The Lord who use immortals as food

"Fire Planting Book" is something that Pei Ye did not expect, but suddenly understood after seeing it.

"Yang Hu", "Liu Bei", "Guan Yu", "Zhang Fei". After the death of many actors in the scene, their bodies and bones will be burned by fire in an instant.

It comes from the fire planted in the body.

Pei Ye slowly flipped through the book, using the drama as the code name. There were a total of forty-seven names on it, recording in detail his location, what he was planning, and his current progress.

And under each person there is a mark - Fire Lord: Sima.

"We heard that Pei Shaoxia had fought against this kind of flame and prevented its spontaneous combustion." Hong Liang said, "Pei Shaoxia's thoughts can help us understand the meaning of this book more accurately."

Pei Ye was silent for a while: "I know that Huansilou has two identities: 'actors' and 'actors'. Fire is only planted in the bodies of 'actors'. After a person dies, fire starts in the Dantian and is used to destroy the body and eliminate traces." Everything written in this book must be about opera ghosts. The bodies of Zhang He and Guo Huai did not spontaneously combust after their death, so they are not among them."

"Why do you think Mr. Pei thinks that?" Hong Liang leaned on the desk and asked, "Since the theater performers have a face and identity, they shouldn't destroy their corpses and eliminate all traces of them? Since the theater ghosts are 'inhuman', why are they so popular?"

Pei Ye shook his head: "Since the actor lives in the town, even if there are no bones, it is easy to know who is missing. But if the actor is burned down, there will really be no trace -"

At this point, he suddenly paused himself. Yes, what traces on the opera ghost were they trying to annihilate?

But he has actually seen opera ghosts who did not turn into ashes.

Pei Ye suddenly recalled that morning at the Changdao Martial Arts School. At that time, the deepest darkness had not yet revealed its trace. In the bright morning light, the girl in the green dress stood next to him and pointed at the corner of her eyes with a smile: "Do you want to learn? ?”

He thought with a smile, and then watched the girl peel off the mask of "Yang Hu".

Revealing a strange face as shiny as dough.

"Perhaps," Pei Ye said slowly, "just to burn away this kind of 'inhuman'."

"."

Pei Ye stared at the empty space blankly, and the blue flying skirt seemed to be lingering. He clearly remembered that no matter what kind of predicament he was in, the girl always gave him a pleasant smile. If she were around these days, even if his heart was heavy, his face would be helplessly amused from time to time.

Now that things are settled, it's time to give her a proper reply.

Pei Ye shook his head, put away his scattered thoughts, and frowned again.

A feeling is becoming clearer - the product of "Playing Ghost" is actually closer to the "essence" of Huanshilou. Fire and Faceless are both incredibly special, which in itself is the reason why they want to destroy themselves.

He thought blankly until his eyes fell on the label "Fire Lord: Sima" again, and he was suddenly startled.

Fire Lord.

Because he studied sword theory, he had paid special attention to single words - why do you say "lord"?

He suddenly thought of the cold tool feeling of a ghost, as if he had no life and no desires. Not only did he abandon his identity in life, but he even left no bones after death. Was he exactly a "slave"?

It is precisely because of such a relationship of absolute control

Pei Ye stared at the empty space without saying a word, so how was this kind of control established?

Until the kitten on his shoulder suddenly popped up a small blue flame and slowly floated into Pei Ye's field of vision. Pei Ye subconsciously reached out to touch it. It was neither burning nor hot, calm and harmless.

But the next moment it suddenly turned into a jade-like red, and Pei Ye suddenly retracted his hand, which was already a little red-hot.

This violent flame almost burned a hole in the air.

Pei Ye stared blankly at the dissipated sparks, then turned his head sharply to look at the kitten on his shoulder, looking at him calmly with his green eyes.

"I don't know how to turn it into that kind of fire, but the result should be similar." Black Cat said.

Pei Ye took a deep breath, slowly closed the "Fire Planting Book" in his hand, raised his head and looked at Hong Liang: "I have a guess without evidence - this is their most core roster. The person above represents the power that is absolutely controllable. In other words, the person who is under restraint.”

Hong Liang listened quietly.

"Because that fire can not only destroy corpses and eliminate traces." Pei Ye said, "It can be activated by the host, so it should also be activated by the 'Fire Lord'."

There was a sudden silence in the room.

"So I think," Pei Ye continued, "those who are registered must give everything they have, including their lives. Only when they are given the powerful power of fire can they gain the trust of Huansilou."

".You mean, through fire, Sima can control the life and death of all the opera ghosts at any time, and a simple action can turn them into ashes in an instant?"

Pei Ye nodded: "I think so."

"No wonder." Hong Liang sighed in surprise, "This organization is even tighter than the Immortal Platform."

