Dong Muya went straight back to Ouyang's ancient house after dinner. As soon as he entered the door, he remembered that he was going to buy some daily necessities, but he forgot about it. The information she was sorting out had just begun to gain some insight, which was about the various rumors that had been obtained from the demon world and the human world over the years about the places where Qingyun or his men had appeared. Some of the locations have been proven to be worthless, and several more likely ones have been investigated by Sanmu and others. Among these cities, they are from Xizhen, Qingyang and Chilemir. This city has the most rumors and is also the most questionable.
She sorted out the records about these three cities at hand. The city of Xizhen is located almost in the east of the demon world. It is named after the first city lord. The original shape of the city lord Xizhen was a thousand-year-old blue snake. It was said that he had given birth to She is as big as a dragon, has great magic skills, and is good at using hidden weapons. All the hidden weapons she releases are stained with snake venom, and ordinary monsters will die if they get even a little bit of it. This city was built around a towering white oak tree that she often coiled around before she turned into a demon. Therefore, it is also known as the tree city or wooden city. Only the residents who were there when the city was first built thrived in the city. Although outsiders can enter the city, However, it is stipulated that one cannot stay for more than three days.
Blue Snake Xizhen is very mysterious. She only visited the royal city once when the first demon king Hu Li was in charge of the demon world. The rest of the time she stayed in her own city and did not interact with the outside world. Since she did not participate in any political affairs, others did not Too much attention was paid to her, and to this day, no one can even tell if she is still alive in the world.
Qingyang City is just like its name. The entire city is built on blue soil and is located directly north of the royal city. It was abandoned after the battle between the first demon king Hu Li and Qingyun. Only some ruins are left. People who once lived in the city There are not many demon spirits left today, and the red-eared demon spirits of Wangjue are the descendants of the former lord of Qingyang City.
Chi Lemir, also known as the Flame City, is located in the westernmost part of the Demon Realm. The entire city is exposed to daylight all year round. The fiery red desert is unbearably hot, but there is a large amount of sand gold, so there are still many monsters with gold mining dreams gathered here. They look for sand gold during the day and enter the underground city at night to enjoy the romance.
The underground city was excavated by the city lord Chi Lemir who spent a long time. This city lord is called Salamander, and he is a salamander monster. If his business acumen were placed in the human world, he should be able to achieve a great career. Chi Lai Mir was too hot and uninhabitable, but it was a pity to store countless sand gold there, so he chose the latter between abandoning the city and rebuilding it. He spent countless sums of money to recruit workers to build a huge building under Chi Lai Mir. The underground city, and then moved the entire city underground, and set up a large erotic venue here. As a result, the sand gold that those gold diggers found on the ground during the day flowed into the pocket of the city lord Salamander at night.
Dong Muya's intuition tells her that there is a connection between these three cities to some extent, but what exactly this connection is is still difficult for her to decipher. The information on hand seems to be detailed, but it is too superficial. She needs to go deeper. Digging. At this time, she thought about the mysterious hacker WiseMan. He might have more information there. Even if it was not in the information he had, he would give some different ideas and tips.
She and WiseMan have been in contact since last year. Strangely enough, every time she is stuck in a certain problem, he will pop out of nowhere, as if a monitor is installed around her. Sometimes she Thinking about it this way will make you feel a cold wind on your back.
Who is this WiseMan? The more she came into contact with him, the more confused she became. His abilities had been said to be miraculous even before they came into contact with him. After they actually came into contact for some days, she found that those people did not. Exaggeration.
She held the coffee cup, stared at the computer screen and silently said in her heart: Show up! Just when I need you!
That magical dialog box really popped up on the computer screen.
WiseMan:elnaixuhciagowgnaixow
NoName:?
WiseMan: It seems that I overestimated your IQ, working backwards
NoName: I think it's time for me to show up
WiseMan: Well, tell me what worries you.
NoName: How much do you know about Qingyun
After Dong Muya typed this question, WiseMan, who always typed quickly, paused for a while, which was not in line with his usual style.
WiseMan: The most wanted criminal in the demon world. He suddenly appeared in the demon world thousands of years ago and caused a stir.
Lang, first seriously injured the first-generation Demon King Hu Li, and then killed the second-generation Demon King Fox Ouyang Xueye.
NoName: I'm going to be impressed by you again.
WiseMan: Information about him is not that expensive!
NoName: Feel free to ask for a price. I am very honest and have never delayed paying you.
WiseMan: That's true. What do you want to ask
NoName: From sixteen years ago to now, no matter in the world of humans or monsters, please record the places where he has appeared.
The most reliable available to me.
WiseMan: I think you already have the answer. It's right in front of you, isn't it
NoName: Are you talking about the information I have at hand now
WiseMan: What did you just use to light up the Marlboro in your hand
NoName:Fire…
Dong Muya typed out the word mechanically first, then calmed down and looked at her camera, only to see it flash in front of her eyes.
WiseMan: Haha, I will accept your frightened expression as a reward for this time. It would be great if your friends could catch Qingyun.
Dong Muya wanted to ask more questions, but the dialog box on her computer had popped up and disappeared. She carefully observed the camera on her laptop and made sure that it was no longer in working condition before settling down. It seemed that this WiseMan was still alive. He had a naughty side and actually made such a joke with her. Just when she thought this, the screen flashed again. She thought it was WiseMan again, but unexpectedly it was a reminder in her email. When she clicked on it, she saw that it was a photo of her with a horrified expression when she just found out that it was taken. She couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.
