When Golden Finger Meets Salted Fish

Night fell again, and two figures were lurking outside the aboriginal tribe.

Zhu Baiyi and Qing Yu have been observing for a long time. The two of them were not fledgling rookies, they had a lot of experience traveling around, so it was easy to see that the tribe's night defense hadn't been strengthened.

Is it because these aborigines are too big-hearted, they never thought that someone would come to rescue so soon? Or are they too arrogant to pay attention to those monks on the island? Or... do they have any special reliance?

Earlier, Jiang Mo and the others had reservations about what they said to the disciples of the Red Blood Sect and Xuanqing Sect, but she knew everything about Peak Master Qingyu. Therefore, Zhu Baiyi and Qing Yu also knew that there was a merman on this island who had disappeared for many years, and that merman not only could use spiritual power, but also had inextricable connections with the aborigines on the island.

The two came here tonight, saving lives was the second priority, and more importantly, they wanted to find out about the relationship between the mermaids and the aborigines.

After lurking for a long time, Zhu Baiyi lowered his voice and said to Qing Yu: "Let's take a detour to the back of the tribe first. Tan Xin said that there is a water pool there, and he also saw sharks there."

The relationship between Qing Yu and Zhu Baiyi is constantly being cut and messed up, but no matter what, the two can trust each other. In addition, living on this island now, no matter what kind of grievances they have, they all have a common enemy, and the short-term peaceful coexistence can still be maintained. For example, Qing Yu now is the "Elder Qi" who really blocked Zhu Baiyi from the stranger, nodded and said: "Let's go."

Zhu Baiyi saw her indifference, and sighed in his heart, but he also knew that now was not the time to talk too much. She got up first to hide her whereabouts and rushed to the rear of the tribe, followed by Qing Yu.

The two came to the rear of the tribe according to Tan Xin's description, and they saw a not too big water pool here.

The water is running water, after it flows into the pool, it flows out from the gap on the other side, but there are no sharks or anything—this is not unexpected, after all, sharks originally lived in the sea, and they can also play their role in the sea. out of the maximum strength. Even if he is somewhat involved with this tribe, he will never wrong himself to stay in this small pool every day.

The two searched around the water pool, but they couldn't find any special traces, but they found a not-so-obvious trail among the dense grass beside the Tan. The path is only enough for one person to pass, and the vegetation on the path is hard to stand out, obviously people often walk on it.

But according to Tan Xin, this is the territory of the Merman, what is that man doing here? It can't be for feeding, right? !

Zhu Baiyi and Qing Yu looked at each other, and had a vague guess in their hearts. Zhu Baiyi stretched out his hand and pointed forward along the path, Qing Yu nodded slightly, and the two chased up along the path. The trail is not long, but it leads to the tribe, so the two carefully avoided the patrolling guards, and then stepped into the legendary aboriginal tribe.

After entering the tribe, the ground became flat, and there were not even a few weeds, which were all caused by the trampling of the aborigines for thousands of years. And here, there is no distinction between roads, and where to find it from the trail becomes a problem.

Fortunately, this question was difficult for Qing Yu who had lost her spiritual power, but it was difficult for Zhu Baiyi. She could smell the faint smell of water with just a slight sniff. She immediately gestured to Qing Yu to signal him to follow, and then quietly walked towards the tribe.

Qing Yu naturally followed. In fact, the two didn't go far, and stopped outside a nearby wooden house.

This house is no different from other houses in the tribe, and even more inconspicuous because it is located on the outskirts of the tribe. However, Zhu Baiyi and Qing Yu obviously did not take this lightly. They came outside the wooden house and listened to the movement in the house with breathless concentration—except for the sound of breathing and snoring, there was nothing else. The owner of the wooden house was obviously fast asleep.

Qing Yu didn't doubt Zhu Baiyi's judgment, but came over with a questioning look: What should I do next?

Zhu Baiyi's courage was not small, he gestured to Qingyu to signal her to wait outside, then he shook the door latch and walked in. Immediately after, the snoring stopped abruptly, and Qing Yu guessed that it was about the same time, so she dodged to follow in.

The owner of this wooden house is a couple. They are still sleeping soundly in bed, but they have obviously been knocked out by Zhu Baiyi.

Seeing Qing Yu entering the room, Zhu Baiyi only nodded at her, and then searched the room again—the layout of the room is very simple, except for the bed, there are only tables, chairs and wardrobes, which can be seen through at a glance. .

It was also at this glance that Zhu Baiyi's gaze fell on the pattern carved in the corner of the wall...

***************************************************** *************

The two seniors left in the middle of the night, and the remaining disciples were naturally worried. They found a place with good terrain to temporarily settle down, but they couldn't sleep peacefully, so a group of people stayed awake and waited for the two to return.

The island under the cover of night was very quiet, except for the sound of the waves in the distance, only the occasional roar of monsters.

While waiting for the two elders to come back, everyone was wary of the sneak attack of the monster, but they didn't even see a hair of the monster after being vigilant in the middle of the night. Finally someone couldn't help being surprised and said: "What's the matter, those monsters are so honest tonight? Or is there something special about this place we chose, that no monsters dare to come?"