In the silence, a person suddenly laughed and said: "Where is the Immortal Platform? If you don't want to leave today, you can fine me ten taels of silver at most."

"Really? I'm going to shout: Xu Cunxin immediately resigned from his job after reading "Fire Planting Book" and disappeared without a trace——"

Xu Cunxin rushed over and covered his mouth: "Good brother! I still have a wife and daughter at home."

Pei Ye also smiled slightly and put the book back on the case, but his brows were still frowning.

If the structure of Huansi Tower is so hierarchical, then is there a higher will higher up, and how can he or they guarantee [Sima]'s absolute obedience?

Of course, maybe Sima is already a member of the highest group. When the number is small enough, absolute control is not necessarily needed.

Pei Ye lowered his head and looked at the booklet again. There were no three scenes of [Sun], [Liu], and [Cao] on it. They were all lower-level Vein Tree Cultivators. However, an uncontrollable guess was still like a ghost. Slowly rising from his mind.

"Brother Hongliang." Pei Ye held the young man's forearm and whispered, "May I ask where Mr. Zhang is now?"

Hongliang was startled for a moment: "How-"

Looking at the serious expression of the young man in front of him, he closed his mouth, stretched out his hand and said, "It's in the back hall of the law enforcement hall. Can I take the young hero there?"

Pei Ye nodded: "It's troublesome."

————

Zhang Xiaozhu looked up from behind the case and was somewhat surprised to see the young man.

He put down his pen, Hongliang closed the door and left, leaving only two people in the room.

"Pei Shaoxia, please sit down. What do you want?" The man stretched out his hand and looked at him.

The strength of some people is always clearly written on their appearance. The sword covered with thin chains is placed beside the table, and the sight of it makes people feel creepy. The man's one-armed body is as ferocious as this sword, which can be unsheathed at any time.

Pei Ye cupped his fists and told what happened in the "Fire Planting Book" just now, and then whispered: "Master Zhang, Mr. Sui told me before that [Xiting Heart] was not found on Sima, and he suspected that it was caused by Qu Zhu Taken away, right?"

"That's right, after Sima and I left Jianbelly Mountain, the peak masters went in and saw only a few peak masters who were not sure whether they were alive or dead. The sword dragon had disintegrated, and both the heart mirror and the heart of the west court were missing." Zhang Xiaozhu's voice Born to be low-pitched and even-tempered, "Now that he is no longer with Sima, we suspect that he disappeared with Qu Zhu."

Pei Ye was silent for a moment: "I still think so. This is the most normal and possible fact. It's just that I just saw "Fire Planting Book" and I can't help but have some ridiculous thoughts."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Do you think Qu Zhu was also planted with 'immortal fire'?"

Zhang Xiaozhu squinted his eyes: "Is there any basis for this?"

"There is no basis." Pei Ye whispered, "Even if it is a sudden thought, there is no way to verify it, Mr. Zhang. I may be affected by some obsessions and emotions. I just don't complain about it, for your consideration."

Zhang Xiaozhu nodded and slowly leaned on the back of the chair.

Pei Ye continued in a calm tone: "Qu Zhu is a crucial link in this case. It was he who took the people from Huanshulou to Hushan Jianmen to obtain the [Xiting Heart], and he was also the one who designed the [Soul Seizing] Pearl], and completed the formation of [Mirror Dragon Sword Sea] with one hand. He and [Sima] are the two core people of Huanshi Tower. One of them chased Miss Ming, and the other took away [Xiting Xin], but they couldn't find her The development of the problem, I also believe that this is a simple and clean fact.”

"But there is another small possibility if my guess is correct"

"Then [Xitingxin] may not be in Qu Zhu's hands yet." Zhang Xiaozhu said.

".yes."

The host immediately understood what he was thinking.

If Qu Zhu had fairy fire in his body, then he would not have the right to take [Xiting Heart] by himself.

This is simple logic. Qu Zhu and [Sima] are not equal holders of power. Things like [Xitingxin] and "Sword Tao" can only be controlled by [Sima] alone. Qu Zhu is not unable to carry it, but everything must be carried. First, there is [Sima]’s authorization.

And when Sima chases him out of Jianfu Mountain, will he hand [Xitingxin] to Qu Zhu?

Most likely not.

That wasn't the right time.

Everything was about to be successful. Sima didn't know that he would face the coming of the Immortal Lord next, and he didn't know that he would be unable to leave even though he was drawing a formation diagram. Of course he would hold everything in his own hands when he was almost in perfect condition, and handing over the core thing to a seriously injured person would be just an extraneous issue.

Zhang Xiaozhu was silent for a moment: "Pei Shaoxia, what percentage do you think this is possible?"

Pei Ye paused slightly: "Less than half a percent."

The root of it all is just conjecture.

