Chapter 487: Clues
After the Imperial Capital returned to its calm, there seemed to be a layer of undispersed haze that had been shrouding over the imperial city. No matter whether it was the bright sunshine or the drizzle, it could not dissipate this heavy depression.
Mingxi left Mo Pavilion and walked towards Qin Tower, the outer city under the cover of Cen Ge's soul body. The brightly lit restaurant was rarely silent. Everyone of Feng Mo's faces were tightly locked, and he didn't dare to come out and wait.
He saw Xiao Qianye who was staring blankly by the window. He was really surprised that the man had not left yet. Mingxi walked over and sat opposite him. The jade ring in his hand and the star pendant in his arms reflected two white lights at the same time. The two souls transformed into shape at the same time. Xiao Qianye just glanced at his brother faintly. Through his soul, he could not judge how his elder brother's physical condition was. When he thought of the black dragons in Xuhai targeted him, his face immediately turned pale and ugly. Mingxi coughed lightly, and saw through his concerns at one glance, and comforted him: "I know you are very worried about him, but you have helped me solve a big problem this time. I believe that no one will be this pioneer again in the short term. I promise you that I will do anything to ensure your brother's safety."
Xiao Qianye's face was not relaxed because of the emperor's promise, and he said restlessly: "The stealth technique of Xuhai is very tricky. Even I can only use Gu Chen to make them show their travels when they are very close. If they still want to use the same trick again, Feng Mo will be helpless."
Mingxi nodded, but was not very worried: "The purpose of the Black Dragon is for you and Miss Yun. If you leave, I believe that the group of people will not make things boring. I have sent someone to investigate the Tide Gambling House. It is the property of the Fourth Master of Lei in Jiucheng. So I also convicted them together this time. Now the five snakes have been beaten up in one go, and all the things left by Gao Chengchuan have fallen into my hands. Don't worry to save her. Such things will not happen again today."
Gao Chengchuan mentioned this name and Xiao Qianye subconsciously raised his hand and held his forehead. This was indeed the most ruthless opponent in his life. Even if he had been dead for so long, he could still cause huge waves repeatedly and swallow up the people he cared about one by one.
"By the way, guess what interesting thing I found in Yuan Pei's body?" Ming Xi suddenly murmured and sighed. Before he could speak, he took the initiative to continue the words, "It's the 'soul-merging', the little thing on Mu Xizhao's body can slightly erode people's five senses and will, and then silently replace it. I said how the king snake Yuan Chengji was so kind-hearted. Over the years, I spent countless efforts to cultivate a test, so that people would work wholeheartedly for him. After a long time, he was like Gao Chengchuan. Seeing himself getting older, he wanted to steal a younger and stronger body in this way for himself. Haha, it's really a bit old."
"What are you going to deal with that person?" Xiao Qianye just asked calmly, and could no longer be interested in the modified test subjects. Mingxi thought about it with a serious expression and replied casually, "It can only be treated as waste. After all, I don't want another Zhu Yan..."
Although he mentioned this name casually, he felt the other person's gaze become fierce and sharp in an instant. He waved his hand to signal him not to get angry, and took out the fragments of the jade-faced divine mirror from his sleeve and handed them over: "What do you want to deal with this person?"
"Mirror of Mirror and Moon?" Xiao Qianye recognized this thing at a glance, and hesitated a little, and immediately came to his senses. After throwing Zhu Yan to Mingxi, he did throw him away, "Don't let him die." Later, during the desert search, he had no time to distract himself from caring about everything about this person. He thought that Zhu Yan, who was severely injured by Gu Chen, should have died long ago, but he didn't expect that Mingxi actually had a way to make him live until now!
Xiao Qianye snatched the fragments, and the sharp mirror cut blood from his palm. Through the mirror, he could clearly see the situation inside - the person who made him grit his teeth with hatred. He was half crawling on the ground, and the wound pierced in his chest was bleeding, splashing out and flowing back back to his heart in a strange posture. However, his face was not distorted by the severe pain, as if he had encountered something more serious blow, and kept muttering with his mouth, clutching forward with both hands, but the mirror of the moon was the time when the virtual world was stagnant, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free from it.
He was shocked by this scene. He knew that Zhu Yan had suffered countless hardships since childhood. Ordinary torture could not cause him any pain. Why did this person seem to be on the verge of collapse?
"If you want his life, I won't stop it." Mingxi said lightly and smiled casually, "But I still recommend you not to do this. He must be more uncomfortable than death now. If you want to kill him, it's just the right thing."
"What did you do?" Xiao Qianye looked at the emperor's unstable eyes cautiously. The firm and cold light calmed down in a flash after a brief sharp edge. He said indifferently, "I did nothing, I just told him something. I told him that Yun Xiao had found it, he was so happy. Do you know? Before I said this, he was so cold and arrogant and stubborn, and refused to reveal any clues about the examination to me, but after I said this, he immediately surrendered, which was much more efficient than torture and confession. I paused for a moment, and he was afraid that I would leave, and he would answer questions and answer them all, just like a different person."
