There is a commander in the family, deep well ice

Mouth: "That's how it is..."

After Ling Gu told Bai Yu what they had found in the Taiyuan, Qin Qian continued the conversation: "When I sent Ma Jifei back to the Ma's house, I asked the people of the Ma's family, what happened to An Liang's death? , it’s really strange.”

"Anliang's identity is not simple, he is a wild beast."

Both Ling Gu and Bai Yu were shocked.Ling Gu was astonished by the news, but Bai Yu asked, "Can wild beasts be accepted into the Taiyuan?"

"I haven't noticed it before. It's said that it takes a cup of tea in the water to show the form of a wild beast." Qin Qian compared his neck: "Gills, scales and webs."

Ling Gu frowned slightly: "If the situation is exposed, An Liang will be beaten by everyone. Such a wild beast died in the Taiyuan, no wonder the records are so ambiguous."

Qin Qian nodded: "An Liang was indeed exposed. It was Ma Jihao who discovered it at first. Ma Jihao grabbed An Liang's pigtail and asked An Liang to treat him like a cow. In the end, there was a conflict for some reason and he drowned. When An Liang drowned, the form of the wild beast was fully exposed, and the Taiyuan didn't dare to publicize it. After all, letting the wild beast enter the Taiyuan would be a huge blow to the Taiyuan. I don't know the details of Anliang's death, but since Anliang is a water system How could the wild beast drown in the lake?"

Ling Gu felt a little depressed when he heard it, and said with a sneer, "That horse Jimo is not dead in vain."

"Anliang has a younger brother, is that younger brother a wild beast?" Bai Yu was much calmer than Ling Gu.

"I didn't ask." Qin Qian shook his head and said, "An He dropped out of school after An Liang's death, but some people said that he didn't turn into a wild beast in the water. And the An family brothers have a father and a mother, so I think An Liang It may have been retrieved."

People who have been seeded by wild beasts will surely die.

"Has Priest Mingyue figured out the poison-drug matter?"

"It's an ordinary poison aimed at monks. Ma Jifei suffered from hysteria and was insane. As soon as he woke up in Ma's house, he screamed and begged An Liang to forgive him." Qin Qian frowned and said, "I always feel that the matter of Brother An's family is caused by someone. It was deliberately stabbed out. If the two only seedlings of the Ma family are killed, the Ma family will not collapse, but there will definitely be trouble."

Bai Yu understood what Qin Qian meant. He hated fighting for power with these humans in the city, and also hated running Bermuda City, but he still knew the bugs and ants in Bermuda City.

How could he not be clear about things that Priest Mingyue could figure out.

Bai Yu turned his head to look at Ling Gu.Ling Gu was baffled by him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Yu's words rolled around in his throat and swallowed back into his stomach. He shook his head, looked at Qin Qian and said, "Look at the Supreme Courtyard."

Qin Qian was a little surprised. He has been with Bai Yu for more than 1 years, so he naturally understood what Bai Yu meant—is he planning to start meddling in the affairs of Bermuda City?

Bai Yu didn't want to intervene in human struggles, and the elderly people in the commander's mansion knew why.This is a taboo in the ears of their commander-in-chief, the kind that can be big or small.It can be as big as when Priest Mingyue asked him to found the Bermuda Kingdom, and he ascended to the Bermuda City, which directly led to the massacre of tens of thousands of dead souls in the vicinity; He explained it in one sentence, directly breaking the taboo.

Bai Yu accepted Qin Qian's surprise calmly, hooked the corner of his mouth again, and repeated: "What should I do in the Taiyuan, don't lose the prestige of the commander-in-chief."

Qin Qian also smiled. He bowed slightly, put his right fist against his heart, and replied respectfully: "Yes."

☆、【Tianrong】

Ling Gu didn't notice Bai Yu and Qin Qian's flirting, and when they finished talking, he asked Huang Yu to bring some food.

Mu Ying came with the food.Mu Ying changed into a bright red thin jacket and skirt, her hair was tied into two buns and tied with a red ribbon, she looked like a lucky doll holding a fish.Even though he knew that she was old enough to be his ancestor, every time Ling Gu saw Mu Ying like this, he couldn't help being overwhelmed with paternity.

