I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

Ji Qinglin glanced at him helplessly: "At least someone who is neither deaf nor dumb, can hear and speak, and is willing to speak, you can be content."

At this moment, Xiying was the only man in black robe left, no matter how much he knew, he had to hurry up and ask what he should ask.Ji Qinglin thought for a while, and then asked a series of questions: "Do you know what kind of needle the deputy envoy Zuo asked you to use to stab the old man, what kind of medicine he gave you, and who is the person you asked to kill?" , why did you kill him?"

Xiying was a little dazed by the questioning, but after glancing at Xie Wuyi's stern face beside him, he still replied with complete clarity: "I don't know what the needle is, but I found out later that I There is also that kind of needle in the Achilles’ Achilles. I asked Ah Jin, but he only told me that no one should pull out the needle, otherwise he would die immediately. I don’t even know what the medicine is. , do I still have to take this risk and take the task to change the medicine?"

"As for who is going to kill..." He paused and glanced at Ulanda, "The left deputy envoy showed me his portrait, and I only found out that he was a general when he was ambushing near the village. But why he was killed, Deputy Zuo didn't tell me."

Ji Qinglin sighed softly in his heart, it seems that Xiying still doesn't know why his body became what it is today.

He didn't know the art of sealing the soul, he didn't know that he was no longer a "living person" at this moment, he didn't know the existence of the dragon blood tree, and he didn't know why he wanted to kill people.

If the other party was an organization, then the group of people who came to assassinate Ulanda today should be at the bottom of the organization, at the outermost edge of the organization, playing the role of the knife that borrowed the knife to kill.For the core characters and core secrets, they probably have no chance to get in touch with them at all, so it is useless to ask too complicated questions, and the people who instruct them to do things will not explain the reason to them at all.

But Ji Qinglin was not disappointed. Although Xiying knew very little, at least he had revealed some information that they did not know before. At least they now knew about the existence of Deputy Zuo and the details of these "pawns". Knowing the source, knowing the way and the way the opponent absorbs and manipulates the "chess pieces".

"Hey, that's right," Ulanda suddenly raised his chin to Xiying and said, "The left deputy asked you to go to the dying old man for an injection, why did you want you to cut off their thumbs?"

Hearing his question, Ji Qinglin realized that there was another point that he had missed, but after thinking about it, if cutting his thumb is also a step in the art of sealing the soul, I am afraid that Xiying can't explain why.

But Xiying was not stopped by the question. On the contrary, he seemed to have finally encountered a simple question, and immediately answered: "Count."

"Count?" Ulanda suspected that he didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it again.

Xiying nodded and said, "He told me to cut off every old man's thumb after the needle was given to them for counting. Three pairs of thumbs can be exchanged for one pill."

The four of Ji Qinglin were silent for a moment when they heard the words. They had made various speculations before, but they never thought that the function of the thumb would be so absurd.

Ulanda and Ji Qinglin looked at each other, and they both saw the word "ridiculous" in each other's eyes. Then Ulanda turned around and asked, "Why does the count have to cut off his thumb? Can't you use something?"

As soon as he finished asking, Ulanda himself was stunned for a while, because he found that his question seemed a bit stupid.

The purpose of the left deputy envoy asking them to cut off the old man's thumb was obviously not just for "counting", but for them to prove that they had completed the matter of sealing the soul.

The process of performing acupuncture in the art of sealing souls does not sound like a good deed, and there must be many people who are as reluctant as Xiying.

If only one object was required as a witness, most people would choose to make up the number, because objects are everywhere, and if they walk on the road, they may pick up one or two.But the thumb is different. After all, it is a part of the human body, and it cannot be picked up casually on the roadside.

Ulanda secretly slandered the vice envoy Zuo's viciousness, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, let's just have a thumb, but I still don't quite understand, if you want a thumb, it's fine, isn't one enough? Why not?" Do you have to be in pairs?"

Xiying blinked slowly, and mumbled: "Counting..."

Seeing that the question went back to the original point, Ulanda was about to ask again, but Xiying suddenly seemed to understand where his doubts were, and explained: "Oh, what you asked is this, this is not It’s hard to understand, if an old man only asks to have one cut, and I bring back three to him, how does he know that I didn’t cut two of them from the same person?”

Ulanda was speechless, and turned her head to look at Ji Qinglin dumbly, with "demented" written all over her face.

Ji Qinglin also felt powerless, only felt that the left deputy envoy was really not a fuel-efficient lamp, not only cruel, but also scheming and tricky, leaving no room for these people under him to steal and play tricks.

Ulanda and Ji Qinglin were relatively speechless, and Xie Wuyi, who had been silent for a long time, said, "Let's go down the mountain first."

The two of them came back to their senses, nodded, turned around, walked down the mountain with Xie Wuyi and the young man, after walking two steps, Ji Qinglin realized that there were no footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Xiying standing there in a daze Looking at them blankly, Ji Qinglin said, "Why, you don't plan to go with us?"

Xiying was taken aback for a moment, and then there was a little surprise in his eyes, he nodded hurriedly and said: "Go, go."

Ji Qinglin stared at his slightly stiff steps when he came up, and his heart was actually very complicated.

Although Xiying was not ordered by Deputy Zuo to seal the soul, she still chose to kill a stranger in order to change her medicine. After all, she was not a good person.

