Chapter 392 392(1/2)
Those four skulls can produce green fire when they are thrown, which is particularly obvious in the dark, and under the moonlight, they will be particularly bright the moment they are on fire.
Gongsun said, "It may be similar to the cause of will-o'-the-wisps. These bones are coated with a strange drug that can produce green fluorescence in the wind. There is phosphorus in the bones. The white light should be caused by the burning of phosphorus powder.
The ingredients are quite small, and when the medicine burns with the surface of the skull, it will form a green flame, but it is a cold fire, not hot. "
Gongsun analyzed it and said, "The surface of the bones is not white, but has a brown color. Usually, it takes hundreds of years to be buried in a swamp or rotten wood to have this effect. But judging from the condition of the skull, it doesn't feel like it was buried well."
It’s been a long time.”
Zhan Zhao kept pointing to the third eye on his forehead.
Gongsun said, "Of course this is a forgery! How could someone have three eyes!"
"Are you sure?" everyone asked.
"It must be fake!" Gongsun shook his head, "Even if the head is not that of a human, but that of an ape or a savage... Anyway, no matter what, as long as someone grew up on milk, there is no one with three eyes!"
In the end, there were still no clues, and Zhan Zhao felt that there was no place to start.
The Demon King asked Zhan Zhao to relax. This happened many years ago. Let's wait for Che Dabao to look for the map at Che's house. We will talk about it in a few days.
Gongsun also said, "If you don't have a case, just rest for a few days. Didn't you just come back?"
"These two skulls are most likely the skulls of some kind of large ape, and there may not be any murder cases." Gongsun packed up the things on the table.
Everyone asked Zhan Zhao to rest. There are a lot of things going on at the moment. Isn't the Plum Blossom Tournament selection competition coming soon? You are the leader of the alliance.
When Zhan Zhao heard this, he became even more angry - Zhao Zhen was the one who feared the most chaos in the world...
"What is this box?" Bai Yutang discovered that there was a small wooden box next to the skull. It was in tatters and had a broken lock hanging on it.
Gongsun said, "It was also dug out in the field where the old lady studied."
The fifth master opened the box, but there was nothing inside.
The box looked quite ordinary. Gongsun shook his head and said, "There may have been things in it before, but they are perishable like wood. For example, paper, food, etc., have been buried in the ground for too long and are gone."
Gongsun found a box in the main hall, put together all the things that the old lady dug out of the school, and placed them in the corner.
…
Two more days passed like this. On the morning of the third day, Che Dabao sent someone to tell Zhan Zhao that he had searched all over the house and the ancestral hall of his old house, but no map was found.
Zhan Zhao scratched his head. Could it be that Che Kuai and his uncle really took him into the coffin?
These are life-threatening, so we can't get them at all, and we can't force people to dig up their ancestors' graves, no matter what the grudge is.
When Zhan Zhao told the Demon King, the Demon King was quite open-minded. He patted Zhan Zhao and said, "The three desperate situations are different from the four holy places. The holy places are all deceptive, but the desperate situation is a real miracle. It is impossible to go to such a place."
It all depends on fate and God's will. You can't force it."
After the Demon King finished explaining, Zhan Zhao went to look for Sexiao again.
In fact, Zhan Zhao is more concerned about Sexiao, after all, it is related to the murder of his family.
Seeing that Zhan Zhao felt guilty, Sexiao was amused by him. He said that he had been searching for more than 20 years and still couldn't find the way to the Stone Valley in the north. How could he have found it? And even if he had found it, the north was already covered in ice and snow.
, no living person can enter at all, at least until next summer, so there is plenty of time to look for it slowly, so Zhan Zhao shouldn’t pay too much attention.
When Zhan Zhao returned to Kaifeng Mansion, he couldn't sit still. He went to the door to have a look, but no one was playing drums;
Outside of returning home, I didn’t encounter anything else... The people in Kaifeng were all preparing to stock up on New Year’s goods and were beaming with joy.
After Bai Yutang accompanied Zhan Zhao to find Sexiao just now, he went back to Bai Mansion for some business. When the Fifth Master came back from Bai Mansion, he saw Zhan Zhao walking in the yard in front of Miaomiao Building with his hands behind his back.
They formed a ball and lay on the stone table, their eyes following Zhan Zhao as he circled around.
Bai Yutang asked, "Mao'er, what are you doing?"
Zhan Zhao said, "Suddenly I have nothing to do. I'm not used to it."
Bai Yutang was also speechless - you work hard! Isn't it a good thing not to have a case?
"Want to go out and play?" Bai Yutang suggested.
Zhan Zhao's eyes lit up, "Where are we going to play?"
Bai Yutang thought for a while, "Want to go to the flower show?"
