Chapter 148 Seeing the essence through the fog
He said he would continue to explore the secret of the blood evil in the afternoon, but Zhao Changhe did not go to Jingxin Temple to see Lu Shaoxiong, nor did he go to the new third son of the Gu family. Instead, he went to Huqiu Sword Pond again.
Seeing Zhao Changhe patrolling the edge of the pond, Sisi was incomprehensible.
Let anyone analyze this situation and think that the Tiger Hill Sword Pond is a misunderstanding. The real source of the evil aura lies outside. The young masters of the Lu family and the Gu family have been infected. We should look for places where they have both been.
For example, Tang Buqi was doing this with Gusu Zhenmo Si at this time. Sisi felt that it was rare for Master Tang to do something more reliable.
But Zhao Changhe, who always gave people a very reliable impression, seemed to have nothing to do at this time. He kept looking at the misunderstanding about Huqiu Sword Pond. After searching for half an afternoon, he still found nothing. He was still smiling.
Those who don’t know better think that this is just for taking the maid on an outing.
Although the surrounding scenery is indeed beautiful, and it is cool and comfortable by the pool, Sisi is a hard-working Sisi, and she does not sacrifice so much just to be comfortable...
"Sir." Seeing Zhao Changhe hiding under the shade of a tree watching ants, Sisi finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Sir, should we go to investigate the case like Master Tang and others?"
"Huh? Since they all went to find out where the young master of the Lu family and the Gu family went to the same places, it would be enough to ask them when the time comes. Why should I go to find out about the same thing?"
Sisi opened her mouth, but was speechless. After a while, she said, "That's not like watching ants here."
“Don’t underestimate ants. They are more sensitive than humans if there is any crisis.”
Sisi rolled her eyes speechlessly.
This may be effective for ordinary people, but your profound entrance has broken through to the fifth level, and wielding a knife weighing 40 to 50 pounds with one hand is just like playing. You are really not an ordinary person. Your five senses should have surpassed any animal in nature. To see what the ants are for, why not close your eyes and feel them yourself.
“Do you think it’s meaningless?” Zhao Changhe said with a smile: “But have you discovered...”
As he spoke, he threw away a piece of dessert left over from lunch.
Some ants quickly climbed up.
“...Have you noticed that there are so few ants here?”
Sisi was startled: "Could it be that the evil spirit is really here? Then why doesn't anyone feel it at all?"
“If the evil spirit causes ants to disappear, they will become extinct, and there will be no more of them.” Zhao Changhe said: “According to our common sense in life, what does it usually mean when we see ants moving?”
Sisi said: "It means there will be heavy rain, which may flood the ant nest."
“But there are no signs of rain recently, and these ants must have moved for a long time, so there are only such a small number left... Is it possible to think that they think there are other things to flood the ant nest, and they have been migrating early?”
Sisi’s eyes changed.
Although it seems that these thoughts are not very reliable since there are relatively few ants, but at this time, any small thing may really be a clue. Assuming that this inference is correct, even if it does not mean that there is evil in the sword pool, it can also mean that something will happen. , such as the pool water is about to overflow.
“Sir...did you...really guess this from observing ants?”
“Well, actually I think something has changed in Jianchi, so I came here specifically to find out if there is anything that can support my guess. Can these ants barely count as one?”
“…Just try to do it, the evidence is not sufficient.”
"However, I am not closing the case with the government. I don't need any hard evidence. I just need to verify some of my suspicions."
“So what do you suspect?”
"Well... let's put it this way, it has always been unknown whether there is such a evil treasure in Gusu. The Lu family's madness does not prove the existence of this thing. I can also go mad. What can it prove? So looking for The source of the evil spirit is a secondary matter.”
Sisi’s eyes widened in surprise: “Then what’s the main thing?”
"The main thing is that because the Yangzhou Maitreya Sect is destroyed, it will definitely lead to some kind of action by the leader Maitreya. In the environment where Maitreya Sect is spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, only Gusu is like a pure land. If I were Maitreya, this action would most likely Targeting Gusu first. It happened that he had also been looking for the evil spirit treasure before, and now the clue was in Gusu, so his eyes would naturally fall on this combination. Regardless of whether Maitreya himself came to Gusu or not, he would focus on Gusu. The action has definitely begun, and the Tang family must be the first to bear the brunt.”
Zhao Changhe said leisurely: "So there may not be evil spirits, but there must be changes in the Tang family. This is the main thing. And what role does this suspected evil thing play in it, and what is its impact on this matter? What is the focus of my analysis, it may help to break this situation. If you really try to find the source of the evil spirit, you will be led away by the nose. Maybe it doesn’t exist at all, and you will find a lonely place..."