"There is your favorite pea yellow." Ling Gu pushed the plate of dim sum to Mu Ying.

Mu Ying, however, stared brightly at Zou Zong who was dozing on the stool: "Ah, it's really Zou Zong."

Ling Gu smiled and said, "You like it? It just so happened that it was injured, so I didn't feel at ease and just threw it in the back garden. You should take it back and raise it first."

"Little bone, you're so kind~" Mu Ying smiled happily, walked over to pick up 朏朏, put it on her leg and began to smooth the hair.朏朏 was awakened from a sweet dream, but was keenly aware of the extraordinary cultivation of the person holding it, so he dared not speak out and draped it into a fur blanket, allowing it to be trampled on.

Ling Gu raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhuo, who gave him an aggrieved look.Linggu was happy.

Bai Yu put a piece of roast duck in the bowl for Ling Gu, frowned and tapped the side of the bowl with the tip of his chopsticks. "Ding Ding" two crisp sounds, Ling Gu came back to his senses, took a bite of the duck meat, and sighed: "It's so sour."

"Pfft." Mu Ying giggled, her eyes completed the crescent shape, very cute.She asked Bai Yu: "Xiaoyan said that Beast Lan went to the Taiyuan. I checked Luo Qing's background, and it's okay. But I heard that Beast Lan had a conversation with Ling Zhaowen after you left. Boss, Black Spider said ……Really?"

Mu Ying's words were confused, Ling Gu didn't understand why, but Bai Yu nodded.Ling Gu wondered: "What charades are you playing?"

Bai Yu turned his head and smiled at Ling Gu: "How about giving you a prosperous age?"

Ling Gu's face was dull, and he looked at Bai Yu with crazy eyes.Although this sentence is very dull, if the atmosphere is right, Ling Gu can still be moved.But at the moment, he still has half a piece of duck meat on his chopsticks. (…)

Seeing Ling Gu's reaction, Bai Yu was also a little bit shocked. He curled his lips aggrievedly, and said to Mu Ying, "Take it one step at a time. This time they are the ones who can't sit still first. Since they stepped on my line, don't even think about it." And retreat. Do you really think that you are my children and grandchildren, and I have to get used to them?"

Mu Ying's smile was much brighter, and she nodded her head in agreement: "Yes, I'm not used to them, a group of stupid things with big eyes and small belly, two bean teeth who think they can kill wolves. In the next half month There are even more people coming, and this time is just right... ah!"

Mu Ying muttered to herself, and suddenly yelled.

"What's the matter?" Ling Gu was so frightened that he almost choked, and quickly leaned over, and saw Mu Ying pawing at the hair for a while, and then pinched a small black spot the size of a sesame seed with two fingers and lifted it up.

Ling Gu immediately leaned back: "Lice?"

"Chichi!" Zhuo retorted uncomfortably—whose spirit beast is so careless about president lice?

"It's a flower seed." Mu Ying happily put the "black sesame" in the palm of her hand, and fondled it with one finger: "This kind of flower is called Tianrong, and it is a very special flower. There is only one flower that I know of." It exists in the world, I didn’t expect to see it here~”

Mu Ying looked at Huazhong intoxicatedly, and her brain was activated: "Although I didn't look for it specifically, I have wandered around the central world for so many years, and I haven't found any secret places or people related to that world. Therefore, since Huazhong is in the If it is in the fur of the scorpion, and the scorpion came out of the secret realm, it means that Tianrong is in the secret realm!"

After Mu Ying finished muttering to herself, she raised her head and stared eagerly at Bai Yu and Ling Gu: "Boss, little bone, let's go to the secret realm!"

Ling Gu had no objection: "Okay, anyway, I haven't seen it yet. But I haven't heard any news about secret treasures in the past few days, probably there is nothing good in that secret realm."

"Chichi!" The good stuff is here, can't you see such a big lump?

朏朏 tried his best to prove his sense of existence, but was ignored by Ling Gu.He put down the chopsticks with Bai Yu, and the three of them left immediately.Mu Ying casually threw the wounded Juju in the garden, and left to fend for herself.

