Pick up the Dragon

After Peng Yu said this, he felt uneasy and almost bit his own tongue.Although he knew that the other party would generally not scold him, the more he knew, the more frightened he was, and his fingers trembled slightly.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Li Yi's face was calm, he only slightly frowned, and repeated: "The white tiger claw is gone?"

Peng Yu nodded again and again, feeling a little strange at the same time - he clearly said "lost", but when the other party repeated it, it became "not seen".

He looked at the other person's expression, and told him all the incident and his own guess, Li Yi slowly twisted his fingers: "You suspect Bai Ze?"

Peng Yu thought about it and said, "When we first arrived at Kunlun Mountain, except for what I casually pointed at, we were sure to find the right crack when we saw Bai Ze's footprints. Later, when we settled in Kunlun Shrine, every move we made was in the same direction. Under his surveillance. I also asked Jiuyuan and Qianyue, when they went to rescue us, Bai Ze was there to help."

"You mean, he was present and had the opportunity to contact us, no matter the time or place is suitable," Li Yi said, "but there is one thing you haven't figured out. What is the purpose? What is the purpose of taking away the white tiger claw? "

Peng Yu choked: "Maybe... is it connected with the Xian family? Anyway, he won't play with it by himself."

Li Yi shook his head: "As the guardian beast of Kunlun Mountain, Bai Ze has always been active only in the human world, and has nothing to do with the heavens, nor is he under the jurisdiction of the heavens. He is happy in the world, why should he listen to the fairy family? Even the white tiger His claws are in Kunlun, and at most he needs to cooperate to take the initiative to find holy objects, even if all the gods in the world have been turned around, it can't be his turn."

Peng Yu faltered, unable to answer for a while.

Li Yi said again: "And think about it again, if he lied to us that day and actually knew where the white tiger's claws were, why didn't he hand them over to the Xian family before we came? With his ability, he may not be unable to untie the white tiger's claws." God's seal."

"It seems reasonable to say that," Peng Yu touched his chin and thought for a while, "Jiu Yuan said that he was a little surprised when they first came to look for Bai Ze. He said that he felt that something might be under Kunlun Mountain, but he was not there at the time. Kunlun didn't know that it was the Molong King who was pressing down there, so he didn't dare to rush in after the crack appeared."

Li Yi: "When the world is stable, Bai Ze will leave Kunlun and appear in people's field of vision. After the change of dynasty, the people recuperate and live. It is true that for more than ten years the world has been extremely prosperous—at least the south has been extremely prosperous. I read your book, and at that time There is indeed a record of Bai Ze's birth, and he should not have lied about this."

Peng Yu looked at him in surprise: "Why does my family's book record everything? And when did you read it?"

Li Yi waved his hand to signal him not to interrupt.

Peng Yu had no choice but to clear his throat, and spread his hands helplessly: "Then if it wasn't Bai Ze, who could it be? Mo Li wasn't there at the time, so it couldn't have been our guards who stole it? fell out of the snow? But I asked Jiu Yuan to dig under the snow again, and there was nothing there."

Li Yi didn't answer, but got up slowly, Peng Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help him, the two went outside, Li Yi looked at the snow-covered mountains from a distance, and suddenly said: "Maybe we have forgotten someone, Or ... a group of people."

Peng Yu couldn't find Bei: "Who is it?"

"Ghost clan."

Peng Yu thought that something was bothering the ghost clan again, so he heard him say: "It was so chaotic at that time, and the ghost clan was very likely to fish in troubled waters, and it wasn't necessarily our own doing it. And the sun-swallowing arrow appeared too timely. So timely that I can't believe that the heavens are so kind to 'help' us."

"Sun-swallowing arrows?" Peng Yu was slightly startled, "You mean...the arrows that fell from the sky?"

Li Yi nodded: "Do you still remember that I told you that the heavens lack a good bow? They are going to take away my dragon tendons. I am afraid that this bow has already been made."

Peng Yu's heart was startled suddenly, and the voice was raised unconsciously: "Use your bow made of dragon tendons, and the arrows you shot? And almost killed us in it?"

Li Yi deliberately ignored his fluctuating emotions, and continued to say lightly: "Swallowing the Sun Bow does have the power to shoot the ground with an arrow, but the strength of the arrow depends entirely on the archer himself. So many arrows before were good. Only this 'mistake'? Anyway, I don't believe it."

He turned around and looked directly into Peng Yu's eyes, his voice was very low but very clear: "I'm sure they did it on purpose - we made them uneasy, so they can no longer tolerate us taking away the sacred objects, we have to do it as soon as possible." Hold it in your hands."

"Wait a minute," Peng Yu wiped his face. "The more you talk, the more chaotic it becomes. I can't even understand it. So tell me now, who owns the white tiger claw?"

"If I'm not mistaken - Xianjia."

Peng Yu found a clearing with snow, casually took out a hairpin from his body, squatted down on the ground and wrote the word "Heaven Realm": "Then who took the white tiger's claw away?"

"I guess it's ghosts."

Peng Yu wrote "ghost clan" again, and then drew a line between the two words: "So... the ghost clan and the Xian family are allies?"

"No," Li Wei said while squatting down, took the hairpin in his hand, and added a few strokes to that line to make it look like an arrow. You can form an alliance with the demon clan, but the relationship with the ghost clan will always be hostile, this is beyond doubt."

Peng Yu showed a sluggish expression, feeling that it was really difficult to communicate with this dragon.

