Chapter 16
In the county government office, there are already ruins.

The house collapsed, a pillar as thick as a person was broken, and the broken branches and leaves of the old pagoda tree flew everywhere, leaving only half of the bare trunk.And no matter what, there are traces of sharp cutting.

There were no lights in the courtyard, and it seemed that there was no one there.

Shen Yanping's body had suffered unimaginable mutilations and was leaning against the corner in a disfigured manner.

Pei Ye moved down Cheng Feng's body and put it together with Shen Yanping.

There were more than a dozen corpses of white-robed men and tolerances lying in the courtyard, and there were even two martial arts masters, who should have rushed to reinforce them after seeing the water dragon.

Judging from the tragedy of the scene, perhaps there was indeed a chance of victory, but in the end unfortunately prevailed.

Pei Ye quickly walked across the courtyard and came to the room where he stayed before. This room was also eroded by the water flow, but it was in the backyard after all, so the damage was not serious.

Pei Ye rummaged under the overturned tables and chairs to find the wine and medicine she had brought, took out a dark brown ball from the cloth bag, and swallowed it with the wine.

Soon it was like a fire ignited in the abdomen, melting the hundred cold iron needles, and the burning pain gradually rose, replacing the colic that was about to erupt in a second wave.

Pei Ye leaned against the wall and took a few deep breaths, the rosiness returned to his face, then he stood up and walked back to the hall.

Because one pillar broke, the roof collapsed obliquely, but the other three still supported a space.

Pei Ye searched through the ruins, but couldn't find Chang Zhiyuan's body. Maybe Master Shen asked him to leave before the more intense fighting broke out.

There was no trace of the soul bird, but the jade box fell under the table, Pei Ye picked it up, and there were two letterheads inside.

With the light on, Pei Ye took out one and put it in front of his eyes.

Sincerely, Shen Changjian:

Our office is aware of the danger, but Shenjing sent a letter a few days ago, saying that a team of special envoys has arrived in our state and must cooperate fully. Captain Jing Du went to Zhengshou County to meet him this morning.When I received the letter, I immediately passed the letter to him from the soul bird, and first asked Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yizhang to help you, but I am afraid that they will not be able to do so in time, so I will leave the "Xiaojiao Heart" to the soul bird. Temporarily relieve the danger.

The heart of reading the letter is burning like burning, Shen Changjian, Mr. Feng, my friend Zhiyuan, take care of yourself! "

Pei Ye put down this letterhead and picked up another one, the pen and ink on it had been changed.

"Xiao Jiaoxin..." Pei Ye murmured, reading the second letter carefully again.

The first sentence is: "Shen Yanping, Xiaojiao's heart has been soaked and sealed, and can be used directly."

Further down, there is a new section after a large blank space.

"If something unexpected happens to Shen Changjian, please follow the instructions below to use 'Xiaojiaoxin'.

Xiaojiaoxin is a self-supporting mind building warlock, which is usually stored in a state of dehydration. Before use, it needs to be soaked in water to make it "live". The soaking time is affected by the concentration of aura in the water.

When used, it must be wrapped with a specific talisman and swallowed. There are two miraculous features of it: the first is the 'Jiao muscle', which can strengthen the body, the knife does not penetrate the bones, and can carry five oxen; the second is the 'water spirit', which can avoid water. Like a fish, it can control two specific water methods.

There are two spells, one is to bind the crocodile, which can use water as a lock; the other is to break the turtle, which can turn water into a blade.If you have no spiritual power, you must use it in a place with sufficient water vapor, and the effect varies from person to person.

Note [-]: If you have no experience in holding spirits and casting spells, do not try the two-way water method!
Note [-]: 'Xiaojiao Xin' must be used by warriors with four meridians and above.If there is no real energy to protect the body, even if the talisman is wrapped, the 'Xiaojiao Heart' will erode the five internal organs.If the envoy wants to save his life, the minimum cannot be less than two lives.

Note [-]: Even if you are qualified enough to use it, you must use another talisman to draw it out within two hours of entering the abdomen. This talisman is attached to the bottom of the box. When used, it is activated with the blood of the swallower and can be used three times.Once it exceeds two hours, within ten days, you will either find a sorcerer from Yangyilou to perform the spell, or find a doctor from Taishan Yaolu to cut open the abdomen.If this time limit is exceeded and the human and bead become one, only the gods can be saved. "

"Magic artifact..." Even though he had already guessed in his heart, Pei Ye was speechless for a moment.

This kind of thing, which we have only heard of in stories, turns out to exist in the world in such a real way.

Opening the bottom of the box, there was indeed a piece of talisman with a gold pen on a black background.

Pei Ye took out this talisman, came to Shen Yanping's side, knelt on the ground, took a last look at the bloody face, pulled out the dagger, and stabbed it into his abdomen.

The stomach was cut open, and the appearance inside was shocking.

