Chapter 208 Funeral Palace in the Suburbs of Beijing (40)

"Ahem, of course, he's not scolding you!"

Yu Hehui was so happy that he immediately came over to take a look inside. But when he came closer, he first saw Wei Xun's raised corners of his mouth. This half-smiling expression made Yu Hehui's heart skip a beat.

"The soul is too unstable. I think he has lost his mind."

"Did you lose your head?"

Wei Xun made room for Yu Hehui to look at him and asked in a funny tone.

"Yes, yes, that's right. Tong Hege is a very loyal and kind person, and he is slow to respond. He blushed and thought about it for a long time, but he could only curse this sentence."

Yu Hehui took a look inside and saw only a burning fire. But he was still satisfied, and he took the initiative to suggest: "Ahem, I think the phoenix fire is a bit lacking. How about adding more?"

"More more? Aren't you afraid of his pain?"

Wei Xun raised his eyebrows and asked: "Besides, the flame ratio is almost stable now. Adding the Phoenix Fire into it will only make the space in his golden elixir larger."

“Isn’t it good to have more space?”

Yu Hehui Zhuangruo blinked innocently: "The most I can do is swallow these spirit snake bones and snake skulls. When I get to Tianshou Mountain the day after tomorrow, if there are any coffins, dragon bones, mausoleums, etc. that I want to swallow, Tong Hege can help."

He was scolding people before he came out, and Wei Xun was being petty. Yu Hehui was secretly worried about Tong Hege.

"Didn't I say before that 'you are enough in the storage space'?"

Wei Xun joked, activating the Phoenix Fire to increase its firepower, then closed the tentacles of the corn shoots, and continued to smolder the Tai Sui Golden Elixir.

When it came to the resurrection of his old teammate, Yu Hehui was a little concerned about gains and losses, and his attitude towards Wei Xun was more upright and supportive. But he adjusted quickly and became normal after a while. He also joked: "After all, I am still a pathfinder as an assassin.

Actually, I don’t show up much. But Tong Hege is different.”

Tong Hege mainly assists in medical treatment and basically stays with the team at the rear, so he is most suitable as a storage space for Wei Xun.

Yu Hehui was serious and responsible, and found the right position for Tong Hege first. At least he would be a useful person to Wei Xun by then.

You can take your time later.

"The fire is almost over now, just keep an eye on it."

After controlling the fire for so long, Wei Xun already wanted to go out and take a look.

"Are you going out alone?"

On the contrary, Yu Hehui frowned first, looked at Wei Xun in embarrassment, then looked at the corn shoots, and made up his mind: "I'll go with you, the corn shoots will be fine here."

"You let a little silly worm watch the heat? You're not afraid of it swallowing Tong Hege."

Wei Xun burst into laughter, patted the big mouth of the corn shoot, and rubbed its tentacles with a mud ball. When the corn shoot opened its tentacles again happily, he took out a portable alchemy furnace that was half a person's height - this was half a life.

One of the rewards given by Taoists.

Wei Xun directed Yu Hehui to mix the mud balls with honey water, and then brushed the mud onto the alchemy furnace, applying a thin layer. The tentacles of the corn shoots here were almost sore, and they hurriedly wrapped Wei Xun's arms with the tentacles.

, eager to try it and want to eat it.

Wei Xun trained the obedience of corn shoots like a dog, counting a hundred before feeding it the alchemy furnace covered in mud.

The corn shoots couldn't wait to swallow it in one gulp, and then——

Corn shoots:??

Ah, this seems a little wrong.

Chewing the corn shoots, they felt that the taste was not right. Yu and Huiguang could feel the confusion of the corn shoots when their tentacles stopped swinging. It felt like they had taken a sugar-coated pill.

"The corn shoots, the tentacles left on the ground turn into the shape of the food you just ate."

Wei Xun ordered, this was the purpose of accepting the half-life Taoist's alchemy furnace.

The tentacles of the corn shoots can deform and imitate the appearance of the things it swallows. The 'false mouth' currently covered with the spirit snake bones is composed of countless tentacles of the corn shoots.

