Chapter 747 Scarab

"Then what are your plans now?" Zhao Gongming whispered.

"I can only do this for the time being, and I will prepare for the worst. Although I can't confirm the location of my father, I can be sure that he is still alive. But we must not agree to Bi Mihu's request, because once Bi Mihu gets With the real picture of the Five Sacred Mountains, my father will never have a chance of surviving." Fan Jiannan said with a headache.

"This group of despicable villains, if they didn't take advantage of others' danger, how could Mr. Fan be controlled by them." Zhao Gongming said angrily.

"It's not helpful to talk about it now." Fan Jiannan smiled wryly, "They can't hide now, and Dad is in their hands. Under this situation, we have nothing to do with them. It seems that Bi Mi must be stimulated. Huh, let her take action. Maybe I can borrow the pressure from Yi Shu Council and Madam Li again."

"Stimulate them to act? No, your father will be in danger." Zhao Gongming objected.

"It's okay, as long as they haven't got the map of the five mountains, they don't dare to mess around. Because this is their biggest bargaining chip, they won't do anything to dad." Fan Jiannan said.

After standing up, Cang Yunxiao took a few steps in the room, and said with some concern, "I feel that the most important thing now is to find out the purpose of Bimihu and Yishu Council. They all care so much about the true shape of the Five Sacred Mountains. Impossible for one simple reason."

Zhao Gongming frowned slightly and said, "I have heard some rumors about the true shape map of the Five Sacred Mountains. It is said that if you get the true shape map of the Five Sacred Mountains, you can control the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains and win the power of the world. And you will become the leader of the Central Plains practitioners, but the legend is only Legends. And many things are mostly symbolic. It’s like the Jade Seal of Chuanguo back then. In ancient times, if you got it, you could claim your destiny and become the emperor. But now, even if you hold the Jade Seal of Chuanguo and shout If you are the emperor yourself, others will only think you are insane."

"Yes, we are no longer in the previous era." Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "The symbolic meaning of the real shape of the Five Sacred Mountains is no longer that important. Xingtu claims to be the leader of the art world, and there will still be some people who will not accept it. But with their current strength, they don’t need any proof at all, and they are enough to crush all opposing voices. In this case, why are they still so obsessed with this ancient artifact?”

Zhao Gongming thought for a while and said, "Did you find anything after you got the map of the Five Sacred Mountains?"

Fan Jiannan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's just five jade stones, with different colors and different carving patterns. There is no fluctuation in magic power, and it is as ordinary as the most ordinary stone. If it weren't for the quality of the jade itself, how much would it be worth? Money, even if it is thrown on the side of the road, no one will pick it up."

Cang Yunxiao also nodded and said, "It is impossible to speculate on the purpose of the Five Sacred Map itself. In my opinion, we can only find out the purpose of this thing from other ways. Old Zhao, you He was born in Liujia Xun, and he is knowledgeable about the past, do you have any information about this?"

"If I have, do I still need to ask you?" Zhao Gongming shook his head and said, "Although Liujia Xunshu is enshrined by the royal family in the past, and has collected a lot of ancient books in the art world, they are old things after all. There are a lot of ancient books and materials It was gradually lost with the change of dynasties and the chaos of war. Now it is not an easy thing to learn some secrets about the true shape of the Five Sacred Mountains. Huh?"

"What's the matter?" Fan Jiannan looked at Zhao Gongming with some doubts. He obviously noticed that Zhao Gongming's expression was a little weird. He thought he remembered something, and quickly asked, "Old Zhao, did you remember something?"

"No." Zhao Gongming frowned slightly, "What's the smell on your body? It's so bad, I've smelled it since you came in."

"Smell?" Fan Jiannan frowned slightly, and turned his head to look at Cang Yunxiao.

Cang Yunxiao thought for a while and said, "That's right, it's that kind of bug."

"Bugs?" Fan Jiannan came to his senses and took out a few dead black beetles from his pocket. "By the way, this is it. When we came just now, someone tried to attack us. It should be the magician of Dongmi Moli Tiandao. He seems to be able to enslave these bugs, and these bugs seem to have a certain shielding effect on magic power. I feel Some weird ones picked up a few."

"Let me see." Zhao Gongming put on his glasses, turned on the desk lamp, and carefully observed a black beetle that Fan Jiannan handed him.

Cang Yunxiao also looked up and frowned, "It's just an ordinary beetle, what's so good about it? And it has a strange smell after killing it."

Zhao Gongming said calmly, "Are you sure it's left by a Dongmi practitioner?"

"It should be. His fighting movements are a combination of Japanese karate and jujitsu. Others can be faked, but the formation of this kind of kung fu routine lies in long-term hard practice. After practicing martial arts to a certain level, many movements will form conditioned reflexes. Intuition like that, so it will be reflected unconsciously when fighting." Cang Yunxiao nodded.He is a master of martial arts, and he has a certain amount of research on martial arts from all over the world, so he never misses this kind of thing.

