When Chen Yun returned to the room, he immediately painted a soundproof spell. In order to protect the privacy of the candidates, there was no camera in the room.

Seeing this familiar formation, Su Dong squatted on the table calmly, with the words "stand up for battle" written in his dark Doudou eyes.

Turning around, Chen Yun said casually, "Gu Chenbi—"

Su Dong Ba Feng does not move, stable as Mount Tai;

Chen Yun looked it up and down suspiciously. After a long while, he finally answered a complete sentence: "Gu Chenbi—what did you go to Xishan back then? Do you know?"

"Although the five magic tools of suppressing demons hadn't been made yet." Chen Yun took the initiative to back down a step, and said in a persuasive manner, "but since your soul is also in the suppressing demon sword, it is equivalent to being carried by him. Knowing a little bit of the inside story, it should be very easy Is it reasonable?"

Su Dong said in a deep voice, "Well, reasonable."

Chen Yun put the watch Chen Goyi left him in front of Su Dong. It was a perpetual calendar watch.

Perpetual watches are generally very expensive to make, but this one is a parallel import with average workmanship. The year and month columns have stopped, and only the pointer is still ticking forward, but it is already inaccurate. Now it is obvious It is 12 o'clock, but it is displayed as 2 o'clock.

Chen Yun's slender fingers rested on the dial, knocking unconsciously, which coincided with the ticking of the pointer, as if pushing time forward.

Su Dong waited for him to speak.

After thinking for a while, Chen Yun said: "Although I still can't understand the purpose of Chen Quyi's leaving this watch to me, I suddenly remembered that when I saw him for the last time, he did mention a watch with lanterns on it. The village. He told me at the time: "There is a western mountain in this village, and there is an interesting temple on it. You must go and see it." Because he often disappeared from time to time and ignored his grandfather at all, my relationship with him was already very troubled. Stiff, and didn't take his words to heart. "

"Looking at it now, when he said these words to me at the time, did he anticipate that one day I would participate in the selection of the Special Investigation Bureau, and in the rematch, he chose Qiandeng Town as the topic?"

Su Dong: "Maybe it's because he thought you would remember what he said."

Chen Yun was expressionless: "Do you think I will listen to that bastard?"

Su Dong gathered his feathers: "Don't you remember his words clearly now, and you are preparing to go to Xishan?"

Chen Yun: "..."

Su Dong has already figured out Chen Yun clearly. He says he "hates" Chen Goye, but in fact his "love" part is always stubbornly fighting against the "hate" part.

It is a very magical trait to distinguish between love and hate and to be able to coexist with love and hate.

Chen Yun was rarely choked and forcibly changed the subject.

"I think there must be a secret in Xishan. Since there are two "dead people"," he emphasized his words, and looked at Su Dong: "They have both been to Xishan, and Chen Quyi's soul can't be called back. Then I want to ask, Gu Chenbi Why did you go to Xishan? "

Su Dong said slowly: "Gu Chenbi went to Xishan to find a miracle."

Chen Yun remembered what Ye Qingjiang said: "Phoenix?"

"To be precise, he didn't know what he was looking for at the time." Su Dong said: "The Special Investigation Bureau's understanding of demons now comes from the experience of fighting demons in the Qianji Pavilion in 1000 years. But at that time, no one knew what demons were. What, the devilish energy controlled by Mobei seems to have burst out of the ground overnight."

Chen Yun frowned: "There was no record of magic energy before? This is unreasonable."

He always thought that he had never seen Xuan Chao's previous descriptions of demon energy because the Qianji Pavilion did not deliberately preserve it when it was passed on.

"It's really unreasonable." Su Dong: "The devil's energy comes from the human heart. The deceased is like a husband, but the human's seven emotions and six desires, love, hatred and resentment, when have they changed since the beginning of the universe? Qi, under the rule of Human Emperor Fuxi, there will also be demonic energy."

