Between mountains and seas

Chapter 120 The character design has collapsed

Sitting at the joints of the Ao bone pillar, Shao Jingxing and Huo Qing looked at each other.

Of course, there are some problems within the special affairs department, otherwise, how could Yuan Fei and Xun Caowan appear?However, these are different from five-color stones—or, in other words, insect eggs that can absorb people.

The problem with Yuan Fei before was that people with supernatural powers used their "capability" for personal gain. Although Yuan Fei may cause considerable harm, he is limited to one "person". If he is caught, all troubles will be solved.

But now this worm egg is different.This thing is not a matter of one or two, nor is it harmless if you don't use it, but people will suck it when they encounter supernatural powers.If there are a few eggs scattered here, it will be a time bomb one after another, and it may multiply more and more.

Moreover, this egg will eventually become a pupa, and the pupa--probably a living rock!If news of such things spreads out, what kind of contention will it cause?You can tell by the way He Maochuan is thinking about it.Will be as crazy as him, definitely not a minority!

But the biggest question remains—what is this person who knows the secret doing with this bug egg.

"In this way, what Ka Mogawa said about the five-color moth is true. This five-color moth lays eggs, the eggs absorb supernatural powers and hatch, and the larvae eat people and grow up to form a pupa. The pupa contains the energy absorbed by the larvae , that is, the five-color stones used to mend the sky—Nuwa's own energy is insufficient, so she uses five-color stones to provide energy for the talisman array." Huo Qing sorted out all the clues one by one.

"Then why is this insect egg not recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing"?" Shao Jingxing racked his brains to recall for a while, "The five-color moth didn't mention it either..."

Huo Qing pondered and said, "Maybe only Nuwa knows about this."

"That's right..." Shao Jingxing rested his chin on his knees and stared blankly at the bones below, "This thing is a little too... If it is really known, everyone will want it, and it will be a mess It's gone." Who knows when an insect egg will be placed on your body or in your home, and then...

But in this way, the question arises. Since this thing is not even recorded, where do these eggs come from now?

"The one on Antique Street said it was a relic invited from abroad—" Shao Jingxing was thinking, "It's probably a lie, but it was just to avoid trouble. That Xiao Zheng's former leader had a heart attack...a heart attack?"

The two glanced at each other, and Shao Jingxing almost jumped up: "Could it be that..."

If it was in the past, Shao Jingxing would definitely not think of other things if he had a heart attack.Arteriosclerosis has almost become a common disease now. It is difficult for people with a certain status to talk if they do not have a three-high degree. Myocardial infarction is getting younger and younger. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems kill people, it is almost impossible. too normal!

But now that he had this worm egg, Shao Jingxing couldn't help but think about that Emperor Murakami who didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky—could it be said that the heart of Minister Hao is also a five-color stone?

But wait, if Minister Hao is really that dead, there won't be a single egg.So, Minister Hao was a supernatural being who died after being sucked dry by the larvae?

"No." Huo Qing knew a lot more about this than him: "These ministers are ordinary people, and there are no supernatural beings."

"That's not the right name again..." Shao Jingxing put his chin on his knee again, with a frustrated expression on his face.

Huo Qing shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. The egg shell may have other uses. In short, we can investigate the death of Minister Hao when we go back."

What can eggshells do?Shao Jingxing crossed his legs and thought.

As far as we know, there is still a part of the energy in the egg shell that can be absorbed, so it will attract strange beasts—for example, the mountain spider who stubbornly wants to dig a tunnel to go to the antique street; for example, the countless strange beasts in Rao Mountain; Breeding snakes in caves...

But this doesn't make sense... Shao Jingxing thought in confusion.

However, Huo Qing was thinking about another question: "If all the strange beasts in Raoshan were attracted by these egg shells, how many egg shells are there?" In other words, how many people have...

Thinking about this question really makes the back of my head.But there is another more hair-raising question: "Why didn't Raoshan have such a problem before?"

In fact, this question is easy to answer. It must be that no one has thrown eggshells to Rao Mountain before.Then the egg shells must have been thrown in recently, probably in large quantities.It is even very possible that the egg shells that have been accumulated for a period of time have been thrown in.

So here comes the question: recently, who has entered the fixed door in Rao Mountain?

"The most recent inspection was last year." Huo Qing could easily answer this question. "According to the regulations, the inspectors include a watchman, section chief Qi, deputy section chief Yan, and a recorder."

So all of a sudden, there were three more suspicious people in the special affairs department, including two leaders.

Think about the fact that Yuan Fei's information was taken out... Maybe a former section chief was also included.

"Who do you think it could be?" Shao Jingxing asked Huo Qing tentatively.

There was no answer for a long time, Shao Jingxing turned his head, only to find that Huo Qing's complexion was very gloomy, even in such dim light: "Why, what's the matter?"

Huo Qing's lips moved, but he didn't speak.Shao Jingxing felt even more disturbed: "What did you think of? No matter what, just say it."

Huo Qing looked at him for a while, then said in a low voice: "When Gu Rong was born, his heart and lungs were underdeveloped."

"Hmm—" Shao Jingxing waited for him to continue, and asked casually, "How do you know?"

