:~This hairpin is indeed a clue!
"How did you know that?"
Bai Huo pinched open the hairpin that had been rusted to the point of being almost broken, then pulled out silver needles as thin as yak hair from the butterfly's body and placed them one by one on the table.
There are twelve in total.
"This is my master's needle, also known as the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles, which can cure diseases and save lives."
Su Qingyu asked: "But why are there only twelve?"
These things were her blind spots in knowledge, and she had never even heard of their names.
Bai Huo's voice was like cold mountain spring water. He slowly explained, "Because this acupuncture method will hurt the person holding the needle, some people's lives have ended, and using this needle can extend their lives. The cause and effect generated will backfire on the person holding the needle.
Therefore, when Master uses this needle to treat illnesses and save lives, he usually leaves one or two more needles in place, to leave a glimmer of hope for sentient beings, and also to leave a chance for himself to survive.”
"I see." Su Qingyu nodded. "In fact, I have always suspected that Little Butterfly's parents are from the Morning Star Group. Her parents' identities are mysterious. I once saw the ruby that is unique to the employees of the Morning Star Group on her mother's hand. At the same time, I have never seen Little Butterfly's father."
"The only way to get the answer is to go to the Morning Star Group."
Zhu Shanhai was confused by what he heard nearby. He only knew that Zhuang Xiaodie was in trouble, so he said loudly, "If you guys want to go to that Monkey Mountain, I'll go with you."
Bai Huo corrected him, "It's Monkey God Mountain. That instance is a two-person instance. Miss Su and I can go there. Brother Zhu, when I'm not with the Red Organization, there are still many things in the organization that need your help."
"It's me who stays behind to look after the house again." Zhu Shanhai picked up the teacup and drank it all.
Bai Huo's posture of drinking tea is very elegant. He sips the tea slowly, feeling the slight bitterness of the tea leaves on the tip of his tongue, and the sweetness after the bitterness, leaving the fragrance on his lips and teeth.
Zhu Shanhai has an open-minded and cheerful personality. His drinking movements are similar to his personality. He swallows the tea leaves whole, like a cow drinking water. After a mouthful, there is still tea in his mouth. He chews it, spits out the tea leaves, puts down the teacup, and says, "Okay, I'll stay and look after the house.
You two must promise me that you will exit the dungeon the same way you entered it, and you must pay attention to your own safety."
Su Qingyu smiled at Zhu Shanhai and said, "Brother Zhu, don't worry. I have gone through so many copies, and now I am still intact in front of you, right?"
"So do I."
Zhu Shanhai looked more relaxed. "Yes, you two are both smart people. One plus one is greater than two. I feel more at ease if you two cooperate."
There are both advantages and disadvantages to Su Qingyu and Bai Huo going through the dungeon together. The advantage is that there is no need to worry about Bai Huo backstabbing you, but the disadvantage is that Bai Huo will often want to rescue people, which brings additional danger.
Bai Huo is a gentleman, and his character is absolutely selfless.
This is a two-player copy, so Su Qingyu doesn't have to worry that Bai Huo will sacrifice the interests of a few people to save the majority in the process.
"When do we set off?" Su Qingyu asked.
Bai Huo produced three copper coins in his hand, threw them onto the table in front of him, and said, "Seven days later, it will be an auspicious day."
