Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2212 Qilin
Du Ziqing's clothes were already in tatters and blood stains, but there was a lifelike wolf's head embroidered on the front of his clothes near his heart.

Like the wolf head that Baili Celing gave her before, this wolf head also had a circle of complicated patterns wrapped around it, making it look weird.

Although there are similarities in appearance, they are different in details.

For some reason, the one that Du Ziqing embroidered on the front of his shirt seemed more refined and refined, while the one on Baili Celing's was more rough.

One is carved and the other is embroidered. Although the shapes are different, traces of countless touches can be seen on the edge of the pattern.

Ying Baoyue lowered her eyes slightly, realizing clearly.

A piece of paper and a weapon are a perfect match.

"This wolf head is a pattern that only the two black tigers can use, right?"

"That's right." Du Ziqing looked at the pattern that he had embroidered and touched countless times. "The hidden piles of different levels use the patterns of different beasts to represent their respective identities, such as cattle, sheep and horses."

"The lowest level is the black sheep, and the highest level is..."

Having said that, Du Ziqing fell silent for some reason.

"What's wrong?" Ying Baoyue frowned, "The highest level should be wolf?"

It stands to reason that the representative pattern of the Black Tiger Army should be a black tiger, but she can understand why the dark pile respects wolves.

The more important your identity is, the more you should hide your identity. It is really dangerous to have a pattern like a tiger on your body.

Xirong people respect wolves, and many Xirong people will wear accessories related to wolves. The top of the hidden pile is decorated with the most common totem such as wolf, which can hide the trees in the forest and protect the identities of the most important two people.

"Generally speaking, the wolf head is indeed the highest level of concealment."

After a moment of silence, Du Ziqing raised his head and said, "But this can only be calculated after the death of Master Guoshi."

A strange premonition suddenly enveloped Ying Baoyue's heart, "Could it be..."

"Before Master Guoshi passed away, we were not the only ones hiding in Xirong." Du Ziqing's eyes were deep, "Even Master Guoshi himself came to Xirong to be a hidden stake."

Ying Baoyue felt chills down her spine, she had heard about it.

The number of high-level practitioners is limited. They are needed not only outside the Great Wall, but also inside the Great Wall. Those like Du Ziqing who have been undercover for more than ten years are only a part of them.

When the court needs information, it will send some high-level practitioners to serve as temporary hidden posts outside the Great Wall.

Of course, the identities of these individuals and this experience are kept strictly confidential.

Even when necessary, immortal officials or heavenly practitioners who hold important positions in the imperial court will be sent out when they are in danger.

Ying Baoyue pursed her lips slightly. She didn't know much about the top-level secrets of the secrets and the identities of those who had been secrets.

But she knows one of the biggest secrets.

That is, her master also disguised his identity and went deep into Xirong to investigate.But the content of the specific investigation, no matter how hard she asked, Master never told her.

Every word of Du Ziqing was full of deep meaning. Ying Baoyue took a deep breath and looked into the man's eyes.

"Then when Master was in Xirong, did he also have his own code words and hidden decorations?"

"Since it's a hidden stake, naturally follow the rules of the hidden stake," Du Ziqing said quietly.

The ominous premonition in Ying Baoyue's heart was getting deeper and deeper, "What is the pattern that represents Master's identity?"

Du Ziqing looked deeply into Ying Baoyue's eyes, "It's Qilin."

Kirin?

why?
Ying Baoyue originally thought that the master would use the pattern of a snake as the code name, but after thinking about it carefully, this is the same reason that the Black Tiger Army cannot use black tigers. If Lin Shubai uses the pattern of a flying snake, isn't it implying that she has something to do with Daqin? ?

It is understandable to use the patterns of other beasts to avoid suspicion, but why is it a unicorn?
On the Shanhai Continent, Qilin has another name.

That is Gou Chen.

Gouchen is also the god who guards a country.In a sense, he can be said to be the eight beast god with the least sense of existence.

Gou Chen is the god of the Middle Tang Dynasty.

Ying Baoyue clenched her fingers slightly. Why did her master use the spirit of Zhongtang as her code name?Is there any deep meaning?

But now is not the time to struggle with that.

Ying Baoyue gathered herself together, suppressing the uneasiness in her heart and asked, "Is the unicorn pattern only used by Master and her?"

Du Ziqing's gaze became complicated, "I originally thought so."

The whole world seemed to be silent for an instant.

Ying Baoyue suddenly understood what he meant.

"Du Ziqing," at this moment, Ying Baoyue heard the tremor in his own voice.

"The wild goose book you passed on before the city was destroyed, what kind of beast is engraved on it?"

"I'm afraid you have already guessed."

Du Ziqing looked straight into Ying Baoyue's eyes, "It's Qilin."

It turned out to be so.

Ying Baoyue understood everything.

Du Ziqing really didn't dare to open that wild goose book.

He is indeed not qualified to open that wild goose book.

The hidden ornament on the wild goose book that Du Ziqing received was a unicorn, which meant that the person who wrote the letter had the same status inside the hidden pile as her master.

A hidden pile with the same status as her master.

Countless complex emotions and guesses filled Ying Baoyue's heart, and her voice trembled a little.

"Du Ziqing, can these hidden decorations of your hidden posts be forged?"

Du Ziqing silently looked at the girl in front of her. She lowered her head quietly. He couldn't see her expression clearly, but he could see her eyelashes trembling slightly, just like her heart.

He knew what Ying Baoyue was guessing, just as he himself hoped to be so.

But facts are facts.

"Should, can't."

Du Ziqing paused word by word, "Your Highness, look carefully at the pattern on my skirt, the position of every stitch on it is exquisite, every hidden stitch has undergone special training, even I, It is impossible to copy other people's hidden decorations, such as Celing."

Ying Baoyue understood that these hidden decorations on the hidden piles are actually similar to the ancient version of anti-counterfeiting watermarks, such complex and unique patterns are extremely difficult to forge.

more importantly……

"More importantly, Your Highness Shao Si Ming, even if I admit my mistake, if the concealed ornament is really a forgery, can it really be hidden from the eyes of the National Teacher?"

No.

As the creator of the hidden stakes, her master couldn't even distinguish the authenticity of the secret words.

"Could it be that someone stole other people's hidden ornaments?"

"That's impossible," Du Ziqing lowered his eyelashes, "The first training we have undergone is to destroy everything that can prove our identity before we die."

He left this pattern in the back of his clothes because he still has one breath, and when he dies, he will choose to explode himself, even if he dies without a whole body, he will destroy everything.

Ying Baoyue fell silent.

"You passed that Yanshu to my master?"

Du Ziqing clenched her teeth, her joints creaking, "That's right."

After that, Ying Baoyue already knew about it.

"Master... went to see the owner of the Yan Shu?"
