The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 222 Motivation
"If you can't say it, then don't say it." Yuan Mu smiled when he heard what he said, and instead of blaming him, he comforted him: "You just need to remember to say it when you can. Other things, I will I don't want to interfere, to be honest, I still like you a lot."

"Thank you." His words made Dai Xia laugh, and he said, "I know this may embarrass you, but if possible, I hope you can help me temporarily hide it from Chi Dun, who knows the way." matter."

"Yes!" Yuan Mu nodded, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked, "Hey, don't you wonder how I know you are not a mortal?"

"How do you know?" Dai Xia smiled when he heard the words, and asked kindly, "Although I know that Lord Bai Ze wants to know everything, I still don't want to know where I am."

"Since the last time we were in the villa area, I don't know if you still remember, when I pulled you up, I tried to probe your veins, but you avoided it."

Yuan Mu turned a corner with a smile, and said: "At that time, I just thought that the timing of your appearance was a bit too coincidental. I didn't think too much about it, and I didn't do it on purpose to explore your veins."

"Just because of that? You started to doubt me?" Dai Xia raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "At that time, I just felt that something was wrong. Yang Yang may not have felt it himself, but the story you made up at that time was simply outrageous If others don’t know, at least they won’t be able to fool me.”

"Then you're still so cooperative?" Yuan Mu couldn't help laughing when he remembered the scene when he met Dai Xia at that time, "We also said at the time, how could we meet such a talkative delivery guy? If you are so lazy, you are not afraid of your boss. your salary."

"I didn't have any other thoughts at the time, I just wanted to know what the hell you were doing."

Hearing his laughter, Dai Xia also laughed and said, "Let's put it this way, maybe it's because of the boldness of Yi Gao. I didn't know the identities of you and Mr. Ying Long at the time. And although Yang Yang tried his best to cover it up, he didn't see it at first sight." A college student who has been out of society, he doesn't look like he has done bad things, I just want to see what you guys want to do, and if something really happens, I can clean it up."

"Then why did you show up?" Yuan Mu asked curiously, "According to what you said, we shouldn't have done anything that made you feel out of line?"

"There is nothing wrong." Dai Xia said, pointing to his eyes, and laughed, "But don't forget, I am a member of the Taoist sect, and I am the most sensitive to evil spirits, especially evil spirits that smell of blood. Sensitive. Ever since Yang Yang came out of the villa for the first time, he has such a demonic aura, but he is a mortal, and he was quite afraid of you at that time, so I thought he was attracted by you intimidating..."

"So, you went to the villa because you were worried about Yang Yang?" Yuan Mu followed his words and said, "Then why did you suddenly give up? Don't you doubt us?"

"Master Bai Ze, you are joking. Others don't know, how can you not know? Ying Long started to doubt me the first time he saw me, so he released some coercion intentionally or unintentionally."

"Although I'm not a top-notch expert, I still have a bit of insight in self-financing. Among other things, I'm quite accurate in judging people. With your strength, if you want to find a puppet, you definitely won't need to look for someone like Yang Yang. Besides, as soon as I saw Xue'er in that dim sum shop, I understood that although Yang Yang was still a little afraid of you, he was actually not very wary of you in his heart."

"That's why you left?" Yuan Mu raised his eyebrows and asked, "We are monsters! Aren't you the most particular about the separation of monsters and monsters in your Taoist sect? Are you so relieved to throw him, a mortal, into our group of monsters? Aren't you afraid that we will be unhappy and eat him?"

"Originally, I was meddling in my own business. Since Yang Yang wants to, I don't care who he associates with. It's all his own fate."

After Dai Xia finished speaking, he sighed and said, "Besides, you wouldn't eat him as a mortal if you wanted to eat it, would you? Human flesh doesn't taste good."

"Haha... that's right! Human flesh doesn't taste good." Yuan Mu repeated his words, and then asked, "Then why did you come to Yang Yang again? To tell you the truth, we really began to suspect that you were also looking for him After coming to Yang Yang for the second time, that time...it was really too obvious."

Hearing what he said, Dai Xia wiped his face with his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Is it obvious? I know it's obvious, but I can't help it. I don't know who to go to except you."