In the back mountain of Taiyuan, there is still a sea of ​​people here, but it is very orderly and there is no chaos at all.

"Huh?" Meng Yu saw them from afar, and hurried over, he said in surprise, "Boss, are you going to the secret realm too?"

Ling Gu glanced behind him, and asked strangely, "Where's Wei Yun?"

"I asked him to go back to the mansion to rest." Meng Yu waved his hand, and said: "The people who went in these few days either picked some spiritual plants, or hunted some spiritual beasts. They are all inferior Goods, if you don’t see anything good, what are you going to do?”

"Let's go play!" Mu Ying hurriedly ran towards the shimmering part of the woods.

There, the crowd was separated in an orderly manner by the city defense army.A circle of shimmering light formed a circle, standing there like a huge mirror.But in the low-light mirror, there is a completely different scenery from the outside world.

It was the first time Ling Gu saw the door of the secret realm, and couldn't help but look it up, Xin Qi lost interest in his eyes, and walked in.

The secret realm is huge, and this place is already another world.The people who came in from the gate of the secret realm together had long since disappeared—although many people wanted to follow Bai Yu and the others, they had more respect for Bai Yu than worship.

"Oh, I knew I should have brought the 朏朏." Mu Ying walked for a while, then said discouragedly: "The 朏朏 should remember where it has been."

"Don't you know Tianrong's habits? What kind of environment do you adapt to, whether you like sun or yin? It shouldn't be difficult to find a place according to your habits?" Ling Gu thought for a while, then asked again: "Is this flower rare? ?”

Mu Ying didn't answer, but gave him a pouting expression.

Well, Ling Gu understands.

"Hey, let's start looking, tell us what it looks like?"

Mu Ying laughed happily, and after explaining the appearance of Tianrong's plants and the growth environment, she started to act.However, because the environment in this secret realm is more inclined to plains and canyons, the forest coverage rate is not high, the place is cold and rotten leaves, just so little, the three of them did not separate.

Along the way, I met many people and spirit beasts, but the level of spirit beasts is not high. Not only that, this secret realm completely presents a scene of decay, many spiritual plants have withered, and the spiritual energy in the air is weak. comparable to the present world.

"This secret realm is over." Ling Gu said with some disappointment.

"The central world is an imprisoned existence. These secret realms are essentially separated from other worlds. They need the spiritual energy of the original world to nourish them. Decay is normal. If you want to share the spiritual power of the central world, you have to flow in like other people. There will be no secret realm gates, and it will become a part of the central world." Bai Yu glanced around and said, "However, the appearance of the secret realm this time is also an omen."

"What omen?" Ling Gu was curious.

"The 'lock' in the central world can't help but restrict the monks' communication, and also locks the aura. Once a high-level monk crosses the tribulation and the thunder falls from the upper realm, the aura in the central world will be turbulent." Bai Yu looked at Ling Gu, with gentle eyes: "Du Jie is forced to open the 'lock' of the central world by the power from the outside to the inside; then, if the inner spiritual power is filled to a certain level, can it be opened from the inside to the outside? "

Ling Gu frowned: "You mean, this vision is a sign that the central world is filled with spiritual power?"

"It's a sign that the central world's spiritual power is starting to move." Bai Yu smiled: "In short, the central world is 'alive'."

Ling Gu still didn't understand, but at this moment, Mu Ying's happy cry interrupted their words.

"Ah, I found it~"

☆、【Human bones】

Tianrong, compared to its name, its plant appearance is really ashamed.In Ling Gu's eyes, it was just an ordinary dry herbaceous plant.

The sky grows in front of a mountain wall, not far away is a cave, the cave can be seen at a glance, judging from the vegetation at the entrance of the cave, someone has already visited here.

Seeing Ling Gu, he wanted to go inside, and said to Mu Ying, "Mu Ying, let's go to the cave for a rest and then continue looking."

Mu Ying shook her head: "You go, the sky grows in clumps, there are not many of these flowers, let me see where else grows nearby."

