After I woke up, I found myself lying in the hospital. I was the only one in the empty ward. The Golden Wolf Mask, Tian Miao Sword, and Ye Xun were nowhere to be found. I was so frightened that I quickly sat up from the hospital bed. Before he could lift the quilt, he saw Ye Xun walking in from outside: "You're awake."
I was stunned for a moment and then pretended to be confused: "Where is this? Who are you?"
I knew that as long as Ye Xun was around, our things wouldn't be lost, so I simply didn't ask about the sword and the mask, and just made fun of Ye Xun.
Ye Xun lowered his head and glanced at my face, and immediately pressed the communicator on the bedside: "Nurse station? There is a fool here who is crazy. Please bring security and electric batons."
"Fuck you!" I pointed at Ye Xun and yelled, "Do you still have any conscience? I've lost my memory. You're not in a hurry, are you?"
Ye Xun asked expressionlessly: "Have you lost your memory?"
"I..." I really didn't know what to say to Ye Xun, so I had to change the subject: "How did we get out? Where did our things go?"
Ye Xundao: "We were taken out of Pingtianhai by Lu Xinyao's companions. All your things are under the bed, and all my equipment has been recovered."
Lu Xinyao was originally an official, so she must have some way to contact the outside world, and it wouldn't be surprising to find support. The only thing I'm worried about is whether anyone will go back and disturb Yelu Deguang's peace.
However, I did not say these words.
I pulled out Mie Tian from under the bed: "I'll give you this knife to use."
Ye Xun shook his head and said: "My blood-eyed sword is worse than Bu Shou Tian. Besides, the blood-eyed sword is what my master left me. I will not replace it easily."
I didn't look at Ye Xun's knife carefully. It's not that he didn't let me touch it casually, but I thought he valued his weapon too much, so he didn't take it to play with. Since Ye Xun doesn't need it, I won't stuff it with Mie Tian casually. give him.
Ye Xundao: "You clean up, Lu Xinyao said he would take his friends to Ali later."
"What friend?" While I was talking to Ye Xun, Lu Xinyao had already walked into the ward with two girls. The girl in front was tall, with long hair hanging down her shoulders, and her whole body was tightly wrapped in tight-fitting clothes. , There is no charm in the pair of phoenix eyes, but the determination like a gangster.
The girl following her is slightly shorter, wearing ordinary casual clothes and a pink hood, which is in sharp contrast with her companions, especially the way she holds a lollipop in her mouth, which reminds me of Dong Xiao The scene when Wei first met her was as playful and innocent as the girl next door.
When Lu Xinyao wanted to introduce him, the tall girl spoke first: "My name is Yu Feng, the head of the Liaodong branch of the Magic Hand, and that sugar-eating brat is Ren Tianqing, my partner."
Ren Tianqing waved to us and stood behind Yu Feng.
"Detective Hand?" Ye Xun and I frowned at the same time.
Yu Feng said in a deep voice: "Are you the successors of the Detective Hand?"
I shook my head and said, "I've never heard of the Magic Hand, and I don't know what you're talking about?"
Yu Feng asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"
I looked at the other person coldly: "I'm not stupid, I'm not crazy, I know what I'm talking about."
Lu Xinyao quickly tried to smooth things over: "Wang Huan, Yu Feng doesn't mean any harm. If you really have anything to do with the Detective Hand, tell her immediately. It will only do you good, no harm. By the way, the Snow Demon Fox is Exploring hand."
"The Snow Demon Fox is a magic-detecting hand?" I was stunned again.
Yu Feng, who was staring at me closely, couldn't help but ask: "You are carrying the fox bell of the Snow Demon Fox, but you don't even know that she is the detective hand?"
"I really don't know." I hesitated for a moment before telling the whole story from when I met the Snow Demon Fox to when I entered and exited the secret cave in the Lonely Mountain, and when my identity was erased.
I know that I shouldn't tell these secrets to a stranger. But, I really want to know what happened to me. Besides, Lu Xinyao comes from the security department. If I don't tell her some things, she may not be able to find out.
As for the fact that I killed people, Lu Xinyao had seen me kill people a long time ago. If she wanted to arrest me, the sentencing for killing one person would not be much different from killing ten people, so I simply stopped hiding anything.
Yu Fengzi listened to what I said carefully, and after asking many questions in a row, he nodded and said: "It seems that you are indeed the successor of the Magic Hand."
I asked: "What exactly is going on with the magic-detecting hand you've been talking about?"
Yu Feng slowly explained: "You can understand the Detective Hand as an organization, or you can understand it as a profession. We, the Detective Hand, are people born to explore the secrets of myths."
I shook my head and said, "I don't understand what you mean?"
Yu Feng said: "For five thousand years in China, countless myths and legends have appeared. Behind each legend is a secret. The existence of the Detective Hand is to lift the veil of myths and bring out the secrets hidden behind the myths. Back to reality.”
