After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 546 Secret report many years ago

  Even if there seems to be no one around, you should be cautious. He has already discovered that Bai Ziqi pays attention to him, although the reason is not clear.

   "! How can you be sure..." The mirror was surprised, and it took a few breaths before he realized, "Oh, when did you attack him?" It has been staying on He Lingchuan, why didn't it even notice it?

   This master, it is getting harder and harder to keep up.

"last night."

  He Lingchuan gave this little hint, and stopped unfolding.

  He arrested the fugitive with Bai Ziqi last night, and Cheng Yu was captured by him.

  At that time, Cheng Yu was injured by the lamp spirit and fell into a coma. He Lingchuan held him in his hand, but he actually faced two choices:

  Use a mirror to **** his soul away, or use a nightmare.

  Using the soul-absorbing mirror is the easiest way, but it is easy to be suspected by Bai Ziqi afterwards. After all, the last person who came into contact with Cheng Yu was He Lingchuan.

  The Nightmare sent out is Yechangmengduo, after all, Mengmeng still has to sneak into Cheng Yu's dreamland and design traps to kill him. However, the advantage is that Cheng Yu can still wake up after being brought back to Baisha, and say a few words—

   Yes, this is He Lingchuan's request to Nightmare.

  The nightmare only attacked Cheng Yu after he fell into a coma for the second time, so Bai Ziqi would naturally recalculate the time when he was attacked, and He Lingchuan would be cleared of the suspicion.

  So he decided on the latter plan almost in an instant, and then wiped Cheng Yu's nose with the Juluo branch loaded with nightmares.

  At that time, Cheng Yu was already in a coma, and it was very convenient for Mengmai to take advantage of the situation to fall asleep.

   Now it seems that this risky move is right again.

  After Bai Ziqi captured Cheng Yu and returned to him, he set up everlasting lights around him, any approaching evil spirits would trigger an alarm.

  But the nightmare was lurking in Cheng Yu's dream one step earlier, so how could he be alarmed?

  Bai Ziqi just arrived in Baishazhen yesterday, so he gave He Lingchuan a blow.

   But he didn't know that he was also tricked by He Lingchuan.

  After He Lingchuan finished playing the song, the fierce tiger Jiao Yu rushed over with a cloth bag in his mouth, raised his head and said to him: "The prince has something to give you."

  He Lingchuan lifted his spirits and jumped down to take the cloth bag: "Thank you."

  Jiao Yudao: "The crown prince said, this is a secret. I will withdraw first."

  He didn't dare to look at it either.

  He Lingchuan patted the tiger's head, turned around and went back to the house, closed the door, put another barrier, and then opened the cloth bag.

   "Oh, finally got it!" The mirror whistled. He Lingchuan didn't know how it made this sound.

  In the cloth bag is a box and then opened, there is a stack of letters inside.

  This is the last thing Fushan Yue sent as promised:

  The letter recording the pattern of the black flood dragon.

  He Lingchuan helped him catch Cen Boqing, and also rewarded Zhong Sunmou's death as a reward. He overfulfilled the task entrusted by Fu Shanyue and deserved all the rewards.

  These letters are all in the royal study of Lord Chiyan, and it is almost impossible for others to enter, let alone slowly collect related objects. After Fu Shanyue was promoted to the crown prince, he had just obtained the right to enter and exit the imperial study.

  He Lingchuan looked at the things in hand, and smiled wryly: "Stingy, I won't let me take any advantage."

  There are more than a dozen sheets of paper here, all with different background colors and styles, except for a few sheets of letter paper, some of which are even torn from different books.

  Of course He Lingchuan wanted to read the whole book, but Fu Shanyue only tore off the recorded part with the black dragon pattern, probably for the sake of confidentiality.

  After all, these are all things taken from the imperial study of the Emperor Chiyan, and they have their secrets.

  Placed on the top is a silk book, opened like a scroll, long. Because of the special refining process, the silk surface is just a little old, and there is no moth or dust.

   It was the first time for He Lingchuan to see so many black dragon patterns gathered together.

  He counted at random, and there were as many as eighteen.

  Each pattern is hand-painted, and the painter is meticulous, with charm in every stroke, and even the eyes of the black dragon are painted vividly.

  The address and period of painting are attached to the side of each black dragon pattern.

   It can be traced back to the Yangxing tribe in the Shahe River Basin 2,100 years ago.

  Where is the Shahe River Basin located? He Lingchuan thought for a long time and gave up.

   Write down the place name first, and check it later.

  He also has no impression of the next few addresses, and they are all from a long time ago.

  Then, he saw Yuan Guo's black dragon pattern, two in total.

   Further on, He Lingchuan was taken aback again, because the words "Panlong City" came into view!

  The last five patterns on this silk scroll are all from Panlong City.

  More importantly, the artist also specially marked that these five patterns are all drawn from the same black dragon emblem in Panlong City, but in different periods.

  He Lingchuan quickly calculated that these five patterns were drawn and drawn in the third year, eleventh year, seventeenth year, twenty-fourth year, and... thirty-first year of the Panlong calendar respectively!

  Panlong City has existed for thirty-two years, so the fragments selected by the artist almost run through the entire Panlong era.

   It is like the epitome of an era.

  Why would he do this?

  He Lingchuan dragged the silk script to the end to see the signature.

  The painter's name is Song Wei, and he calls himself Weishan Zhenren.

