Qi Bishu frowned after seeing Rong, and asked: "Master, did you see something?"
Rong Wan shook his head, not knowing how to tell this weird thing. He completely opened the clothes on Kong Zhiping's back until he saw his elbows exposed. Kong Zhiping's back was flat and smooth, gray in color, with the texture of a dead person. The totem he had seen in the cave had indeed completely disappeared. .
It was too dark in the cave at that time, seeing the bloodstains on Kong Zhiping's back, I felt that the totem seemed to be engraved on it, but at this moment, not only the totem disappeared, but also the bloodstains, as if everything was just an illusion.
"That's right." Xie Cangchuan threw two blood-stained ebony stone plaques on the table, kicked the two assassins lying side by side on the ground: "It was found from them."
Yun Hao picked up the ebony stone sign, his face paled suddenly: "Ji Le Tang?"
"Not necessarily." Qi Bishu said: "Where is there someone who comes out to kill people and wears a name tag? This is too stupid."
However, Yun Hao seemed to be evoked by some bad memory, and his expression was always ugly.
Rong Wan said: "It's still dark now, even if it has anything to do with Ji Le Hall, we'll wait until tomorrow morning. The most urgent thing is to put Kong Zhiping's body away, Taoist Master Kong, do you have any plans?"
Many of the corpses in the cave have already rotted away, but Kong Zhiping's corpse is basically intact, he must have died not long ago, so he can't be left lying on the cold chopping board for a long time, lest the boss come downstairs tomorrow and scare him to pee. pants.
Kong Zilan wiped away her tears and calmed down a little: "Everyone is dead, and it's useless to find the body. I'll send someone to transport my second brother's body back to the mountain tomorrow, and then I'll go with you. I have to take revenge."
Rong Wan glanced at her lightly, and nodded.
Late at night, with candles flickering, several people went back to their rooms for the time being. Yun Hao seemed restless and took the initiative to keep watch, while Xie Cangchuan followed Qi Bishu into Rong Wan's room. Xie Cangchuan said: "Now we can talk."
Rong Wan asked, "Do you have any drawings?"
He was asking casually, but Qi Bishu actually brought it with him, and then he took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from Qiankun's bag, and carefully placed them on the table. It was the same when he went back to Penglai Sect, he only took a breath of cold air, and Qi Bishu was able to take out the cloak, which shows that he is as careful as a hair, and he is not as good at this point.
Xie Cangchuan also found it funny, and asked Qi Bishu, "Little devil, what else do you have in your bag?"
After saying that, he wanted to go to Qi Bishu's Qiankun bag, but Qi Bishu didn't know what he thought of, his face flushed suddenly, he kept the Qiankun bag in his arms, and avoided it twice.
"Get down to business." After Rong finished speaking, he bent down and restored the totem he had just seen in the cave on the table. At that time, I faintly felt that there was something strange about this pattern, so I wrote it down in detail. After finishing the painting, he himself was surprised by the degree of restoration, perhaps due to the memory of this body.
This totem stretches across Kong Zhiping's entire back, and it is blood-black in color. At first glance, it is just a group of entangled lines, which is very chaotic and weird. But after careful identification, it seems that it is a half-human, half-animal thing. Terrifying and ferocious, covered in blood, covered with heavy shackles from head to toe, the top of the head seems to be auspicious clouds, but there are large black karmic fires under the feet, which makes people unclear.
Qi Bishu probed over: "What is this?"
Rong Wan said: "When I found Kong Zhiping's body, I saw the pattern on his back, but for some reason, after transporting him back to the inn, the pattern disappeared."
Qi Bishu said: "Could it be that the voice that led you over, Master, hoped that only you, Master, would see this pattern?"
Rong Wan is not sure, the totem is only seen in the cave, so it may not be because there is something strange about the environment of the cave, of course what Qi Bishu said is also very possible, otherwise the voice would not have tried to lure him alone: "Yes possible."
When the two were talking, Xie Cangchuan stroked his chin, but walked around the totem on the table several times, thoughtfully.
Rong Wan asked, "Did you see anything?"
According to the original text, Mr. Xunyu is specialized in sword repair, so he has already reached the peak of his cultivation at a young age, while Xie Cangchuan is good at everything, but he is not good at everything. Things, but more than Jun Yu.
"Xing Ji, I don't know if you have heard of it." Xie Cangchuan said: "I have never seen the totem behind Kong Zhiping with my own eyes, and the picture you drew is also very vague. I don't dare to confirm it completely, but since ancient times, It is impossible for the blood-colored auspicious cloud that symbolizes a god to appear together with the black lotus fire, unless the god has already fallen into the sky. Before I left my teacher, I heard a rumor from my master a long time ago. Of course, it was just a rumor. Like many secret exercises, it has been lost, and most people in the Immortal Cultivation Continent don't know about it."
