Huo Zhixing also disguised himself as Huo Zhizhi to get close to Wu Xiaoxie and the others to get information.
Because the jade ring on Mrs. Huo’s body is no longer there.
That ring is almost equivalent to the seal of the head of the family. It is a key. The most central secrets of the Huo family are hidden somewhere.
There are only two keys, one is in Huo Xiuxiu's hand, but Huo Xiuxiu herself has been hidden under the arrangement of Huo Xiangu, so they can't find it, so they have no way to start. The other one is the one in the hand of Mrs. Huo, but it is already gone.
Disappeared.
Huo Youxue and the others felt that the disappearance of the ring must have something to do with Wu Xiaoxie, Jie Yuchen and others, but without evidence, they did not dare to openly question Jie Yuchen. They did not have the courage, and Jie Yuchen could not be left to their own devices.
The soft persimmon.
And Huo Zhixing also said that a few days after arriving in Banai, the ring on Huo Xiangu's hand disappeared, so they could only start with Wu Xiaoxie and the others.
But as soon as Huo Zhixing got closer, no matter how much he pretended to look like, he was still exposed by the little brother.
Jie Yuchen always kept Zhang Zhuxun's last warning in mind, so he cooperated with his younger brother and secretly removed Mrs. Huo's body and destroyed it.
The missing Huo Xiaojiu left Banai with his people and took the ashes of Mrs. Huo to find Huo Xiuxiu.
After all the water in the cave was drained, Wu Xiaoxie and the others worked almost all night long to excavate the road.
It was unrealistic to remove all the rubble inside, so they could only temporarily dig out a passage and use tools to prop it up.
The younger brother asked Wu Xiaoxie and the others to stay outside while he went into the passage to find someone.
But after entering, he found nothing except a little blood stain on the ground that had been washed by water.
A large area in the cave pool was buried by collapsed rocks. The pool was connected to the underground river in the mountain. He searched for a long time but could not find Zhang Zhuxun. There was no trace, no body, nothing. p>
They think it is very likely that the cave was washed away by water after it collapsed. The underground rivers in Banai extend in all directions, making it impossible to find them.
Wu Xiaoxie and the others fell into despair again. They couldn't find Muyu's body. They couldn't even do the most basic task of collecting the body.
During this time, Wu Xiaoxie put on Wu Sanye's mask again, temporarily stabilizing these minions on the surface.
Under the cover of Jie Yuchen and others, the inquirers had no way to confirm whether the Wu Sansheng who came out of the Zhangjia Ancient Building was real, so the Bastard Qiu and the others in Changsha Tangkou were still in the stage of getting ready to go.<
/p>
No trace of the third master was found in the ancient building, so Pan Zi could only take his people back to Changsha immediately, and in the name of "Wu Sanye", he temporarily stabilized the hall. Xie Yuchen also sent his own people to assist. p>
Wu Xiaoxie once asked Jie Yuchen if he had any of his men pretend to be "Wu Xie" to cooperate with Jude Kao.
But Xie Yuchen said that he only had masked people living in Wushan, so it is impossible to find out who the "Wu Xie" who played tricks on Wu Xiaoxie and Fatty on the mountain was.
Because none of the teams Jude Kao sent in came out, Huo Youxue and Hodolf also sent people in through the sealed door, but they were all trapped and died inside. Several corpses ended up in the exposed jade veins between the rock crevices.
Found.
Why did the subordinate who escaped from the ancient building show such an expression of surprise or even horror after seeing his mask? Could it be that the third uncle was also in the ancient building at that time?
This is even the key reason why Pan Zi broke away from the plan and traveled alone in the Jade Vein.
"Third uncle, third uncle." Wu Xiaoxie said in his heart that he would be lying if he said he didn't complain, "You old man is really harmful to others."
You cheated your nephew and cheated Pan Zi, but now it’s better, even your nephew’s good brother has been cheated.
After waiting for a long time in disappointment and anxiety, the guys from Jie's family hurriedly hurried and finally sent the box up the mountain.
"Open it quickly and take a look. What's inside?" the fat man said anxiously.
The box is one and a half palms long, and its width is half its length. It is made of pure Brazilian white wood. The pattern carved on it is a very delicate pattern composed of a fusion of five-petal flowers and carps. Judging by the handiwork, this box is made of wooden fish. I don’t know when.
Carved by hand.
As soon as he saw the box, a strange emotion flashed across the boy's eyes, but he said nothing.
There is a machine lock set on the edge of the box lid, which is a combination of a combination lock and a machine hinge.