Now the corn shoot tentacles all over the ground are too conspicuous, but if they are completely hidden underground, the refining progress of the elixir cannot be observed in time. Simply let the corn shoot tentacles turn into an alchemy furnace, and you will not be afraid even if outsiders come in.

"Can it even change this?"

Yu and Hui were both surprised when they saw that the tentacles of the corn shoots exposed in the room actually obeyed Wei Xun's orders and turned into the alchemy furnace it had just swallowed.

Originally I thought it could only imitate living things, but if it can even imitate non-living things, then there are so many places that can be used!

"If you cut off the worm, will it grow into two?"

Looking at a golden 'Alchemy Furnace' standing in the middle of the room, Wei Xun's eyes shone with a subtle light.

"No, worms are not magic earthworms."

"What a pity...then can it incorporate some genes from the demonic earthworm?"

Wei Xun patted the alchemy furnace, then took out a spare mountaineering knife from the storage space and stabbed it in. The corn shoots didn't like eating metal, but they still tried to swallow it.

Wei Xun ordered its edge tentacles to turn into long knives that had just been swallowed, and then Wei Xun cut off the 'long knives' and tentatively chopped them. The worm's vitality was extremely strong, and the detached tentacles were not completely dead, but after all,

It is separated from the main body and has no 'brain'. When Wei Xun throws the 'long knife', it can no longer follow Wei Xun's orders and turn back into tentacles to entangle the enemy.

Half an hour later, the 'Long Knife' finally became motionless and returned to its tentacle form.

"It's a pity that the corn shoots grow too fast."

Wei Xun said regretfully and threw the dead tentacles to the corn shoots. It ate them happily and shouted, "It tastes so good!"

The fusion of corn shoots* and Wei Xun's genes is in its infancy. Now that it has entered a period of rapid growth, it will be difficult to genetically add some characteristics of other abyssal creatures to it, but Wei Xun has not given up.

Xiao Cui might have a way, I'll see about it later.

"Tsk, it's almost twelve o'clock."

Liu Yu and Hui looked at the alchemy furnace, and Wei Xun went out for a walk. He first went to Mekel's place to have a look. In the whole morning, their shadow puppets began to take shape.

However, something strange happened this afternoon.

The old housekeeper of the Zhi family disappeared mysteriously.

* *

"Everyone is so unique."

When this incident came out, Wei Xun was staying in Mekel's "territory", and when you look at his "carved shadow", the carved shadow is a carved shadow puppet.

After selecting the leather for processing, he used a pen to trace the pattern on the leather surface, which is called a drawing. After the drawing was completed, he could carve out the shadow puppets. Mekel moved lightly and carved out the most important parts of the head and chest first.

When he was carving the hands of the shadow puppet, he had become so skilled that he could chat with Wei Xun while carving.

"No one wants to cooperate, everyone has their own little ideas."

Mekel was talking about Yuntianhe and October 10th. He saw the two wolves Mia and Augustus getting together to choose a shadow puppet. He also wanted to make a companion, but the three people from the East District of the monster camp were quite different.

The feeling of fighting on their own.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you still have us."

Qing Qi said earnestly, handing the newly carved shadow puppet legs to Mekel with both hands: "Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

A complete shadow puppet figure has eleven pieces from head to toe, namely the head, chest, abdomen, legs, arms, elbows and hands*. These parts are cut and carved separately, and are finally connected after being painted and ironed.

Come together to form a complete shadow puppet.

Mekel did it very quickly. Not only did he do it himself, but he also asked the clever Qing Qi to help him.

"Hey, ancestor, can you give me some advice?"

Over there, Mei Keer inspected Qing Qi's finished product, and over here, the demon Qi Qi Ai Ai approached Wei Xun.

Xiao Hu San's journey along the way has been an eye-opener. He has seen countless sights that he has only heard from the elders of the clan, like legends. Before, he was considered a grandfather in the clan, and he regarded himself as extraordinary. He felt that the new generation of Hu San

The master is definitely one of my own. Only after this trip did I realize what it means to be someone outside the world, and there is a world outside the world.