"So at that time, Gu Chenbi believed that there were only three possibilities for why there had never been any records of demonic energy before. First, the records of various tribes resisting demonic energy did exist, but they were deliberately erased; There is a way to dissolve the devilish energy, just like winter snow and spring melting, the accumulation and dissipation of devilish energy is the natural way of heaven, no human intervention is required, and naturally there is no need to record it, but this cycle was broken at that time, so it was recognized by people. Discovery; third..."

The puppet bird's eyes were so dark that it seemed bottomless: "The devil's energy is indeed the first time since ancient times to appear, and it is the heaven's punishment that descended on the entire Shenzhou. Devils are born because of people, and people die because of devils. The human race will eventually be powerless." resistance."

Chen Yun raised half of his eyebrows: "Didn't you say that "Tianyan is four or nine, and people are one of them"?You are so crazy, why is there guess three? "

Su Dong said deeply: "Well, so the third guess was denied as soon as it appeared."

Chen Yun: "..."

What an annoying pretender.

He changed his position against the wall expressionlessly.

Su Dong: "It's like the mutual generation and restraint of yin and yang in the world. According to the first two guesses, there should be some way to break the magic energy in the world, but it has not been discovered yet."

Chen Yun thought about it and took the words: "So Gu Chenbi took the initiative to go to Beigu City. Beigu City has a special feng shui, and it is the place where evil energy is most likely to be born, but the people there can live and work in peace and contentment for a long time, which shows that there must be something to stop the evil energy. method of birth."

I don't know if it's because he had empathy with Ye Qingjiang thousands of years ago, Chen Yun seemed to be able to imagine the scene back then.

He murmured: "At that time, Gu Chenbi must have been very disappointed. Because he discovered that the so-called "method" was just not to be overjoyed or sad, and to prevent emotions to suppress the possibility of generating demonic energy.Once it was time to lose control of their emotions, the people in Beigu City also began to be possessed, even faster than ordinary people. "

A trace of complexity flashed in the little bird's eyes. It tried to nod, but failed because it had no neck.

Chen Yun: "Pfft."

Su Dong: "..."

Chen Yun calmly said, "Go ahead."

Su Dong: "But he got a key piece of information: Beigu City once enshrined the divine bird Phoenix. According to ancient records, the Phoenix is ​​noble and clean, and it doesn't hesitate to wash itself with blood."

Chen Yun thought for a while: "It sounds like a way of purification."

"Yes." Su Dong: "The Phoenix Temple is on the top of the west mountain, and more importantly, there is a Phoenix Mausoleum under the temple."

Chen Yun was surprised: "Then you found Phoenix's body?"

After the tribute paid by the ferret, he began to automatically calculate how much the phoenix can be exchanged for materials.

"No." Su Dong seemed to see through what he was thinking, and was a little speechless: "He saw a lingering vision and got a phoenix fire. Today's demon-suppressing runes evolved from that phoenix fire of."

"Wait a minute, illusion?" Chen Yun is very sensitive to all words such as "illusion" now: "Like the illusion that appeared tonight?"

Su Dong paused: "There are indeed some similarities."

There is a dim moon outside the window, and the Milky Way is still as bright as it was thousands of years ago.

Chen Yun suddenly realized that if what Su Dong and Ye Qingjiang said was true, then the time when the demon soldiers besieged the city and Gu Chenbi entered Beigu City might be tonight thousands of years ago.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yun said, "I want to go to Xishan to have a look."

Su Dong nodded and got stuck in the middle, then raised his head back as if nothing had happened, and said, "Well, I'm with you."

-

Special Investigation Bureau, in the proctor's room.

Before Xie Shiqi and Xiang Xuan got off work, they deliberately turned to the invigilator's room to check the situation.

——The rematch lasted too long, and the three chief examiners in important positions could no longer stare at the screen all the time like they did in the preliminary round.

The staff reported: "The contestants in the first competition area have become one with the local koi demons and water ghosts, and they are still trying to destroy the ecology of the Jinling River. It may take a while before they find out that the task is focused on the mountains..."