The password is easy to find, 0912. The lock cover on the first floor is opened, but Wu Xiaoxie is stumped by the mechanism hub inside. It is a thumb-sized sphere with strange patterns and eight-sided star grooves. The key is that the inside is facing
The raised texture inside is difficult to replicate.
The fat man comforted him, "If you think about it carefully, since Muyu left the box to you, he must have thought that you could open the box."
"But apart from this box, Muyu didn't give me anything else..." Wu Xiaoxie said, and suddenly remembered something.
He immediately pulled out a chain from his neck, with an octagonal silver dart-shaped pendant hanging on it.
This pendant was packed with the letter in the courier box that was delivered to Muyu before he went to Yunding Heavenly Palace last time.
The essence of this thing is actually a small bomb, but its power is not as powerful as other octagonal silver darts.
Wu Xiaoxie took off the pendant and gestured at the groove. He found that it was a bit too big, and he was immediately disappointed, "This is not the case either."
The little brother next to him suddenly took the pendant from his hand, pinched it with his fingers and twisted it a few times.
Before Wu Xiaoxie and the others could see how it was done, the eight horns and the silver dart shell had been opened, flipped and folded to the back, revealing the complex patterns inside, and the small explosive balls inside were poured out and opened separately.<
/p>
Then the little brother picked up the box, brought the folded octagonal silver dart to the groove again, and inserted it in one go.
"Damn it, it's open. I have some tricks up my sleeve. Take a look at what's inside?"
With a click, the lid of the box popped open, and the contents inside came into view.
In the top compartment is a USB flash drive with a silver casing.
Wu Xiaoxie was a little hesitant. Now that he saw this kind of similar storage device, he felt a little scared in his heart. He was very afraid of seeing the last words Muyu left for them.
The fat man couldn't wait any longer. He stretched out his hand and took out the USB flash drive and said to Xie Yuchen: "Dahua, let me lend you your computer."
"It's a blessing, not a curse. We can't avoid it. Since this is the last thing Muyu left us, we have to look at it. Maybe we can find the reason for Muyu's accident."
The fat man said calmly, "I don't believe Muyu will drown in the water because of excessive blood loss. Has he lost too much blood often? My brother also said that the Zhang family's training methods include bloodletting.
In training, you have to see people live and die, and you have to see their corpses. Before I find his body, I won’t believe it even if the King of Heaven comes."
Jie Yuchen walked out of the tent and said something to the guy guarding the door, and the guy immediately brought back a spare computer.
Xie Yuchen asked his men to guard outside the tent and not let anyone approach during this period.
The waiter was ordered to leave, and the Jie family's cronies surrounded the tent to ensure that not a single fly could fly in.
Fatty plugged in the USB flash drive, and Wu Xiaoxie operated the mouse to quickly call up the video files inside.
Click on the first video, and the picture inside is very clear. Looking at the layout of the room, it is Muyu’s house in Hangzhou. What you can see is a row of shelves with various wooden sculptures in Muyu’s room.
Muyu likes to make these little things on weekdays, carving all kinds of flowers, plants and small animals. The most common thing he carves is the four of them, whose expressions are very lifelike.
The camera quickly moved down and illuminated the desk.
As soon as the familiar figure of Muyu appeared, Wu Xiaoxie almost burst into tears. She turned to look at the fat man and found that he was also secretly wiping the corners of his eyes.
Muyu is sitting at the desk, holding a small carving knife in his hand, and is carving patterns on a box. What he is carving is the box in front of Wu Xiaoxie and the others.
The rustling fine wood chips kept falling on the table, and the wooden fish was carved very carefully. The afternoon sunset shone through the window lattice on his side face and body, creating a warm mist-like light, and time seemed to return to that period of time.
A quiet day.
After carving for about half a minute, Muyu raised his head and smiled lightly at the camera.
"...I thought I had a lot to say, but when it came time to actually leave a message, I didn't know where to start."
"Let me talk about the old-fashioned opening remarks first, little brother, naive, fat man, when you actually receive this box, it means that something has happened to me."
"I don't know what concept to use to describe this accident."
"Maybe it's death, maybe it's being taken somewhere, or maybe it's completely disappeared."
"This result was caused by my attempt to change some originally planned, very bad endings and to fight against some... unknown forces."
"Before saying what follows, you must consider whether you really know these things."
"Because after knowing these things, you will also be targeted."
"This will put you in endless danger, and the result is that you are just like me."
The first video ends and the computer screen goes dark.