As a result, Huo Qing didn't answer for a long time, and Shao Jingxing suddenly realized: "What, you mean Gu Rong—" Gu Rong used five-color stones?So, is it Gu Sheng?

Huo Qing's lips were tightly closed, and the corners of his lips were drawn into a sharp straight line. Shao Jingxing looked at him for a while, and then thought of another thing: "That, that back then, you said that you awakened the ability..."

Shao Jingxing remembered very clearly what Huo Qing said back then—it was the first time the two of them told each other about their life experiences, and they both felt that they were in the same boat. Being able to suddenly awaken because of the Yuchang Sword, not only absorbed the energy contained in the Yuchang Sword, but also killed his mother and Su Yuanshan, a member of the special affairs department who was present at the time.

It is precisely because of such a tragedy that Huo Qing felt guilty since he was a child. He trained and worked desperately, and fought against strange beasts without fear of death. In fact, it was all because he wanted to "atone for his sin", although this sin was not a crime. He committed it on purpose.

It was also because of this tragedy that Huo Qing lost his parents since birth, and was raised by Gu Sheng.For this "adopted father", Huo Qing was full of gratitude. If it wasn't for the guilt that made him habitually keep a little distance from the people in the special affairs department, saying that he regarded Gu Sheng as his biological father would be almost the same.

However, if there is another reason for Su Yuanshan's death...

"This, this matter is not necessarily..." Shao Jingxing was a little incoherent.He also didn't know what to look forward to in reality. Is it better to let Huo Qing get rid of the cross of guilt, or not to shake the pillar of Gu Sheng in his mind?

"I know." Huo Qing lowered his eyes, looking at the bones under his feet, "I'm just guessing. And Uncle Gu hasn't been through the door of the Northern Suburb Cemetery in recent years."

Shao Jingxing didn't dare to speak.Because it is very possible that Gu Sheng just hasn't touched that door on the surface.Maybe he had sneaked in, or he could have entrusted someone else to take the opportunity to throw those egg shells to Rao Mountain. After all, whether he was with Qi Tongmin or Deputy Section Chief Yan, he was very close.

Of course, speaking carefully, Qi Tongmin is closer to him, and Gu Rong was specially recruited by Qi Tongmin...

Thinking about it this way, Shao Jingxing's brain hole couldn't help but get bigger and bigger: "However, if it's Uncle Gu, where did he get the eggs?"

"...the final pen." Huo Qing said in a low voice, "in fact, some people have discussed it in private before, saying that the final pen may be a relic of Nuwa or Fuxi, because there are gossip symbols engraved on the final pen to gather spirits. , in order to keep the ultimate power contained in the bones of the end." The gossip was created by Fuxi.

"Aren't there... a lot of people who know how to use gossip symbols?"

Huo Qing shook his head: "After all, he is dead, and he must be a master if he can keep that aura with the gossip talisman." Experts have seen it, of course they want to learn how to make it.But until now, no one has been able to imitate it successfully, mainly because they still can't understand the runes engraved on the body of the pen.

In fact, when the Gu family presented the final pen, some people discussed the origin of the Gu family in private, suspecting that they were descendants of Fuxi or Nuwa.Gu Aiguo's power level is not high but he can become the top leader. Of course, it has something to do with his skill in handling things and his ability to predict, but it has nothing to do with the speculation that the Gu family is a descendant of Fuxi or Nuwa.

Of course, Huo Qing didn't know what happened in the past few decades, but he had also heard about this speculation.In the past, he just listened to it and didn't take it to heart—whether Gu Sheng is a descendant of Fuxi or a wild superhuman with no background, it doesn't prevent him from being someone he respects and strives to emulate.but now……

"So Uncle Gu may be a descendant of Nuwa, and Nuwa passed down this kind of eggs to the Gu family..." Shao Jingxing murmured, "Because Gu Rong was congenitally deficient, Uncle Gu wanted to cure him, so he absorbed Su Yuanshan. Ability?"

It makes sense if you think about it that way.Among the five internal organs, the lungs are white in color and mainly gold. The chrysalis produced by absorbing the power of the metal system can indeed cure the deficiency of the lungs—er, to put it bluntly, it uses white chrysalis to replace the function of the lungs, just like Emperor Murakami. The red "living stone" instead of the heart is the same.

"No!" Huo Qing raised his head suddenly, and said fiercely, "Uncle Gu couldn't have killed Su Yuanshan just to cure his own son! He must have wanted the Fish Intestine Sword at that time." The supernatural power of the intestinal sword was absorbed by him, but the worm eggs sucked up Su Yuanshan.

"This should be an accident..." Huo Qing pressed his temple in pain, "It must have been an accident!" Gu Sheng is definitely not that kind of person!

"Accident, it must be an accident." Shao Jingxing hastily followed Huo Qing's words, "I saw that bug, it moved so fast, and the snake was sucked dry with a swish. It was too fast! For sure It was the worm egg that absorbed the power of Yuchang Sword and hatched, and then the power of Yuchang Sword disappeared all of a sudden, Uncle Gu couldn't control it, the worm absorbed Su Yuanshan's ability! It must be!"