He was unwilling to maintain the status quo and wanted to improve himself! But the ancestor of Tianhu basically ignored him. Little Hu San was very smart. He never missed a greeting every day, but he never forgot to observe carefully - not only did he observe

It's Yu Hehui, and Bing250's personality preferences.

The ancestor of Tianhu actually recognized him as the master, this person is absolutely extraordinary!

Xiao Hu San had been observing silently, and finally found an opportunity today. Wei Xun was watching Mekel carving shadow puppets, and when his hands felt itchy, Xiao Hu San came over.

He pretended that he didn't know how to do it at all, took out a piece of good green cowhide and asked Bing 250 for help. It was said to be guidance, but in fact it was almost the same as asking Bing 250 to do it himself, which was just enough for him to get through.

The addiction of making shadow puppets with your own hands.

Sure enough, Wei Xun was very interested and was very happy with the 'pointing out'. Instead of making a shadow puppet, he used the cowhide to cut a firebird, which was divided into five parts: head, wings, body and legs.

If you want to do it yourself, do it yourself. If you are too lazy to do it, Xiao Hu San will do it for you. Wei Xun spent this half afternoon very happily.

"You didn't meet them when you were stealing paper people this morning?"

He handed the firebird wings to Xiao Hu San and asked him to continue. Wei Xun looked at Mekel and saw that he had carved his hands and had already begun to carve the arms of the shadow puppet. However, the 'shadow puppet' in his hands was not the normal color.

, turned out to be a pale paper color.

That’s right, the ‘shadow puppets’ carved by Mekel are not made of cowhide and donkey skin, but paper figures!

The project of making shadow puppets by hand is indeed more difficult for the monster camp in the brigade. The difficulty lies in the fact that the puppets required are human shadow puppets.

Normally, shadow puppets are said to be 'donkey shadow puppets' or 'cow hide puppets', while human shadow puppets can be understood as either human-shaped shadow puppets or shadow puppets made of human skin - but Bing 250 said when announcing the attractions

As we all know, human shadow puppets are shadow puppets made of human skin.'

Obviously what the hotel wants them to do is the latter. Kill tourists from the opposite camp and skin them to make shadow puppets.

The problem is that it’s really hard to choose. Indeed, both the white werewolves Orion and Yun Lianghan in the Taoist camp can be killed (Yun Lianghan:??), but Orion is a werewolf in his own body, so if he wants to be skinned, he is considered a human being.

Skin or wolf skin?

Yun Lianghan at least hates the West District and will never cooperate with the West District. If he is killed, the monster camp will have an advantage. In the case of a suspected confrontation mission, Mekel will basically not kill people from the East District.

Except for the brigade, there are no "people" in this underground palace.

The quality of the shadow puppets made affects the score of one's own camp. Mekel had an idea and directly chose to use paper figures to make shadow puppets.

This paper figure also has a personal character on it, and it does not need to be cut to form a human shape. You only need to remove the bamboo strips that serve as the skeleton in the body, flatten the paper figure, and cut out each part, and you will have a natural "shadow puppet".

That's why Mekel moved so quickly.

The best thing is that there is a soul in this paper man, and it is a natural soul shadow puppet. Once it is made, it can directly bring extra points to the camp.

"I didn't see them, maybe I went early - Ah Zhi!"

As he was speaking, Mekel suddenly sneezed loudly. He wrinkled his nose, his expression was subtle, and he fell into thinking for a moment.

"Tsk, I don't think it's good - Director B, I'm leaving first!"

Mekel was in a hurry. He quickly put away his shadow puppets, said hello, and immediately ran away with Qing Qi and the others. It only took five seconds from sneezing to the moment the cat disappeared. But

Just two seconds after Mekel left, his door was violently kicked open.

"Escape, within five seconds."

The person who led people into the room turned out to be Zhou Xiyang! He nodded to Wei Xun, then seriously put on a pair of explosion-proof glasses, casually scanned the ground, and then reported the accurate time.

"Can't run far, chase."

"yes!"

The voice that answered him was messy and high-pitched. Wei Xun took a look and found that the people standing behind Zhou Xiyang were actually paper figures. These paper figures were staring at him with deep eyes and hostility. They seemed to be about to pounce on him if he wasn't paying attention.

