also pulled out the brush, and squinted at it, Du Fenglie frowned and pursed his lips, as if he was in a dilemma. The girl pondered the situation, not a female tiger detective, plus the monsters in the house, Wu Shi had no chance of winning. But he has his back to Dou Ting, and the support of the emperor, and now he is forced to retreat, and there are endless troubles behind him.

I was feeling a headache, and suddenly heard a voice from the porch: "Wu Shi, this is not the way to be a guest. Yan Mei couldn't help but be ecstatic, turned her head to look, her father was standing in front of the door, his figure was gloomy, when he entered Haolu, no one in the house noticed.

Seeing Yan Xuanji, the mountain rotten stone relaxed, and returned to its usual laziness. Du Fenglie also exhaled, his eyebrows stretched, Wu Shi was annoyed and angry, staring at the Heavenly Daoist with fire in his eyes: "What are you doing here?"

"Looking for my daughter!"

"Alright," Wu Shi swallowed, "you take her away." ”

"I can leave if I want to, I don't need you to say," Yan Xuanji glanced at the rotten rocks, "Wu Shi, you're looking for 'reverse scales', right?"

"It's none of your business!"

"Have you thought about it?" Yan Xuanji smiled, "Maybe I'm the leader of the 'Reverse Scales'." ”

"What?" Not only was Wu Shi stunned, but the others were also shocked.

"I'm also a Heavenly Dao Being," the Lord of Nanming Island said casually, "According to your reasoning, I am also very suspicious, you had better go to Nanming Island first and search for it." ”

"I'll go," Wu Shi stiffened his neck, "but I'll have to search Haolu first." ”

"Why?"

"Because...... Because it's closer. ”

"Come on," Yan Xuanji put away his smile, "Because Tianhao is dead, that's why you dare to do whatever you want." ”

"I said," Wu Shi cried loudly, "this matter has nothing to do with you!"

"Related! The sky is white, the mountains and the rocks are all my Taoist masters, and I will never allow anyone to spread wild in Haolu. Yan Xuanji raised his eyebrows, "You can't do it, and neither can Huang Shili." ”

The temperature in the room plummeted to freezing, and Wu Shi was cornered by Yan Xuanji's gaze, he couldn't retreat, which meant that the authority of the Dou Court was damaged, but if he held on to the end, maybe the Lord of Nanming Island would burn him to ashes with a snap of his fingers. His mind turned, and a flash of inspiration: "Yan Xuanji, don't forget Fang Fei." ”

"Is this a threat?" Yan Xuanji's pupils lit up, and Wu Shi subconsciously took a half step back, and suddenly found that his legs were stiff, and he didn't obey the call at all.

"Heavenly Dao Soul Suppression!" Wu Shi couldn't lift a finger.

"Forget it," Shan Rotten Stone touched his belly, "Yan Xuanji, you don't have to cause trouble for me." Wu Shi, if you want to search it, you can search it. ”

Yan Xuanji glanced at the fat Taoist master, nodded, and his eyes dimmed. Wu Shi got out of the predicament, gasped for breath, made a gesture, and Gong Zi was difficult to command the tiger detectives to enter different rooms, and each tiger detective conjured up a number of doppelgangers, going upstairs and downstairs, through the wall and into the ground, and for a while there were white and bright shadows everywhere.

"Jiuyang-kun, insect tiger, Bi Wuxin," the mountain rotten stone shouted, "follow them, don't let them take the sheep by the hand." The three monsters responded to the call, the golden crow flew upstairs, and Bi Wuxin and the insect tiger also patrolled everywhere.

"Mountain Fat Man," Wu Shi's eyes were on fire, "what do you think of me?"

"The heart of guarding against people is indispensable," said the mountain and the rock slowly, "being a tiger and a dog is not a matter of thought." ”

"Dead fat man......" Wu Shi was about to have a seizure, but suddenly remembered that Yan Xuanji was beside him, and glanced at the Heavenly Daoist, secretly ruthless in his heart.

