Chapter 238 "Five Powers" (5400 chapters)

Wei Chen still called himself "Chen Wei" in front of Zheng Xiu.

He may have habitually concealed his real surname—the royal family of the Wei family.

The connection between Incomplete Building and Zheng's came from a simple conversation.

Wei Chen first used the excuse of "a pair of maids" to ask for directions.

After a long meal, we finally had a face-to-face conversation.

During the conversation, Zheng Xiu did not reveal Wei Chen's true identity, but revealed the fact that he was hooking up with a certain prince.

Wei Chen is a straightforward person, since he has the idea of ​​"asking for directions", he naturally has other plans.There is no other reason, only one person: candle.

He knew that Fengbei was by Zheng Xiu's side, and he also knew that Fengbei was hunted down by Ye Weiyang in Shuzhou not long ago.

Wei Chen only said one thing at the time: "Master Hou only needs to agree to Chen to kill Lord Ye on a certain day in a certain year, and now everything in the ruined building will be sent by Master Hou."

The cooperation between Zheng Xiu and Wei Chen is due to the treasure Wang Cangyun.What made Zheng Xiu agree to this matter was Jiang Gaoyi's "observation of words and demeanor" towards Wei Chen.

Jiang Gaoyi's answer surprised Zheng Xiu at the time, but later Zheng Xiu understood.

Wei Chen regards Wang Cangyun as his father.

A father who is closer than Wei Yangzun.

It was precisely after I figured this out that we hit it off later and formed the "remnant" department of the Disaster Prevention Bureau.

When Zheng Xiu asked this question, Chen Wei smiled and said, "Chen doesn't know."

"I know you don't know, so I just talked."

Zheng Xiu took out a map as if by magic, and spread it on the empty space of the big table.

The territory of Dagan and surrounding countries are drawn on the map.

The desert, the Western Regions, the East China Sea, the North Man, and the Southern Wilderness wetlands.

At this time, the second girl with blond hair acted as Wei Chen's eyes, staring at the map carefully.

Shekui's throat trembled, making a "hissing" sound.

Wei Chen smiled and shook his head: "Snake, the Scarlet King is not an outsider, so there is no need to be like this."

She Kui stopped hissing when he heard the words, with dissatisfaction hidden in his eyes.

Ye Kui's eyes lit up, and he said softly: "The landlord, the map shown by the prince shows the location of the current branch of the Disaster Prevention Bureau."

Ye stroked the map with his fingers, telling the current branch of the Disaster Prevention Bureau respectively.

Now the sphere of influence of the disaster prevention bureau has spread all over the north, central Sichuan, and southern Guizhou in just one month.

"Do you know why I acted this time, deliberately tossing such a momentum?"

Wei Chen thought about it for a while, and then admired: "My lord's move is to lure the hiding night master to appear."

Zheng Xiu smiled slightly: "There is indeed such an intention, but not all. Ming people don't speak secretly, let me ask you, do you know the true identity of Yezhu?"

Wei Chen was silent.

Zheng Xiu asked again: "Let me change the question, do you know how long he lived?"

The pupils of Ye and Snake shrank at the same time, and a faint green light suddenly appeared in Snake's eyes, and the pupils shrank into vertical lights.

Even though Zheng Xiu is not an "official person", but "observing words and demeanor" is the basic skill of the richest man, he nodded and smiled immediately, understood, and said: "Since you and I know his identity well, I don't need to hide it." on."

Wei Chen sighed: "The Chi Wang is open and bright. Chen has been hiding in the desert like a mouse crossing the street for these years, and accidentally found a clue related to 'candle'."

He changed the name of that person from "Night Lord" to "Candle", obviously the conversation really opened up now.At the same time, there is still a sense of probing between the lines. If Zheng Xiu expresses doubts about the name "Zhu", it means that Zheng Xiu does not know as much as he does.

But Zheng Xiu's reaction in the next second made Wei Chen feel sure, Zheng Xiu was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Did you see the inscription on the stone wall in Gong Nie's treasury?"

