When I looked at Ye Xun's back, my heart trembled inexplicably. It seemed to me that the housekeepers were not two people, but two ghosts discussing a conspiracy in a low voice.
The moment I was about to get up, Ye Xun and Doudu turned around at the same time, revealing two pale and bloodless faces with red eyes. They stared at my face unblinkingly, with a dark look. Red water stains also flowed from the corners of their mouths.
I sat up from the chair with a sudden jolt, and Ye Xun's ghost-like face returned to its original state in an instant: "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm having a nightmare!" I wiped the cold sweat from my head and said, "Did you find anything? No... bring me that local journal."
I grabbed a local chronicle from Xia Qingqing's hand and flipped through it quickly: "Here! This local chronicle records that a Requiem Temple was once built opposite Kucong Mountain to appease the souls of those who fell into the water. In the destruction of the four old At that time, the Requiem Temple was demolished. Let’s go find that temple.”
The original location of the Requiem Temple was extremely steep, and the open space that could accommodate the building was less than 30 square meters. It was extremely difficult to build a temple there with the manpower at that time, but at that time, someone built a temple on the rocky cliff. .
Although the Requiem Temple has been demolished, its foundation is still there. It didn’t take me long to find the old site of the Requiem Temple. Ye Xun took the compass and walked around twice and said: "No, according to Feng Shui, this place should not build a temple, especially facing the river. The evil spirits are conflicting. Not only can the soul not be comforted, but it may also anger the people in the river." Water ghost."
Ye Xun gestured with his hands: "If the temple door is in this position, it can avoid the evil spirit in the water, but it won't be able to calm the soul."
The place where Ye Xun pointed was exactly at a forty-five-degree angle to the water flow. If the temple were compared to a human being, it would be standing sideways by the water.
I pulled out Mie Tian and knocked on the ground a few times: "This place has been changed. The direction of the temple door was at the position you mentioned at the beginning."
I kept tapping the ground with my knife: "The foundation here is not right. Send troops over and blow up all this rock. I want to see what is inside."
Mother Fox quickly contacted the garrison for me. After several fixed-point blasts, most of the protruding rock on the ground was blown open, and an iron pillar with a diameter of more than one meter was exposed inside.
The iron pillar that goes straight to the ground is like a key used to open the door to hell. It is inserted upside down on the ground and looks extremely weird.
I circled the iron pillar twice before saying, "Send the tractor and try to see if we can turn the pillar."
I was commanding the traction mechanism here, and a soldier reported to me: "Chief, someone is looking for you and says there is something important. He also asked me to show this to you."
When I saw the ID in the other party's hand, my eyes suddenly shrank: "Where is he? Bring him in."
That's Lu Xinyao's ID!
Not long after, the soldier came in with Bai Wuchang and two girls with flame tattoos on their faces. Bai Wuchang met and said, "Brother Wang, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Brother Wang must not know these two yet?" The two are Su Zimo and Su Zixuan, who are ranked ninth on the list of detectives."
When the two of them nodded slightly to me, I shouted in a deep voice: "Take it!"
The soldiers guarding outside immediately raised their guns and pointed them at the room. Bai Wuchang turned to look at the countless gun muzzles and laughed: "Brother Wang's power is a bit inferior. You obviously don't dare to kill me, so why bother?" Showing a murderous attitude?"
Bai Wuchang sat on the chair calmly: "Of course, Brother Wang can also try to capture me as a bargaining chip to see if the detective will pay attention to a subordinate who failed the mission?"
I waved my hand fiercely and said: "Everyone retreat, no one is allowed within a hundred meters of the headquarters."
Bai Wuchang watched the person retreat before he smiled and said: "Brother Wang, as an opponent, I have to admire your insight. Our detectives spent ten years investigating the mystery of the Three Eyes, and after many twists and turns, we determined the location of Erlang's restricted area. location, but failed to open the restricted area. Unexpectedly, it only took Brother Wang two days to find the secret that took us ten years to find."
Bai Wuchang's voice deepened and he said: "I want to know what kind of magic power Brother Wang has that can determine the location of the restricted area in such a short period of time."
I looked at Bai Wuchang coldly: "What qualifications do you have to ask me this?"
Bai Wuchang smiled lightly and said: "The purpose of my coming here is very simple. It is nothing more than to cooperate with Brother Wang. As collaborators, shouldn't we exchange information? Just like I have told you the whereabouts of Lu Xinyao. Wang Brother, should you tell me something?"
I looked down and said, "Of course someone told me!"
I'm not lying. Without the "Book of All Things", I wouldn't have been able to determine the location of Erlang's restricted area so quickly. In a sense, it can also be understood that my father is telling the information behind the myth.
Bai Wuchang quickly looked at Su Zixuan, and then said with a smile but not a smile: "As expected, it seems that the Snow Demon Fox has left a lot of spies on our side?"
