Chapter 654

"Heavenly Gu Granny, what's wrong?"

Lina heard her father's voice and turned her head. She saw a tall and burly middle-aged man with rock-hard muscles and a rigid face walking towards her.

He was nine feet tall, standing out like a crane among chickens. He was taller than the surrounding Gu Tribesmen by two heads, and his arms were thicker than Lina's waist. (Author's note: Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, the length of one foot is between 29.6 and 31.1cm)

As he walked, he looked around like an eagle, giving off an oppressive feeling.

Compared to this man, the hunchbacked Heavenly Gu Granny was like a child.

Heavenly Gu Granny raised her head and nodded slightly. She quickly looked back at Lina and said with a trembling voice, "Girl, tell me, I'm waiting."

Granny was a little anxious … What's wrong with her? Does she want to pick up silver every day like Number Three's friend? Lina felt uncomfortable because of Heavenly Gu Granny's intense reaction.

Since Heavenly Gu Granny refused to leave, the group stopped. The elites of Heavenly Gu Tribe looked at Lina. The people of other tribes whispered to each other, not knowing what happened here.

Heavenly Gu Granny turned her head and said to a junior from the headquarters behind her, "Inform the tribe leaders to take a break. Come, girl, let's talk over there … Longtu, you are not allowed to follow us. "

The leader of Strength Gu Clan, whose name was Long Tu, stopped in his tracks and silently watched his daughter being brought into the distance by Heaven Gu Grandma.

The leaders of the other five tribes gathered together and walked to Longtu's side. They stood shoulder to shoulder with him as they watched the old man and the young man leave.

"Longtu, what's going on?"

The leader of Strength Gu Tribe shook his head, "Maybe you should ask the people of Heavenly Gu Tribe."

The leaders turned around and looked behind them.

"Lina was just joking with granny. Who knew that granny would be so excited."

"What did she say?"

"Lina has a friend who picks up silver every day."

"…"

…

Heavenly Gu Granny held a torch and came to a tree. This place was very far from the group, and she could only see a small fire behind her.

The crescent moon hung in the sky, sprinkling white light down. The light shone on Heavenly Gu Granny's wrinkled old face. She was no longer anxious and excited, and had calmed down.

"Lass, tell Granny what's going on."

Lina pursed her lips and said, "I recently made a friend. He said he has a friend who is always picking up money for no reason. He is distressed and doesn't understand why."

Heavenly Gu Granny squinted and asked, "How does he pick up silver? How much? Apart from picking up silver, what's so special? Tell me everything, no matter how big or small. "

Lina scratched her head innocently and said apologetically, "I don't know about that. After all, he's a friend of a friend. But I heard San … my friend say that as long as I pick up silver, I can live a life of plenty."

Out of curiosity, Lina thought that the Heaven Gu Division could observe all living things and knew a lot of things, so she casually asked.

Who wouldn't be curious about picking up silver every day?

"Where?"

Number Three is in Great Feng Capital, so his friends should be there too … Lina said uncertainly, "I think they're in Great Feng Capital."

"Great Feng Capital?!" Granny Heavenly Gu was shocked. She shook her head and said, "Impossible, it can't be. It can't be anywhere. It can't be in Great Feng City … This doesn't make sense …"

Granny Heavenly Gu frowned. Sometimes she was enlightened, and sometimes she was surprised. Her expression kept changing.

Heavenly Gu Granny frowned. She was confused and confused. Lina felt that she was a very smart woman and had already noticed that something was wrong. If it was just a small matter like picking up money, the Heavenly Voodoo Granny would not drag her to a secluded place to talk.

Lina thought she was a smart woman, and she had already noticed that something was wrong. If it was just a small matter like picking up money, Heavenly Gu Granny would not drag her to a secluded place to talk.

But she felt that it was absurd. An interesting matter that happened in Great Feng's capital actually made the Tiangu Granny so serious and concerned.

But she found it absurd that an interesting thing happened in the capital city of Daibun made Heavenly Gu Granny so serious and concerned.

