the enlightener says

Qin Ke's facial features were almost all squeezed together, his expression was unspeakable, he took a step back in embarrassment, and shouted loudly: "Old Gao, you bastard!"

After the chaos in the guest room, Qin Ke wiped the tea on his face with the towel handed over by Abu with a silly smile on his face, still annoyed in his heart, and stared at Gao Yishui with an increasingly fierce expression: "I told you not to spray, don't spray!" , Are you deaf! You did it on purpose!"

"Cough, cough, cough." Gao Yishui, who looked a bit embarrassed, smiled helplessly, "It's fine if you don't shout, but when you shout, I almost choke to death, so I can only choose to spit it out."

"You're going to choke to death." Qin Ke threw the towel over, "My mother is really unlucky for eight lifetimes to meet such an ugly thing like you."

Gao Yishui shrugged his shoulders, expressing his innocence, and then turned to the main topic: "What happened to you just now? You didn't respond to how you called it, as if you were possessed by a demon."

"Yes." Cai Yan nodded and said, "I've called you for a long time, but your eyes are clearly open, but it seems like you can't see me at all."

She turned her head slightly to glance at the compass placed in the box, and said, "It's been like this since you touched the compass. Could it be that there's something weird about this compass?"

"Is the compass obviously a fake one? Rather, it's because it's a real compass, that's why it happened." Gao Yishui put away his joking expression, his eyes were serious, as if he was perusing some antique calligraphy and painting. Qin Ke said, "I remember...the last time in Tangguo Inn, did you have such a reaction when you touched that 'spoon'?"

"That's right!" Abu was also someone who had seen it with his own eyes, and immediately said: "At that time, his eyes were completely empty, just... like a dead person..."

"Huh?" Qin Ke was slightly stunned. Gao Yishui didn't mention this matter, he almost forgot, but when he recalled it, he only felt very vague, "At that time, I saw..."

It took him nearly a quarter of an hour to say what he saw twice, but even though he tried his best to restore it, the language still seemed very weak. He clearly remembered many things, but his tongue twitched a little when it came to his mouth. Knot.

In the end, he could only sit back on the chair angrily, curling himself up like a hedgehog.

"Woman?" Of course, Gao Yishui was confused, but he also felt that there seemed to be something behind these fragments, but he had never experienced it himself, so it was difficult to draw a conclusion.

But there is one thing he can be sure of.It must not be an accident that this happened to Qin Ke twice in a row.

He has already deduced that Qin Ke has a close relationship with Shen Qi and may even be the carrier of Shen Qi. If this is the case, is this situation what will inevitably happen when Qin Ke comes into contact with the divine weapon?

Artifacts and divine enlightenment...the two are closely related, otherwise Qin Ke's master, Zhuge Wolong, would not have disappeared because of the search for the artifact.

"Perhaps... the artifact wants to tell you something? About... something about divine enlightenment?" Gao Yishui boldly guessed.

Chapter 412 Preliminary Exploration

"Sacred Artifact... what do you want to tell me?" Qin Ke looked at the compass in the box, not quite understanding Gao Yishui's meaning, "What is it?"

"Then how do I know." Gao Yishui slumped on the back of the chair and sighed, "I'm not you, even you don't know, so how do I know?"

Everyone discussed for a while, but they still didn't come up with anything useful, so they had to put this matter aside and continue to tinker with Wuxing Sinan.

Fortunately, except for the first time Qin Ke touched the compass, even if he touched the compass again, those weird pictures did not appear, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.

This is the first time that Wuxing Sinan has reunited after being separated for many years. The scene is not very gorgeous, and there is no natural vision in the drama, colorful auspicious clouds, only four of them are under the candlelight, with big eyes and small eyes. eyes.

The spoon-like pointer rotates slowly on the compass, with a bit of elegance, but it does not lose its solemnity. It's just that after watching it for a long time, they still can't see what is so magical about this thing.

"So, what does he mean by pointing in this direction?" Qin Ke stared at the slight trembling of the pointer and said in a daze.

"I think so." Gao Yishui also looked carefully for a long time before finally confirming a fact, and said seriously, "This seems to be the direction when you put down the pointer..."

"..."

A few people fiddled with it for a while, but they never let the Five Elements Sinan become the real "Sinan". Now it is like a toy that is completely at their disposal. A kind of resignation or... don't care.