"He is not worthy of knowing A Xiao's whereabouts." Xiao Qianye squeezed the fragments of the mirror hard, and tried his best to restrain his strength to not crush the Mirror Moon Mirror. Mingxi sighed a long time ago, and replied with a cold face, "I know, so I didn't say much, just telling him that he found a person, whether he was life or death? I didn't reveal a word to him. He kept begging me and asked me if Yun Xiao was still alive. I just didn't tell him who would have thought that the ace in Gao Chengchuan's hand would drive himself crazy in the end because of a woman's life and death?"
Xiao Qianye's hand suddenly numbed slightly, and the desperate feeling climbed up along his arms through the mirror. When he was a little confused, Mingxi calmly took back the fragment and said in a low voice: "Before the power of the Mirror of Mirror completely disappears, let him guess in it for the rest of his life."
Mingxi smiled, with such a bright expression, swept away the previous haze and pulled the topic back to the present: "I came here to see you in person today, of course, not just to discuss with you how to deal with Zhu Yan. In fact, after I came back from Yangchuan half a year ago, I went to investigate some information about the Sun Temple. You should have heard of it. A long time ago, the royal family had searched for the underground palace that had been in the desert for two thousand years, but found nothing. The group of thieves who changed their careers and became sand bandits, so I also ordered people to catch some and come back to ask questions. Unfortunately, the conclusions were similar."
Xiao Qianye listened carefully. The Double Temple is the highest place for sacrificial sacrifice in the royal family. Even if he had accompanied him, the information he could get was still very small. Mingxi did not go around with him, but with a look, he stepped back from the other people in the lobby. Then he took out a report and handed it over. "Although it has been investigated for two thousand years, there is actually not much valuable information. On the contrary, some of An Yu's things made me a little interested."
"An Yu, are you trying to talk about the Earth-Binding Spirit?" Xiao Qianye asked nervously, and saw Ming Xi nodding and continued, "The Earth-Binding Spirit has been suppressed by the power of the Double Temple. Although it cannot die, it cannot move freely. It was not until King Chen Pengshan accidentally intervened and released it as a disaster. In order to eliminate the demonic energy on it, King Chen attached his own power to the colorful stone worshipped in the center of the Sun Temple. The Earth-Binding Spirit became the later Palace Master An Yu, and even his father was hidden in the dark."
"This monster is actually very interesting. It is still in my hands. I often go over to talk to it." Mingxi leaned back and showed a meaningful smile. It seemed that he was also amused by these words and said with emotion, "It is trying to understand humans and become a real person. When it caused trouble in Dayan City, it was actually observing the reaction of humans, and constantly imitating and learning from it, making itself more and more like a living person. It is a bit outrageous. The royal family has been searching for something for two thousand years and has been in contact with a monster very close. When it killed the attendant of the temple, it once made the Sun God statue angry like a real god. Only then did it reveal its identity and was discovered by the city lord, and then it fled to the imperial capital. By chance, it became the great palace lord of the Star Sacrifice Palace."
Xiao Qianye's heart trembled, and he was furious like a real god... Isn't this exactly the same as the situation in the Moon Temple before?
"When the Earth-Binding Spirit killed the temple servants, he also used the power of the five-colored stone. The thing has been worshipped for thousands of years, but there is no record of its use. I don't even know what it is. Anyway, it has been placed there and is enshrined as a baptism. In fact, when I recall it now, the things that can make King Chen take action must be more than just a beautiful stone, right? Unfortunately, the whereabouts of the five-colored stone are still unknown, and I have no way to guess what unknown secrets are hidden on it."
Although he said this, he had another colorful crystal in his hand at some point. It was not the color of the crystal itself, but reflected from the light of Qinlou. He carefully put it on the table and said in a low voice: "Don't mention the colorful stone for now, have you seen this thing?"
"The Eye of the Sun God..." Xiao Qianye looked at him in confusion, and Mingxi nodded, "There are ninety-six similar crystals in the Sacred Star Palace, and the entire Feiyuan area is countless. However, after they were crushed by the power of the King of Chen, they have not been fully restored yet. However, the core connecting all the crystals is the piece in my hand. Together with Chen Yue, they are enshrined in a forbidden area that only the royal family can enter. This is the real Sun God eye, which allows the ruler to see through the entire Feiyuan area at a glance. The other crystals are just contaminated with its power."
Mingxi paused, rubbed his eyes, closed slowly, curled his smile and let out a breath, reminding him: "Is the Sun God's Eye a little like the stolen five-colored stone? Eyes... are originally a pair of them."
The conversation between the two ended abruptly. After a long time, Mingxi slowly pushed the crystal stone in front of Xiao Qianye and whispered: "You put away this thing, and I can only investigate this. If you can help, it is best. If you can't help, you can only find it yourself."