Ye Kui's soft voice came from behind the veil, hiding his surprise: "My lord has ever crossed the desert?"

Ye's reaction undoubtedly confirmed Zheng Xiu's guess.

Wei Chen really knew a lot.

Everything seemed to be connected.

At this time, Feng Bei and Zheng Xiu looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and they read a different meaning from each other's eyes in unison.Under the table, Zheng Xiu secretly stood up with two fingers, and "walked" towards Fengbei's hand with one finger. When he got closer, the tiger came out of the cage, and pinched Fengbei's soft little hands with a swish, quickly and quickly. Skillfully took off Feng Bei's gloves, held them in his palms and gently kneaded them.

This intimacy hidden under the table was sneaky and made Fengbei feel strangely happy while blushing.

So exciting.

Fengbei let Zheng Xiu play with her little hands.

Her "ominousness", now only Zheng Xiu and the orange cat can touch it at will.

follow him.

Anyway, no one can see it.

Fengbei was thinking wildly in his heart like a broken jar.

Speaking of the desert, Fengbei once again thought of the ten years when he and Zheng Xiu were lingering in the world in the painting.

Closer to home, Zheng Xiu had two minds, teasing Feng Bei while talking about business.With a serious expression on his face, he said: "I have seen a rare copy of "Eternal Dark Secret Record", which records the legend of an ancient man thousands of years ago, the "Sun Chaser". Zhu is this person, he Perhaps he is the first 'foreigner' to be written down in a thousand years."

Wei Chen continued: "I don't know if the inscription in Mr. Nie's treasury was leaked unintentionally. It is engraved with a celestial phenomenon called 'convergence'. People are divided into black and white, and the world is divided into inside and outside. The 'eternal world' we live in and the mysterious 'ever dark' There will be a 'confluence' every hundred years, and the filth that is often secretly leaked from the confluence will infect the Changshi, causing all kinds of 'phenomena' that cannot be measured by common sense to appear in the Changshi."

Zheng Xiu nodded: "Chang'an's closeness is a fatal attraction to strangers, just like poison. Zhu was looking for something called 'Scorching Sun' thousands of years ago, and he didn't know what he saw in the end, which made him hesitate. Every hundred years, thousands of human souls are used to construct ghosts and monsters to attract "eternal darkness", and then use the flesh and blood of different people as "human pillars". Restoring peace forever."

Wei Chen clenched his fists: "Every 100 years, countless people die because of Zhu's layout. But I don't understand why Zhu would leave clues about him in Nie Gong's treasury, let alone mention what he said. Everything about the layout."

Zheng Xiu noticed that Feng Bei's palms were sweating, and she took the initiative to hold Zheng Xiu tightly, her five fingers trembling slightly.Zheng Xiu instantly understood that Fengbei remembered what happened 200 years ago, and even more so, those people who died 200 years ago, so Fengbei's palms moved more quickly and rhythmically.

At first, Feng Bei didn't understand, so he thought he was just scratching, and was about to roll his eyes. Soon, Zheng Xiu's scratching rhythm was nine shallow and one deep, and five shallow and three deep. Feeling ashamed, annoyed and missing, he pulled out his hand forcefully to stop letting Zheng Xiu make trouble.

Feng Bei's face was calm, and he stretched out his hand to pull the drooping temple hair behind his head: "Don't bother to say that the food is cold. Wait a minute, Cook He should be angry again." As he said, Feng Bei put a piece in Zheng Xiu's bowl. Stir-fried the mussels and said: "My lord, please respect yourself."

Seeing that Feng Bei's mood improved, Zheng Xiu laughed loudly, poked open the shells with thick chopsticks, picked up the delicious mussel meat and put it into his mouth, chewing it with relish.

"Chef He's cooking skills have improved." Zheng Xiu was full of praise, continued to look at Wei Chen, and said, "The clues left in Mr. Nie's treasury were intentional."

Wei Chen frowned: "How do you say that?"