Not long after, the tiger detective returned to the living room, and Gong Zinan looked depressed and whispered, "No abnormality was found." ”

Wu Shi was unwilling, his eyes swept everywhere, and when he saw the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, his heart moved, and he raised his pen and shouted: "The imperial thing is in the air." ”

There was a rustle, and the calligraphy and paintings in the living room left the wall and floated in the air. Yan Mei's heart was cold, and she almost screamed, but the wall behind the calligraphy and painting was flat and neat, and there were no flaws, and the tiger detectives rushed up, using various charms to carefully probe, but they still found nothing, and returned to Wu Shi's side in a daze.

The tip of Wu Shi's pen drooped, the calligraphy and painting returned to their original places, and the dark star's face turned blue, staring at the corner of the wall and losing his mind slightly.

"How's that?" asked in a muffled voice, "Do you want to search for it any longer?"

"Forget it!" Wu Shi turned around and left, passing by Yan Xuanji's side, his eyes did not squint, his hands and feet were stiff, and Gong Zi was difficult to follow behind with a group of gray, completely missing the domineering when entering the house.

"It seems that Haolu has no secrets. Yan Xuanji slowly spoke, and seemed a little disappointed.

"Of course," said the rocky nonchalantly, "this is the house where people live, and oh, there are a few little monsters." Then he looked lovingly at the crow, the dryad, and the toad.

"I still like the way I used to be," Yan Xuanji looked left and right, "It's a pity that time flies too quickly, and many people and many things can't come back." ”

"Don't be so sad," the mountain rotten stone lit the Lang Huan grass, "It's interesting to get by." Yan Xuanji looked at the fat Taoist master, and suddenly smiled: "Is your heart wide and your body fat?"

"Everything in the world is easy to grow without care. The fat Taoist looked at one of his most remarkable students, "You can also put something down." ”

"I can't do it," Yan Xuanji shook his head, "I'm a prisoner, trapped in the past forever. ”

"Why are you doing this?" sighed softly.

"Everyone has their own ambitions," Yan Xuanji's gaze became distant, "This is my calamity." ”

"Everything has an end!"

"Do you mean death?" Yan Xuanji laughed to himself, turned around and walked out of the porch, his slender body stiff.

"Dad......" Yan Mei shouted, looked at Du Fenglie and the rotten rocks, gritted his teeth, caught up with his father, the two walked one after the other for a long time, Yan Mei couldn't help but ask, "Did you find it?"

"What?" the Lord of Nanming Island woke up like a dream.

"Elephant serpent information. The girl said.

Yan Xuanji stopped and looked at the deep forest: "I'm going to leave Yujing for a while." ”

"Why?"

"Looking for answers," Yan Xuanji sighed, "There are no answers in the soul room." ”

Although she had a premonition, Yan Mei still felt cold in her heart, but she heard Yan Xuanji say again: "I'm going to go to Snake Ridge to have a look, and by the way, I'll look for Tianzong me." It seems that he is not in Yujing. He stretched out his hand and touched his daughter's sideburns, "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to retrieve Yuanzhu at any cost." ”

Looking at her father's haggard face, Yan Mei's chest was sour, she almost wanted to say something about the cat ghost, but a sudden emotion overwhelmed this thought, she put away her mood, hugged her father, and whispered: "I'm waiting for you in Yujing." ”

Yan Xuanji looked at her for a while, turned around and walked away, Yan Meimu saw his father leave, turned around and walked into the woods, took out his pen and said, "Eagle comes to Yi Huang Huang Yuyu!"

After a moment of silence, a golden-red shadow fell from the sky, stopped in mid-air, revealing its form, the yellow eagle stretched its wings, and a pair of golden eyes scorched and shining.

"Please, one thing," Yan Mei got straight to the point, "keep an eye on the Miao Swallow Whale for me, and record the time it stays in each place of the day." Huang Ying tilted his head: "What the hell are you trying to do?"

"Do a little research. ”

"I don't think it's that simple," the yellow eagle cooed, "your father told me not to mess around with you." ”

"You're not so obedient, are you?" Yan Mei said, with a thorn in her words.

