Chapter five hundred and seventy-seven
...I don't dare to set up flags anymore... Talk less and do more... Second...
Are you also learning to play with self-destruction?
In addition to being surprised, I struggled to break free.
Although the mole cricket king is not very good at martial arts, who knows how powerful he is when he explodes?
It's better to be careful.
Well……
Can't get out of it.
The mole cricket king was like a candy stick to my thigh.
Oops!
Before I could take the next step, the mole cricket king burst out and a hot light completely enveloped me.
This power is definitely several times greater than the small breath I used just now.
Buzz...
At the core of the light, I saw a beetle as big as a fist, bright as a little sun.
The beetle vibrated its wings and trembled all over, feeling that it would explode again.
Without hesitation, I waved my hand immediately and slashed out an aurora sword again.
The colorful sword light flashed, and the beetle suddenly split into two, like two small bowls falling to the ground.
At the broken mouth of the insect corpse, thick fluorescent juice flowed in.
It's okay.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Buzz...
Unexpectedly, the air was only half loose, and the two pieces of insect corpses on the ground actually fluttered violently again.
It is said that a centipede worm will die without being stiff. You kid don’t seem to have that many feet, right?
I had no time to think about it. When my neck shrank, my loach skills and the body skills of the lazy donkey were possessed at the same time, and I rolled out of the house.
Bang!
The rubble behind him was like rain and the red flames soared into the sky.
I took a breath as usual.
Is this too powerful?
"What's going on?"
"It's time to go, it's time to go!"
"Which family has happened?"
Such a huge movement immediately alarmed the villagers.
When they rushed out, I lurked beside me and quietly observed everyone's actions.
After surveillance for more than half an hour, the fire was put out, and the villagers could not find the missing mole cricket king, and finally gradually dispersed.
I waited for another half an hour.
No abnormal situation was found, and the villagers seemed to be unaware of the special identity of the mole cricket king.
As for Ling Zexu, there is still no trace.
That's the end?
I wandered around the village unwillingly, but it turned out to be unexpectedly nothing.
Do you have to kick the door and search?
After thinking for a while, I decided to withdraw first.
Because I have a kind of intuition, Ling Zexu was not captured by someone among the villagers.
There may be another reason for the incident.
Let's go.
Leaving Tianya Village and walking on the uninhabited mountain road, I took out a piece of white cloth from behind and opened it to take a closer look.
What's so good about white cloth?
If you see clearly, this is not a white cloth, but a gray-white canvas. The sand, dust, fine stones, and ground patterns in the picture are all realistic and mirror-like.
Where did it come from?
Of course, I took it with you before entering the dungeon.
With such a high degree of imitation, the painter's painting skills are shocking. With this painting, I might be able to follow the clues and find out the background of the Eagle God Palace.
After making up my mind, I immediately accelerated my pace, left this rugged mountain road, summoned the black wind, and rode my horse back to Qiujun.
When I saw the city walls of Qiujun from afar, the sky was hazy and the city gate had not opened yet.
How to get in?
Gada, Gada.
The four hooves were stomping, and the horse stance did not slow down at all. In an instant, it had already arrived under the city wall.
"What are you doing?" A soldier who had been on duty on the city wall asked.
I didn't say anything, but just took out an object from my waist and shook it in front of the soldiers.
The soldiers looked at each other.
"Let him go." A sergeant separated the soldiers and said.
A crack was opened by the city gate and I quickly passed through it.
What object I took out has such a effect?
This thing is nothing else, but the bronze nameplate given to me by the deputy general in Gantong Town, after I solved the Damashu incident, representing the identity of the military sentry detective.
Actually, this is not something rare.
At the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, the army would send countless sentry probes out every year to collect various information. For example, the sentry probes were all in one of them.
Later, the world was peaceful and the role of the whistle detective gradually became useless, but he still had to pay a considerable military salary for it.
Disposable positions, a generous amount of food and salary...
Obviously, the opportunity to make money has come.
At the beginning, the posts of the sentry were just idle, leaving the generals with empty salary.
Later, a 'smart person' began to sell waist brands.
Of course, what is sold is not just the waist card, but the focus is on the identity of the military sentry, which allows people to freely enter and exit many levels and cities.
The most wonderful thing about this approach is that it not only makes more money, but also fills in the job vacancy, turning the empty salary into a "real salary".
What? You ask why these "sentinels" have identities such as farmers, hunters, merchants, knights, gangsters, etc.
To cover up.
These are all officially registered military sentry detectives, with identities spread across all walks of life, and can provide massive amounts of intelligence to the army when necessary.
It is legitimate, reasonable and legal, and no one can catch any mistakes.
So, the bronze nameplate in my hand is just one of the many outgoing sergeant identities. Even if the people on the city wall have some doubts, they will only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
If you take this thing seriously, it will be a big deal!
That's all the gossip.
Let me say that I entered the city gate and walked along the mountain passage to the south city.
What to do next?
Of course, I am looking for experts to find out the origin of this painting.
This Qiujun was known as the "Little Pai Capital" back then, with a profound cultural heritage and certainly an indispensable industry in calligraphy and painting.
Although it was still early and the store must have not opened, there were already many pedestrians walking around on the road. I grabbed one and asked about the road, and then turned to Southwest Second Street.
Wow...
Someone is splashing water to clean the streets.
Wow! Looking around, there are calligraphy, painting and antique shops on both sides of the street, and there are dozens or hundreds of shops.
Two of them have already opened their doors.
When I went over and asked, I realized that although the door was open, only the guy, the shopkeeper and the appraiser did not come and could not do the work.
Well, it's too early.
I simply found a hall (not a bathhouse) to wash up, put on new clothes, and sat in a nearby restaurant for more than an hour. Through the windows on the street, I saw that the store was open, so I carried the canvas and specially selected shops with large shops with old sizes and quaint signatures to ask.
Seeing this painting, the shopkeeper and appraisers all opened their eyes wide, some of which were amazed, some of which were regretful, some of which were disdainful (pretend), some of which were scolding, some of which were drooling...
But no one can tell the details of this painting.
"Young Master, why don't you sell this painting to our store?" said Liu Dazhangguan from Danqing Pavilion, "The price is easy to discuss."
"If you can find out the origin of this painting, the price I give is easy to discuss." I shook my head.
"Then it." Liu Dashangguan didn't force himself, "The most eye-catching appraiser in our entire Qiu County, even in Yuzhou, is the old man Mo Zhengmo from Mo Rantang. If you ask him, you might know something."
"Where is Mo Rantang?" I asked hurriedly.
"Mo Rantang is not on this street." Liu Dashang Guest said, "But it's easy to find. You can walk along the main road and go to the entrance of Chuanshan Tunnel to the left, and you can see it at a glance..."
Chapter completed!
