Chapter 58: The Return of an Old Friend

  Looking at him, not only was he poisoned, but it wasn't light either. The sunglasses-wearing man put his hand on my shoulder and said: "This poison can't be immediately cured, we need to wait until after today to do so. So during this period, you have to ensure my safety."

  "Can I go?" he asked, hardly daring to believe it.

  "The Masked Knight let out a sigh of relief and looked at the ancient bronze sword in my hand, saying: 'With this sword, it should be fine.'"

  "Are you referring to this ancient bronze sword?" I continued to ask, he nodded at me and said yes, it was indeed this ancient bronze sword.

  I took another look at the ancient bronze sword, apart from being made up of copper coins strung together, there was nothing else special about it. I asked the Masked Knight: "Can you tell me what this ancient bronze sword is?"

  Now I'm especially curious about the sword in my hand, Xiaoyu didn't give me a detailed introduction when she gave it to me, just saying it was a treasure. Just now, Ouyang Ju actually gave me a price of over 10 million, which made me feel unbelievable, and now Mo Jian Xialing is also like this.

  The sunglasses-wearing guy tapped his finger on my forehead and said with wide eyes, "Tell your sister, I don't even have the energy to speak now. You still want me to tell you? Fine, but first get me a bag of spicy chicken feet."

  "Big brother, don't mess around, how can I get that thing for you at a time like this?"

  "If you can't get it, then don't waste words, hurry up and get me some water."

  The sunglasses hero didn't continue to talk nonsense with me, looking at his pale lips, it's clear that he didn't have the energy to quarrel with me this time. I quickly ran around the house and found a water tank, but after the commotion just now, the water seemed to be dirty.

  I brought some water to the front of Mo Jing Xiu and told him that this water seemed not very clean, he said it was okay, anyway, he didn't drink it. He handed over the golden hook to me, letting me release a red worm from it, first putting it on his arm to suck blood, then sucking water, spitting it out to one side. After repeating several times, the worm couldn't suck anymore and lay limp on the ground, its whole body shriveled up.

  At that time, I took a cold breath, because this bug was still quite scary after turning over. I asked the sunglasses knight: "What's wrong with it?"

  "Can't you see? I've risked my life for this. There's no time to waste on idle chatter, so tell me the whole story quickly. How did the witch die? An ordinary person couldn't have killed her, even if she was injured."

  "Uh-huh!" I nodded and told Sunglasses Knight about all the main things.

  After listening, the sunglasses knight slammed his hand heavily on the wooden pillar next to him and said angrily: "Indeed, one must not have a heart that harms others, but one must also be prepared to defend against others."

  "Do you know who the murderer is?"

  "It can't be 100% confirmed, but it's about 70-80% guessable that what Ou Yang Jiu said is correct. There must be Yun Nan Gu Wang Miao Shun, this is certain now. As for the rest, if you suspect, it's either Ji Quan Dao Shi or the female ghost you guys killed, Wang Xiao Ya."

  When the sunglasses hero said these words, I was stunned and asked in confusion: "Is it really possible that these people? But Jiuchuan Daoist is here to help, I've heard Tang Bingxue say so. Is he possible? And besides, you didn't mention Ouyang Ju at all."

  The sunglasses guy made me lean in a bit, and then another brain crash directly at my forehead, this one was quite painful. At that time, I was very angry, stood up and said to him: "Are you sick? Why do you always hit me, I'm not a kid anymore."

  "Because of your IQ, I'm talking about suspicion. Moreover, Ou Yang Jiu really can't be the murderer. The reason he did those things later on, I think it's because he wanted to use the power of the 36 ghosts to turn the witch's corpse into a vengeful spirit for his own use. So he's not the killer, but this person is indeed despicable, not only didn't help, but also pointed you in the wrong direction, poor Xiao Rou."

  When it came to the last sentence, the expression of the sunglasses knight was very sad, I knew he was worried about Xiaoyu.

  "Masked Knight, don't be too sad. Let's not mention what happened before. Just tell me what to do next. I'm really out of ideas, my IQ is low, so I'll leave this big project to you." Even I myself didn't know if I was comforting him or scolding him.