According to WiseMan's reminder, the place where Qingyun appeared was related to fire. What she immediately thought of was the Flame City Chi Lai Mir. It was far away from the royal city and was relatively mixed due to the large number of gold diggers coming and going. It was indeed a perfect hiding place. , she must tell Ouyang Hongye the news as soon as possible.
WiseMan's reaction when she heard the name Qingyun caught her attention. This person who had always been flawless would be shaken by a name from the demon world, and said that if her friend could catch Qingyun, he would The best thing to say is that it is indeed suspicious. What is the connection between him living in the human world and Qingyun, the demon in the demon world
It has been nearly two weeks since Ouyang Xiaoleng was seen. Although he received news from Ouyang Hongye and Qianqi that his health was fine, Xia Qiu was still concerned. But when Dong Muya told her that Ouyang Xiaoleng would come to school to take the final exam, she was a little at a loss. The scene when he turned away and asked her to leave with a look of resistance still flashed in front of her eyes. It won’t go away.
On the day of the final exam, it started to snow again early in the morning. Xia Qiu happily ate the nutritious breakfast prepared by her grandma, and then took the pencil with the word "success" written on it that her grandpa prepared for her and went out to go to school. Growing up, her grandfather would always prepare such a pencil for her every time she took an exam. Although her test scores mainly depended on her usual hard work, for some reason, using such a pencil for her answer sheet always made her full of confidence. Then the brain seems to become more active.
She was a little worried about Ouyang Xiaoleng. He hadn't been in school for a long time. She didn't know if he had reviewed his homework. He must have failed in the exam. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he ran into him waiting outside the yard.
He looked good, and it didn't look like he had been seriously injured two weeks ago. His ice-like face was no different from usual, and he seemed to not remember what he had done. He didn't say anything when he saw her, and walked straight towards the school, as if he was just escorting her to school in place of Thorns.
"How's the injury?" Xia Qiu asked without composure when he was almost halfway there.
"Well, much better!" Ouyang Xiaoleng's mouth moved slightly as he answered.
"That's good!"
"Hongye has never allowed me to do strenuous activities or go too far."
It sounded like Ouyang Xiaoleng was explaining why he hadn't come to see her in the past two weeks, which made Xia Qiu find it cute. After all, it was rare for him to explain his behavior to others. She glanced at him, and then continued to look forward. When he smiled, the corners of his mouth actually raised a little, and the two of them walked to school smiling all the way.
The exams for all subjects lasted until the afternoon. When the bell rang for handing in the last subject, everyone breathed a sigh of relief while putting down their pens. The papers were passed from back to front, and almost all the people who had handed in the papers were shouting silently. As soon as the invigilator left with the papers in his arms, the whole classroom became excited, most of them discussing where to go to relax later.
"Xiao Qiu, I think I failed the exam! What about you?" Liu Lingmei came over and said frustratedly.
"I also did average in the exam!" Xia Qiu comforted.
"You say that every time, but you do so well every time!" Liu Lingmei pouted.
"Hey, where are you going later?" Du He came over and asked.
"I want to sing, but if I get so bad in the exam, I have to sing loudly!" Liu Lingmei responded enthusiastically.
"Then go sing! Dong Haofan will go too!" Du He agreed, and then asked Xia Qiu, "What about you?"
After the exam, Xia Qiu finally had the opportunity to talk to Ouyang Xiaoleng, but the invitation from her good friend was indeed too warm to refuse. She turned to Ouyang Xiaoleng behind her with a questioning look in her eyes.
Ouyang Xiaoleng was packing his schoolbag. When he saw her turning around, he reluctantly nodded to her, as if he agreed to go with them. To her, his reaction was unprecedented.
In the KTV's Doraemon-themed private room, Liu Lingmei and Dong Haofan sang "Elope to the Moon" lively. Their voices were hoarse from shouting too many high-pitched songs. Except for the two of them, no one else was singing. Sing but sit aside.
Du He is tone-deaf, so he just listens to other people singing every time he goes to KTV; Ouyang Xiaoleng is the first time to come to such a place, and his overly sensitive eardrums are about to burst from the sound, and he wears the music on his head and chest. The wound also hurt; Xia Qiu felt very tired as soon as the exam was over because she had been studying hard to catch up on the homework she had missed.
"Xiao Qiu, please sing one. If you don't sing, I can't sing anymore!" Liu Lingmei finished her duet with Dong Haofan and sat down next to Xia Qiu.
"All right!"
Xia Qiu came to the song screen and silently clicked on the song "The Sea Drizzled and the Stone Rotten". The quiet guitar sound isolated the noisy music just now. When she opened her mouth, it was as quiet and beautiful as the feeling she made others.
"I'm not afraid of what the world will be like tomorrow. Seeing your smiling face every day makes me feel at ease. No matter what the outside world wants to be like, we still have our little paradise..."
For some reason, every word in the lyrics touched Ouyang Xiaoleng's heart, as if it was a song that belonged to him and Xia Qiu. During the days of recuperation, he had been hesitating about how he should explain to her his abnormal behavior that day. But the moment I saw her, everything seemed to cancel out automatically. The tacit understanding between them seemed to be able to untie each other's knots just by looking at each other.