Huo Qing smiled wryly: "If I hadn't absorbed the Fish Intestine Sword at that time..."

When Shao Jingxing heard this, something was wrong: "Why do you blame you? Do you want to absorb it? Wasn't it because at that time—" It was because Huo Qing's father went crazy and stabbed his wife with a sword!But thinking about it this way, the fault is still on the Huo family's side?

"No. If it weren't for the worm eggs, you would absorb the Fish Intestine Sword as soon as you absorbed it, and you wouldn't be dead at all." No matter how you count this mistake, it can't be counted on Huo Qing. He was not even qualified to be a baby at that time. Do it, it's a fetus!

Shao Jingxing put his arms around Huo Qing, turned his face and looked at himself, wishing he could rub his whole body into his arms: "Anyway, it's not your fault anyway! We don't think so much, it's all Speculation, maybe it’s not true!”

Huo Qing looked at him a little blankly, and for the first time his calm and sharp gaze became a little fragile.Shao Jingxing was so distressed, he touched his face, and leaned over to kiss him: "It's really not your problem, baby, it has nothing to do with you, it doesn't matter at all!"

In fact, he also knew that it wasn't about whether Su Yuanshan's death had anything to do with Huo Qing - it had been related for more than twenty years, and Huo Qing had long been used to it.The question now is, what does Su Yuanshan's death have to do with Gu Sheng, and Gu Sheng adopted Huo Qing because Huo Qing was charged with this crime, so does Gu Sheng feel guilty?

What Huo Qing was most afraid of was that Gu Sheng was not what he thought.He has no father, and Gu Sheng actually took the place of his father in his heart, and even became his imitation target and spiritual support.If this pillar collapsed, it would be - no less than a mountain collapsed in Buzhou!

But the problem is that Shao Jingxing doesn't know what's going on with Gu Sheng now.According to the information we have so far, Gu Sheng, Qi Tongmin, Deputy Section Chief Yan, the Big Three of the special affairs department, plus a former section chief, all of them cannot escape the suspicion, even Gu Sheng seems to be more suspicious. .

Shao Jingxing couldn't assure Huo Qing that Gu Sheng would never do that kind of thing—although he also felt that Gu Sheng was not like the kind of person who would act in person and act in secret, but after all, he had known him for a short time and he was separated from others. Belly, who dares to make a guarantee?If the guarantee was wrong, it would be nothing if he was slapped in the face, but Huo Qing would be hurt again.

Such a calm and strong person would not take a step back in the face of any strange beast, but his spiritual world is actually not that indestructible.No, it should be said that as long as Gu Sheng's pillar does not fall, Huo Qing will not fall, but if Gu Sheng falls...

Uncle Gu, you must maintain your character and don't collapse!Shao Jingxing could not wait to kneel down and kowtow to all the gods and Buddhas in the four directions. It is only now that he guesses that Huo Qing is so sad. If the human setting really collapses, Huo Qing will be so sad.

The more Shao Jingxing thought about it, the more distressed he became, and he hugged Huo Qing and kissed him endlessly.At the beginning, I kissed the forehead, cheeks and eyes, and finally kissed the lips.

Huo Qing was stunned for a while, maybe he was still struggling in Gu Sheng's character set for a while, but the young man is more vigorous than that... Anyway, after a few seconds, he was in a daze, and then, he retorted...

Shao Jingxing gasped and struggled for a while.It's a shame, obviously he was the first to speak, but now he is the one who can't hold back his shortness of breath.Moreover, he really just wanted to comfort Huo Qing, not to take advantage of others' danger.

"Uh—" Shao Jingxing planned to explain.But just as he made a sound, Huo Qing had pulled him back.

This, this is not quite right... When Shao Jingxing was laid down on the platform between the knuckles, he felt that his brain was not enough - this posture seemed not quite right?It seems to be different from what he imagined before!

"No—" Shao Jingxing struggled to free his mouth to speak, "Then what, we..." Should we change positions?

The latter words were swallowed when they saw Huo Qing's eyes.

Those eyes... When the usually cold and hard metal melts, it turns out to be so hot and boiling.

In an instant, countless words flashed through Shao Jingxing's mind, such as "A hero is saddened by a beautiful woman", something like "Death under a peony flower, even a ghost is a romantic", and something like "Give your life to accompany a gentleman, and eat puffer fish to your death"——No, What is this sentence, throw it out!

In short, Shao Jingxing only said one sentence in the end: "This, this is in the air..." There is no way to get on the ground, and the platform is so small, if the action gets violent and rolls down...

Then his waist felt cold—the T-shirt was lifted up at some point, and the waistband of the trousers was torn off at some point, so the metal chain was directly buckled around his waist, which was icy cold.But it was this icy and hard feeling, when covering him with Huo Qing's warm skin, there was an unexpected stimulus, which made Shao Jingxing feel proud, and picked up the phrase "give up your life to accompany a gentleman" up.

I don't go to hell, who goes to hell!Others are hell, but love is heaven!At least, this is a treatment that others don't have. How can there be so many lovers in the world, who can do anything in Aozuzhu?

Fight!