Except for Jiang Mo, no one can answer this question, but it is always a good thing that there are no monsters to attack at night. After confirming this point, the atmosphere among the crowd relaxed a little, and gradually some people began to chat.

Jiang Mo listened for a while, but didn't hear any useful news, so he turned his attention back.

Yun Qingyue sat across from her, the moonlight fell on her body, even with a mask covering her, people couldn't take their eyes off her.

Before he knew it, Jiang Mo looked a little crazy, and he didn't even know when Yun Qingyue came to see it. When her eyes met, she suddenly felt a panic of being caught, and at the same time she quickly looked away, her cheeks under the mask were also slightly hot.

No one spoke, and Yun Qingyue didn't say anything.

After a while, Jiang Mo looked back, only to find that the senior sister had already closed her eyes and meditated. Jiang Mo didn't feel relieved, on the contrary, he was full of disappointment, and even looked at his senior sister with a little bit of tinge in his eyes.

Unfortunately, Yun Qingyue closed her eyes and didn't see it.

The night was getting darker without sound, and peak master Qing Yu and the others hadn't come back most of the night, and the people who had been waiting peacefully finally gradually became worried and uneasy. Fortunately, when the sky turned pale, the two returned with dew all over their bodies.

The disciples breathed a sigh of relief, and went up to meet them. Seeing the two of them coming back alone, they felt a little depressed after all—I heard Jiang Mo and the others say it was the same thing before, and they were all proud of the sky. Before they met those aborigines, even if there were In order to be vigilant, he never really took the other party too seriously. But now that the two elders of the sect went there, they still failed to save the man, which clearly explained the problem.

The people of the Red Blood Sect were more reckless and straightforward, so they asked: "Elder Qi, what happened to those captured monks, can they be rescued?"

As soon as this remark came out, even Yun Qingyue cast his gaze over it, after all, even Zhong Heng stepped in to save someone the night before.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Baiyi shook his head when he heard this, and said: "This matter is not urgent, we will discuss it later."

According to Jiang Mo and the other three, all the captured monks have been tricked, and they don't know what the aborigines are going to do, so why not worry? Even Yun Qingyue couldn't hold back when he heard this, and turned his attention to his master.

Outsiders are unreliable, but Zhong Heng is the master's true disciple, and the master will never leave him alone!

However, ever since she came back, Qing Yu has never said a word, and she didn't seem to notice Yun Qingyue's gaze on her head—she was really distracted and didn't notice, Yun Qingyue, who was quite familiar with her I see it. But what exactly happened in that tribe that made the master look like this was something she couldn't figure out.

It was Tan Xin who broke the deadlock in the end. He stood up and recited the Buddha's name, and then asked the two bluntly: "Seniors, I don't know if you rushed to visit at night today, but did you see the merman last night?"

As soon as this remark came out, Zhu Baiyi and Qing Yu looked over together, and although they didn't speak, they had already given the answer.

At this time, everyone knew that the matter of the ghost ship was inseparable from the mermaids. After hearing this, some people couldn't hold back and said, "Mermen, why are they mermaids again? Haven't they disappeared for thousands of years, why did they suddenly appear?" come out?"

No one has given an answer to this question for the time being, but following these words, Zhu Baiyi and Qing Yu's thoughts inevitably returned to the past—

Both of them were born in great sects, and their status is not low, so they naturally know some secrets that others don't. Therefore, after learning that there are sharks infested on this island, their purpose of going to the aboriginal tribe tonight was not to save people but to investigate. The process was also very smooth. They found the problematic wooden house from the pool where the merman haunted, and then Zhu Baiyi discovered the demon clan's formation in the wooden house.

This tribe is related to the merman, and it is not unusual to see a monster formation, but there is no doubt that this place is related to the merman. They found the right place, Zhu Baiyi stared at the formation and began to study it.

Unlike Yun Qingyue, who has never received inheritance at all, Zhu Baiyi has no one to teach her, but at least she got the manual left by Yaozu's father. Three hundred years ago, she was able to learn the secret method of inheriting the bloodline. After many years of special research, she has naturally made more progress.

It didn't take long for Zhu Baiyi to figure out that it was a special teleportation array, which can be activated without inputting spiritual power, and only needs a specific method.

The two of them were also bold. Without knowing the purpose of the teleportation formation, they hesitated for a while before thinking of going to check it out. Finally, they activated the formation and came to a special place.

I saw tall stone pillars all around, mysterious pictures and texts under the feet, and the vast stone platform was clearly an altar. There was also a strong smell of blood that made people want to vomit, but seven or eight monsters were piled up at the corner of the altar to let blood. The strange thing is that a lot of monster blood was released, but very little flowed into the altar, so that Qing Yu's feet were still clean when they teleported over.

Both were taken aback. However, Xu did not expect outsiders to come through the teleportation array. There was no one guarding the altar, and they were not discovered immediately, so they were able to continue exploring...