Shen Yanping undoubtedly has the qualifications to envoy Xiaojiao's heart, but after death, there is no real energy to protect the body. This walnut-sized magic weapon is like a seed rooted in the soil, sticking out its roots and piercing into the flesh and blood.

The yellow talisman wrapping it has not been punctured, but is like some kind of malleable substance, still attached to the outstretched roots, preventing them from directly contacting the flesh and blood.

Pei Ye took out the black talisman, and it was stained with Shen Yanping's blood, but luckily it was still effective, and as the golden light flowed, the talisman with a yellow background and black pen wrapped in Xiaojiao's heart was like a milk swallow throwing itself into a nest, dragging Xiaojiao's heart to tear Leaving flesh and blood.

After catching this magic weapon, the roots and shoots on it are still squirming and swaying.

Calculated according to the time, Lord Shen died within less than two quarters of an hour. During this time of losing his true energy, Xiaojiao's heart almost parasitized his entire stomach.I have no true energy in my body, so it should be the same as Lord Shen's corpse, so I can support Xiao Jiao for half an hour at most.

It's time to find the man in black robes.

Pei Ye got up and just took a step, but stepped on something, which was protruding from the bottom of Shen Yanping's robe, Pei Ye raised the lamp and lowered his head to pick it up.

It was a thin booklet, and the moment the oil lamp illuminated the yellow cover, the sense of familiarity in Pei Ye's mind exploded, and he froze in place.

""Pictures of Mountains and Seas"..." Pei Ye murmured, he searched through the public house and couldn't find the book, which was originally carried by Shen Yanping.

Turning to the first page, the author who signed it was Du Wuzhen from Jin Dynasty. He didn't pay attention to it when he read it when he was a child, but this time the name made Pei Ye's eyes narrow.

——"I dug out all the books written by Du Wuzhen, and the rest are still being consulted."

No wonder... Pei Ye's mind is swaying, this is the "Fate Method"...

Flipping through the pages quickly, this book is actually a picture book that depicts the appearance of various strange beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. There are not many words, no wonder I liked to read it when I was young.

Finally, Pei Ye pressed a page, and the vague memory was found out.

The content of this page is clear at a glance. There is a phoenix-like fire bird painted on it, and there is a line of small text below it, which reads, "On the hill of Kunlun, there is a bird named Quail Bird, which is the hundred clothes of the emperor."

It is here that the memory of "Quail" originated.

At first glance, it is a simple picture, just a dozen words, it doesn't seem like there is any information that can be connected with 【Quail Head】.

Pei Ye took a closer look, and found that Du Wuzhen's brushwork was indeed quite charming. The quail bird's head was slightly lowered, looking calm and elegant, but other than that, there was nothing unusual about it.

But when his eyes moved to the wings, Pei Ye's eyes twitched, a dangerous sense of familiarity flashed away, and his hair stood up instantly.

There was no reason for this feeling, Pei Ye frowned and looked again, but felt that the quail bird in the painting suddenly had a human look.

It bowed its head, folded its right wing, and spread its left wing in front of its chest, like an old monk. What is it worshiping...?
Suddenly, Pei Ye felt that he suddenly recognized the movement of the wings.He slowly raised his left hand, with his little finger raised, his thumb pinching the lower knuckle of his middle finger, and placing it under his chin.

This handprint is so unfamiliar, why would I——

His thoughts suddenly stopped due to shock, and Pei Ye froze on the spot.

Everything slows down.

The flame of the oil lamp in his hand seemed to be dancing slowly, the raindrops beside him crawled down from the sky like snails, and a bird song elongated his throat...

His mind became extremely clear, and all the movements around him were clearly visible in his eyes.

"The quail bird is the hundred clothes of the emperor", this ability to sort out the emperor's affairs in an orderly manner was given to the young man at this time, and the world was clearly seen before his eyes.

Pei Ye pinched out this handprint again in a daze, the strange state subsided immediately, and Pei Ye fell back to the real world.

The flames are still swaying and dancing in the wind, the raindrops are falling tightly, and the birds are chirping urgently...

Pei Ye looked at her hand: "This is... [quail head]?"

He clearly realized that it was not a dream, this fairy-like ability really existed in him.

At this moment, a distant and lofty call suddenly came from his heart, and Pei Ye suddenly turned his head to look towards the west of the city.

The ceremony begins.

The activated [quail head] played a role.

Pei Ye obviously felt the soul-stirring call this time, but he was not affected at all. He felt that he could even cut off this connection at any time, just like last night, to make the "god" lose his goal.

Vitality is so within reach.

The man in black was going to the west of the city, and the ceremony was also held in the west of the city. He could perceive the location that called him, just as they could perceive their own location at this time.

There are still horses in the backyard, so as long as I cut off the connection and leave the west of the city far away, they will never find me again.

Pei Ye was stunned for a while, then chuckled suddenly.