"Okay." Ling Gu responded, and walked to the cave first.Bai Yu followed two steps and crossed Ling Gu, clearing the messy obstacles at the entrance of the cave for Ling Gu.

Ling Gu glanced at Bai Yu, and raised the corners of his mouth.

The cave was really empty, and there were some remnants of the campfire and some leftover bones. It was obvious that someone had slept here.

"This cave has traces of man-made excavation." After entering the cave, Ling Gu looked it up, and then keenly found some traces.

This cave is not deep, and it will come to an end four or five meters inward.However, on the edge of the stone wall at the end, Ling Gu saw some notches, and the notches spread into the mountain wall, as if they were suddenly cut off by the mountain wall.Those nicks are very regular, like the marks chiseled by sharp tools such as axes.

Ling Gu suddenly became interested, although the aura of this secret realm is now slack, and it is equivalent to waste.But that doesn't mean it hasn't had good things, and maybe he discovered it?

To hide, there are two ways, one is mechanism, and the other is magic circle - enchantment is also possible, but it requires spiritual support.

Therefore, Ling Gu immediately threw himself into the "Escape Room" game.

Seeing Ling Gu stroking the cave wall with shining eyes, Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Ling Gu ignored him, and tried his best to pick at the connection between the end of the mountain wall and the cave wall, and then he picked off a piece of stone skin, and immediately laughed: "It really is!"

Bai Yu leaned over to look, and found some white traces where Ling Gu had digged before.The mark is very light, but the color is very clear and the edge of the mark is very neat, it looks like it has been painted.

Bai Yu took a few glances and guessed it: "A magic circle?"

Ling Gu nodded, and continued digging in another place, while saying to Bai Yu: "The concealment circle is similar to the one in the Valley of Two Claws before. But this one also has a trigger mechanism, which is very ingenious, but also very simple. It's not difficult to crack. Just..."

With a "click", Ling Gu tore off another piece of stone skin, looked at the thing exposed under the stone skin and smiled: "Take this thing off, that's all."

As Ling Gu said, he took out a black bead that was exposed under the stone skin. Immediately, there was a rumbling sound from the mountain wall at the end of the cave, and then it slowly locked into the ground.

"Ah, what's the matter?" Mu Ying heard the movement, rushed in from the outside like a whirlwind, saw the picture behind the stone wall, and changed the name: "What is this? What's going on here?" ?”

Ling Gu smiled triumphantly, threw away the shattered ball in his hand, and said, "Go in and have a look."

Behind the mountain wall is a deep corridor. Mu Ying took out a seed from her purse. The seed grew quickly in her hand, and then it grew into a lantern plant. At the end of the lantern plant hung a small flower like a lantern. The pistils in the small flowers can emit the same light as the sun.

After walking for a long time, I finally reached the end, and the scene at the end surprised Ling Gu—it turned out to be a cave!

The layout in this cave is very simple, a wooden bed, a bookshelf, a futon and some bottles and jars are all there is.But the most eye-catching thing is probably the skeleton sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed.

The skeleton was still wearing a gray cloth robe. The sleeves and hem of the cloth robe were frayed, but it still couldn't conceal its former magnificence.The auspicious cloud pattern was embroidered on the cloth robe with silver thread, the cuffs were rolled twice with gold trim, and the gossip pattern was embroidered with two gold and black threads on the hem.

But looking at the age of the cloth robe, one can guess that this monk has been here for a long time.

"It's a fallen man." Mu Ying sighed casually.Fallen Taoists, as the name suggests, are monks who cannot attain Taoism and eventually return to dust like ordinary people.The fallen ones are actually the home of most monks, so there is nothing to be surprised to see the corpses of the fallen ones.

Ling Gu took his eyes away from the human bones, looked at the cave again, and found something strange—a magic circle was engraved on the ground and top of the cave.The two magic circles correspond to each other one up and one down, and the futon is placed in the center of the magic circle on the ground.

"This, is it the gathering spirit array?" Ling Gu first looked at the magic circle on the top, a little surprised.