Everyone has different starting points. No wonder she always felt that Zhao Changhe's attitude was strange. He didn't look like someone who was eager to find treasures, but more like he was solving a case. I thought it was normal. After all, the purpose of solving the case was to find clues to the treasure, but it was actually not the case at all.
What she didn't know was that the reason why Zhao Changhe was willing to take her with him on this matter was because he knew that she was not in the same group as the Maitreya Cult and might be able to help him. As for her goal, if it is an evil spirit treasure, it may conflict with her. This is really the second best thing.
Sisi thought for a long time and suddenly asked: "Sir, I heard that the blood evil skill you have practiced is now at the fifth level. The subsequent practice is limited by the limited energy and blood of the human body, and it may be difficult to make further progress. Yes Really?"
"It's not that exaggerated. Pure energy intake is not enough. It is true that you need to raise evil spirits. But raising evil spirits does not necessarily require any treasures. You can also kill people. Doesn't the Blood God Religion rely on this? Where do they come from so many treasure."
“…In other words, if there is a treasure that nourishes evil spirits, you are very eager for it?”
"right."
“Then why are you so calm, as if what you desire doesn’t exist?”
Zhao Changhe thought for a while, then smiled and said: "The treasure is quite important, but the loyalty of the people in the world is more important."
“Loyalty?” Si Siqi asked: “Because you are friends with Master Tang?”
"Yes." Zhao Changhe looked at the sky and saw that the sun was setting in the west, then turned and went down the mountain: "When we were drinking last night, wasn't Tang Buqi already my friend?"
Sisi followed and muttered: "Men are so weird, just have a drink."
“Didn’t I give you to me as a gift?”
…”
Zhao Changhe laughed: "There is one more thing..."
Sisi immediately said: "Could it be Tang Wanzhuang? Is the master really related to her?"
"Where are you thinking? She didn't even give a look. She really thought I was licking the dog." Zhao Changhe said leisurely: "It's because I don't want this beautiful Gusu to become a vacuum hometown of the Maitreya Cult... We learned martial arts , there’s always something to do.”
“Isn’t it because you have learned martial arts to live a better life for yourself?”
“Have you seen the afterglow of the setting sun?”
"ah?"
“That Yuhui is not only Yue Hongling, but also me, Zhao Changhe.”
…
After leaving Huqiu Sword Pond, he had just returned to the guest house to have some dinner. A figure flashed past, and Ji Chengkong appeared outside the door: "The guards of the Tang family are much sparser than those of the Lu family. They are almost as good as the toilet when they come in. I was wrong to think that the Tang family How capable.”
Zhao Changhe said: "The Lu family is heavily guarded?"
"Yes, they are so strict that I thought I was in the Demon Suppression Division. Fortunately, although they are strict, their level is too low, so I still let me find out." Ji Chengkong looked like we are familiar with each other, and sat down at the table. Bian: "Do you have any wine? I've been diving for a long time and I'm dying of thirst."
Sisi poured him a cup of tea next to him with a low eyebrow.
Ji Chengkong glanced at her again. This person's figure did look like the person he was looking for. Although he didn't recognize the face, that person was a master of disguise... However, there were people with similar figures everywhere, and Yue Hongling had some Like, if you use this reason to test disguise, you have to offend Zhao Changhe to death. There is no need...
He didn't get too entangled and said directly: "According to my investigation, the Lu family has a forbidden area, which is a hundred times stricter than the so-called sword pool forbidden area of the Tang family, and it cannot be passed by tokens or passwords. Only direct descendants of the Lu family can enter in person. It’s really strange that a small and broken family can be more mysterious than anything else.”
Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "If you have a ninth-level entrance hall at home, you are already someone who peeps into the secrets, and you are not considered a Xiaopo family."
"If you're not on the list, you're all rubbish." Ji Chengkong pointed at his nose: "I'm also at the sixth level of the Mystic Gate. You were only at the fourth level at the time. I didn't even dodge a punch. So I'm not on the list. The gap between those on the Qianlong List and you people on the Qianlong List is obvious."
“Brother Ji’s ability is not in fighting. As you said, when he steals things, he has a dagger or even a poisonous needle in his hand. Zhao really doesn’t dare to say whether he will fall into Brother Ji’s hands.”
Ji Chengkong was also a little pleased: "That's right, everyone has their own strengths. In short, I didn't find anything useful in this exploration, and there was no fun at all. I collected your deposit and it was enough. Wu Yanduo If you don’t want anything else, just say goodbye.”
“Hey, Brother Ji, wait a minute.” Zhao Changhe chased after him: “I have something to ask you...”
Sisi immediately tensed up.