Finally, Cai Yan couldn't hold back, jumped up, and said a little irritably: "It has pointed in all directions in a mess of directions. After all, this thing doesn't seem to have the magnetic force that Sinan should have at all. Since there is no magnetic force, it points to It’s not up to us how to place it in any direction. Could it be that it wants to tell us that the answer is everywhere? It’s a nonsense that only sour literati and poets will say, this is a broken thing!”

"Be safe and don't be impatient, be safe and don't be impatient." Of course Gao Yishui felt the same way, but he didn't think that the Five Elements Siman was broken, he just felt that they didn't find the right way to use it.

As for artifacts, there must be some unique way to use them.But what kind of usage?

He didn't know, so he held up the entire compass with both hands, watched the pointer wobble on it, closed his eyes and said, "I'll try to see if I can infuse spiritual power into it, it doesn't mean that this thing has the ability to communicate with the world. Is it the effect of Baili's situation? Although I can't be considered a great practitioner, I can try something anyway."

Qin Ke looked at him, and said a little worriedly: "Isn't it said that great practitioners will fall if they use it? If you do this, will you..."

"Will it be something to talk about later? I'm afraid before I do something. That's not my Gao Yishui style." Gao Yishui grinned, "And I only use a little mental strength to try, and I don't intend to go all out. rest assured."

After that, he raised his eyebrows, and there seemed to be something twisted between his brows. Qin Ke knew that he had entered the state, and subconsciously closed his mouth.

Fifteen minutes later, Gao Yishui opened his eyes again, his complexion looked normal, and there was no injury or other damage, but his eyes looked very weird.

"Strange, really weird." Gao Yishui murmured.

"What's so strange, what did you try? Tell me." Cai Yan said dissatisfied.

Gao Yishui shook his head and said, "I seem to have tried something, but it seems like I haven't tried anything."

"Fuck all the shit." Qin Ke poked him, "Speak human words!"

"I feel that my spiritual power can indeed echo this thing, but this thing gives me the feeling that it doesn't match, like a rare and beautiful girl, but not very interested in my brilliance ..."

Qin Ke said speechlessly: "Actually, you don't need to use this strange metaphor..."

"That can't be, how can a beautiful girl not be interested in me? Lord, I am the number one luthier in the world, whether it is playing the piano or talking about love!"

"Hey!" Cai Yan sneered, "I know how to brag and talk about love, why do I only see a shameless scum who starts to mess up and ends up abandoning?"

"Who did I abandon all the time?"

"If you are capable, you marry that sister Nanyan?"

"...That was an accident, an accident, and I didn't take advantage of her, why did I have to marry her?"

"Scum."

"you……"

"Scum."

"Okay, okay." Qin Ke got a headache from the quarrel between the two, "So what's the situation now, is this thing fake?"

Gao Yishui shook his head, but he didn't think so: "If it's fake, then my spiritual power should not be able to penetrate at all, but I did, but it refused to respond or I didn't feel it... ...In this way, the thing should be real, but...why I can't see the effect, I don't know."

At this time, he suddenly remembered: "By the way, could it be that there are some problems because the Five Elements Division was divided into two?"

He still remembered that Gongshu Ban said that he put the Five Elements Sinan in the stove for ten years before he split it into two things, the compass and the pointer.

"In this way, it may have something to do with this. Even if we found two parts, it's not enough just to put them together." Gao Yishui said.

"Then what should we do?" Qin Ke, who didn't expect such a result, was a little frustrated, "Let's ask Senior Gongshu now?"

Cai Yan shook his head: "Don't think about it, didn't you hear what he said? He doesn't want to see us anymore, and now that the gate of the underground palace is closed, so what if we go? And I don't think He knows how to solve this thing, otherwise, he should have told us."

"Perhaps he forgets a lot when he is old."

"When you saw him, did you feel that he was an old man who couldn't remember things?" Cai Yan asked back.

Qin Ke suddenly went limp, put his chin on both hands, and said with a sad face: "Then what should we do now?"

Four people, you look at me, I look at you, naturally it is difficult to answer.

Abu hesitantly made a suggestion: "Maybe, you can send a letter to Jing Wu and ask Mr. He is such a smart person, maybe he will come up with something."

Gao Yishui sighed: "It's also a way. There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. It's better to have everything in hand than to be empty-handed. First study and study, if it really doesn't work, then you have to think of another way, maybe... you can go to Fuzhou again. Niushan looking for that old monster?"

Old monster, of course, refers to Mr. Zhuang. After they knew that Mr. Zhuang was a person who "would never age and never die", Gao Yishui changed his name to "old monster". Although it was a bit disrespectful, it was considered appropriate.