"Flower show?" Zhan Zhao finally remembered. Baekje Garden is holding a flower show these two days. Famous flowers from all over the country have been sent over and they are being sold at the same time.
Fifth Master said he wanted to see if there were any good ones and buy some for the New Year and put them at home.
Zhan Zhao asked, "Are we just going?"
Fifth Master nodded.
The two of them smiled at each other and happily left the Yamen together to go to Baekje Garden.
The two of them had planned well. They would go to dinner after watching the flower show, and then go shopping at the New Year Market in the city. They would play until dark and then go back. Today, they were together, so they didn’t have to take care of the family...
But as soon as the two of them entered Baekje Garden, they met several old men.
Tianzun Yinhou and Lu Tianhan were visiting the flower market. When they saw the two little ones, they both made fun of them - Ouch, are you here to investigate the case? Which flower pot has a human head hidden in it?
Bai Yutang silently looked around at the various flower pots on both sides, and felt inexplicably that it was not impossible.
Zhan Zhao hugged a tree next to him and knocked on the wood hard.
Seeing Bai Yutang coming, Tianzun and Lu Tianhan both came up and said that they had taken a fancy to a few pots of flowers!
The Fifth Master followed the two of them and said - Which ones? Buy them all!
Zhan Zhao held Yin Hou's arm and asked him, "Grandpa, which pot do you like? I'll buy it for you!"
Yin Houhua didn't take a fancy to it. She just saw some strange flowers and plants and said to Zhan Zhao, "There are some pots of strange things over there, they look like butts."
Zhan Zhao was immediately interested, and ran to take a look with Yin Hou on his arm. He was delighted when he saw a row of small round pots filled with gravel and stones, and several strange double-petaled plants.
Strange plants, both red and green, very plump, and some of them have small flowers. Not to mention, the flowers are quite pretty, some are yellow and some are pink, but the part with no roots or leaves does look like
There are patterns on the butt, which is quite unique.
Zhan Zhao made a selection and bought a pot of red for Yin Hou.
Because the pot was quite small, Zhan Zhao left there and walked to the front with Yin Hou. He saw that Fifth Master had called a car. The white flowers in that car... each pot was more elegant than the last.
Yin Hou couldn't help but complain - are these the flowers he should buy during the New Year...
Zhan Zhao also put his small pot on the car, but Tianzun pointed at the flower and was very happy, saying that the flower was plump and looked like a dumpling.
…
"Ah sneeze..."
In the registration hall for the Plum Blossom Tournament selection competition, the fourth son, who came to draw lots with Liang Chenmei and Fang Tianyue, suddenly sneezed.
Rubbing his nose, the fourth boy stood on tiptoes and looked at the long queue in front of him.
"There are so many people..." The fourth son was a little worried. With so many people signing up from Kaifeng Mansion alone, what a grand event it would be during the national competition.
Accompanying the children were the White Ghost King and the White Dragon King. One of them was dragged here by his disciple, and the other was determined to follow his disciple to death.
I have competed with Liangchen Meijing once before, so I have experience with it. I signed up yesterday and got my number, and we drew lots today.
Fang Tianyue only signed up as a single this time, and because of her relatively high reputation, she also attracted a lot of attention.
There were more people signing up for the singles competition than for the team competition, and this time the singles competition had the most people in the group of fifteen to eighteen. Fang Tianyue, who was just thirteen, should have been in the group of fourteen or below, but he
But he was placed in the group above fifteen.
The White Dragon King accompanied his disciple with his hands behind his back. Because it was too white, it attracted more eyes.
Liangchen Meimei stood beside the team competition registration team and heard many people talking about Fang Tianyue.
"Will Tianshan not participate this year?"
"Fang Tianyue kicks solo!"
"Why is he participating in the selection process in Kaifeng?"
"That's right, shouldn't it be over there at Tianshan Mountain?"
"I heard that he left the Tianshan sect."
"Then where did he go?"
"Isn't the one with him Tianzun? He has white hair!"
"Tianzun has silver hair."
"Who is that person?"
Fang Tianyue originally wanted to keep a low profile, but the White Dragon King insisted on following him, so he became even more conspicuous.
The atmosphere at this moment is quite subtle. In competitions, the competition is already fierce, and capable players are respected and guarded against. In a situation where there are already too many people, and an absolute master comes, naturally there will be some uncertainty about the quota of other players.
Influence. In addition, Xiao Fang is obviously not yet young, but he applied for a higher grade. Both the elder and the younger are a little unhappy with him - who are they looking down on?
As they were queuing up, the White Ghost King saw a few guys dressed as gangsters in front of him, carrying a bag of bamboo signs and selling them around.
The group of people walked this way. When they saw an adult, they asked, "Do you want training cards? You don't have to queue up for training early! You can see clearly during the training during the day."
Someone asked along the line, and then he came to the White Ghost King.
To be continued...