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Yuan Mu asked with some surprise: "If I remember correctly, we finally found Suan Yu's eyes because of your appearance, and it was because of that that a lot of behind-the-scenes problems were involved. Things, how? You knew these things in advance?"

"Half and half."

Looking at the traffic ahead, Dai Xia turned his thoughts back to the time when he came to the dim sum shop for the second time, and said to Yuan Mu: "You also know that although people in our Taoist sect don't usually get in touch with each other, but in this magical city Where mortals gather together, there are occasional connections.

Naturally, I also have my own old friends in those places where they often hang out. It is not news among monks that Taoists intervene in the battles between mortals.

So I got the news long before it happened, I just didn't expect it to be so serious in the end, depopulating several blocks around there. "

"I don't know what other people think, but I have always entered the Tao with 'righteousness' since I practiced Taoism. I don't see others doing this kind of thing, but you also know that as a Taoist, I don't speak out about this matter.

So after much deliberation, I decided to ask Yang Yang for help.After I left last time, I purposely inquired about that pastry shop, among other things, it is still very famous among monsters.

Now that I found the dim sum shop, I naturally know some of your information.So as long as Yang Yang knows about these things, it will be a matter of time before you investigate them. "

"So you are using us?" Yuan Mu summed up what Dai Xia just said in one sentence. Although he said so, he was not angry, but smiled: "Why are you also from the Taoist sect? So rigid, but you are so smooth?"

"Master Bai Ze, you are joking. One hundred kinds of rice raises one hundred kinds of people. Naturally, Chi Dun and I cannot be exactly the same. Let alone us, are there two identical monsters in the demon world?"

Dai Xia said, pointing to an intersection in front of him and said, "Turning right from here is faster than going straight."

"You're familiar with me?" Yuan Mu said, but he followed his instructions and drove the car into the right-turning lane.

"Well, I used to come here when I was delivering food. At this time, the school ahead is over and parents are picking up their children. The traffic jam ahead can last for more than half an hour."

Dai Xia smiled a little embarrassedly, and explained to Yuan Mu: "I am more concerned about these small details."

"I've always liked people who care about small details." Yuan Mu also smiled back at him, "Aside from asking me to hide from you that your knowledge of Taoism is a matter of Taoism, what else do you need me to do for you?"

"Other things, I won't bother you." Dai Xia said, laughing, "How can I have such a big face, dare to ask you to do so many things for me!"

"You're fine, that's fine, I have something to ask you." Yuan Mu couldn't deny what he said, and changed the subject, "I'll ask you two questions, whether you know it or not, or how much you know, I will I hope you answer me truthfully, don't lie to me, and don't perfunctory me."

As soon as his words fell, Dai Xia said: "I know that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If I ask you to help me, I must give something."

He said, shaking his head helplessly: "Forget it, tell me, what do you want to know."

"What do I want to know, you don't have any idea in your mind?" Who knows that Yuan Mu stopped asking at this time, he raised his eyebrows and asked: "I thought you should have a clue based on your intelligence!"

"I know a general idea, but I don't dare to speak nonsense, so you should ask clearly what you want to know!" Dai Xia said, and added: "In case what I said is different from what you think, How embarrassing it will be for everyone!"

"What an embarrassment for everyone... Haha..." Yuan Mu laughed amused by his words, "Okay, I'll ask. First of all, the first question is, did something happen on your Penglai Island? ? Although the Taoist sect has not been a very tight alliance and has been making small moves in private, but like recently, it seems to have completely fallen into a state of madness, which I have never seen before."

"This question is not only what you want to ask, but also what I want to know." Dai Xia sighed when he heard this question, "It is true that something happened on Penglai Island. I don't know what happened, but what is certain now is that because of the incident on Penglai Island, the entire Taoist sect has begun to be in turmoil, that's why so many 'disobedient' sects have done so many outrageous things .”

"Okay, let's skip this question." His explanation made Yuan Mu silent for a while, and then he continued to ask: "Let me ask you the next question, did you send the paper bird that I received today?" from?"

"Yes." Dai Xia raised his eyebrows, completely unaware that Yuan Mu wanted to ask this question, a little surprised.

"Don't be so surprised, I'm just asking this question to confirm some things." Yuan Mu said, looked at the road ahead and said: "It's true, it's much faster to walk from this side than from that way, get off the car, we Coming."
