After hearing what Luo Xiaoyu mentioned about the doll, Yun Que felt a little chill on his back.
There are no outsiders in Si Ruonan’s family!
Not only did Wu Dachuan confirm that Si Ruonan lived alone, but just now Yun Que also searched a large circle in the yard, and it was empty without even a ghost.
"How big is the baby?" Yun Que asked.
"It's... so high." Luo Xiaoyu measured the position of his knees and said in surprise: "Hey! It seems a little small. How could such a small baby run away?"
Yun Que measured Luo Xiaoyu's height.
It's about the size of a baby. It's such a small doll that it shouldn't even be able to walk, let alone leaning on the doorframe to watch the fun.
"How dark is the baby's face?" Yun Que continued to ask.
"It's quite dark, like burnt potato skin! But the eyes are very bright, as if they are emitting blue light."
Luo Xiaoyu thought of the deliciousness of baked potatoes and swallowed subconsciously, completely unaware that his description was getting weirder.
"Are you sure the doll you just saw is alive?" Yun Que's voice was deep.
Luo Xiaoyu was shocked when he heard this. He immediately forgot about the baked potatoes and blinked his big eyes and said:
"Yes, right, otherwise why would he be running away? Senior Brother Yun, isn't that baby the child of Senior Si? Is there something wrong?"
"Si Ruonan has no children, only a younger brother." Yun Que said expressionlessly.
"That's her brother!" Luo Xiaoyu said.
"Her brother has died long ago." Yun Que said in a calm voice.
Luo Xiaoyu trembled when he heard this. He kept looking at both sides and said timidly: "Senior Brother Yun, don't be scared, scare, scare me. I'm not very courageous."
"Aren't you very courageous?" Yun Que joked.
"I'm not afraid of living things, but I'm afraid of ghosts!" Luo Xiaoyu whispered, as if he was telling a secret.
"Si Ruonan may not have children." Yun Que thought thoughtfully.
He thought of Hu Congming, the fat little man from Yanmen Town.
If Si Ruonan and Hu Tieshan are husband and wife, then Si Ruonan may be Hu Chongming's mother.
Yun Que thought about his old friend from his hometown, but Luo Xiaoyu mistakenly thought that he was saying that the black baby was Si Ruonan's child, and he became more and more surprised and said:
"It can't be Senior Si's child who died in infancy, right? She refined it into a magic weapon and kept it forever! A dead infant magic weapon! How terrifying!"
After hearing Luo Xiaoyu's nonsense, Yun Que felt helpless and suddenly his eyes moved.
"Dead baby..."
Wu Dachuan once said that Si Ruonan secretly purchased dead babies, and Wu Dachuan once helped transport them.
Could it be that the black baby Luo Xiaoyu saw just now was the dead baby sent by Wu Dachuan?
But why can dead babies be resurrected?
No, not resurrection.
Yun Que glanced at Luo Xiaoyu in surprise. Maybe she had guessed correctly. The dead baby shipped by Wu Dachuan was refined by Si Ruonan into something similar to a magic weapon, so it looked like it was resurrected.
It's just that this dead infant magic weapon is obviously out of control and ran out on its own, or it may not have been completed yet.
Reminiscent of Si Ruonan's weak appearance when he came out of the woodshed, the other party must have been spending a lot of effort refining something or arranging something, but was interrupted by Yun Que.
"Collecting strange medicinal materials and antiques, grafting monsters and beasts, refining dead babies, and buying sophora crystal at a high price. What on earth is she going to do?"
Yun Que wondered about Si Ruonan's ultimate goal, which might not be as simple as refining a dead baby.
Puppy Wangcai is Si Ruonan's masterpiece. This weapon refiner is obviously studying some taboo things.
Since the matter has nothing to do with him, Yun Que will naturally not explore the truth.
Moreover, he not only met Hu Tieshan, but also gave him a very low price. Such a good thing was nowhere to be found, so how could he reveal his secrets.