If he is said to be innocent, it is not worthy of sympathy for a person who should have been dying to continue to this day by using the technique of sealing the soul, and trying to take other people's lives in order to survive.But if it is said that he is heinous, and it is human nature to cherish one's life to survive, there are very few people in this world who are willing to sacrifice themselves for others.

In the final analysis, these black-robed people have their own peaceful lives today, even if they die, they can rest in peace, but now the reason why they are involved in this muddy water is all thanks to the gang of real black hands behind the scenes. give.If those people hadn't sealed their souls in the name of saving their lives and threatened them with drugs, they wouldn't have fallen to where they are today.

Although he is a hateful person, there are also pitiful things. Right and wrong cannot be judged in a few words.

Ji Qinglin has always suspected that the "medicine" that Xiying was talking about was dragon's blood jerky, and now he is taking him down the mountain, just to try the effect of dragon's blood jerky.

Xiying walked to a place a few steps away from them and stopped, as if he didn't dare to get too close, Ji Qinglin didn't care too much, looked at the black robes lying on the ground behind him and said: "These corpses..."

Ulanda patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry about it, I will send someone up to clean up after I go down the mountain."

Xie Wuyi reminded, "Send it to Yuzhou."

Upon hearing this, Ulanda immediately realized that he was going to send these corpses to Chi Ruogu for inspection, nodded and said, "Understood."

Without further delay, the five turned around and went down the mountain together.

Only at this time did Ji Qinglin think about other things, thinking of the boy who suddenly appeared on the tree just now, he hurriedly turned his head to look for it, only to see the boy quietly following Xie Wuyi, not looking at the road , only lowered his head and focused on the iron chain in his hand.

Somehow, the iron chain suddenly shortened and disappeared in his hands, and turned into an iron rod in a blink of an eye.

This change was so wonderful that Ji Qinglin couldn't help but let out a "hey" and asked the young man, "Where did the iron chain go?"

The young man looked at him, walked up to him, raised his hand and "clanged" and pulled the iron bar in half from the middle, and saw the silver iron chain lying between the two iron bars. It didn't disappear, it just hid in the hollow iron rod.

Ji Qinglin was taken aback by his sudden movement, but when he looked at the young man, he looked up at him seriously, and grinned a very bright smile, as if answering him that this is the iron chain "where to go".

Ji Qinglin was almost dazzled by his smile. Looking at the boy's behavior earlier, he thought the boy had a cold temper, but unexpectedly he was so cheerful. Thinking about it, Ji Qinglin also responded with a smile and asked: "Can you borrow my money?" one look?"

The young man moved forward with both hands, and Ji Qinglin grabbed the iron bars at both ends and took the object.

As soon as he got it in his hands, he felt that there seemed to be a pulling force between the two hands. He relaxed the strength in his hand and let the pulling force pull the iron bar to close in the middle, "swallowing" the iron chain little by little, until it reached two sections The iron rods joined together and became one, and the iron chain was completely absorbed into the iron rods.

Ji Qinglin used his strength to pull the iron rod apart again. When the iron chain stretched to an arm's length, Shi Buyu raised his hand and pressed on the top of the iron rod on the right. The pulling force suddenly disappeared, and Ji Qinglin tried to relax. Then he found that this time the iron rod and the iron chain did not move at all, and they did not close to the middle by themselves.

Ji Qinglin turned the iron rod on the right to look, and saw that the middle of the top was already recessed, obviously it was a mechanism.And the function of this mechanism is also self-evident, it is to stop the iron chain from shrinking on its own and control it to an appropriate length.

Ji Qinglin clicked his tongue and said in amazement: "It can be used as a long whip when it is extended, and it can be used as a long stick when it is retracted. If you touch the mechanism and pull back the iron chain like you did before, it can also be used as a claw. This thing is so powerful. What is it? weapon?"

The young man rolled his eyes, put away his smile and frowned after a while, took the iron bar back from Ji Qinglin's hand and pressed the switch, retracted the iron chain again with a "crash" and combined the iron bars into one, turned around and walked back to understand No shifting sideways.

Ji Qinglin was startled, and blinked in embarrassment, but Ulanda laughed "puchi" beside him.

Xie Wuyi turned his head and glanced at Ulanda, and explained to Ji Qinglin: "This is his new creation, I'm afraid it hasn't been named yet."

When Ji Qinglin heard that this weapon was created by a young man himself, he couldn't help feeling a little admiration for him, thinking that maybe people with unique skills are somewhat weird, and it's understandable to be hot and cold.

Thinking about it, Ji Qinglin didn't care about the young man's attitude just now, and asked Xie Wuyi, "What's his name?"

Xie Wuyi said: "Shi is silent."

Ji Qinglin nodded, and said with a smile: "Good name, Shi Shi is speechless when asked, Mingshan Qi Jiuping."

After finishing speaking, Ji Qinglin glanced at Shi Shi casually and said nothing, but unexpectedly he was staring at him intently, and shook his head solemnly at him.

Ji Qinglin was stunned for a moment, and said, "Isn't it?"

Shi Buyu nodded.

Ji Qinglin smiled at him, and humbly asked for advice: "Then what should we do?"

The author has something to say:

Asked Shi Shi was speechless, and the mountain's voice was long and flat. ——Li Chengshu's "Singing Stones and Empty Mountains"

There are two more tonight.