The Spirit Gathering Formation can seize the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth for its own use.This is an almost "cheating" cultivation method, but it is also a shortcut that everyone is chasing after.In the present world, Ling Gu, who majored in the demon pattern formation, would naturally not let it go, but unfortunately, neither the ancient score nor the spirit-gathering formation in the biography had the slightest effect.

The Spirit Gathering Formation in front of me has undergone many changes, but the core things have not changed, and Ling Gu can still recognize it.

"Using the spirit-gathering formation while trapped in a secret realm is simply killing the chicken to get the egg." Ling Gu commented with a frown.The blockade of the secret realm is two-way. If you are trapped in it and cannot get out, it is very important to maintain the cycle of life in the secret realm.However, if the spirit-gathering array master seizes it, if it is outside the secret realm, the sun and the moon will recover naturally, but in the secret realm, it is simply courting death.

This kind of obvious thing, Ling Gu couldn't believe that this fallen man couldn't think of it.So why is he still doing it?Sleepy?Or is there another purpose?

Ling Gu raised his head and fell into deep thought. Bai Yu grabbed his arm and brought him back to his senses: "Where are the ones on the ground?"

Suddenly, Ling Gu kicked the futon away, touched his chin and looked at the magic circle on the ground.Looking at it, Ling Gu's eyes widened.

"Damn it, teleportation array!" Ling Gu yelled loudly, and didn't bother to use any words.

Don't blame him.In modern games, teleportation formations are really common, but it is not the same thing if you want to use formations to realize the function of teleportation.

Of course Ling Gu tried it, but this kind of advanced formation requires spiritual strength as a base. Ling Gu's cultivation in this world is fighting five scum. Even the failure of the spirit gathering formation, he once thought it was It's not because of my low cultivation base.So teleporting the magic circle is simply a fantasy for him.

When Mu Ying heard this, she became interested: "Little bone, let's see where this is teleported~"

Ling Gu was in a bit of a dilemma: "Unless the teleportation array is public, the destination is fixed. If this kind of private teleportation array is used, it is often necessary to add a key stroke before it can be used. I don't know the key A sum, so even if the activation is successful, there is only a general direction."

"It's okay, it's okay anyway~" Mu Ying collected enough flower seeds, and her curiosity also came up.

In fact, Ling Gu also had itchy hands. He glanced at Bai Yu and saw that Bai Yu had no obvious objection, so he immediately rubbed his hands: "Then I'll try."

The author has something to say: 【Favorites! 】

[By the way, I haven’t had a good score for so long →_→]

☆、【genuine】

The limitations of the magic circle are very large, but the talismans are widely used in this world.This kind of non-offensive magic circle requires enough spiritual power or some tools to activate it.So Ling Gu is used to carrying some spirit-storing talismans with him in this world, in case of emergencies when the magic circle is activated.

After arriving in the Central Realm and starting to practice again, the habit of Linggu has not fallen.

Put a slender white talisman into the eyes of the teleportation array, the talisman immediately lost fire, and disappeared into ashes in a blink of an eye. At the same time, the teleportation array also lit up with light. "Quickly stepped into the magic circle, a ray of light flashed, and the three of them had disappeared into the cave.

"Huh?" Seeing the place where they were teleported out, Ling Gu was very surprised - this was the forest where he had discovered before.

"How big is the fault tolerance range of the magic circle?" Bai Yu asked Ling Gu with his head tilted.

Ling Gu immediately understood what he meant, and after thinking about it for a while, he was very surprised: "It's only a radius of three miles, so the destination of that teleportation array is originally in the Taiyuan? No wonder!"

Ling Gu clapped his palms together, like enlightenment, and suddenly came to his senses: "Mu Ju came out of a secret realm, and such a thin aura in the secret realm can give birth to a spirit beast like Ju Ju, which is really weird. But if there is A teleportation array can lead to the outside of the secret realm, which can explain the whole situation."

"But." Mu Ying blinked and said: "Since it can come out, why is that pair of human bones locked in the secret realm? If he is in the central world, he should not become a fallen person. And what is the spirit gathering array for? use?"

"Nurture the spirit with the spirit." Bai Yu said suddenly.