After finally getting to know a weapon refiner, Yun Que didn't want to offend him.
In the future, if there are enough materials, I might even ask someone to help me refine the flying sword.
In the world of cultivation, there are several types of monks who are most popular.
These people have special skills, are far ahead of others in a certain field, and can easily accumulate a lot of wealth.
It seems that cultivating immortality is not easy either. Yun Que sighed and forgot about the strange things in Si Ruonan's family.
Now that I have come to Changliu Street, I naturally want to take a stroll.
Now that you have the flying sword and mask, all that's left is to collect the elixirs.
Yun Que plans to buy some Lingyuan Dan.
Supplementing it with spiritual elixirs during practice can get twice the result with half the effort.
By the way, I wanted to ask where I can find sophora crystal for sale.
It wasn't that he didn't believe Si Ruonan, but that Yun Que was confused about the two blood barbarians holding Sophora Crystal.
The two barbarians killed on Changliu Street had no spiritual stones or elixirs with them, but only a small bag of sophora crystals.
At that time, Yun Que analyzed that the two guys were probably gamblers who had lost all their valuables, so they chose to take risks and rob and kill others in the market.
Now it seems that this may not be the case, and this matter is very strange.
That small bag of sophora crystal was worth at least three hundred spirit stones. The two barbarians would rather kill people in the market than sell the sophora crystal. This material must be of extremely important use to them.
What do the barbarians want Huaijing to do?
If this riddle can be solved, perhaps the barbarian's lair in the imperial city can be found.
After asking more than a dozen stores in succession, Huaijing’s value was equal to Si Ruonan’s bid, but it was out of stock.
Price but no market!
No wonder Si Ruonan was overjoyed when he saw Huaijing. It turned out that it was impossible to buy it on the market.
It's just a kind of material. Although it is precious, it is not enough to make everyone flock to it.
This is strange. Is there someone purchasing sophora crystal in large quantities?
Yun Que stopped by a shop and made some inquiries.
As he guessed, there are indeed people buying sophora crystal in large quantities. Once the goods are available on the market, they will be bought immediately.
Since he was a big customer of major stores, the store owner refused to disclose any information, except that he was a wealthy man.
Yun Que used his words to test the situation and found out that it was not Si Ruonan, the weapon refiner, but someone else who purchased the sophora crystal.
And this 'rich man' who collects sophora crystals in large quantities is the most critical link in all the clues. It is very likely that it involves the barbarians' lair in the imperial city. As long as this person is found, many mysteries can be easily solved.
"I'm so hungry! Brother Yun, let's go get something to eat. I can't walk anymore."
Hearing Luo Xiaoyu's pitiful voice, Yun Que temporarily put aside his thoughts and found a snack shop on Changliu Street.
It's noon.
The restaurants and restaurants on both sides of the long street were all full. The waiters were shouting and the diners were talking. It was very lively.
Yun Que planned that after the sword fight was over, he would start with the 'rich man' who acquired Huaijing and trace out any clues about the barbarians, so he stopped thinking about it and started focusing on lunch.
After eating, the two of them went to an elixir shop that specialized in selling elixirs, and happened to meet an acquaintance.
It's Yun Que's fellow villager, Han Jiao.
Hanjiao stood alone in front of the tall counter, asking something.
Yun Que recognized him immediately when he saw his back, and was about to go over and say hello.
I haven't seen him for many days. I wonder if the other party's dragon spirit root physical condition has improved.
After getting closer, I heard the conversation between Han Jiao and the shopkeeper.
"Miss, I'm really sorry. Our store is not big and we don't have the kind of elixir that can suppress the bloodline that you want. Why don't you go to another store?"
"Then... is there any elixir that can prolong life? It doesn't take long, it can extend life by a few days."
"There is indeed a magic pill that can extend life by a few days, but it is very expensive and useless for young monks like Miss. Most of it is used on dying old people to help them gain some time to leave their last words."
"How many spiritual stones, I want to buy some..."
