Liu Zhida came to the basement with a painful expression, holding his stomach. He walked to Li Minghao, squatted down and said: "When we came here before, we found that Xiao Zhanqiang had turned into a white skeleton, and there seemed to be some kind of creature on the bones.

The bite marks and bones have now been taken for examination, and the results will not be available until tomorrow morning at the earliest."

Li Minghao frowned and asked, "You mean, there are traces of bites on Xiao Zhanqiang's bones?"

"I also saw the bite marks on Xiao Zhanqiang's bones with my own eyes. It looked like he had been bitten by some ferocious beast, but there was no sign of any ferocious beast destroying the doors or windows and invading the house." Liu Zhida replied, he was curious about Li

Why does Minghao care about the bite marks? Isn't this a job for a man?

At this time, Li Minghao remembered the last story the old man told him on the ghost ship. In the story, the mermaid girl Xiaohai went berserk and ate the black-hearted governor. He originally thought that these were all made up by the old man.

, but since the ghost ship arrived here, he realized that what the old man said was true, but he didn't know why the old man told him this.

"Can you describe to me what the scene looked like when you came here, and let's recreate the scene." After thinking for a moment, he couldn't figure out what the old man wanted to do. He sighed softly and turned to ask Liu Zhida.

Liu Zhida nodded, held his stomach for a while and now felt more comfortable. He stood up slowly, walked slowly to the green liquid, pointed there and said: "When we came in, there was a long bar here.

The glass cabinet is quite large. This cabinet is filled with green liquid, which is the same as what we saw in the underground laboratory before."

"At that time, Xiao Zhanqiang's body was soaked in this green liquid, with his head facing down, and there was basically no good spot on his body. Compared to the murderer, there were two more things that made me curious. First, the wounds on his body

Although there is a lot of blood, there is not a trace of blood, which is abnormal. Secondly, when we found him, he

He was naked, and his clothes were thrown on the ground. We took a look at the clothes and there were no tears, which means that he took off his clothes by himself or someone took them off for him."

As he spoke, Liu Zhida pointed to the place where Xiao Zhanqiang's clothes were before, which is where Li Minghao is squatting now.

Li Minghao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the ground he stepped on had originally held Xiao Zhanqiang's clothes. He frowned and said, "Then there must be a second or even a third person in this basement. Do you have any?"

Find any useful clues."

Liu Zhida shook his head: "No, this basement is clean. Except for Xiao Zhanqiang's own footprints, there are no other people's footprints. This is the third strange place."

"This is getting more and more interesting. Let's go back." Li Minghao smiled and stood up. There are no clues here anymore, so there is no need to stay here any longer.

"Okay." Just like that, the two of them left Xiao Zhanqiang's home and went outside. Liu Zhida instinctively stayed away from Li Minghao. After all, he didn't want to experience the pain before again.

Seeing his scared look, Li Minghao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't fly with you. Let's take a taxi. By the way, are you hungry now?"

"It's better if you don't tell me. But when you say it, I'm really a little hungry. I exercised too much before, and I was cold because of the cold. Now there's nothing in my stomach." Liu Zhida touched his stomach and said, now he

There was a growling sound in my stomach again, but this time it was from hunger.

"Let's go, I'll take you something to eat. I'm hungry after flying for a long time." Li Minghao smiled, waved and stopped the approaching taxi.

A quarter of an hour later, the two of them were sitting in a noodle shop not far away. Liu Zhida looked at the slightly crude decoration of the noodle shop, smacked his lips and asked in a low voice: "Minghao, it's not like you don't have money, how can you bring it with you?"

If I come to eat noodles, I’d rather come to a small noodle shop like this."

Li Minghao shook his head: "You've caught a cold, and you can't enjoy anything else now. There is noodle soup for noodles. Drinking some while it's hot is good for your stomach. If you want to eat something good, wait until your stomach heals. I'll

Treat you to a big meal."

"This is what you said, don't go back on it." After Li Minghao said this, Liu Zhida was satisfied.

"I won't regret it." Li Minghao sighed softly, took the noodles from the boss's hand, and said thank you.