Ling Gu turned to look at him: "What do you mean?"

Bai Yu smiled, now that it's almost evening, they've been in the secret realm for a long time.Bai Yu said, "Let's talk while walking."

Ling Gu had no objection, and followed Bai Yu down the mountain.

"Nursing the spirit with the spirit is a very common method. As the name suggests, it is to use one place to conceive another place with spiritual power. The gathering spirit array in the cave is to capture the spirit energy in the secret realm. You said before that you were trapped in the secret realm Using the spirit-gathering array is to fish in a dry lake. But now that there is this teleportation array that connects to the outside world, it shows that the spirit-gathering array has a purpose." Bai Yu said with certainty: "In the Taiyuan, there should be another place that is not A well-known secret."

Ling Gu's eyes are really bright now - he does not hesitate to use the aura of one secret realm to conceive another secret realm, there must be something good in it!

But soon, Ling Gu was a little frustrated again: "No one has discovered it in the Taiyuan for so many years, and it is very secretive to come to that secret place."

"That's not necessarily true." Bai Yu smiled and said, "You forgot, what else is there?"

"Zu Ju?" Ling Gu was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Yes, Ju Ju must know where the secret realm is! Let's go back quickly."

"Brother... madam." As soon as Ling Gu's words fell, Ling Zhaowen was standing by the road sign at the foot of the mountain and called him in a low voice.He changed his words after calling brother, and his attitude was not insincere.

Ling Gu stopped and looked over, and Ling Zhaowen took the opportunity to say, "I have something to tell you, it only takes a while."

Bai Yu frowned, coldly scratching Ling Zhaowen's body.Ling Zhaowen flinched, but did not run away.

"Let's talk." On the contrary, Ling Gu raised the corners of his mouth not too concerned, already thinking about how to teach this "brother" an unforgettable lesson.

Ling Zhaowen bit his lip, his face turned red with embarrassment and shame.He lowered his head and took a quick glance at Ling Gu, then he didn't dare to look up again, but stared at his own toes, and said, "I, I want to say, I'm sorry."

Ling Gu was stunned, and then his eyes widened—did he hear wrong?

Ling Zhaowen paused for a moment, then continued: "I was naive before, and I didn't know that I acted badly. I enjoyed my wife's care for me, but I didn't feel grateful. On the contrary, because I was used to living a rich and prosperous life, I didn't know sorrow and just cared about Face. When Madam needed support the most, I alienated you because of people’s words, and even joined those people in accusing you. Even Lei He... was taken away from you because of my aggressive mentality."

Bai Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stretched out his hand to grab Ling Gu's hand with great strength.Ling Gu turned his head and glanced at Bai Yu, but Bai Yu shot him angrily.

Looking up at the sky -- well, I'm jealous again.

Ling Zhaowen continued to repent: "Until Madam separated from me, I was still blaming Madam at first, thinking Madam was targeting me on purpose. However, these days, I have gradually understood. Money is short, and the people around me Friends who are rich and expensive are all far away from me; some of them know about the past between me and my wife, and they deliberately target me. I said this not to ask for pity, but at this time, I realized that making money is not easy , life is not easy."

"Ma'am, I was the one who was ignorant and made you sad and let you down." Ling Zhaowen said, taking out the hand that had been behind his back. In his hand, he was holding a kraft paper bag soaked in some oil. idea.

Ling Zhaowen handed the paper bag to Ling Gu, and said, "This is a snack I made myself. I didn't expect Madam to forgive me, but I know I was wrong, so come and confess to Madam."

After listening to this call, Ling Gu heard it fresh.

What Ling Zhaowen did to the original owner, in Ling Gu's view, was indeed heartless.But it didn't carry any labels of "scheming" or "city government". For a 20-year-old youth, his temperament is just about to stabilize, and he can put down his face and apologize, which is not considered stubborn.

Of course, although Ling Gu admired his attitude of daring to admit his mistakes, he did not confided in him immediately.

Ling Gu hesitated for a moment, and took the paper bag from Ling Zhaowen's hand first.Just when he was about to deal with a sentence or two, Ling Zhaowen ran away like a rabbit whose tail had been trampled on.