"Your friend should be the one who picks up silver every day, not the so-called friend of a friend." Heavenly Gu Granny looked at the naive girl.

Lina slightly opened her red lips, and her light blue eyes froze.

Number Three actually lied to her. She didn't expect him to be such a scoundrel who liked to lie to others. She even thought that Number Three was a chivalrous scholar.

Didn't the elders in the tribe say that scholars were all unyielding and upright?

Granny Heavenly Gu sighed. She looked up at Yuelun and said in a deep voice, "Many years ago, two thieves snuck into a big family for some reason and stole a very important item. The whereabouts of the item were still unknown, and the thief had never appeared again.

"In the homes of the rich, some people know that something has been stolen, and some people still don't know about it."

Lina blinked. "What did you steal?"

Granny Heaven Gu didn't explain. She repeated that it was something very important.

…

Soon, the hundred elites of the Gu Race arrived at Extreme Abyss, a bottomless rift valley.

The poisonous barrier spread out from the rift valley, giving birth to poisonous plants and all kinds of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. This was a natural Gu worm farm that provided an endless supply of "raw materials" for the Gu race.

Lina had been here more than once, but she had always been at the periphery to capture Gu worms. She had never gone deep.

The team moved forward in silence. The insect repellent powder and poison dispelling pills on their bodies made them immune to the poisonous barrier and the harassment of the poisonous insects.

The Gu Poison Tribe members were like fish in water here, glowing with health.

Following the path that the predecessors had created, they went deep into the rift valley. Gradually, the scenery began to change. The dark brown soil was filled with deformed and strange plants.

Between the dense foliage and the grass, came the sound of rustling, and the poisonous insects living here were alarmed by this group of uninvited guests.

"Ah …" Suddenly, someone screamed. It was a man dressed in cloth clothes. His skin was red, and his pants were propped up high. They were growing larger and larger.

"Woman, I want a woman …" He shouted and pounced on his male companion. He hugged him tightly and crazily did monotonous exercises.

But because they were separated by clothes, his posture was wrong, and he couldn't find the right path. He was so anxious that he almost lost his mind.

Strange sounds could be heard everywhere. There were men and women. The men hugged the trees, and the women also hugged the trees …

Lina knew that these people were poisoned by the Desire Gu.

The people of the Gu race did not panic at all. They retreated consciously, and even laughed and pointed at them.

The Desire Gu Tribe members spread out and treated the poisoned tribesmen. They took out black, soft-bodied insects that looked like leeches from their cloth bags and sprinkled them on the chests, necks, and crotches of the poisoned people.

The "leeches" attached themselves to the surface of the skin. Their mouths pierced into the blood vessels and crazily swallowed the blood.

Not long later, these leeches swelled up and fell off the surface of the skin in satisfaction. The symptoms of the poisoned tribesmen immediately improved.

Other than the people who were faster, who felt weak from their bodies being hollowed out, the people who were longer affected were almost unaffected.

The deeper they went into the rift valley, the more Gu worms they encountered, and the variety was abundant. For example, there were big worms with bodies as strong as cows, colorful butterflies, snakes with twelve eyes, walking dead animals, male wild dogs with three genitalia, and so on.

Finally, the team stopped in a flat area. There were no plants here, only uneven rocks.

Among the poisonous creatures, Lina saw a tall stone statue. It was vaguely a man wearing a loose robe and a high crown. He had one hand behind his back and the other on his abdomen. He slightly lowered his head and looked at the crack of the abyss.

The seven tribal leaders tacitly walked towards the stone statue.

"Mose, who is that person?" Lina tugged at her brother's sleeve.

Mo Sang, who had a scar on his left face and an unruly temperament, said in a deep voice, "I don't know his name, but you should have heard of his title …"

He paused, and said with respect, "The Scholarly Sage."

…

In the small courtyard, the candlelight was as small as a bean.