It was Zhou Xiyang's order that these paper men continued to track Mekel before leaving.

"Director Cui, please go back to your room first. It's not safe here."

"What happened?"

Wei Xun asked.

"The old housekeeper of the Zhi family disappeared, and the mourners were shocked and angry. Zhi Kuikui discovered that the only person who stole the paper people today was Mekel."

Zhou Xiyang said briefly: Zhi Kuikui is the granddaughter of the Zhi family.

"oh?"

Wei Xun raised his eyebrows. He had not received any notification from the hotel. Obviously, the disappearance of the old housekeeper of the Zhi family should be an unexpected mission for tourists. It did not involve a tour guide and would not affect the attraction projects.

But the only suspect was Mekel, which gave him an unusual feeling.

"The entire underground palace is going to be searched?"

Wei Xun seemed to see a few bat demons in the paper man team.

"right."

Zhou Xiyang said calmly: "Old Mrs. Bai used the excuse to help the paper man find the missing people, and took the opportunity to search the rooms where the passengers were temporarily staying."

Old lady Bai and her demon diggers couldn't find the monster that stole half of the spirit snake bone. The only thing they haven't checked now are the rooms of the passengers and the tour guide. It's normal for her to think about this, after all, the brigade has no

Everything seemed normal when we arrived, but as soon as the brigade arrived, old lady Bai was in bad luck.

How do you think it has anything to do with the brigade?

When Zhou Xiyang spoke, he paid attention to Bing250's expression as a professional habit. Even though all the evidence seemed to point to the monster being the Devourer's slime, he somehow still suspected that the monster was related to Bing250.

"They haven't faced off against the Devourer for so long?"

But Wei Xun's expression didn't show any abnormality, and his tone was a little regretful: "It's really useless."

It's really useless, I can't even find any corn shoots.

Of course, the corn shoots that are more than ten meters long cannot be hidden only in Wei Xun's house. Its huge body extends from the underground palace to Xiaotang Mountain outside the underground palace. But the abyss worm is a born master of hiding, and it can sense even the faintest through the rock soil.

A vibration like falling snowflakes.

There were not enough demons under Old Madam Bai to search the entire Xiaotang Mountain, nor could they explore the room of the tourist guide, so they actually let the corn shoots hide.

But Wei Xun still felt that Mrs. Bai's reaction was a bit strange - last night, October 10th just said that she would track down the monster, and no one should interfere with her. Old Mrs. Bai was happy to see the results, and also expressed her close attitude towards October 10th, so

At the very least, we should wait patiently and see if there are any results on October 10th.

We shouldn't be in such a hurry. We would rather offend the entire brigade than risk exploring everyone's rooms this afternoon.

There is definitely some information in this that he doesn't know.

"When did the old housekeeper of the Zhi family disappear? No clues were left at the scene?"

"Bai Xiaotian was the first to find out that he disappeared during the wake at noon today."

Zhou Xiyang knew that Bing 250 was very sensitive, so he was not surprised that he directly asked the key points.

Now that the camps were completely divided, the vigil for the coffin could not be stopped. Zhou Xiyang rearranged the group, and the vigil personnel were divided into three groups of six people, including five passengers and the old housekeeper of the Zhi family, and worked in three shifts.

It was Bai Xiaotian who was keeping vigil with the old housekeeper of the Zhi family.

In fact, this cooperation is a bit top-heavy. Zhou Xiyang and O'Lian are in a team, and Taoist Half Life and Yun Lianghan are in a team. One is strong and the other is weak. Only Bai Xiaotian and the old housekeeper of the Zhi family are not strong, so they are considered a weak team.

But the underground monster was the first to attack Bai Xiaotian, which made Zhou Xiyang suspect that Bai Xiaotian was the person who came in with hidden strength. It was not possible to tell who was behind it for the time being. But in any case, Bai Xiaotian's strength should not be bad.

This time when the shift was changing at noon, Bai Xiaotian discovered that the old housekeeper of the Zhi family did not arrive on time, so he discovered that he was missing.