While Li Minghao was mixing the noodles, Liu Zhida came up to him and lowered his voice and asked: "By the way, Minghao, tell me what you experienced on the ghost ship. I'm telling you, if you don't tell me, I'll feel sorry for you."

It's itchy, I can't eat this meal." As he spoke, the boss brought Liu Zhida's noodles. After Liu Zhida thanked the boss, he didn't start in a hurry, but kept staring at Li Minghao.

Really unable to stand the expectant look in Liu Zhida's eyes, Li Minghao had no choice but to tell him everything he had experienced on the boat, including how he met the old man, in order to avoid Liu Zhida having a meal.

I kept asking endless questions there.

But he seemed to think a little simpler. After hearing this, Liu Zhida not only did not eat well, but asked more questions. Barabala asked a lot of questions: "Minghao, how did you say this old man got up to that strange rock? Could it be that he

Are you also a practitioner? And, then

Why did the old man go to the shore to fish? Wouldn't it be better for him to fish in the sea? His boat floated so far, how did he get back before? It couldn't be by boat, right? By the way, you said someone opened the door, you said

Could it be Emperor Jianwen? Oh, why are you hitting me?"

Li Minghao really couldn't stand this talkative man, so he hit him on the head with a chopstick: "Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep, eat well, and talk about it later." After that, Li Minghao stopped talking to him and lowered his head to eat.

Got the noodles.

Liu Zhida pouted aggrievedly, snorted, picked up the noodles in the bowl with his chopsticks, and put it into his mouth.

A quarter of an hour later, the two finished eating the noodles, paid and left the noodle shop and walked slowly towards the branch.

On the way, Li Minghao suddenly said: "Your previous question reminded me that the old man was fishing there today just waiting for me, because he knew that I would definitely arrive at that place around that time today."

Liu Zhida frowned: "Who has such great ability to predict that you will definitely go to that place at that time today? What you said is a bit outrageous."

Li Minghao shook his head: "It's not outrageous at all. In the world of spiritual practice, there are not only simple cultivators of immortality, but also Taoist doctors who treat illnesses and save lives, warlocks who are proficient in magic, Feng Shui masters who understand Feng Shui, and physiognomists who can distinguish good and bad luck by looking at faces.

Master. If you pick one out of these, as long as you learn it to the extreme, you can be on par with the gods. It is no problem for a magician to calculate a person's whereabouts throughout the day."

"So scary?" Liu Zhida was shocked. He would have to avoid provoking people less in the future. If the other party was a person who learned these five disciplines, he would probably be able to leave no trace behind.

Li Minghao smiled slightly: "You don't have to be afraid. There are very few such people now, and most of them are in a state of seclusion. You are not so unlucky to encounter them. But my senior brothers, you'd better have a good relationship with them, otherwise

At that time, you may go back and be carried to Zhenhaiyan."

"So cruel?" Liu Zhida's eyelids twitched wildly, it seems that these people will be the masters in the future.

"Fortunately, my senior brothers are actually quite kind. By the way, where are they? Are they still in the hospital?"

Liu Zhida shook his head: "After Xiao Zhanqiang died, we had the greatest authority in the entire Jianye City, so we took over most of the affairs of the branch. After leaving Xiao Zhanqiang's house in the afternoon, I asked people to take them all to live in the branch.

Down here, they can calm down and cultivate themselves."

Li Minghao patted Liu Zhida on the shoulder: "Well done."

To put it briefly, after the two returned to the branch, they met with a few other people and briefly described what they saw and heard on the ghost ship. Without exception, everyone was surprised and at the same time, they were also surprised.

During the trip to the South China Sea, I was worried. If I encountered ghost ships and sharks in the water, those with cultivation would be fine, but those ordinary people would be in danger.

Tang Chao thought for a moment and said: "This time we will be divided into two groups. The first group will go into the water, and the second group will be on standby on the shore. If there is anything abnormal, rescue will be launched immediately. Wanchuan Xuance, you two

Join Xie Gaoqiang and Ma Dong on the shore to support us, Zhida Minghao, I will go into the water with you."

"Brother, I'm really worried about the three of you going down. Why don't I go down with you? I can handle it if I leave Wanchuan alone." Tang Xuance said that Tang Xuance could let his brother go into the water alone.

After that, he said quickly before anyone could express their opinions.