"Maybe..." Qin Ke also sighed, at least tonight, it is unlikely that the reunited Five Elements Sinan will show his magic.

Count nine cold days, dripping water turns into ice.

Jinzhou has finally entered the coldest time of the year.

Although the Mohists do not live in a bitterly cold place like the vast sea, it is much colder than Tang and Jingwu. Standing on the top of Jinzhou city and looking out, the Sihe land is already covered in silver.

In the mansion of the Gongshu family, Gongshuren was lying on a recliner, covered with a thick tiger fur blanket, a gust of cold wind swept in, blowing the fluff on it, and a few snowflakes fell on it silently.

Gongshucha stretched out a thin hand and moved forward slowly, trying to pick up the snowflake, but the moment he touched the snowflake, the temperature of his fingers melted the snowflake and turned it into a drop Little drops of water.

"Good snow." He stroked the tiger-skin blanket, looked at the scene of heavy snow falling outside the window, and sighed softly, "Auspicious snow heralds a good year, and I think this year's harvest will be better than previous years."

Mrs. Zhao came in from outside the door wearing a fox fur cloak, a layer of snow accumulated on both shoulders covered the original color of the fox fur, and she was holding a hot medicine in her hand, which was still steaming.

The medicine bowl was hot, and she pinched a hand on her earlobe.

Gongshucha heard his wife's painful "hissing" sound, and smiled slightly: "Don't rush to bring it over when it's hot. Besides, servants don't know how to do this kind of thing. Why do you have to do it yourself?"

"It's better to drink the medicine hot. It's useless when it's cold. How can I rest assured when I give it to the servant?" Zhao's voice came from the door, followed by the sound of walking. The figure ate it as soon as he entered the room. Surprised, he hurriedly put the medicine bowl on the table, closed the window all the way, and even checked carefully for any air leaks afterwards.

"You don't want to die!" Zhao complained: "You still open the window to blow the wind in such a cold day, what should you do if you catch a cold? How can your current body bear it?"

Gong Shuren looked at Zhao's frowning and angry expression, and felt helpless: "How can I be so delicate? I am covered with quilts and blankets, and there is a fire in the room. How can I catch cold? On the contrary, you With the windows closed all day, I feel stuffy."

"You have to hold back when you're bored." Mrs. Zhao said bluntly, "You're not the young man you were back then. With your current body, even if you want to breathe, you shouldn't sit by the window. If you dare to do this, let's see how I deal with you."

"Okay, okay." Gong Shuren smiled wryly, but he also understood his wife's worry, so he didn't say much, "I'm obedient, I'm obedient."

"That's about the same." Mrs. Zhao nodded in satisfaction, then picked up the medicine bowl on the table, and prepared to feed it to Gong Shuren spoon by spoon.

Gong Shuren looked at the steaming heat, frowned slightly, and said, "It's hot. Let it cool for a while."

"It's not hot." Mrs. Zhao insisted, "I'll just blow it on for you. You can drink it now. It won't work if it cools down for a while. This is what Doctor Lu ordered..."

At this moment, the footsteps of "Gada Gada" sounded again in the heavy snow outside the door, the door was knocked lightly, and an old voice said: "Master, it's me."

Gongshuren's eyes lighted up with a sharp edge, and then he quickly restrained himself. He waved his hand, signaling Zhao to feed the medicine slowly, and said, "Come in."

The old man pushed the door open, and the first thing he saw was Mrs. Zhao's worried eyes, and then he met Gong Shuren's expectant eyes.

He bowed and saluted, and said softly: "Master, madam."

Gong Shuren nodded, gently stroked the back of Mrs. Zhao's hand with one hand, and said gently, "Go to the room to rest. I know you don't like to hear about these things."

Mrs. Zhao didn't ask what it was, but said softly: "Remember to drink the medicine." Then she turned around and walked into the room.

Seeing Zhao's figure disappear, the old man turned his head and said slowly, "Master, that matter... has come to fruition."

Chapter 413 Cleaning

"If there is no result, you will not come to see me." Gong Shuren said calmly, "Tell me, how is it?"

The old man nodded, and said: "Master is very predictable. I checked the whereabouts of the batch of pickles in Songshan shop, and it was really weird. The people behind the scenes actually thought of using pickles as a contact method, and carried news in it. Gather these people from the rivers and lakes together. It took a long time for my subordinates to follow the clues of pickles, and finally figure out these people one by one. A total of 43 people were found, distributed in various places in the city. Among them, practitioners There are 14 people, six are in the first stage of cultivation, five are in the second stage, and three are in the third stage, but this kind of observation is not very rigorous, so it can only be a guess, and the results must be different."

