Waves of heart-piercing pain hit my spirit. A stone tablet also appeared in front of Ye Xun's eyes, with a line of seal characters engraved on it: On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, four people came here. Escape, have good qualifications, and can be entrusted with important tasks. The muddy water in the pool contains corpse poison, which cannot be solved except by my clan's secret method.
What's the meaning
A question just flashed through my mind, and bubbles appeared in front of me. Not long after, another stone tablet was revealed in front of me.
There is also a seal character engraved on it: sink into the quagmire forever, turn into a zombie, and suffer from corpse poison forever; break out of the trap, sneak into the Helu Sword Pond to retrieve the Jiuding, you can choose one of them.
I frowned slightly. Could it be that the planners not only calculated our purpose of sneaking into the Nu's Grave Lake, but also knew exactly where we would end up? Otherwise, how could these two stone monuments, which were lifted by mechanisms, appear so perfectly
The purpose of the person who left the message is also very simple, that is to let us break into the sword pool, take away King Yu's tripod, and go to them to exchange for the antidote. But why didn't he break into the sword pool
Countless thoughts were whirling in my mind. The stone tablet in front of me suddenly rose two feet again, and another line of seal characters also appeared in front of my eyes: If you want to test the poison with yourself, don't move where you are; if you want to exchange the solution, Medicine, ask people on the shore to jump into the mud pool from where they are.
Before I had time to react, I heard Yasha on the shore say coldly: "You can choose now."
The choice he mentioned was not for me to choose, but for Xia Qingqing to choose.
The only choice now is indeed in Xia Qingqing's hands. No one in the audience can make a move except her.
But Xia Qingqing didn't react for a long time. Yasha, who was standing near Xia Qingqing, said, "Have you made your choice?"
Xia Qingqing said calmly: "I have made my choice. I will go down and rescue them. However, I can't jump by myself, so you have to throw me down."
"Huh?" Yasha said solemnly, "What did you say?"
Xia Qingqing still responded calmly: "I can also use light and shadow tricks. Your tricks won't affect me. If I jump on the spot, I will definitely not land in the corresponding position, so you have to help me."
After Yasha was silent for a moment, the sound of a heavy object breaking through the wind suddenly came from the shore, and then Xia Qingqing landed in front of me on the right.
Now, the three of us are standing in an inverted triangle.
Not long after, a stone tablet appeared in front of Xia Qingqing: It's a wise move. After you get King Yu's tripod, people will naturally look for you.
As soon as I saw the writing on the stone tablet clearly, there was a violent earthquake on the ground under my feet. Half of the mud pool slowly rose from the ground. The thick mud flowed down our bodies and poured crazily behind us. Between the three of us, He also gradually moved his body, walking from the raised ground to the tomb passage in the distance.
This time, we walked onto the ground through the secret door near Nufen Lake without any obstruction. I used lake water to wash away the blood and mud on the wound, only to find that the wound on my body had turned black and blue, and even the blood that flowed out was faintly green.
Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "This is a symptom of corpse poison entering the body. We have to find a way to detoxify the corpse poison, otherwise, in less than twenty-four hours, we will have someone poisoned and transformed into a corpse."
I took a deep breath and said, "Do you know how to dissolve corpse poison?"
"I don't know." Ye Xun shook his head and said, "My master has used Taoist methods to resolve corpse poison on others. It can only temporarily delay the onset of corpse poison, but it cannot be eradicated. Besides, I feel that we are not ordinary. Corpse poison.”
Although I didn't speak, I was unwilling to be controlled like this.
Tao Xiyu said softly: "There is an antidote to corpse poison at Dimen, I can..."
Tao Xiyu stopped mid-sentence, but I understood what she meant. Normally, she might be able to spend some money in exchange for the antidote, but I just made a serious move to Dimen. Once Dimen finds out that we have been poisoned by corpse poison, Tao Xiyu will never get the antidote.
Perhaps Tao Xiyu also thought about finding someone else to stand up for him, but how many people in the Wugui Sect can be trusted? The biggest characteristic of Wugui Sect is that fellow sects will eat each other like worms.
I deliberately changed the topic and asked Xia Qingqing: "You blood droplets are good at using light and shadow tricks, is it just to enter the female grave lake?"
"No." Xia Qingqing shook his head and said, "Legend has it that the Qingqiu Fox Clan is just like foxes, with horrifying vision, hearing, and smell. It is precisely because they have such good vision that they are extremely sensitive to light and shadow, and often Confused by the shadows. Therefore, the best way to capture Qingqiu Fox is to introduce them to a place where light and shadow tricks are everywhere."
"I understand!" I suddenly said, "No wonder King Wu wanted to store a large number of corpses in Shengyu's tomb. He wanted to use the smell of decaying corpses to confuse the Fox tribe, trapping them in the tomb and unable to escape."
"In King Wu's view, the fox demon may be an immortal existence, so he set up many mechanisms to deal with the fox demon entering the tomb."