Seeing what Tang Xuance said, Wu Wanchuan was unconvinced and shouted to go down: "If they want to go, I will go down with them. If you stay up there, if we encounter any danger, you can save us with your high cultivation level."

Tang Chao frowned slightly, obviously a little angry. When the two of them saw Tang Chao's eyebrows, they almost knitted into a ball and quickly shut their mouths.

"None of you need to go down. It's enough for the three of us to go down. If something happens, you two can save people faster. That's it. No more changes. It's getting late. Let's all go back.

Go to bed." After that, Tang Chao got up and left the small conference room. The remaining people looked at each other, shook their heads, got up and went back to their respective rooms.

The bed in the room was quite soft, and the air conditioning temperature was just right. He was exhausted today, but he couldn't fall asleep for a long time while lying on the bed.

Closing his eyes, those speculations and doubts popped out of his mind one by one. After thinking about this question for a while, he immediately jumped to another question. After going back and forth for a while, Li Minghao's mind became confused.

Li Minghao shouted and sat up, turned off the air conditioner, picked up the Tang Dao, opened the window and flew over.

The wind howled, and the buildings on both sides continued to retreat and gradually became shorter. Finally, there was an empty space in front of us, and all we could see was boundless darkness.

He came to the beach, sat on the beach and looked at the dark sea, enjoying the cool sea breeze. Li Minghao's mind was temporarily relaxed.

Taking a deep breath, Li Minghao lay on the beach and looked at the starry sky above.

Since leaving the school, he has never had the opportunity to look at the starry sky so leisurely. He is bound by the world, troubled by the various small reports of the special office every day, running around for Jiuding and Shanhaitu,

He still might not know that one day he will be in danger of his life. This world is so different from what he thought. When all these things are over, he will take Shen Jun and his children to leave and go to Bagua Village to spend their time leisurely.

Live the rest of your life.

As he thought about it, he laughed, as if he could see the pastoral life he would lead in the near future.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a light on the mountain in the distance. Driven by curiosity, he got up and walked slowly towards the mountain.

When he was relaxing at the beach and imagining his future life, outside the Forbidden City and beside Ziwei Mountain, the two people walked slowly to the path up the mountain. They looked around and saw no one around, so they walked up the mountain.

Mountain.

One of the two people was wearing a black robe, with long hair shawl, humming a tune, and holding a jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine in his hand. The other was wearing a bright red dress, holding a sword in his arms, and had a stern face.

, stern and unsmiling, in sharp contrast to that one.

These two people were Jiulong and Xiao Jiujian. Jiulong got drunk in Jizhou yesterday. The next morning, Xiao Jiujian had already woken up before Xiao Jiujian woke up. He pulled Xiao Jiujian, who was still a little confused, and went up.

After a day of walking along the road, the two finally arrived at Ziwei Mountain at night.

"I don't understand you. You can get to the Forbidden City in half a day, so why did you waste four or five days by walking? And you've already arrived at the Forbidden City, why don't you go in?" Xiao Jiujian walked halfway.

I couldn't help but ask, Jiulong's behavior this time was so abnormal.

After Jiulong took a sip of wine, he stopped and turned around and walked in front of Xiao Jiujian. A smell of alcohol hit his face. Xiao Jiujian frowned slightly and covered his mouth and nose.

I saw Jiulong laughing loudly and saying: "You don't know this. We came too early, but we had to wait for a long time. Now that we are here, we only need to wait one night, and those people will arrive. Then we will pretend

Their people sneaked into the Forbidden City without anyone noticing."

"With your ability, entering the Forbidden City is as easy as entering your own backyard, why do you have to take so much trouble?" Xiao Jiujian was puzzled.

"It is easy to enter the Forbidden City, but what we are going to enter this time is the altar near the Forbidden City. It is said that there are great practitioners there. If we are not careful, we will face attacks from more than just practitioners.

, there may be artillery shells. You follow me

Tell me, throughout the ages, which cultivator can physically carry a cannonball?" Jiulong said while poking Xiao Jiujian's shoulder crazily with his fingers. Jiulong drank a little too much, so his strength was also much greater. Xiao Jiujian's

His brows gradually turned into a knot.