Yu Feng pointed at me and said: "Just like the ancient city of Fuxian Lake you experienced, doesn't it contain the secret method of creating witch warriors in the ancient Dian Kingdom? And the golden mask of Pingtianhai, isn't it the limit of human will? Then It’s the secret behind myths and legends.”
I couldn't help being slightly surprised: "Is there such a profession?"
"I was surprised when I heard about the Detective Hand for the first time." Yu Feng said: "However, the Detective Hand is an ancient profession that has existed for more than two thousand years. Since Wang Mang established the first Detective Hand, The Detective Hand has been secretly passed down under the cover of successive dynasties."
"How come Wang Mang is related to the Detective Hand?"
I know that Wang Mang is a controversial figure, and his thoughts and actions are somewhat unconventional. Moreover, Wang Mang has indeed gathered a large number of strange people. Legend has it that some strange people can even fly briefly after having wings on their bodies. But I really can’t figure out why he wanted to build the Exploring Hand.
Yu Feng said: "It sounds strange, right? Wang Mang is not the first person to doubt the truth of the myth? But he is the first person to dare to explore the myth."
Yu Feng was right about this. At least Qu Yuan once doubted mythology. Qu Yuan's "Heavenly Questions" covers natural phenomena such as the separation of heaven and earth, the changes of yin and yang, the sun, moon and stars, all the way to myths and legends, and even historical stories of the fierceness of sages and the rise and fall of chaos. However, Qu Yuan only had doubts and had no ability to explore the truth. The deviant Wang Mang can do it.
Yu Feng continued when I lowered my head to think: "There are different opinions on Wang Mang's purpose of establishing the God-Detecting Hand. Some people say: He is just curious. Others say: He came here to find the secrets in myths, usurp them for himself, and bring long-term peace and order to the world. Some people say: Wang Mang also wants to become a god."
"Although Wang Mang died after his country was destroyed, the God-Detecting Hand he established has been preserved to explore the truth for successive dynasties. I have to say that it seems that every emperor is interested in the secrets behind the myths."
Ye Xun suddenly said: "You mentioned twice that the Detective Hand is a secret organization serving the dynasty, but what about now?"
Yu Feng said bluntly: "The current Detective Hand is still a semi-official organization. The official provides certain privileges to the Detective Hand. The Detective Hand will hand over all the secrets discovered to the official. However, the Detective Hand cannot Participate in other official activities.”
Yu Feng pointed at Lu Xinyao: "We can't just do what she can do. For example, arresting corruption criminals and investigating officials. Of course, the official will not care about the affairs between Tan Shen Shou. With all the grudges, we are living in a world of official acquiescence."
"I understand." Ye Xun nodded and stopped talking.
I couldn't help but wonder: "What secret did the detective hand discover?"
Yu Feng smiled bitterly and said: "I said I knew nothing, do you believe it?"
I suddenly felt unhappy: "The Exploring Hand has existed for more than two thousand years, how can you say that you haven't discovered anything?"
Yu Feng said: "When I first heard this explanation, I had the same reaction as you. But this is the fact."
Yu Feng stood up and said: "Exploration is not as risk-free as you think. Behind every myth there is a forbidden area designated by the gods. Those who break into the forbidden area will escape death. The ancients did not have modern weapons, let alone advanced weapons. Equipment, entering and exiting the Mythical Forbidden Zone is equivalent to gambling your life."
"Of course, they also brought back certain information. However, the authenticity of this information is still open to question. Coupled with the change of dynasty power, the internal grievances and consumption of the Detective Hand, etc., there are very few secrets left behind. Even Nothing valuable can be found in the research.”
I couldn't help but ask: "Which mythical restricted areas have the detectives visited?"
I asked this because I was worried that my father had really wandered into some forbidden area. In that case, where should I find him
Yu Feng replied: "It's hard for me to answer this question for you. First, there are big and small myths and legends. Just like the two legends you have experienced, they are equivalent to being between the third and fourth level restricted areas. Top-level ones like West Kunlun No one dares to try it in the restricted area, and those who have been there have become legends.”
"Second, detectives do not exchange information easily. Each sect has its own agenda. Sometimes they even deliberately conceal the fact that they are exploring restricted areas."
I was shocked again and said: "The detective is still divided into sects?"
"Of course." Yu Feng said: "The detectives can be roughly divided into two parts. One part is the stragglers who have no sect and no sect, and rely only on their own cultivation to detect the gods. They are either unwilling to join the sect, or they are low-level preparations. Disciples. They usually call themselves Qingfeng, which means pervasive and everywhere. But this does not mean that there are no masters in Qingfeng. On the contrary, there are many masters in Qingfeng."
"The other part is the core members of the Detective Hand, who come from the five sects of the Detective. They all have systematic inheritance."
"Snow Demon Fox is the best in Qingfeng, and your father is probably from Dawn, one of the five sects."