I said coldly: "You talk too much nonsense."
Bai Wuchang nodded and said: "Then let's cut the nonsense and get down to business! The mystery of Erlang's three eyes in the restricted area is related to the mission of Eternal Beauty. The God-Detecting Sign must be obtained, so we will never do it in Erlang's restricted area. Let it go.”
"Since Brother Wang came first, we can't seize Brother Wang's restricted area. I think you and I will work together to open Erlang's restricted area and share the secret of the three eyes. How about we each use our own abilities to explore the eternal beauty?"
Bai Wuchang said leisurely: "I know, Brother Wang, you care about us. Of course we also have our persistence. We can join forces on some things. But on some things, both sides will not give in. We will not let Brother Wang. It’s difficult, I believe Brother Wang won’t let us down, right?”
I looked at the other person and said, "Are you threatening me?"
Bai Wuchang smiled and said: "Brother Wang, it would be very disappointing if you think this way. How can we talk about threats in normal transactions?"
"Let's put it this way! People in the world have to do things that they despise. People who are aboveboard will not survive long in the world."
Bai Wuchang smiled and said: "Of course, Brother Wang can also say that he still wants to have a bottom line. However, Brother Wang should also understand that the purpose of my coming to see you is not to come and sit down with you, but to trade with you. You are right. What?"
Su Zimo, who was standing next to Bai Wuchang, also said: "In fact, the cooperation between Brother Wang and us is not at a disadvantage. Although Brother Wang has strong troops and horses, the mythical restricted area is not a place that can be unimpeded by relying on the number of people, unless, Brother Wang wants to use his life to fill a bloody path. Does Brother Wang want to see such a result?"
Bai Wuchang and Su Zimo drove me into a blind corner with their choruses. But I have to admit that what they said is true. The lack of manpower is my biggest shortcoming.
I said solemnly: "I agree to cooperate. However, before we cooperate, shouldn't you also tell me why you conclude that the secret of the three eyes is the key to cracking the secret technique of the demon fox?"
Bai Wuchang took out a photo and said, "I think this photo is enough to prove it, right?"
I picked up the photo and took a look. It showed a mummy wearing a wizard's robe placed in an ancient tomb. The eyes of the mummy have been gouged out by life, but two gold-like balls are embedded in the eye sockets.
The most critical place is between the eyebrows of the corpse. There was a knife mark several inches long. From the photo, you can clearly see that the skin on both sides of the wound was pulled into the shape of a vertical eye. In the middle of the wound, a white bead with a black heart was sewn with needle and thread. If you look closely, it looks like it has a vertical eye.
Bai Wuchang said: "This is the corpse of the priest of Wu State. According to what we saw in the tomb, King Helu of Wu wanted to remind later generations that the third divine eye is what restrains the demon fox."
What happened is similar to what I deduced. The bead that Black Tit took out must be something dug out of a certain corpse. However, he died in the hands of the demon fox before he could report the news to anyone.
I took the bead out of my pocket, played with it for a while, and threw it to Su Zimo: "I gave it to you. I also found the clue on the bead."
Su Zimo took the beads and said, "Thank you."
I suddenly said in a deep voice: "Then is there Xi Shi in the tomb of King Wu?"
"No!" Bai Wuchang shook his head and said, "We have searched almost the entire tomb. Although we found some corpses buried in sacrifices, there is definitely no Xi Shi in there, unless Xi Shi only entered the tomb dressed as a slave."
I pondered: "What about the ancient sword in the tomb that kills people?"
Bai Wuchang took a deep breath and said: "King Wu probably wanted to treat him with his own way, right? What he was buried with was not three thousand famous swords at all, but three thousand cursed swords. "
"There are indeed many long swords in the ancient tombs, but each sword has hidden murderous intent. It is either connected to a mechanism or has been smeared with poison. The spells on some swords can also cause confusion in people's thinking, and even affect those around them. Companions take action."
Bai Wuchang took the initiative and said without waiting for me to ask further: "As for the matter about King Wu smelting Jiuding to make swords, it is definitely a rumor. We fought hard to snatch twelve long swords from Helu's tomb. Some experts have confirmed After conducting research on the long sword, we have ruled out the possibility of secondary forging.”
Bai Wuchang said: "Actually, if I think about it carefully, I also think it is unlikely that the King of Wu melted the cauldron and made the sword. Although Helu was also a great man for a while, he did not have the courage to change the world. At that time, the Wu State did not reach the height of the Qin State. It is possible to smelt ancient artifacts and cast your own legendary artifacts."
Bai Wuchang said: "To take a step back, even if the King of Wu really melted the cauldron and made the sword, he should not have brought the divine sword into the tomb, but should have passed it on to Fu Chai. Are you right?"
I pondered for a moment before saying, "According to you, the collision between Qingqiu Fox and Wu State was a misunderstanding?"