"It's up to you whether you listen to me or not," Huang Ying was unmoved, "But don't forget, Fang Fei is still in Heavenly Hell." ”

Yan Mei was silent for a moment and said: "Dad is right, Fang Fei was punished because of me, I have an unshirkable responsibility, since I can't shirk it, I must face it." Huang Ying, I am a living person with a free soul, and I don't want to stand by and watch my father go to the soup for me. ”

Huang Ying stared at the girl for a moment, flapped his wings and said, "The cat ghost king is not easy to mess with, it has the smell of Xuan Biao on it." ”

"It's just an investigation, you don't have to approach them. ”

"One thing to say," said the Harpy King, "I am not helping you out of approval, but because I am also responsible for the accident last time. ”

"Thank you!" Yan Mei finished speaking, and the yellow eagle spread its wings and shrugged down, turning into a yellow shadow and burrowing into the sky.

The girl watched it disappear, exhaled a breath, and was about to leave, when she heard someone quack, "Little swallow, wait a minute." Yan Mei looked up, Jiuyang Jun stopped at the treetops in a big way, and the girl frowned and said, "Who is the little swallow? ”

"Isn't that you?" came the croaking sound of the insect tiger at his feet, "the mischievous little swallow." ”

"I'll tell you the truth," said the golden crow, "when your father was studying, I also called him Little Swallow." ”

"Now he's an old swallow," the toad spirit scratched his belly with his paws outstretched, "I remember he used to be quite shy. ”

When he saw the girl, he blushed. Jiuyangjun added.

"Not much," Worm Tiger recalled, "and a little elusive." ”

"He is very likable to girls and often receives love letters. ”

"I always thought he liked boys, he was like Vortain's heel, if ......"

"Okay, okay, what's the mess?" Yan Mei couldn't listen anymore, "Do you have something to do with me?"

"I'll give you two gadgets. The golden crow fluttered down, clutching a square box in its claws on its chest, "This is mine." ”

"What?" the girl took the square box and was about to open it, when Jiuyangjun hurriedly flapped her wings: "Don't ...... I can't do it. ”

"Why can't you do it?" Yan Mei remembered, "Qin Yuan again?"

"I've eaten that thing long ago," the crow swallowed, "and it's a sleepy worm in it." ”

"Sleepy insects?" Yan Mei almost jumped up, "Isn't that prematurely extinct?"

"Extermination is a bit exaggerated, but there are not a few left," Jiuyangjun said, "It took me a lot of effort to catch a few, and it took me more than ten years to tame them." Before you use it, you have to chant the mantra 'Quack Quack', then open the box and release the worms, and when you are done with it, you can say 'Quack Quack' to get the bugs back......"

"It's really verbose," the insect tiger complained as he spit out a small pale cyan gourd, "Little Swallow, give it to you." ”

The gourd was sticky and full of saliva, Yan Mei felt disgusted when she saw it, frowned and refused: "It's dirty, I don't want it." ”

"Stupid," the worm tiger said with his belly bulging with anger, "this is the 'echo bug', one of the few remaining pairs in the world. ”

"Echo worms?" Yan Mei's eyes straightened, "Is there really such a thing?"

"My private collection. The bug tiger triumphant, "You're the first to get it." ”

"Remove the filth and filth!" Yan Mei wrote a "cleaning charm", removed the toad saliva, the gourd was clean and fresh, and there was a commotion inside, as if something was rampage, and at the same time made a strange sound, as if the injured person was in pain**.

"Nonsense," the worm screeched the tiger, "you're going to scare these poor little ones to death." ”

"So squeamish?" Yan Mei picked up the gourd, which was turbulent for a moment, and then suddenly quieted down again.

"There are two echo insects, one male and one female," the insect tiger calmed down a little angrily, "the male insect is small and stays in the upper part of the gourd, and the female insect is large and trapped in the lower part of the gourd, and there is a compartment in the middle to separate them." ”

"Why?" Yan Mei asked curiously.

"The males obey the females unconditionally, and when they mate, the females eat the males. ”

"Oh!" Yan Mei looked at the gourd, feeling awkward for no reason, "Do you still use this kind of thing?"