  The top ten patterns of the so-called silk manuscripts were obtained from ancient books or from ruins. Only the black flood dragon patterns of Yuan Kingdom and Panlong City were surveyed and mapped by him on the spot when the city was still alive and the people lived in peace, and there was almost no error.

   That is to say, he himself has been to Yuan Country and Panlong City successively, and later gathered the patterns at hand to make this silk book.

  In addition to the statue of the black dragon on the south gate of Panlong City, He Lingchuan also saw the pattern of the black dragon in the streets and alleys. The neighbor’s kid, Xiaopang, has graffitied on the wall several times with the content of black dragons, but the painter is not good, so the dragon’s head is painted as a dog’s head.

  He Lingchuan carefully observed the five patterns of Panlong City, and at first glance they were all the same—

   Nonsense, the same emblem is drawn.

  However, Song Wei is not so boring. He has painted five identical patterns for more than 30 years.

  He Lingchuan calmed down to see that the five dragon heads were still slightly different.

  The ones with the eleventh year of the Panlong calendar have slightly longer horns and two more beards than the ones with the third year of the Panlong calendar.

   Just such a small change, He Lingchuan almost found it with a magnifying glass.

  The pattern changes in the twenty-fourth year of the Panlong calendar are obvious. The dragon head looks a size bigger than before, with a longer face, a more powerful beard, and more prominent eyebrow protrusions.

  Most importantly, the sharp horns on its head started to split!

  All the black dragon patterns that He Lingchuan had seen before, including the ones on this silk book, including the ones he saw with his own eyes in Panlong City and Yuanguo, had two bare horns on his forehead!

   Branches out like antlers.

   Or rather, like a dragon.

  He Lingchuan took a light breath and looked at the last pattern.

   But to his disappointment, the dragon head did not evolve further, but went backwards, and the corners of the branches became sharp again, and the beard lost a few strands.

   It is probably similar to the pattern of the eleventh year of the Panlong calendar.

   During the past twenty years, a loneliness has evolved, and it has changed back in the end.

  He Lingchuan went to look at the two black flood dragon patterns in Yuan Guo.

  The interval between these two patterns is not long, that is, half a year or two years.

  After King Yuan took over the abdication of the previous demon king, Yuan Kingdom only existed for four years, of which three years were spent in wars. During the war, border management was very strict, and it was not easy for Song Wei to squeeze into Yuan Country, and Yuan Country was probably not as friendly to outsiders as Panlong City, so he only drew two paintings.

  These two patterns are also slightly different, and the dragon head in the second picture has grown compared to the first picture.

  This is very interesting, especially the five patterns of Panlong City, which are like time-lapse photography, listing the changes of the same Jiaoshou imprint in different periods.

  What is the use of the black dragon pattern, and why does it change?

  He Lingchuan, like Song Wei, does not believe that this change is artificially brought about, but should be a change in the pattern itself.

  In Yuanguo, Panlong City, and even earlier monuments, what caused the "growth" of Jiaoshou?

  Song Wei gave his own speculation.

   This seal may be the belief of the totem used to gather the city people, just like the ubiquitous temples of Bejah.

  The growth of the dragon head reflects whether people are religious to it.

  Or maybe, this dragon head is the imprint of a secret immortal organization. With it, the city can get endless support from the immortals. Because, these places where the dragon head imprint has existed are relatively rich, as if they have been blessed in the dark.

   Bless? He Lingchuan thought about it.

He doesn't know the situation of Yuanguo back then, but the Chipa Plateau, which is backed by Panlong City, is indeed very rich, and has everything he wants, from food, minerals, wood to medicine, fur, and fishery goods, otherwise he would not be able to support Panlong. Military and civilian for so many years.

  Beqa repeatedly tricked it secretly, but failed.

   Is it because the dragon head imprint only appears in rich lands, or is it that the local area is rich because of the dragon head imprint?

  Which is the cause and which is the effect?

  It's hard to say.

   Seeing that Song Wei had no conclusions, he was a little disappointed, and then looked through other materials.

  Inside are all kinds of letters, book pages, and manuscripts. Usually the paper pages are yellowed, brittle, and powdery, so you must be very careful when you read them.

   They are all old parts, and they have been around for a long time.

  He Lingchuan frowned. Fu Shanyue can only find these old objects, which shows that there is no new progress in the research on the black flood dragon.

   There is even a saying that is convincing, thinking that the dragon head may have been left by some immortal sect, and used it as a channel for immortals to communicate with mortals, directing them to seek the world.

He Lingchuan also found a battle report sent back from the inside of Yuan Kingdom by a spy, which provided a lot of information about Qianxing City of Yuan Kingdom, including what happened in the city recently, what orders were issued by the royal court, the salary and price levels in the city, etc. , It’s all about one or two sentences, very concise.

  Among them, the black dragon pattern was actually mentioned, saying that there was a black dragon pattern on the opposite side of the spy's residence. He himself observed it all day long, but he never saw the mark glow or produce any power.

  But just once, the horse pulling goods on the street lost control, and the horse and the cart crashed into the wall.

  The wall is not thick, so it stands to reason that it will collide with each other. However, the horse bumped into the mark of the black flood dragon, his tendons were broken, and the cart fell apart, but the black flood dragon mark was still intact.

  At that time, the spies realized that there was an extremely secret barrier outside the imprint.