Ling Gu was speechless, looked down at the paper bag in his hand, opened it, and saw some shortbread that looked very ordinary.

Just as I was watching, another hand with well-defined bones and slender fingers appeared in my sight, picked up the paper bag, and threw it into a beautiful parabola in the air, and it disappeared.

Ling Gu looked up at Bai Yu, Bai Yu frowned and taught him: "Don't want to eat everything you see."

Ling Gu: "..."

"Oh, little bone, you don't want to forgive him, do you?" Mu Ying pouted at the side, with a very disapproving expression: "I don't think he is a good person."

"Don't worry." Ling Gu grinned: "I'm not a fool. But seeing that he's still young, if he really knows how to repent, it's not unforgivable. If there's something easy to do, he can easily pull it out. And if he has ulterior motives... ... Well, I won't be close to him anyway, he can't get me or anything."

Bai Yu put a big hand on the top of Ling's bone, and said in a somewhat relieved tone, "It's good that you understand."

Speechless—is this educating him as a son?

At the right time, he heard a chaotic shout from a distance, and Ling Gu followed the sound - in the woods in the distance, a man wearing a long gown, no tie, and disheveled hair was running barefoot. Waving and screaming in the void, he is simply a lunatic.

However, Ling Gu's five senses have improved a lot, and he saw the lunatic's face with excellent eyesight, and was immediately surprised: "Ma Jifei?"

☆、【Water ghost】

The direction Ma Jifei ran to was Mingjing Lake. The lake has been surrounded by a "cordon" with cloth strips, and the students are also keeping a respectful distance, so there are not many people around the lake.

Ma Jifei went in the opposite direction, ran to the lake, jumped over the cloth strip without saying a word, and jumped into the lake with a "plop".

"Hurry up and save people!" Ling Gu shouted quickly, he remembered that Ma Jifei couldn't swim.

While he was speaking, Mu Ying had already swept out of the ground like a gust of wind, and floated onto the lake as lightly as a swallow.

Ma Jifei fell into the lake without thumping at all, just like a stone smashed into the lake, falling straight to the bottom of the lake.Mu Ying reached the surface of the lake with a snap of her fingers, and looking down from above, she could see Ma Jifei's face that was not completely covered by the lake water.His face was terrified, his mouth and nose were wide open, and a large number of air bubbles emerged from his mouth and nose, distorting his face across the lake, making his expression look extraordinarily hideous.

Mu Ying didn't hesitate, she stretched out her hand to pull the horse and fly up, but when she stretched out her hand, she felt a resistance, as if something was competing with her, she pulled up, and the thing pulled down.

Mu Ying frowned slightly, at this moment, she felt the change of the water flow, she let go of her hand quickly, and a gleam of light flashed in the lake water, it was the ray of light refracted by the fish's scales.

Immediately afterwards, a pale human face emerged from behind Ma Jifei's waist.That face was extremely weird, with no eyebrows, eyes like almonds, the eyeballs filled the entire eye sockets, the bridge of the nose seemed to be cut off from the nasal bone, and the lips were so thin that only a pale line remained.Ru Mo's long hair was behind that face, drifting away with the current, very strange.

Mu Ying was shocked for a moment, but instead of retreating, she moved forward. She opened her five fingers, and sharp wooden thorns emerged from her fingertips. When encountering water, they grew wildly, and the thorns broke, nimbly and quickly attacked the "water ghost".That "water ghost" was also clever, seeing the situation was not good, he immediately threw away Ma Jifei as a shield, and swung his lower body——Mu Ying saw that his lower body turned out to be a long and slender fish tail— — and disappeared into the lake.

Mu Ying frowned, scattered the wooden thorns, picked up the horse and flew to the shore.

At this time, Bai Yu had just arrived at the shore with Ling Gu.

Two of Mu Ying's wooden thorns were stuck on Ma Jifei's body, and the rest were on the tail of the "water ghost". -The body is a fish tail, covered with scales, I am afraid that the wooden thorns also deviated from the original track, and did not hurt the opponent much.