"The male insect can release hypnotic demon poison, but no matter where it flies, it cannot escape the control of the female. So when you use the 'Echo Worm', hold the bottom of the gourd with your hand, inject vitality, control the female worm with your divine sense, and then open the mouth of the gourd to release the male worm, let it attach to the object you want to control, and through the remote command of the female worm, you can make that guy do what you want to do and say what you want to say. ”

"So amazing?" Yan Mei was incredulous.

"There's no basis for words," the worm tiger snorted, "and you'll know if you try." ”

"Okay!" the girl held the gourd, injected vitality, and her heart suddenly brightened, and the female insect appeared in her mind vividly, with a hard shell outside, like a beetle. Her consciousness was like a beam of fire, passing through the female insect and lighting up the male, the male was transparent and had six thin wings, smaller than a gnat, and the girl could clearly perceive its most subtle movements.

She pulled out the stopper, and the male rushed out of the gourd, and the lightning streamered unspeakably. Yan Mei knew its location, and tried her best to use "divine reading" to barely see a little shadow, as far as she could see, the male insect silently stopped on the head of the insect tiger, and the white toad was unconscious, still there snorting and panting.

"Somersaults. Yan Mei's thought flashed, and the insect and tiger snapped over a heel and fell to the ground, inexplicably, just about to open her mouth, Yan Mei thought again: "Say I'm a toad." ”

"I'm a toad. The insect tiger screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Let's go around in circles first," Yan Mei thought to herself, "and then stick out her tongue at Jiuyangjun." ”

The toad whirlwind swirled wildly, like a white and bright **, Jiuyang Jun was overjoyed to see it, and the red shadow flashed coldly, and the long tongue of the insect and tiger shot over like a crossbow arrow, sticking to its left foot at once. The golden crow screamed and spread its wings and flew high, but the insect and tiger fell to the ground and did not move, using their tongues as ropes, and the two little monsters pulled up the river.

"Put your tongue away. Yan Mei screamed, his tongue brushed the ground and retracted, and Jiuyang Jun jumped into the sky with a gust of wind, flapping his wings in shock.

"Little Swallow," the worm tiger regained his freedom and lashed out at the girl, "you use the 'echo worm' on me?"

"You let me try it," Yan Mei retrieved the male worm, stuffed the gourd, and honestly put it into the Qiankun bag, "The experiment was successful, and it seems to be really effective." ”

"Damn," the toad spirit burst into tears, "you white-eyed wolf, I'm going to break you off." ”

"Don't be angry," Yan Mei bent down with a smile and touched the toad's head affectionately, "Next time I go back to Nanming Island, I'll get you a few catties of sea lice to eat." ”

"Oh," said the worm and tiger, his appetite triumphing over his anger, "I want a big one, don't fool me with a little bit." ”

"Don't worry," Yan Mei blinked, "but why did you send me this...... Bugs?"

"They can deal with stone heads. Jiuyangjun said.

"Stone head?"

"Strong-willed guys, Spiritualism doesn't work well for them......"

"Cat ghosts?" Yan Mei's eyes lit up as she stared at the box of echoing insects, "What do they eat?"

"The food of the Echo Worm is your vitality, the Sleepy Worm, they feed on dreams. ”

"Dreams?"

"Why do you think they're going to hypnotize others?" Jiuyang-kun rolled his eyes, "It's not for eating." ”

"So, it's enough to hypnotize a few people on a regular basis?"

"Yes," Jiuyang-kun paused, "there's one more thing I need to warn you of. ”

"What?"

"Sleepy bugs are consumables," said the golden crow, "and they die a lot every time they are used, so they can only be used three times." ”

"Three times?" Yan Mei snapped her fingers, "no more, no less." ”

"There is also a time limit for the echoing worm," the insect tiger interjected coldly, "Generally speaking, the control time does not exceed fifteen minutes, and if the other party is too powerful, such as the Heavenly Daoist or the Demon King, it is likely to fail." ”

"It's okay, it's okay for a minute," Yan Mei put the box in her pocket and beckoned to the little monster, "Jiuyang-kun, insect tiger, see you next time." After saying that, he strode and walked away, humming a song.