"There are clues, but they were put away by Zhi Kui Kui."

Zhou Xiyang frowned: "Bai Xiaotian said that it was the index finger of the old housekeeper of the Zhi family."

"It is densely covered with black threads like spider webs."

* *

"Is there chaos outside?"

When Wei Xun returned to the house, Yu Hehui came to greet him and wrote lightly: "There were a few little demons who tried to break into the house and they were eaten by me."

These little monsters who are wandering around are probably here to test Tianhu's attitude. If he shows the slightest bit of soft-heartedness, then I'm afraid the ones who come next will not be little monsters."

"The old housekeeper of the Zhi family disappeared, and Mrs. Bai took the opportunity to thoroughly investigate the entire underground palace."

Wei Xun briefly talked about this matter with Yu Hehui, and walked to the 'alchemy furnace' to observe. The originally golden alchemy furnace had turned into a low-key and simple 'bronze-colored' alchemy furnace under Yu Hehui's hard work.

When Wei Xun came back, the entire 'Alchemy Furnace' almost stood up from the ground with joy, with undyed golden edges exposed where it touched the ground.

"Go down."

Wei Xun pressed the corn shoots back.

"It's half past four now, and the golden elixir will be ready in half an hour."

Yu Hehui is full of expectations: "By then you will be able to collect the corn shoots into the magic insect ball."

For such a large-scale search, it would be safest to hide the corn shoots in the Devil's Insect Ball.

"Is Mrs. Bai really looking for corn shoots?"

Wei Xun thought thoughtfully: "I don't think so."

As he had speculated before, if she was just looking for corn shoots, Old Mrs. Bai would be too hasty.

"Perhaps Zhikuikui and Mrs. Bai reached some agreement?"

Yu Hehui thought about it carefully. As an experienced traveler, he is accustomed to digging deeper from the journey itself and important NPCs.

"The old housekeeper of the Zhi family is serving Zhi Kuikui in addition to keeping vigil. But his disappearance was discovered by Bai Xiaotian first. This is very abnormal."

Especially when Zhi Kuikui put away the severed finger of the old housekeeper of the Zhi family, only Bai Xiaotian had seen it.

"The old housekeeper of the Zhi family is the least defensive about Zhi Kuikui. If it was Zhi Kuikui who took action, it would make sense."

Yu Hehui said softly: "And do you remember, the puppet master is very likely to have sneaked into this journey."

Yun Tianhe was suddenly controlled. Although the puppet strings on his body may have been secretly buried in his body by the puppet master. But if you want to activate and control them, the puppet master or her puppet strings must have been hidden in this journey.

"You think that thin black thread might be a puppet thread?"

"right."

Yu Hehui is talking about the black silk thread wrapped around the severed finger.

"Zhi Kuikui may have been parasitized by the puppet master's puppet thread, and she was the one who made the old housekeeper of the Zhi family disappear. The purpose is to make the entire journey chaotic, and by cooperating with Mrs. Bai, the goal must be greater interests-"

Yu Hehui murmured and suddenly frowned: "Do you think she wanted to weaken the devil merchant by disrupting this attraction?"

A thorough search of the rooms of all tour guides and tourists may not be to target Bing 250, but to target the devil merchant. During the chaos last night, the devil merchant took advantage of the chaos to collect many monster corpses and even live monsters, including old lady Bai's men. Skinning

Sir's influence will make him skin all these monsters.

If the skinning scene is discovered by Old Lady Bai and others, it will definitely arouse the disgust and hostility of these old monsters.

"Maybe she also wants a share of the pie..."

Whether it is to enhance the influence of the Shepherd Alliance or to strengthen his own power in the East District, the Puppet Master must be in a hurry at the moment. The new tour guide Xinxing is from the Butcher Alliance, and her 'ally' Dream Chaser is very close to this little tour guide

, the puppet master will definitely do something when he sees this.

Yun Tianhe was her first step of testing, and now it may be her second step of testing.

"After all, she is also the tour guide of this ten-year cycle, and she has to go to the battlefield after the year-end celebrations."