Zhao Gongming nodded and said nothing, but looked at the black beetle in his hand in a daze.Under the light, the black beetle's body surface glowed with a layer of golden-green light.

"What kind of bug is this?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

Zhao Gongming said plainly, "This is a dung beetle."

"Dung beetle?" Fan Jiannan asked in astonishment.

"Dung beetle is the scientific name, but it's actually dung beetle!" Cang Yunxiao explained.

Fan Jiannan's expression changed drastically, and he immediately took out the dead bugs in his pocket and threw them into the trash can.He smiled wryly, "No wonder it smells so bad!"

"But this is definitely not an ordinary dung beetle, but a very rare species. Dung beetles belong to the class Insecta and Coleoptera, with a black or dark brown body, a hard exoskeleton on the body surface, well-developed compound eyes, chewing mouthparts, and antennae Gill-shaped, with horny forewings." Zhao Gongming frowned, "And I've never seen a beetle with such a solid shell."

"No matter how strong a beetle is, it's still a dung beetle." Fan Jiannan couldn't help sighing, "I thought it was something."

Zhao Gongming shook his head and said, "No! You're wrong. If I'm not wrong, this is a very ancient and rare species of beetle. Maybe everyone here thinks it's just a beetle, but in ancient Egypt, this Things have a name—Hopper."

"He Peier?" Fan Jiannan asked in a daze.

"The Chinese name is Scarab." Zhao Gongming said plainly.

"Scarab?" Cang Yunxiao asked in surprise. "Are you sure?"

"There should be nothing wrong." Zhao Gongming said calmly, "In ancient Egypt, this kind of dung beetle was very respected and favored by people. It was later called the scarab. There were even some amulets in ancient Egypt that were shaped like scarabs. People will This kind of beetle is used as a totem. When the pharaoh died, his heart would be cut out and replaced with a stone covered with scarabs. Because the ancient Egyptians believed that this kind of insect had a very special power that could protect The heart of the Pharaoh cannot be violated by evil forces."

Fan Jiannan was taken aback for a moment, and then thought of the fact that when he was fighting with that strange man, his magic power attack would automatically dissipate for no reason after hitting the strange man covered in beetles.It seems that there is something on the surface of that person that has the effect of shielding magic power.Is it because of these bugs?
He immediately said, "These bugs are really weird, I can feel that they can shield magic power. So I didn't think much about it at the time, so I picked up a few at random to see what they were."

Zhao Gongming nodded and said, "That should be it. This inconspicuous beetle is the scarab, an extremely rare and rare dung beetle native to Africa. It is said that this thing has the ability to resist evil forces."

"Their carapaces are very special and have a shielding effect on magic power. No wonder the ancients believed that they have the effect of resisting evil forces." Fan Jiannan nodded.

"But a Japanese practitioner, how could he have such a weird thing that originated in Africa?" Cang Yunxiao frowned, "Could it be that he is not Japanese?"

"On the contrary, this proves that this person is indeed a Japanese Tomi practitioner." Zhao Gongming sighed, "According to ancient records, this kind of scarab was introduced from Africa to the Western Regions during the Tang Dynasty. And the Tang Dynasty happened to be The dynasty with the closest diplomatic relationship with Japan. In order to learn Chinese culture, Japan sent missions to the Tang Dynasty more than a dozen times. These people completely copied Chinese culture to Japan, and Dongmi gradually took shape during that period.”

"So this special bug was also introduced to Japan for breeding?" Cang Yunxiao frowned.

"It should be like this. In fact, no matter in Africa or China, this weird beetle no longer exists, only Japan still exists." Zhao Gongming said in a low voice. "I remember this kind of thing was mentioned in the Japanese "The Tale of Genji"."

"Because it can isolate magic power, any direct magic power attack will be ignored. This thing can be called the nemesis of all magicians." Fan Jiannan shook his head and sneered, "If it wasn't for Cang Yunxiao by my side today, I guess I would It's more ominous than ominous. This group of Eastern secret practitioners, it seems that they have planned to kill me as soon as I leave the Tianji Pavilion. It's just that they didn't expect that Cang Yunxiao's kung fu is far superior to that person. "

"It seems that we still need to be more careful. These Eastern occultists have no faith at all. While using words to confuse you to believe them, and at the same time using Fan Jiannan's father as a threat, the two things are going on at the same time, and you still don't forget Assassinate directly. Sure enough, they are vicious and vicious, and their calculations are very good. If they can assassinate you directly, then everything will be saved, and there is no need for negotiations." Cang Yunxiao said coldly.