Wu Xiaoxie's hand holding the mouse felt a little cold. He took back his hands and pinched each other hard. He looked at the little brother and the fat man, both of whom had ugly expressions.
"Now it can be confirmed that something happened to Muyu, and he had premeditated his accident."
"An unknown force is eyeing him. Whether this force is related to the existence that Granny Huo has always been afraid of remains to be discussed."
Wu Xiaoxie's eyes were a little calmer, and the tenderness in his eyes completely faded away at this moment. Wearing that mask, he really looked more and more like the Third Master.
A look of thought flashed across Xie Yuchen's face, "Do you want to continue reading? Wu Xie, there is a high probability that you will not be able to face what happens next."
"Even the Zhang family cannot fight back in the face of such danger. Are you sure you want to continue to know?"
"Look, of course!" Wu Xiaoxie stared at the screen closely, "We must know what Muyu did and what the 'predetermined ending' he said was, so that we can deduce the true cause of his accident.
Reason."
"Yes, you must watch it. Our brother cannot die in vain." Fatty agreed in a low voice, "I know Muyu. He is not the kind of person who exaggerates and is alarmist. The only way to make him make such a sacrifice is
It has something to do with the three of us."
"Judging from the current situation, it is even related to Pan Zi. The key to changing the 'predetermined ending' he said is probably Pan Zi's life. He can't let Pan Zi die in the ancient building, so he
That’s why I will do whatever it takes to save Pan Zi.”
"Or, the 'very bad' ending he mentioned is probably... something happened to us all in the ancient building."
"He is exchanging his own life for ours."
The fat man's words were resounding, hitting the hearts of everyone present like a heavy hammer.
Xie Yuchen's expression also changed, "You mean, the outcome of those of us is probably to die in the Zhang family ancient building?"
The fat man snorted coldly, "Without the map given by Muyu, you and your men would never have been able to get out of the ancient building. What the Freak said is true, because there were too many people eating it, the demonic building was already alive.
”
"Why do you think he would give you blood? You can't even imagine how valuable he is and your little brother's blood. But just because you are an innocent child and the head of the Jiumen Jie family. The third master is not here. You are innocent."
You know how difficult it is to deal with those old bastards alone."
"That's why he took action to save you, both to lure away danger and to bleed. Didn't you see with your own eyes what happened to Pan Zi's guy? Without that blood, you would not even have any scum left." p>
Jie Yuchen stared at the fat man coldly, "Do you mean to tie me up with you?"
The fat man chuckled and was about to speak when he was stopped by Wu Xiaoxie, "Fat man, stop talking. The Huo family is also in a mess now. Xiaohua still has to take care of Xiuxiu's affairs, and the Jie family also has a big family matter.
It’s better not to involve other innocent people in our affairs.”
Xie Yuchen clicked his tongue in displeasure, then bent down and clicked on the computer's touchpad, and the second video started playing.
"Even if Zhang Zhuxun doesn't do these things, I can't ignore Wu Xie because of the reason of solving the serial problem."
He glanced sideways at the fat man and said, "There's no need for you to use provocation."
Fatty: "..."
He snorted angrily. No matter what he said, as long as the goal was achieved, he couldn't let Muyu's sacrifice be in vain.
The second video started to play, and the background was still in the study. Muyu had already finished the wooden carving box and was cleaning the wood chips on the table.
Zhang Zhu smiled helplessly, "I knew you couldn't give up."
Then he stopped smiling and his expression became serious, "You can only keep it in your mind after listening to what follows. This matter cannot be discussed in any place that is not 100% safe."
Wu Xiaoxie suddenly clicked pause and asked Xie Yuchen, "Xiaohua, is the computer connected to the Internet?"
Xie Yuchen naturally knew what he had considered, "Don't worry, it's not connected. My electronic equipment is specially customized and there is no possibility of being monitored."
The video continued to play, and Zhang Zhu asked: "Zhenzhen, remember when we went to the Qinling Mountains with Xie Ziyang, and you later asked me where I went when I disappeared."
Hearing this, Wu Xiaoxie's heart tightened. He had a premonition that Muyu's message was about to tell him an unknown secret, which would unravel the mystery of Muyu's secretive actions.
"Actually, what you saw when you were seriously injured and fell into hallucinations was exactly what I was experiencing. It may be that your physique is special, which caused the connection between our spiritual consciousness."
"It is a kind of sacrifice, a kind of sacrifice that almost empties the whole body of blood and can only be started when the human body is on the verge of death."
