Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 71: variable

   Although I can't read the text, the icon is clear enough.

   On the left is a hexagonal honeycomb, which obviously refers to a bronze disc; on the right is engraved with a humanoid symbol, which probably refers to evil.

  From top to bottom, the solid honeycombs increase in sequence, and the human-shaped symbols are also increasing, until all the honeycombs in the last row become solid, but the right side is scraped off by a sharp tool, leaving only a deep nick.

   Below the pattern is a large version of ancient characters.

   Each line at the beginning is composed of a few simple horizontal or vertical bars. Taking into account the continuity of the text, Xia Fan believes that it should be a number like date, year and month.

   Similarly, many parts of it have been deliberately destroyed. It seems that some people don't want the records here to be leaked.

  Looking at the engraving on the complete wall, Xia Fan had an extremely shocking picture in his mind.

   This underground facility built during the Eternal Kingdom is probably a place for studying evil!

   And the picture shows that they not only confirmed the characteristics of the formation of the deep ghost, but even advanced to a deeper field. When all the holes in the disc were filled, what did they see? In other words-what was made?

   Xia Fan only felt a little dry mouth.

   When he realized that the vast majority of people's knowledge of evil is still in a blank stage, and that the Privy Council has monopolized all knowledge about alchemy, he did not feel anything wrong. Limited by the times, it is normal for the concept to be backward.

   But now he has discovered that the ancients may have gone a long way in studying evil phenomena.

   "Brother Xia, what shall we do next?"

   Wei Wushuang's shout interrupted his thoughts.

   That's right, these questions can be studied later, he must deal with the problems in Gaoshan County first.

   Xia Fan returned to Du Mingjin, "Where did the people you murdered come from?"

   "I don't know, I really don't know, my lord!" The latter shook his head repeatedly, "Every time I was informed by Huzhi County, I went to pick up people outside the county."

   "Only you two brothers?"

   "If there are too many people, there will be a hand. But they basically wear black clothes with hoods on their faces. I really can't see their origins!"

   "Apart from giving away people, do they send anything else?"

"There was a gift of silver, a large box and a large box, and these silvers were all put in the mansion of Mr. Hu. Our brothers can only get some fractions! By the way, they also sent a woman in Huzhi County, one Very beautiful woman, I know so much!"

   Xia Fan looked at Shangguancai, who opened his hands and said that he had nothing to add.

   "Have you concealed it? Someone will check it out later." He checked the rope on the other person and lifted it up forcefully, "Follow us."

   "Where are you taking me?"

   "Jinxia City, State Shepherd House."

   "My lord, I'll be dead if I go there!" Du Mingjin's face changed drastically, and he was struggling to kneel down, "I'm acting on orders, please forgive me!"

"Listen well," Xia Fan said sharply, "Your only way to survive is to report the magistrate of Gaoshan County, Hu Huairen. There is no other way to save your life! In addition, even if you can't escape death, you can at least rush to the disc. Before closing, let the officials fish out your younger brother-you don't want him to be tortured here and eventually become a deep ghost, right?"

   Du Mingjin softened, as if he had lost all his strength.

   Xia Fan didn't want to waste his words, grabbed him and walked outside the grotto.

   The way back is much faster, and within an hour, the five people have reached the foot of the mountain.

   However, when it was faintly visible in Takayama Prefecture, something unexpected happened.

   I saw Du Mingjin's face turned pale as paper, and foam overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

  The group had to stop and check his condition.

   "What happened to this guy?"

   "I'm afraid it's poisoning." Shangguan Cai held his pulse, "I guess he can't make it into the city."

   Her remarks were quickly fulfilled. In less than a quarter of an hour, Du Mingjin's condition deteriorated drastically, his whole body was shaking, and the foam became bloodshot.

   He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end Xia Fan only heard the words "that bowl of wine".

   After a few breaths, Du Mingjin completely stopped shaking.

   "He is dead." Shangguan Cai shrugged.

   This is... the mouth? Xia Fan couldn't help clenching his fists. Since the other party had left such a hand on Du Mingjin, there was no reason to let Du Mingyin go alone.

   In an instant, they lost two personal identifications, and the originally good situation suddenly turned over.

   "As long as the grotto is still there, we still have a chance." Wei Wushuang said with relief.

"Not necessarily so." Xia Fan shook his head, "This poison may be just a precautionary measure. If the Du Brothers can return to the county seat on time, they may not realize that they are already poisoned. Once he fails to return, In addition to killing people and killing people, this medicine can also provide a warning signal for poisoners."

   "You mean...we were discovered?"

"I'm not sure, but it is indeed possible." Xia Fan felt that his brain was running fast. The information of this short day almost hit his cognition like a storm, even though he knew the lives of the people at the bottom of this era would not be long. It was a cluster of grass and mustard, but when he really experienced it personally, he was still greatly shocked. "If this is the case, Hu Huairen will inevitably send another group of people to seal the grottoes. The worst result is that there will be no evidence or material evidence left."

   "Then what should we do?" Wei Wushuang asked worriedly.

   "I need someone to go to Jinxia City to report the letter. It is best to pack lightly on the road, the sooner the better." Xia Fan looked at Wang Renzhi, "Prince, you are the only one who can enter the city at night."

"Oh~www.ltnovel.com~ After all, I still have to be my son," Wang Renzhi suddenly came to his mind, "Don't worry, with my Wang family's position in Jinxia, ​​they won't dare to ignore this news of me. Then I will first Take a step!"

After the other party left, Xia Fan shifted his gaze to the other two people, "As for the two of you--can you guard this intersection for me? If Hu Huairen sends people over again, at most it will be servitude and arrest. And the alchemist is Eight-rank officer, delaying for a while should not be a big problem."

   "I should be fine," Wei Wushuang nodded, "How about you brother Xia?"

   "I want to personally go to the residence of the prefect." Xia Fan said decisively. "Only by controlling Hu Huairen, can the material evidence of the grottoes be guaranteed. Moreover, he is also the biggest evidence of the entire incident-in other words, if he can't move, we can take the initiative! Even if he doesn't explain anything. At least it can prevent him from transferring the stolen money. I think Hu Zhixian must not be able to explain why there is so much cash in his mansion."

   "Sorry, I quit." Shangguan Cai said suddenly.

   "Eh..." Wei Wushuang didn't react for a while, "Why?"

Shangguan Cai ignored him, instead staring at Xia Fan, "Do you know what you are doing? Although the magistrate is not of high grade, he is also the chief official in the official department. If the second son of the Wang family has an accident, then Or if you failed to control Huzhi County, resulting in no evidence from both hands, you, the Eight-Rank Alchemist, probably did it."

"Of course it's just that. But have you ever considered a possibility-why would the Privy Council prohibit alchemists from interfering in this matter? There is really no other reason other than the inconvenience of intervening in government affairs?" Shangguan Cai paused here, "Do you think they really don't know the reason behind the frequent appearance of evil?"