"The contestants in the second division found that the haunting is related to Wuhou Temple, but they don't know when they will realize that the Seven Star Array is in Wuzhangyuan, not in Shucheng..."

"The third division..."

"As for the fourth competition area——" the staff had a strange expression, and said implicitly: "They seem to be doing the task, but they don't seem to be doing the task."

The staff opened up the record of the competition so far, and played it to Xiang Xuan and Xie Shiqi: "This case should be caused by the mirage in the river. The focus is to investigate the source of the mirage, but they seem to have some deviations in their understanding of the topic."

The two looked at the beginning for a while, and their expressions gradually became horrible.

"How will this group of people go on missions? First beat up my teammates? Then because the teammates laughed wildly after being injured, the enemy steals their house? With this quality, how will we conduct operations in the future?!"

Xie Shiqi clutched his blue-veined forehead, he couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and said, "Mirages appear at night like demons, what are they doing now?"

The staff replied cautiously: "Uh... Judging from the previous picture, he is sleeping."

Xie Shiqi: "..."

"Uh..." Xiang Xuan adjusted his glasses, and calmly said, "Minister Xie, calm down, calm down. It is against the rules to rush over and beat candidates."

Xie Shiqi patted the monitoring station frantically, and roared: "At their stage, at their age, can they sleep well?!"

The scene was so shaken that it accidentally skipped a section and went directly to the part where everyone competed to be the bride.

Xie Shi gave an iron fist, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "They are here to perform comedy, right?"

She was about to prepare for the next wave of roaring, when suddenly, the night wind blew up in the picture, the red silk was transformed into white silk in an instant, the long streets on both sides turned into barren mountains and wild mountains, and the strange scene of red and white lanterns intertwined could be seen from a distance.

"Wait," Xie Shiqi frowned suddenly, "Is this the illusion of a mirage?"

Xie Shiqi suddenly took the mouse and played all the videos at ten times the speed. Xiang Xuan also leaned over, frowned and looked at the screen carefully.

Everyone was frightened by the sudden serious atmosphere, and was at a loss for a while, not knowing what happened.

After a while, Xie Shiqi put down the mouse and spoke quickly: "Contact Gu Xingze and Fu Tu immediately and tell them that the game is suspended and everyone, including the villagers, should evacuate the village immediately. Ask the nearest three teams to go to support and ensure that all After people evacuate, immediately seal up the village."

"Also, who was the person from the action team who reported this case? Call him over immediately." Xie Shiqi turned his head, with a chilling expression on his face: "If you can't be contacted, you will be wanted immediately, and you will arrest this person at all costs." return."

Everyone didn't dare to vent their anger, a chill rose from their backs, and they all nodded in acceptance.

Xiang Xuan said in a low voice: "It seems that we have the same judgment. This is not something that mirages can do...it can only be that thing."

"I didn't expect to appear here in this form..."

Xie Shi's eyes were filled with extremely complicated emotions: "Yes."

Soon, a staff member came back with a face full of horror, and swallowed hard: "Department Xie, Lian... can't get in touch... I don't know why, a few minutes ago, the fourth division lost contact with the outside world."

"Uh..." Liang An from the action team walked into the invigilator room, and said in a deep voice, "Boss, that person somehow got into the list of follow-up team members, and he is now in the fourth competition area."

-

Qiandeng Town, Xishan.

Chen Yun went up the mountain with a lamp.

Ye Qingjiang left this lamp at his door, and left a note: "The lamp drives away all bad luck, be careful on the road."

It seems that after the conversation at that time, it was expected that he would go to find out.

The light cut the way forward in the darkness, and Chen Yun quickly went up to the top of the mountain, and a small temple appeared in front of him.

This temple is small in scale, with a narrow room, and a clay sculpture of a phoenix with fiery red wings is enshrined in the middle. The eyes are painted golden and glow slightly under the light.

There was only a little dust on the sculpture and the altar, which meant that there were still people who came to worship regularly, and this person was naturally Ye Qingjiang.

