Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 703

"He dared to steal luck and prolong his life, so he is so courageous." Master Mu bent his eyes and smiled, then slowly turned his head, "As far as the phrase 'fighting with the sky'—"

"I have always believed that each of us is born to fight against the sky."

"Just 'fighting with the sky' doesn't necessarily mean that you have to go against the sky, and you can also fight if you follow the way of heaven. Fighting against the way of heaven is called fighting, and breaking through the upper limit set by the so-called destiny is also called fighting."

"The difference is that those who follow the way will live more, while those who go against the way will die more." The little girl shook her eyelashes, raised her finger and said an understatement.

"Ayan, look at how many of those people throughout the ages who knew they couldn't do it but decided to do it against the sky, how many of them ended up in such a good way?"

"That's why it's common to say 'fighting against the sky', but like Shi Xiuqi, if he has nothing to do, he feels that he can rebel against the way of heaven, and starts to act recklessly, ignoring the lives of the world's souls—"

Mu Xici pulled his eyelids and made a silly grimace at the young man: "Either his brain is filled with water, or his brain is filled with water."

"Go, little girl, it's not good to always say such ugly things." Mo Junli laughed when he heard the sound, and immediately raised his hand to cover the little girl's mouth, "Master Guoshi, we want to be gentle."

"Bah, I'm not in the mood to be elegant with that kind of thing whose brains have been soaked in water." Master Mu curled his lips, and knocked the boy's paw away in two or three, "Come on, let's continue to talk about seriousness."

"In short, the speculation is probably like this. The most important question before us right now is who is the person sent by Shi Xiuqi who is most likely to lurk beside Mo Shuyuan."

"Naturally, I still have some directions for this person's identity, which can be used for our investigation and reference." The little girl's tone paused slightly, "A Yan, do you still remember what I said about the production of the 'human puppet'? method?"

"Well, I remember you mentioned it when I asked you last time." Mo Junli narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while, "The 'human puppets' were made by warlocks with lower levels, right?"

"It also needs to cooperate with the Laoshizi poisonous Gu, formations and talismans... and so on."

"Yes, because the body of an ordinary person can't bear so many poisonous Gu and talismans," Mu Xici nodded, "so the most critical material for making a human puppet is a poor reputation—at least it is better than that of the puppet. A puppet is far worse than a warlock."

"In this way, the scope of our search will be greatly reduced." Mu Da Guoshi raised his eyebrows leisurely as he said, "——we only need to first check out the warlocks under Mo Shuyuan's command."

"And as far as I know, in the previous life, besides Xie Sinian, who was cut off by you early in this life, and Su Hong, who has died in the forest suburb of Huai City, there were three capable people under Mo Shuyuan's command in the previous life."

"A witch doctor in the desert, a Gu master in southern Xinjiang, and finally a half-hearted old man who can't even compare with Su Hong——Among these three people, the old man doesn't need to be investigated, we just need to check the witch doctor and Gu master carefully. .”

"Don't check that old way," Mo Junli twitched the corners of his lips in response, "It's because his half-baked skills are too low. Shi Xiuqi doesn't like such a warlock at all, and he won't bother to turn him into a human puppet." ?”

"Well, this is probably one of the reasons." The little girl scratched her head embarrassedly and laughed, "Actually, the most important... is that the witch doctor and Gu master in the previous life died suddenly."

"One died in the late autumn of the 30th year of Changle, and the other died in the early spring of the first year of Pingyuan..."

"Both of these two died of illness suddenly, and they were not far from each other. In addition, I have been traveling around the border battlefield all year round. I really haven't seen these two people much. Therefore, I am really not sure which is the puppet and which is the criminal. The unlucky ghost who has an emergency..."

"Hey, A Yan, you understand." Master Mu smiled and bared his teeth at the young man, "But that old man didn't die suddenly, he accidentally offended Mo Shu around the seventh year of Pingyuan. far away, and was cut alive by his order."

... Well, he thought that this little girl had some profound reason that could not be understood by outsiders, but it turned out that it was only because of this.

After learning the truth, Mo Junli hid his face in disappointment, but he didn't have the guts to say anything to the little master, so he nodded his head: "Yes, Ah Ci, I understand everything."

"Master Guoshi, what should we do to investigate? Do you have any ideas?" The boy blinked, "Do you need me to send Xie Sinian a note to ask him to start a careful investigation?"

"The note can be handed over," Mu Xici pretended to cough, "but you must remember to tell Xie Sinian to do what he can, and don't startle the snake."

"It's fine if you can't find out. The connection between the puppet and the puppet maker is very close. If he misses a step and accidentally teaches the puppet to catch an omission, he will be discovered by Shi Xiuqi immediately." .”

"So, the focus of our investigation should not be Mo Shuyuan's side. It is best to change our thinking and go directly to Cha Sangruo and Xishang."

"Ayan, you can ask the people in Guanfeng Pavilion to check carefully how many witch doctors and Gu masters have disappeared in Sangruo and Xishang in the past 20 years. It is best to get another copy of their portraits."

Mo Junli raised his eyebrows in response: "The missing witch doctor and Gu master?"

"Yes, the witch doctors and Gu masters who have disappeared in the past 20 years." Master Mu nodded lightly, "I just happened to make the calculations. The last time Shi Xiuqi came to Qianping to renew the life of Old Master Xiao was on the [-]th. five years ago."

"At that time, Mo Shuyuan was already eleven or twelve years old. It was the age when his fate and ambition first appeared. Shi Xiuqi had the opportunity to meet that Mo Shuyuan back then."

"And making human puppets is really not an easy task. It needs to consume a lot of energy and physical strength of the puppet maker. Shi Xiuqi obviously can't make ten or eight human puppets at once. Slowly control the puppet."

"Naturally, considering Shi Xiuqi's thoughts and Taoism, if he can't guarantee it, he will make every step ahead of time-making a human puppet, which will take about three to five years. Therefore, we can Push that time forward a little bit."

"After five years, this is 20 years." Mu Xi said, stretching out a slender finger, "Besides, as you said before, Shi Xiuqi is very proud. An ordinary magician, he is I can't see it."

"The magician who can be made into a human puppet by him must have a lot of knowledge - Sang Ruo and Xishang have a small border, and there are not many people. They can become well-known witch doctors and Gu masters with real skills within a hundred years. , there are just a few in total.”

"It's easy to find out. In the desert and southern borders, witch doctors and Gu masters are not only warlocks, but also doctors who cure diseases and save lives. Their status is quite respected. The local people must know who has been missing for a long time."

"In this way, Ayan, let's just investigate the warlocks in these two places who have disappeared in the past 20 years." At this point, Master Mu gently clapped his hands, "It shouldn't take us much effort."

"And Ayan, I have a subtle premonition—I always feel that this puppet's original identity will come in handy one day."

　Yes, it is really useful