"That's natural." Gong Shuren looked at the hot steam coming out of the soup, and said softly, "It's not easy to find out the true strength of a practitioner just by simple observation, without a real fight."

He smiled: "That is to say... people like my third brother don't know how to cover up, and wish the whole world knew that he was a little master. People who walk the rivers and lakes, if they can't hide at all, they won't be called Jianghu. people."

"The third master has never been a person who is good at hiding and hiding." The old man also laughed, "The most important thing is that with a public loser escorting him, he will naturally not understand the difficulties of the world. The disadvantage is also his advantage."

"That's right." Gong Shuren said regretfully, "It's a pity, Gong Loser pampered him too much. If he could suffer more when he was young, maybe he would be able to do things with more brains, and I don't have to think about him. So many."

"What should we do?" The old man didn't continue to talk about this matter. He could see that Gong Shuren was not in a good mood. It's better not to mention anything about Gong Shucha.

"Do whatever you want," Gongshuren replied.

He slowly wanted to sit up from the chair and no longer lie down, but this movement seemed to be very strenuous, and he had to lie down heavily again.

Gong Shuren coughed, closed his eyes, and said, "The snake is hiding in the grass, and if you hit it with a bamboo pole, it might mess up... Timing is very important, do you understand?"

"Yes." The old man said in a low voice, "It's just that the manpower is a little tight. I don't know if the master can..."

"Which people do you want?" Gong Shuren asked bluntly.

"Mr. Zhu, Mr. Liu, Mr. Mei, Mr. Su..." The old man whispered more than ten names. It is a line away from the third realm.

This is the background of a powerful family, but it is the trump card of a powerful family. If it is not a last resort, it will not act rashly.

But Gong Shuren only nodded his head, and said flatly: "Yes, the matter will be handled more quickly, and at the same time...after the end, the momentum will be greater."

"Yes." The old man agreed again, and then looked at the soup on the table.

The soup is cold...

The snow in Jinzhou is getting heavier and heavier. When you look up at the dome for a while, you will be dazzled by the snowflakes flying all over the sky. When you go outside, the coldness in the air seems to be able to condense everything. A cloud of white mist.

Many shops on the street have already closed their doors. In such a snowy day, there will not be too many people wandering on the street to buy. A butcher selling butcher is sealing the wooden doors of the shops one by one. The white snow stained his head all over, but he was not worried, with a smile on his face, wishing that the snow would be as big as possible.

"Old Nine!" In the heavy snow, one person walked leisurely with a jar of wine that had not been removed from the mud, with a smile on his mouth, and shouted: "The door is closed so early, no business!"

The butcher known as the old nine turned his head slightly, and seeing that rather burly figure, his eyes lit up immediately, and he laughed and said, "Hey, Master Jiang, you are still wandering on the street under such heavy snow."

When Master Jiang approached the door, Old Nine patted his dirty hands, wiped them on his apron, and said, "Isn't there no business here? Instead of staying like this, it's better to take a rest first, anyway, the New Year's Eve is over. , the best days of the year are just like that... What about you, Master Jiang?"

Looking at the jar of wine, Lao Jiu smiled and asked, "Have you bought wine?"

Master Jiang nodded, with the same smile on his face, obviously in a good mood: "It's snowing, I walked for several streets before I found an open wine shop, I wanted to come to you to buy some mutton back home, but you have to close the shop gone?"

When Lao Jiu heard this, he also frowned, but it was not because he was unhappy, but because Master Jiang was so polite: "Hey, what do you say? If Master Jiang wants to buy mutton, just ask me Lao Jiu. Master Jiang is here, even if my old nine gets into a hot bed, I have to get up..."

"Well, Master Jiang, you wait. I have chopped mutton here, and it's the best way to keep it. I'll get it from the back. You wait." Then, he turned his head and entered the back room, and there were footsteps coming from inside. The sound of voices, women's voices, children's laughter, and then the sound of wrapping things in broad leaves.

Master Jiang stood outside the door, still smiling, raised his head slightly to look at the sky, and sighed with emotion: "Good snow, good omen."

After a while, Lao Jiu came out of the shop, carrying five catties of mutton wrapped in wide leaves, which was heavy.