  "Alright!" The sunglasses-wearing hero directly agreed with me, but continued to say, "However, I need some rest to think it through. So, tonight you guard the entrance and let me get a good rest inside. Tomorrow morning I'll tell you what our next step should be."

  I nodded immediately and said: "No problem, I'll stay with you."

  Although the sunglasses knight still had a bit of a playful tone when speaking, I knew in my heart that he really needed to rest.

  According to what he said, I held the ancient bronze sword and squatted at the entrance, thinking of many things in my mind. The corpse of the witch had disappeared, and it was unknown where it was, Xiaoyu also disappeared, and it was unknown whether she was alive or dead. The appearance of Jiuchuan Daoist this time was to rescue people or had other purposes. Tang Bingxue said something that didn't make sense and left, what kind of conspiracy was Ouyang Ju hiding? Mo Jianxia appeared at the critical moment, and what exactly was this ancient bronze sword in my hand? Why could Ouyang Ju open it for 40 million yuan? And the nine-tailed fox that we were avoiding from the beginning had not appeared until now, and there was also Wang Xiaoya, and that mysterious cave... Ah, I'm going crazy......

  I think every matter is particularly important, and everything is linked together, it's not that my IQ is low. I think such things, even a PhD from Tsinghua University can't solve the puzzle.

  When guarding the sunglasses hero, there was no major obstacle, nor did I see Ouyang Jiu return, nor did I see anyone else, only occasionally hearing some animal calls. It seemed to be there but not, and this sunglasses hero just kept sleeping, never waking up once in between. I used my extremely strong willpower to hold on until dawn, and I also felt particularly spirited.

  When a ray of sunlight flashed on my face, the sunglasses-wearing man walked out from inside. At this moment, his state was much better than yesterday's. After yawning, he said to me: "Thanks for your hard work, Little Dragon."

  "No hardship, serve the people!" I replied, and asked him: "Is your current condition completely better now?"

  "It's almost like I've recovered about 70-80% of what I had before, that's the current situation. The first thing we need to do is find Xiao Rou, everything else is unimportant, without her, I won't be able to live either."

  This is also in line with the character of Mo Jing Xiang, he likes Xiao Rou, just wants to express it very clearly. I also told him: "Okay, I agree with this, but do you know the route?"

  "Although I don't know, the big turtle king in my hand knows. It can feel Xiao Rou's aura, and we'll follow its route along the way."

  Before I could even understand what was going on, the Sunglasses Cavalier had already released this turtle from its shell. Previously, I had been extremely disgusted by this thing, but this time after seeing the big turtle, I couldn't help but go over and touch its shell, which was still the same size as before. Its head was just tucked inside, and the Sunglasses Cavalier told me it must be shy. I asked him if the big turtle still had any consciousness now? The Sunglasses Cavalier told me that it would retain some residual memories from when it was alive, after all, it too was a hundred-year practitioner. It's just that it took the wrong path!

  "But can it really? Can I really feel Xiaoyu's breath?" I still didn't dare to believe.

  "Sunglasses Master frowned and said to me, 'You may not trust me, but you must trust this big turtle. It's a hundred-year-old big turtle. If it weren't for the Golden Toad, even gods wouldn't be able to refine it.'"

  "I didn't say I don't believe you!" I hastily explained, "I just think it's a bit strange. So what's the idea behind this big turtle, and what's Xiaorou's situation now?"

  "The Ink Glasses Hero took out the glasses from his pocket and said to me: 'Xiao Rou is still alive, and she hasn't left the range of Fengmen Village. Just follow me to find her.'"

  "Hmm!" I nodded, "So can you tell me something about the ancient bronze sword now?"

  "Alright, let's talk while we walk." The sunglasses-wearing hero also stopped being mysterious.

  The giant tortoise, trained in the art of scouting, moved extremely quickly. Along the way, it cleared a path by knocking down all the thorns and thistles, allowing me and Mò Jìng Xiá to travel more smoothly. Now, I can only think that this is indeed a case of "the east side of the river for thirty years, the west side for thirty years". I never thought that this giant tortoise would be so useful today.