Zheng Xiu smiled and replied: "His layout is far-reaching. It seems to predict every step of the world. It is far beyond our imagination. You and I should not underestimate the old monster who has lived for a thousand years. His 100-year-old cloth will fall, and at the same time he will Preparing for the next hundred years is interlocking and terrifying. More than 200 years ago, the three aliens selected by Zhu were Lou Mengkong, the governor of the secret factory, Cheng Xiao, the emperor killer, and ...Xieluo River."

When the word "Xie Luohe" was mentioned, Zheng Xiu's expression was calm, but his chest was inexplicably pulled.

Wei Chen showed a thoughtful expression, Zheng Xiu put the dishes into the mouth, tasted the cooking skills of He Chef, accompanied by fine wine, and continued: "The layout 200 years ago also contributed to Gongsun Mo's desire for Chang An, Gongsun Mo Mo explored the mystery, fell into it, and 100 years ago, became a "human pillar."

Wei Chen was surprised that the "history" that Zheng Xiu explored was much more than what he knew.How could he have expected that Zheng Xiu and Feng Bei, in the identities of Gongsun Mo and Xie Luohe respectively, "personally" experienced all that happened that year.

Wei Chen was puzzled: "Kerenzhu needs three people."

"The ceremony of sacrificing the human pillar does not necessarily require the three human pillars to be gathered at the same place. If I guessed correctly, he only needs to set up his game at a similar time before the century comes."

Wei Chen was surprised, and then suddenly realized: "So that's the case, no wonder 20 years ago..."

He hesitated to speak, and looked at Fengbei.

The skylight opened, Zheng Xiu didn't intend to hide this past, he glanced at Feng Bei, Feng Bei nodded to him, Zheng Xiu said: "So, 20 years ago, in Baili Village, he chose you, Feng Bei As the pillars of human beings, the two Bei people promoted the tragedy of Baili Village. However, I am still not sure who the third alien was 20 years ago."

Zheng Xiu said in a deep voice: "I still have a lot of doubts. The reason why Zhu attacked Fengbei again and again, besides Fengbei's natural alien, there must be other reasons. Maybe it's because you and Fengbei have been very close. It is always dark, so it should be the most ideal candidate to become the 'Pillar of Man'."

Wei Chen nodded, he obviously knew about it.

"But in fact, do you really have to do it?" Zheng Xiu asked himself and answered: "If you really have to do it, he just needs to try his best to arrange around the two of you. 'Yeweiyang'?"

"If I'm not mistaken, he has the method of peeling off the 'strange thing' from the alien, and also has the method of finding a 'candidate' who is compatible with the 'weird thing'!"

"He created Ye Weiyang to create new 'inhumans' more conveniently!"

"Just as he made the 'Arvenist'!"

"Is there a remedy for the failed ritual?"

"He created Ye Weiyang to make up for the mistakes in the layout 20 years ago, or to prepare for the next hundred years?"

"What will the failure of candles 20 years ago bring to Changshi?"

"Or, did he really miscalculate 20 years ago? Or, the escape of the two of you 20 years ago was also part of his plan?"

"I speculate that he dare not approach the imperial city casually, but is this really the case?"

"If you want to catch a big fish, you need heavy bait! Now I'm setting up the Disaster Prevention Bureau with great fanfare, and naming the part where you aliens are 'pillars', clearly telling him that I know him, and I know him all these years Everything in the picture!"

"The Disaster Prevention Bureau has such a big movement, and there are frequent conspiracy cases in the world, but he seems to have disappeared in the sea of ​​people, and there is no news. I don't believe that killing the crowman can really cut off Zhu's eyeliner. I founded the Disaster Prevention Bureau In the early morning of that day, Jiang Gaoyi had confirmed that one of them was acting furtively, with a dull face and a stiff manner. Jiang Gaoyi couldn't see through it. I doubted his identity, so I asked someone to follow him secretly. He fled a hundred miles outside the city and turned into an inexplicable A puddle of blood, utterly dead."