"Punishment." Rong Wan muttered the word, feeling vaguely familiar. He suddenly had a bad premonition, so he asked the system to turn to the paragraph where the word appeared in the original text, and read it again in his mind, but found that it was inconsistent with what Xie Cangchuan said. Xie Cangchuan mentioned that the "sacrifice" was a fallen god who failed to achieve a positive result, but it was mentioned in the chapter of Qi Bishu's fall from the devil, and the "sacrifice" was described as some kind of punishment from heaven. If you can't survive it, you will directly destroy your body and spirit, as God's punishment for the betrayed gods.
What's the matter? For some reason, Rong Wan's eyelids suddenly jumped.
Since he brought Qi Bishu to Feiyu Mountain, Qi Bishu's fate can be said to have changed. Since he no longer follows the original fate, the "fallen devil" plot that appeared in the original text will no longer appear. But why, he feels so bad right now
Rong Wan couldn't help but glanced at Qi Bishu. He was standing aside, studying the pattern on the table. His side face was like jade, and his jet-black eyes were piercingly black. Although his fate was rough, the things he had done so far have always been pure and harmless. . Rong Wan couldn't help but feel that he was thinking too much.
He turned to Xie Cangchuan and said, "Go on, why did the punishment sacrifice fall to the sky since he was already an extremely god? Besides, there seems to be no records about him in the various books of Xiuxian Continent."
Evil spirits, such as the snake, are still spirits. However, if a god falls into the sky, he will be possessed by a demon. At that time, it will not be tolerated by the law of heaven, and he will receive the most severe punishment. But at the same time, he will also gain the power to fight against the heavens.
"After all, this is something that has been handed down from ancient times. How do I know why he fell to the sky?" Xie Cangchuan said: "As for this lost record, it is easy to explain. History is always written by the victor, since he is no longer alive. In the world, then it means that someone once crusaded him, and he lost. The gods who won do not want to let his deeds spread, so as not to cause other gods to follow suit, and mortals on the Cultivation Continent covet miracles."
Rong Wan frowned and stared at the weird totem: "But what does this torture have to do with this matter?"
Xie Cangchuan also felt puzzled: "I don't know about that."
Qi Bishu raised his head from the totem: "Master, no matter what, he must have something to do with Ji Le Hall, and he will go there at dawn."
This night was very long, and because of the lessons learned from the past, the next few people dared not sleep again, let alone couldn't fall asleep.
Xie Cangchuan went to Kong Zilan's room to heal her injuries, while Yun Hao and Qi Bishu took turns keeping vigil in the corridor.
Rong Wan was full of things in his heart and didn't fall asleep. When Qi Bishu came back from vigil, he sat up cross-legged and said to Qi Bishu: "It's cold in the corridor. I'll sleep on the other side with you. My side is hot. You Hurry up and get under the quilt to warm up."
Qi Bishu was breathing out of the cold, rubbing his hands, seeing this, quickly put down his hands, flattered and said: "Master, no need, I'm not cold."
Rong Wan said: "Come up and talk."
Qi Bishu took off his coat obediently.
After Rong finished throwing him to the side warmed by him, he asked about the business: "You have nothing to hide from me, right?"
Qi Bishu was stunned for a second, with an unnatural expression for a second, before saying: "No, I swear, absolutely nothing is hidden from Master." After a pause, he continued: "When I chased the man in black out, I was I found that the person's figure was somewhat familiar, but I didn't recognize the person who came back after taking off the mask."
Rong Wan stared at his face and couldn't see anything unusual from it, then said: "You mean, you suspect that the man in black changed his bag halfway?"
"That's right." Qi Bishu frowned and said, "But it's just a suspicion, after all, the night is too dark, I can only see the other party's shadow."
"It's even more strange." Rong Wan thought about it: "Your spiritual sense is strong and your senses have always been keen. I believe there will be no problem with your intuition. Then there is something wrong with those men in black."
Speaking of this, Rong Wan set up a barrier in the room before continuing: "It seems that there are three men in black who appeared tonight, and the one hanging out outside our window is probably the one you chased out. On the way, he switched with another person, so you finally caught another person."
"But why do I feel that his figure is familiar?" Qi Bishu only felt that this matter was confusing from beginning to end.
Rong Wan asked: "We have met many vendors, small stall owners, and tea house owners along the way. Is there any one you can match?"
Qi Bishu thought for a while, but still shook his head: "It's too dark, I can't see the specific figure clearly."
It was indeed too flustered and hasty at that time, not to mention that the man was masked and covered in black clothes, escaping into the night, no matter how strong his eyesight was, he couldn't easily tell who it was.
In this matter, Qi Bishu, Xie Cangchuan and the others were all standing "in this mountain", but Rong Wan had a bit of God's perspective. Looking at Qi Bishu's face, he suddenly had some guesses in his heart, but this guess has not yet been confirmed. He didn't dare to draw conclusions easily.
However, with this guess, the next step is to lure the snake out of the hole.