"But Heaven and Nether are alliances." Li Yi wrote the word "Nether" on the ground again, drew a two-way arrow between "Nether" and "Heaven", and wrote "Alliance" on the arrow, "Remember before The Songzi Temple in Anping? Hades couldn't find enough reincarnated souls, so they had to use empty shells to make up the number, so there were children with "soul-lost syndrome". Just imagine, if Hades itself is innocent, how could it be possible to let the heavens Counting on themselves? They are clearly guarding themselves and stealing, secretly helping the heavens."

After Peng Yu heard it, he felt a hundred soybeans turning in front of his eyes, turning his brain into a mess: "No, can you explain more clearly? What's the matter with Youming? Youming is not equal to the ghost race. ?"

"Of course the underworld is not equal to the ghost clan." Li Yi slowly drew another sharp arrow between the two, still pointing at the ghost clan. The soul after death is understood as ordinary people, and the ghost race is understood as the mob—do you understand what I mean? The ghost race is composed of those "ghosts" who do not want to obey the discipline of the underworld and cannot enter reincarnation due to certain obsessions , For example, what we saw in the Chenzhou water prison before, already belongs to the category of ghost clan."

He pointed in between those two words: "Of course, ghosts can transform into normal souls. I set up an formation in Chenzhou to purify those ghosts trapped in the spirit-binding formation. Reincarnation. But if these 'mobs' don't want to repent and become 'ordinary people', the attitude of the 'court' towards them is still to suppress."

Peng Yu squatted on the ground, supported his knee with his good arm, and put his chin in one hand to think carefully for a moment: "I seem to understand a little bit. But since the ghost clan and Tianjie are not in the same group, why do they help Tianjie take the white tiger?" Where are the claws?"

"I didn't say it was a 'gang'," Li Yi said, "I guess the ghost clan has been under the claws of the white tiger for so many years, so they must know its power. Tianjie stepped in and snatched the white tiger claws from them—this is taking advantage of them.”

Peng Yu didn't answer, Li Yi said again: "Of course, these are just my guesses. If you must exclude your own people, this is the most reasonable explanation. After all, didn't you also say that there were ghosts trying to approach you secretly?" ? If you don’t rule out your own people, then apart from Bai Ze and Mo Li, Jiu Yuan, Qian Yue, and even you and I may be suspects.”

Peng Yu pursed his lips—naturally, he didn't want to doubt his own people. The two guards had been with them for so long, and they had already shared life and death together.Mo Li is the king of the Molong tribe, and Bai Ze is the guardian beast of Kunlun Mountain. No matter who is the ghost among them, it is definitely not a pleasant thing.

He turned his gaze to Li Yi again, seeing his silhouette reflected in the light-colored pupils of the other party, and felt that mutual suspicion was even more nonsense, and he didn't even want to think about it.

So he fell silent, accepting his guess.

"There is one more thing that I find strange," Li Yi said again, "This time the power of the ghost clan is too strong. They broke through my seal, and they are not even afraid of sky thunder and dragon fire. It's too strange. And you The unicorn horns on your body are the most powerful deterrent to the ghosts, how can they not even be afraid of this, and take the initiative to approach you to snatch the white tiger claw?"

Peng Yu's eyes moved: "I remember what you said. Have you noticed that everything related to the White Tiger Clan has disappeared so far? First, the White Tiger Banner disappeared, and then the White Tiger Clan has not appeared for more than a hundred years. Now even the white tiger claws are lost...is this a coincidence?"

Li Yi touched his nose, and Peng Yu impatiently drew a circle on each of the "heaven" and "ghost clan" with his hairpin: "What the hell are these two shit stirring sticks doing? Let's find Qi Sheng quietly." Is the thing not good? This journey is already bumpy enough, and they still come looking for trouble, I really..."

Li Yi raised his eyebrows lightly, as if he felt that someone's annoyed look was very interesting, he could not help but look at it for two more seconds, then reached out and grabbed his wrist: "Anyway, as long as you are fine."

Peng Yu: "..."

Young Master Peng was stunned by this sudden confession in an instant, stared blankly for a while, and then picked up his tongue tremblingly: "No, you..."

Li Yi had an innocent face: "Me?"

Peng Yu almost blurted out the sentence "You were hit with a rock, didn't you?", but at the nick of time, he was hooked by his tongue again, and it was almost enough to grab it back.

He hastily swallowed a mouthful of saliva, expelled the "white tiger that" who was full of thoughts, like chasing flies, and brought his precarious thoughts back to the "right track". Huahua, slowly approached the other party, and carefully pecked him on the lips.

Li Yi let it go without avoiding it, watched him quietly and seriously for a moment, and suddenly said softly: "I was scared at that time."

Peng Yu was taken aback, and then realized that the "at that time" he said should be when he fell into the ravine. At the same time, he was surprised that the insincere dragon was willing to be so honest. He didn't know what to answer for a while. Say, "I'm really scared, I thought..."

The following words were swallowed by him, but in the end he couldn't get out of his mouth.

He quickly reached out his hand to the opponent's chest, and pushed hard. Peng Yu was caught off guard and pressed to the ground by him. Ying inserted in without fear of death amid landslides and landslides, and in the same way covered him with a soft belly, and turned his hard back to the blue sky.

There was a string in his head that jumped violently, his right hand unconsciously grabbed the snow under his body, the blood in his whole body boiled in an instant, and he stretched out his hand and grabbed the back of the opponent's neck forcefully.