Wei Chen was terrified when he heard the words, stood up suddenly, knocked over the wine glass: "Is he the candle?"

Zheng Xiu asked back, "Have you ever seen a candle?"

Wei Chen sat down again, calmed down, and shook his head slowly.

Zheng Xiu turned his head and asked Feng Bei with a complicated expression, "Have you seen it?"

Fengbei was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head.

"So, no one has ever seen Zhu, or Zhu has lived for thousands of years, and has almost reached the end of the alien, and has realized all kinds of evil abilities. It is hard to guess, he may be anyone, he may be the emperor, It may be a high-ranking official, it may be a humble tenant, it may be a brothel woman, it may be a child babbling, it may be you, or it may be me."

Wei Chen let out a long breath, his complexion changed a few times, and he finally calmed down: "What the prince said...shocked the world, and Wei was amazed."

He suddenly changed his name to Wei, and She Kui was about to attack, but Ye Kui suddenly grabbed She Kui's hand.

Zheng Xiu noticed this and shook his head with a smile.It seems that Wei Chen didn't know that Chu Susu had accidentally slipped his mouth.

After clarifying the words, Zheng Xiu set his sights on the map again.

"What I want to say is that none of us has ever seen Zhu. Finding him... is difficult! But it's not impossible."

"Zhu used to have the means of 'swift thousands of miles', but that was the ability of the crowkeeper. Now that the crowkeeper is dead, Zhu's actions have been restricted. It is absolutely impossible for him to disappear like usual."

"Since Zhu has been able to create Ye Weiyang all these years, there may be other assistance. After all, what he does cannot be done alone."

"He didn't just want to escape for his life. If he really wanted to escape, he just needed to hire a boat and hide on a deserted island in the sea. No one could find him. But in this way, he would not be able to fulfill his so-called ambition."

Wei Chen understood, frowned and said, "My lord, you mean that the candle has been hidden in the market all this time."

"After the death of the crowman, he could only hide in the market. Otherwise, he would not be able to know the world and the movements of other people."

At this time, Ye Kui took the initiative to fill Zheng Xiu's glass with wine, his beautiful eyes were moist, and he softly praised: "My lord's words are justified."

Zheng Xiu pointed to the Western Regions: "You have stayed in the desert for many years, and Ruozhu is hiding in the countries of the Western Regions. It is absolutely impossible for you to know nothing, and it is absolutely impossible for you to leave no trace. Now the power of the Disaster Prevention Bureau is expanding rapidly. But wherever there is a conspiracy, there may be candles. He lit the fire, and we put it out, so I don’t need to worry about it.”

"The southern wilderness wetland is full of poisonous insects, and the climate is so hot that ordinary people cannot live in it."

"In the next step, I plan to extend the tentacles of the Disaster Prevention Bureau to the coast of the East China Sea in Dagan and the northern barbarian countries. The northern barbarian countries are easy to say, they are all foreigners, so there is no need to give face, but the east of Dagan is the 'iron' The River Chamber of Commerce's territory, our Zheng family and the Iron River Chamber of Commerce have always kept the water in the river, so it is not easy to start."

While the Disaster Prevention Bureau was expanding and dealing with the conspiracy, Zheng Xiu ordered people to deal with the clues that might be hidden in each conspiracy.Every time at this time, Zheng Xiu felt very headache.To find a mere person in the vast crowd, it is hard to reach the sky.

Rather, it is too easy to go to the sky, just grow wings and take off in place.

It is difficult to find someone, and it is difficult to get on.

After eating for nearly an hour, Chef He saw a few people eating happily on the way, and from time to time sent some wine and side dishes.

After chatting, Zheng Xiu discussed at the dinner table the provinces where the candle might appear, and together analyzed the unusual features of nearly a hundred conspiracies in the past month, trying to figure out the cocoons and try to reverse the future of the candle as the perpetrator. step.

After a meal, the relationship between Wei Chen and Zheng Xiu became much closer, and there was no longer the usual estrangement.

