Chapter 88 The Unspeakable Secret
(No, no, no drop... more so...)
…………………
It took three days to find a man who didn't know whether he was alive or dead. To everyone in Xuanmen, it was like a dream.
In the end, Shen Yindeng came up with a plan to trick Si Teng into going to southern Xinjiang, saying that there had been a Biao tribe in the southwestern Miao area, and it was very likely that it was Baiying.
As always, Yan Furui couldn't participate in such a 'meeting', he could only watch the people coming and going from the main room of Canghong Temple, as if they were planning some ulterior secret.
It wasn't until the end of the meeting that Cang Hong unified his speaking skills before dismissing everyone and went to visit Si Teng alone to report their 'new discoveries'.
Among them, when Bai Jin left with his notebook in his arms, Yan Furui glanced at it from afar. It was an engraving printed from an ancient book. In the painting, countless ordinary people ran away in panic. It is huge, its body is as thin as a pole, and its eyes are long and narrow, lifelike.
Just a simple glance made him feel a little chilled.
At this time, it was getting late, and the moonlight was like water, sprinkled on the jade pot.
Siteng sat on the rattan chair in the courtyard and watched the koi playing in the water. His long, silky, waterfall-like hair fell from his side shoulders, and the strands of hair were dotted in the water, creating ripples.
Zhou Ji originally wanted to find Shen Yindeng, but when he saw Cang Hong visiting, he stayed after a little thought, and said with a smile, "I don't know why Cang Hong Guanzhu came this time?"
"Well~ it's like this." Cang Hong had a kind face, hiding the murderous intent in his heart under a smile, and said in a harmonious voice, "We have been busy all day today, and everyone asked their acquaintances everywhere, it really pays off. , although it is still not clear, but there are still some clues."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Ji and then at Si Teng.
Si Teng said indifferently: "I said before how hard it is to find, how difficult it is, now I have a clue? Isn't this too fast?"
"It's a matter of family and life, everyone is very anxious, for fear that if you are too late, you will die of poison." Canghong is an old man, and his words are tight, even Zhou Ji did not notice the flustered fluctuations in his tone and eyes. "Although we have some clues, we don't dare to confirm it yet, but we still need to let us know in advance, lest Ms. Si Teng misunderstand that we are procrastinating."
"Misunderstanding is not enough." Si Teng cast a slanted glance at Zhou Ji, and read in a cold tone, "We all cooperate and win-win."
Cang Hong laughed awkwardly, just about to say goodbye, but stopped again.
"I still have something to ask President Canghong." Si Teng turned back to look at Canghong, as if talking about an insignificant bystander, and said, "I heard that when Qiu Shan killed me, you and Your master is there?"
Cang Hong smiled apologetically: "I was still an ignorant child back then, and I didn't understand anything."
"What was the situation at that time, can you tell me about it?"
Si Teng's tone was very polite, and Cang Hong also relaxed a little, recalling the past when he was young.
"Back then, the three masters Qiu Shan, Li Zhengyuan, and Huang Yu found your trace through the seven-star stone plate."
"Because Ms. Si Teng was weak after giving birth, the three of them worked together to kill you. Master Qiu Shanxuan burned your bones with thunder, but the strange thing is that they couldn't be refined. You kept shouting in the fire that you would come back."
"I didn't expect that after more than seventy years, you actually came back."
"So the reason why Baiying befriended Qin Laifu was to foster the child in the Qin family to avoid Qiu Shan's pursuit, and then let the descendants of the Qin family go to Dana to find the Jia family in eighty years. Is this also one of her plans?"
All the pieces have been pieced together, not only Zhou Ji, but also Si Teng himself has seen all this clearly.
"If Qin Fang really has Baiying's blood in his body, then his blood will be the only way to revive me." Si Teng looked at Zhou Ji quietly, "It's a pity that Baiying misjudged you She didn't know that eighty years later, there would be not only her descendants in Dana, but also a more mysterious you."
"It can activate the nine-eyed dzi bead that has exhausted its spiritual power, and it can even use it to control my life and death." Si Teng said with a complicated expression, "I made up my mind as early as the day when Qiu Shan's restriction was lifted, and from now on I will only do it for myself. And live, no longer controlled by others, to this day, I still often have murderous intentions, wanting to kill you."
"But you didn't do anything." Zhou Ji knew that what Si Teng said was true through the feedback from the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead, but he still laughed nonchalantly, "I once said that I won't be a dog, and I don't want to enslave others to be a dog." Dog. We are an equal cooperative relationship, I will not listen to you and pamper you like licking a dog; nor will I restrict you and control you like Qiu Shan."
"You can rest assured about this."
Si Teng believed Zhou Ji's words.
After acquaintance for so long, she has actually been hiding something from Zhou Ji and never told it.
The nature of the feedback of the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead is mutual.
When Zhou Ji used the feedback from the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead to learn about Si Teng's emotions, she could also feel the change in Zhou Ji's mood.
It is precisely because of this kind of mutual understanding that she can let go of her defenses and achieve mutual trust with Zhou Ji.
"Canghong didn't know that Baiying was Si Teng's pseudonym, and he didn't even know who it was, so how could he get any clues?" Si Teng chuckled, with a confident smile on his lips, "I don't think it will be a few days, he They will use another Khan to set a trap and lure us into it."
"Since you want to ask them to help you find Baiying, why don't you tell them the clues obtained by the Qin family?" Zhou Ji asked puzzled, "It has been more than seventy years since Baiying died, and her bones should be there. In the secondary painting."
"I have my own plan." Si Teng looked at Zhou Ji with a complicated expression, but did not answer this question.
Can't tell the reason, and don't want to think about the reason, but simply don't want to tell Zhou Ji the biggest difference between her and other Bing people.
In the miscellaneous diary of the Han nationality that Zhou Ji often reads, she has already torn out the description about herself.
He can only know how powerful Si Teng was back then through the small letter left by Qiu Shan, but he doesn't know the origin of his strength, which lies in:
cannibalism
The two have known each other for so long, and Si Teng has never eaten anything, but occasionally drinks some tea and drinks. Every time Zhou Ji asked, Si Teng would answer that the Biao people do not need to eat food.
To this day, Zhou Ji is still tirelessly persuading Si Teng that there are countless delicacies in the world, and it would be a pity to only drink drinks.
But she didn't know that her rations were actually the same kind.
Eat the same kind and take away the opponent's ability.
This is Si Teng's powerful capital, but it is also a secret she subconsciously does not want to tell Zhou Ji.
And her most essential purpose is actually to let Xuanmen help her find other Bian tribes, and then devour them, and further get rid of the shackles of the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead.