Ling Gu squatted down, intending to give Ma Jifei CPR, but when he looked down, Ma Jifei's eyes were protruding, his lips were purple, and his face was innocent. He was obviously dead.

Ling Gu stood up frowning, stared at Ma Jifei's unusually purple lips and said, "Poisoned?"

Mu Ying pulled out the wooden thorns from Ma Jifei's body, took a look and threw them into the lake, nodded and said: "It is indeed poisoned, and it is very poisonous, my thorns have wilted a bit."

Ling Gu was a little strange: "Dropping such a heavy poison means that the opponent's method is not limited to drowning?"

If this is the case, then it is a little bit different from the An family brother's idea of ​​revenge.

"No, just now there was a water ghost in the water who wanted to drown him, but I beat him away~" Mu Ying claimed credit.

Ling Gu was startled: "Water ghost?"

Mu Ying described the "water ghost" she saw just now with more details, and she was speechless, very intriguing.

After she finished speaking, Bai Yu said calmly: "It's a wild beast."

The mysterious illusion in Ling Gu's head shattered at the sound, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he quickly returned to seriousness.He said: "The wild beast... could it really be An He? If he also entered that secret realm, entered the Taiyuan through the teleportation array of the secret realm, and then sneaked into the lake as a wild beast to wait for an opportunity, it is not impossible of."

Bai Yu was silent for a moment, then turned to Mu Ying and asked, "Have you left the thorns?"

Mu Ying raised her head triumphantly: "Of course."

Bai Yu nodded and said: "Then let Boyan guard the secret place for Meng Yu, and Meng Yu takes people to guard the river around the city. If Qin Qian comes back, let him help Meng Yu too. As for Ma Jifei, let the door Let the servants of the Ma family call for someone to come and collect them."

"Yes." Mu Ying led the order and ran away.

"River around the city?" Ling Gu turned his head and asked Bai Yu, "Is it the big river outside the city gate?"

"Well, there are quite a few ditches and rivers in the city, and some of the main rivers are called the Ring River." Bai Yu pointed to Mingjing Lake and said, "What you just said reminded me that although this lake is natural, But it was not so big at the beginning. Later, it was artificially expanded, and the water inlet and outlet were left, and the bottom of the lake was connected to the dark river. The teleportation array is not the only way to get in and out of the Taiyuan."

Ling Gu was stunned, no wonder no one noticed that Ma Jihao was drowning. If he could enter and exit from the bottom of the lake, it would be really difficult for people to find out.

"If the murderer is caught, will he be handed over to the Ma family?" Ling Gu asked.He still hadn't forgotten the tricks of these families, even if it was really An He's revenge, but when the Ma family and Wan family settled in the Taiyuan, things were no longer simple.

"No, let's ask first. This is a bit weird." Bai Yu said.

"What's so weird?" Ling Gu blinked, very curious.

Seeing his appearance, Bai Yu smiled and said, "Although Ma Jihao is a bully, his cultivation is very good. So one, it's not easy to poison him; two, it's even harder to lure him into the lake after poisoning him." Easy. Three, Ma Jihao's body showed no sign of struggling. Ma Jihao is a martial artist, even if his spiritual power is sealed, his force will not be weakened, so it is not easy to subdue him with one move. He dropped out of school after a long time, and if he really has the blood of a wild beast, then his spiritual power must be very low. So, facing such a weak Anhe, why didn't Ma Jimo resist? And if Anhe can really be together Why did you poison the much weaker Ma Jifei instead of subduing Ma Jihao?"

"You mean..." Ling Gu thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "If An He really did it, then An He should also have a helper?"

"It's still in the Taiyuan. The surrounding area of ​​Mingjing Lake is full of students' activities, and the field of vision is relatively wide. If An He is alone, it will be very difficult for him to go ashore without being found. Moreover, if he is really alone, he can If he can do it, then why should he wait for five years, five years ago, the cultivation base of the Ma family brothers was still very low."

Ling Gu understood, and suddenly felt foggy.Is the person who helped Anhe from the other three families?

"Let's go back first." Bai Yu took Ling Gu's hand and walked out of the Taiyuan.

"Wait