At the end, Zheng Xiu was a little drunk and was about to leave.

The orange cat, who had been quiet all night, wobbled up to the table, breathing heavily.When Zheng Xiu saw it, he couldn't help laughing. It turned out that the orange cat secretly knocked over the jug and licked a few mouthfuls.

The orange cat squinted at the map on the table, and suddenly stretched out its paw to pat it.

The cat's paw fell off the map.

"This silly cat is drunk."

Zheng Xiu thought that Orange Cat would shoot Wang Zha, but it turned out that he was drunk and happy for nothing.By the way, while the orange cat drank too much, I secretly scolded it.

At the end of the meal, Zheng Xiu simply pretended to be drunk and lay down on the table. Feng Bei patted him a few times, but he didn't wake up. He could only carry Zheng Xiu on his shoulder with one hand, and jumped up and down from the roof a few times, and jumped back to the Red Palace.

Until the end of July.

As the Disaster Prevention Bureau opened more and more branches, almost all the personnel from the Disaster Prevention Bureau Headquarters were dispatched and scattered all over the place.

Two things happened in July.

One is that the monk finally returned to Jiangjun Town, went up the mountain, and returned to the temple.

Zheng Xiu saw the crying face of "Huahua Station" on the game table one day, he was puzzled, and tried to start the fugue as the avatar of "Zheng Shan", and threw it out.In an instant, he traveled thousands of miles to Yunliu Temple.

It was midnight when Zheng Xiu arrived, and more than a hundred monks sat silently in mourning.

The monk sat silently in front of the main hall where he used to wait for the master, the door of the hall was closed, and white silk was hung on the beam.

When Zheng Xiu asked, he found out that the master had passed away after his death.

In the end, he has not yet been able to ask what he wants to know from the waiting master, that is, Xie Yunliu.

Stopping in Yunliu Temple for a while, Zheng Xiu inspected the scene and found nothing unusual.Waiting for the master's body to be peaceful, with no wounds on his body, no suspicion of homicide, Zheng Xiu dispelled his doubts, stayed in the temple, and cremated the master together with the monks.

The fire was so bright that it burned all night.Zheng Xiu and the monk wanted to put the ashes away, but they were surprised to find that the head of the master and so on could not be burned, leaving behind a hard skull.The two looked at each other in dismay, and looked carefully through the candlelight. It seemed that the skull seemed to have been burnt out of impurities, but there was a bit of jade-like crystal.

Zheng Xiu thought about this phenomenon but couldn't figure it out. In the end, it could only be attributed to "Xie Yunliu's head is really strong."

Zheng Xiu and the monk removed the statue of the general in the temple, revealing the tomb where "Gongsun Mo and Xie Luohe" were buried together.They buried the skull and erected a mound.Zheng Xiu smiled and wrote "The Tomb of General Pingxi Xie Yunliu" with a brush, which was considered a strange fate.

The monk told Zheng Xiu that he decided to live in the monastery for a period of time, sorting out the master's relics, maybe he could find something.Zheng Xiu understood the monk, eliminated the avatar, and returned to the original body in the blink of an eye.

Etc. The death of the master was the first thing that happened in July.

And the second thing.

It was on the night of July 28, Zheng Xiu was drinking alone under the moonlight, and when he was lying on his side drunk under the eaves, the red light from his waist immediately dispelled Zheng Xiu's drunkenness.

It's Chang Se-e that shines.

The blood lines on the mirror surface swim, forming a line of small characters.

【"Gold medal middleman Xi'er" calls, do you want to meet? 】

Xi'er, who was out on a mission, hesitantly told Zheng Xiu a bizarre and tricky case, and successfully attracted Zheng Xiu's attention.

This case is about a strange temple, and there are only women in the temple.

In the temple is enshrined a strange fairy god called "Wutong God", and the incense is strong.

Xi'er hemmed and hawed out the reason why she found it troublesome - in this temple, whoever worshiped was pregnant.