Chen Yun looked around and found nothing unusual, and asked in a low voice, "Where is the entrance of the Phoenix Mausoleum?"

"It's right behind the statue of the divine bird." Su Dong replied, "However, there is someone behind you."

Chen Yun's heart tightened, he clasped the throwing knife in one hand, and turned around suddenly with the lantern.The fire illuminated the temple gate, and suddenly a tall figure was clearly reflected, dragging a long shadow from the side.

Gu Xingze folded his arms and looked at him inexplicably.

The two looked at each other for a moment: "..."

Chen Yun was speechless: "Why did you follow?"

Gu Xingze was even more speechless: "I'm here to invigilate the exam. I haven't asked you yet, what exactly are you doing sneaking around in the middle of the night, throwing off the camera, and going up the mountain alone?"

What Chen Yun originally thought was that this matter might not have anything to do with the exam questions, he just wanted to know what Chen Xiangyi's purpose was, it was considered a private matter, so it was best to do it in private.

But this must not be true, Chen Yun said with a blank expression: "I'm here for the exam. I'm not going up the mountain secretly, waiting for others to copy my answers nicely?"

Gu Xingze looked at him suspiciously.

Chen Yun quietly injected a little magic energy into the flying knife, he wanted to take advantage of Gu Xingze's relaxation of vigilance and knock him out.

However, a familiar smell and Su Dong's reminder arrived at the same time: "There is one more."

Chen Yun's throwing knife brushed against Gu Xingze, and shot at the shadow behind him with a flash of cold light, a cloud of black mist erupted at the point of impact.

Gu Xingze reacted very quickly, dodged sideways, took out his gun and pointed it behind him.

Suddenly a person appeared from the shadow, blood was flowing from that person's arm, but after pulling out the throwing knife, the wound healed at an inhuman speed.

Gu Xingze's pupils shrank, and he recognized that he was a staff member of one of the action teams. However, his expression was distorted and grim at the moment, and he could tell at a glance that something was not normal.

The "staff" smiled meaningfully: "It turns out that the mausoleum is right behind, I'm really grateful..."

Gu Xingze fired three bullets in an instant, and time seemed to be frozen at this moment. The three bullets painted with demon-suppressing runes lit up in the air, unfolding a huge intertwined golden net, and instantly gathered the "staff" in it. .

However, the "staff" suddenly exploded into a cloud of black mist, pierced through the gap in the giant net, and shot directly at the back of the statue!

Gu Xingze looked ugly: "Demon?!"

He quickly took out the communication equipment for contacting the headquarters, but found that the signal had been completely blocked.

There are monsters lurking in the operation team, and they are suddenly disconnected from the outside world...

problem occurs.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Gu Xingze turned to Chen Yun and asked, "He said the mausoleum? What's down there?!"

According to Su Dong, the Phoenix Mausoleum is already empty at this moment, if there were really anything there, it would have been taken away by Gu Chenbi when he evacuated back then.

If there is really anything, it can only be left by Chen Goyi.

But what would Chen Goui leave behind, and even let the monsters lurk and plan for a long time, just to get it?

It was cold at night in the mountains, and a gust of mountain wind passed through the temple gate. It seemed that some information was carried in the wind and was brought to Chen Yun's mind.

His hand felt the perpetual watch in his pocket.

Suddenly, all the details were connected together in a flash, as if the inspiration from God made him think of an unimaginable possibility.

"Invigilator," Chen Yun said with a cold back, "I want to ask you a question."

He took out the watch, and the column of the year and month on the dial, which had been stagnant, turned crazily as if pulled by some kind of force.

Chen Yun asked: "Since there is such a thing as Pan Gu's eye that can see through the future, is there some kind of magic weapon that can go back to the past in the current comprehension world, or let the past and the present overlap in time and space?"

Like a snow-white knife cutting through the tulle, Gu Xingze suddenly realized that what happened in this town did point to a tiny, sensational possibility.

"Yes." Gu Xingze's throat tightened: "The Xie family has lost the light tracing wheel for 20 years."