Yu Hehui thinks this makes sense.

"Maybe there's a puppet master here who's adding fuel to the fire."

Wei Xun was noncommittal. He stood thoughtfully beside the alchemy furnace: "Did Bailu say before that if you find the mountain man, you can send a message to the ginseng spirit to make the ginseng nest appear?"

"right."

"That is to say, the spirits and Polygonum multiflorum are related to each other - that is to say, the three spirits scattered by Tong Hege can communicate with each other?"

"That's how it should be."

Yu Hehui is more optimistic: "After refining the Tai Sui Golden Pill, we can go through it to find Ginseng Jing and Shan Weng."

Wei Xun's expression was a bit subtle. He curled up his index finger, tapped the alchemy furnace, and listened. The corn shoots immediately raised a tentacle in recognition of the situation. Wei Xun heard that Tai Sui, who was burned by the fire, was still muttering feebly, what a 'little deflated calf'

'Little idiot' 'Hey, if you can't burn it to death, then you can't burn it to death, is it awesome or not?'.

"He talks a lot, and his IQ is not high. He may have been sorted out."

Wei Xun said harshly and raised his eyebrows: "Do you think it would be frightened and scream when it was first burned, shouting 'I'm going to be burned to death!!' and then say some last words to other good brothers.

, such as 'The one who burned me is Bing 250!'? Then ask the brothers to avenge him?"

"Haha, probably not."

Yu Hehui smiled a little awkwardly.

"You said that Tong Hege is the most loyal person, so Lingshen and Polygonum multiflorum must also be very loyal, and they will definitely come to save their brothers."

Wei Xun smiled slowly, but Yu Hehui felt that his smile was full of evil. Even the corn shoots trembled, and the entire alchemy furnace shrank to the ground, squatting down in a neat manner.

"Is the black thread wrapped around the severed finger of the old housekeeper of the Zhi family really puppet thread?"

Wei Xun said thoughtfully: "Tell me, could it be hair?"

* *

The fleece-flower root essence she imprisoned actually escaped and even captured an old paper man as a hostage!!

Old Mrs. Bai almost went crazy. She led a group of little demons through the underground palace in a menacing manner, holding half of a dark-brown human-shaped tuber tightly in her hand. A blood-like black liquid kept dripping from the broken part of the tuber. In order to escape, the mountain man actually

He cruelly broke his original body!

Old Mrs. Bai captured the mountain mango to use the connection between it and the spiritual ginseng to find the spiritual ginseng. She even deliberately reduced the number of guards, just to let the mango escape and follow it to find the spiritual ginseng.

- But the mountain man was extremely cunning and didn't make any movement at all.

When it escaped today, it cruelly broke off its original body. The part secretly marked by Mrs. Bai still remained, and only the other half escaped. This way Mrs. Bai didn't notice it for a while!

And what was wrapped around the missing paper man’s severed finger was the mountain man’s hair! This was a bright mark!

A thorough investigation of the underground palace was not only to find the monster, but also to capture Mekel, the only one who had ever stolen a paper figurine, and to recover the mountain man. Unfortunately, Mekel, the civet cat demon, escaped too fast, and the old lady Bai did not catch any clues.

.At this moment, she was anxious and annoyed. Not only was she anxious to escape from Polygonum multiflorum, but she also thought that Polygonum multiflorum's behavior was definitely abnormal.

Shan Weng and Ling Shen sense each other, and it most likely ran away because Ling Shen was in danger!

Could it be that the spirit snake bones are really filled with spiritual ginseng? Although the possibility is extremely low, Mrs. Bai is not ready to let go of any possibility now!

"Why is the blood here so strong? Search it for me!"

If you can't find Mekel, you can just look for the monster! The monster was injured last night, even though it didn't seem to have any blood, but it was so angry that the old lady Bai didn't let go of any clues. She was so aggressive that she couldn't listen to anything at all.

He stepped back even a little bit, even threatened Zhou Xiyang, and refused to listen to his dissuasion at all.

After a few breaths, Old Mrs. Bai followed her blood energy and opened the door of a side hall somewhere.
Chapter completed!