"I have been searching for Hengy Yuan's whereabouts, but so far, I only know that he is still in the city. I don't know where he is." The Jinlian Taoist priest sat cross-legged on the bed and said while shaking his head.

"You can't locate him through the Book of the Earth?" Xu Qi 'an remembered that "Number Nine" was able to lock onto his position through the Book of the Earth, and it didn't take too long.

It was reasonable to say that Number Six had been missing for almost ten days. The Jinlian Taoist priest should have found him by now.

"I guess that Number Six, or the Book of the Earth, has been sealed."

… Ah? What should I do if it's sealed? This is making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger. Xu Qi 'an was a little confused.

"Unless I can get close. For the past ten days, I have walked more than half of the outer city on foot, using the stupidest and safest method to search. If Hengy Yuan's Book of the Earth is less than thirty feet away from me, I can immediately sense it, even if it's sealed. "The Jinlian Taoist priest smiled confidently.

"There is no need to doubt it. This is the status of a treasure of heaven and earth."

It's status … Xu Qi 'an thought in his heart, and at the same time, he was relieved.

Although the method was stupid, it was good as long as it worked. The most frightening thing was that there was no way at all.

"If there is news of Number Six, I will inform you immediately. Hehe, it's better for you to do it than me. I also need the strength of the night watchman. This is the capital, after all, the night watchman's territory. "Speaking of this, the Jinlian Taoist priest seemed to have thought of something.

"By the way, what is Wei Yuan's opinion on this case?"

"He doesn't have any opinion, he just wants me to work hard." Xu Qi 'an shook his head and sighed.

At this time, he noticed that the Jinlian Taoist priest's expression was very strange, because it looked like this:

The corner of Xu Qi 'an's mouth twitched, and he said gloomily, "Taoist priest, why are you looking at me like that?"

The Jinlian Taoist priest said, "I'm afraid that Wei Yuan wants to turn you into the night watchman's spy, or chase you out of the capital."

… Xu Qi 'an's eyes widened in shock.

The Jinlian Taoist priest seemed to be very satisfied with Xu Qi 'an's reaction, and explained with a smile, "The fact that he gave you the Book of the Earth's Book of the Earth means that he values you enough. However, he won't give you any pointers on the case.

"This proves that he can't wait for you to anger the Yuanjing Emperor, so that you can no longer stay in the capital."

Xu Qi 'an was not convinced, and he wanted to defend Wei Yuan, but he could not spit out the words. This was because Wei Yuan was very calm, and he had indeed revealed his thoughts in this regard.

"No, Wei Yuan did look on with folded arms, but at most, he let it go. He didn't care, nor did he interfere, and I handled it on my own."

"You underestimate Wei Yuan too much. This person wielded great power as a eunuch, and as a eunuch, he led hundreds of thousands of troops to victory in the Battle of Shanhai Pass. Even the King of Zhenbei was overshadowed by him. His ability, skill, and scheming are all top-notch in the world. I'm sure that regarding the Sampo Case, he definitely knows more than you do. "

"…" Xu Qi 'an sat in a daze for a long time without saying anything.

Was this really a fake father-son relationship?

The Jinlian Taoist priest looked at him, "But I can't figure out why Wei Yuan forced you to leave the capital. He doesn't lack eagle claws. "

The room was silent for a long time. The Jinlian Taoist priest wanted to slip away after stabbing the knife. "Is there anything else?"

"Yes!" Xu Qi 'an did not let go of the opportunity to fleece him, "I want to go to Count Pingyuan's mansion, but it's heavily guarded. I have the means to enter, but I don't have the means to subdue people silently. I want to ask for your help, Taoist priest."

"You want to find Count Pingyuan's legitimate son." The Jinlian Taoist priest understood.

"Hengy Yuan said that Junior Brother Heng Hui was abducted by Yazi, so he wouldn't speak without thinking. Since I can't find Hengy Yuan now, I'll try to find a breakthrough from Count Pingyuan, "Xu Qi 'an said.

"But he's already dead."

"He still has his legitimate son."