Xia Qingqing said: "That Yaksha doesn't seem to be Qingqiu Fox. I deliberately asked him to throw me away just to test his identity. He accurately threw me to the predetermined place without any hesitation, which shows that he is not Qingqiu Fox." Clan. But I can’t figure out who he is.”
"I think I can explain it." Tao Xiyu pulled out an iron token from his body, "His name should be Sui Xingyi, nicknamed Feitian Yaksha."
I looked at the waist card in Tao Xiyu's hand and stood stunned on the spot. It was the token of Wen Shizong, the detective hand. On the back of the waist token was clearly engraved "Flying Yaksha Sui Xingyi".
I couldn't help but said: "Isn't Sui Xingyi one of the Ten Great Detectives?"
"I don't know." Tao Xiyu shook his head and said, "I have never heard of this name."
"Let's get in the car!" I rushed to the car and dialed Mother Fox's phone.
After listening to my situation, Mother Fox said: "Although Sui Xingyi is not one of the top ten detectives, before he disappeared, his reputation could directly match the top ten on the list of detectives at that time. If he had not disappeared, he would definitely be among the top ten in the sect's elders. There’s a place for him.”
I asked: "Why did Sui Xingyi disappear?"
"I don't know the specific situation. Wen Shizong's people have always kept silent about his disappearance, and several people who were close to him back then were also buried in forbidden places. Sui Xingyi's whereabouts have become a mystery among the lower-level disciples. But..."
Mother Fox changed the subject and said: "There is someone who should know the reason for his disappearance. That person is Sui Xin. She is Sui Xingyi's daughter."
"It is said that Sui Xin's name was chosen by Sui Xingyi himself. No one knows why he didn't let Sui Xin use his own surname, but gave her a word with the same sound as her name."
No wonder Suixin has always been interested in the legend of Qingqiu and invited me twice to explore Qingqiu. It turned out that she wanted to find the whereabouts of her father. If she knew that Sui Xingyi had turned into something neither human nor ghost, similar to a zombie, and was still serving the Qingqiu Fox Clan, I wonder if she could accept this reality.
I took a deep breath and said, "Where is Sui Xin? Have you woken up?"
"Well..." Mother Fox hesitated and said, "Suixin and Lu Xinyao are both missing. According to the surveillance video, the two of them left the hospital on their own, and... Moreover, their movements when climbing out of the wall did not look like humans. , but like a fox."
Oops! Qingqiu Fox takes action!
My heart suddenly sank, but I said calmly: "Is there any news from Bai Wuchang?"
"No." Mother Fox said, "I only know that Detective Shenshou and Wugui Sect suffered a big loss in the Sword Pond. They didn't withdraw a few people, so I don't know what happened next. The insiders I followed also Didn’t come out. I’ll try to find out more information.”
My heart sank again: "Mother Fox, if you have any news over there, please contact me as soon as possible. I will handle the matters here myself."
I hung up the phone and said, "I'm in trouble this time. I don't know when Mother Fox will get the information. It seems like we really have to go to the Sword Pond next time."
Tao Xiyu said: "I know there is a person nearby. I can contact him. Maybe he can give us some news."
I don’t know what to do next now, some news is better than no news.
The person Tao Xiyu introduced to me was named Tie Qing, but there was no trace of iron-blooded pride in that person. After seeing me, he lay on the sofa with his back stretched out: "Wang Huan, right? I know you are half-official. People on the Internet. You are not short of money, are you? I have the information. If you want it, you have to bring the money."
I looked at the other party with a half-smile: "What if I don't have money?"
Tie Qing chuckled and said, "If you have money, you will have information. If you don't have money, you will only have horse urine."
Normally, I might be able to say a few more words and bargain with the other party, but now I am not in the mood to say even half a sentence. Before the other party's sneer landed, I jumped up from the sofa, grabbed the other party's collar and pushed him down on the sofa, and then stuffed the barrel of the Magnum into the other party's mouth.
Just as the two people brought by Tie Qing were about to move, Ye Xun's long knife penetrated the throat of one of them. Another person was so frightened that he knelt on the ground on the spot: "Don't kill me, don't kill me..."
I released my hand from Tieqing's neck and slapped him twice on the face: "Money, no, I don't have horse urine either. But, your life is in my hands. Xia Qingqing, do it." .”
Xia Qingqing came over with a syringe, tore open my clothes casually, inserted the needle into my flesh against the wound, and drew out a tube of dark green blood. She even skipped the disinfection process and directly grabbed the iron. With Qing's arm, he pushed a tube of green blood in.
During the whole process, Tie Qing didn't dare to move at all, but the sweat beads on his head rolled down one after another. By the time I pulled out the barrel of the gun that had been inserted into his mouth, the back of the sofa was already wet with his cold sweat.
Tie Qing, who finally took a breath, asked with a cry: "Wang... Team Leader Wang, what are you trying to do to me?"