Qu Zhu, a powerful core member of the Huansi Tower, was the only one who left everyone behind in this case. The wishful thinking that he is a "fire slave" is indeed caused by the young man's obsession.

He knew that he had no evidence to convince Xianrentai, but it was impossible for him to forge evidence. He could only remain silent for a while and wanted to speak again.

Zhang Xiaozhu suddenly said: "I think it's 20%."

Pei Ye's eyes widened.

Zhang Xiaozhu sighed softly, and Pei Ye realized that this room had been completely isolated for some time. The man said: "Before Mr. Sui left, we actually discussed similar possibilities."

".What?"

"Because the [Heart Mirror] is in Sima's hand, and he took it off from the Mirror Dragon before leaving, so taking off the [Xiting Heart] alone from it is a somewhat redundant, or too far-sighted action. "Zhang Xiaozhu said, "Although we did not find it on [Sima] or anywhere he has been, we still want to face up to this delusion."

Zhang Xiaozhu looked at him: "——Maybe that [Treasure Raft from the Other Shore] didn't take away anything. Among the broken half of the body, [Xiting Heart] was sent to an unknown place."

"Don't Qu Zhuhui know where this place is?"

"Most likely, he may have taken it away."

"."

"But since you have already delusional, why not delusional to the end?" Zhang Xiaozhu looked at him, "Maybe Sima is such a suspicious person, and the formation map drawn on him is his last trump card. On this trump card, he Won't trust anyone."

Pei Ye was quiet.

Indeed, the two adults had already thought clearly about what he could think of. This made him feel a lot more relaxed, so what would happen if this possibility turned out to be true?

Qu Zhu will not fly far away.

That figure appeared in front of him again. On a rainy night, with the torn black robe, blood-stained gray hair, and cold expression, Pei Ye suddenly saw another him from behind this picture.

He did not hold any power, but had been living in the hands of others for twenty years. So what was the purpose of all he did for Huansilou?

Of course it is [Xitingxin].

He exchanged his freedom and life for the power of Huansi Tower to obtain the thing that has oppressed Hushan Jianmen for thousands of years. So before getting it, even if Huansheng Tower was completely defeated, would he really leave with his life?

In the snowy valley and in front of the Bronze Palace, the furious and painful young face seemed to appear behind the black robe. Of course Pei Ye recognized it, or in other words, no one in the world recognized him except Pei Ye.

He will definitely find a way to take it away.

Zhang Xiaozhu said: "We did find a few vague hidden buttons in [Sima]'s body."

Pei Ye looked up suddenly.

"Don't be surprised. When almost every Xuanmen was killed or arrested, half of his backhand was still unused." Zhang Xiaozhu smiled faintly, "The power that has not been unleashed doesn't mean anything. It's just that we hope , that’s the backhand that can still inspire.”

"If it is indeed as we imagined, then Huansi Tower still needs to carry out an operation around it." Zhang Xiaozhu said, "We did not alert [Sima], and only the three of us know about this matter. Mr. Sui and I The details have been agreed upon, and we will tell Pei Shaoxia the result within five days at most."

Pei Ye admired in his heart. When the Immortal Terrace really took over everything, he really didn't have to worry about anything more, so he clasped his fists and said goodbye.

Zhang Xiaozhu nodded slightly, picked up his pen again, and said seriously: "Young Master Pei, please rest assured, since Xianrentai has taken over the case, even if it is the last ridiculous possibility, we will fight to the end. But in the end, if we really draw water from a bamboo basket, then This is the right thing to do, and I hope that the young hero will not get into trouble with me."

That's natural. When Pei Ye came, he thought he would have to spend a lot of time to persuade the platform owner to pay for his sudden idea. Now that the Immortal Platform is willing to spend so much energy to lay the last net, it is an unexpected surprise. If If there is indeed no result, then it should be left to the future. He is no longer a child who cries over failure.

With the matter settled and his heart feeling relaxed, Pei Ye went out and looked far south.

Behind the faint shadow of the mountains, there is the capital city of Shaolong in fifty states, where the swordsman gathers, haha.

Mr. Sui said he would meet her in Fucheng, which actually left him an extra day. Pei Ye looked at the sky, tilted his head and smiled: "Let's go see Miss Ming. If it's convenient for her, we can set off tomorrow morning!"

"What if it's inconvenient for her?" Black Cat asked, "Should we leave early?"

"If it's inconvenient for her." Pei Ye was startled. This question was a bit unexpected. After a few days of getting used to it, he was not ready to leave the white clothes. "Then we can just wait a little longer. It's okay."

"Oh." Black Cat nodded and sighed, "Separation is the main theme of life, Pei Ye."

"." Pei Ye looked at it inexplicably.

"Except me," it added calmly.
