Celestial Masters Alliance

The smile quickly disappeared from Zhang Lingxi's face. He handed me the jade lock and gently hooked it on his neck with his fingers like water onions. A silver chain was exposed from the collar, with a piece hanging underneath. The jade lock is exactly the same as the one in my hand. I was so surprised that I forgot to breathe, and my back straightened unconsciously.

"They are all imitations!" His voice was low, and he did not intend to take off the jade lock from his neck for me to take a closer look: "As far as I know, there are three pieces of imitations, and now the three pieces are gathered together. "

My mind was spinning, there were three pieces, one was in my hand, and the other was in the body of the warlock named Zhang Lingxi, so the last piece must be: "Is it in Ma Tiantong's hand?"

He rolled his eyes and didn't answer me, but I thought his expression was confirming me: "That rope of yours stinks to death, and it's still tangled with a bunch of dog hair."

Zhang Lingxi stood up from the wooden chair. The chair made a short scraping sound due to the contact of his calf with the ground, as if he was deliberately telling me his next move.

He picked up the book on the corner of the table and went to the bookcase, carefully placing the bookend inside. His words did not embarrass me, but his figure attracted all my attention.

He was not shorter than me in height, and he wore a pair of leather shoes under his black ripped pants. However, when he walked, the leather shoes made no sound with the ground, not even the sound of cutting through the air.

After putting down the book, he turned around and looked at me in a daze and tilted his head. I coughed quickly to cover up my embarrassment: "The imitation ones can open tree holes, so the real jade locks are so awesome that they can destroy the world." Destroy the land?"

"It's not like it will destroy the world. Regarding the real jade lock, this is the only time my master and Ma Tiantong's master have the same opinion. They said that the jade lock contains the Purifying Mantra."

"What does the Purifying Mantra do?" I spat it out before I could even think of it.

Zhang Lingxi thought for a long time before saying, "Do you know how long you slept?"

I subconsciously raised my hand and looked at my watch. It was seven o'clock. Is it night?

"All day long." He walked towards me and grabbed my wrist. The movement was so fast that I was caught off guard.

"It should be fine! Get ready to go to sea!" He said to himself.

I couldn't react: "Why go?"

"Find the answer!" After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.

I sat on the bed feeling annoyed, where was Huang Xiao? How could you leave me alone with strangers? I looked around the room for my backpack, and finally found it on the footboard under the desk. The thin and worn-out baseboard was bent under the weight of my heavy backpack and was on the verge of breaking. When I picked up the backpack, the entire table creaked and shook twice.

I impatiently took out my cell phone to confirm the date, and checked to see if Xiaoba and Mumu had called me, but it turned out that there was no signal at all, not even a bar. I collapsed on the bed in disappointment, covering my still dizzy head.

There was a knock on the door, and before I could respond, the man opened the door and came in. It was Huang Xiao. The helplessness and the anger of being tricked all came up in an instant. Ignoring my dizziness, I rushed towards Huang Xiao, slammed him into the wall with my shoulder, and choked him with one hand. She grabbed his neck and hit him hard on the stomach with the other hand.

Maybe Huang Xiao was completely unprepared, or maybe he could understand my anger and took the punch alive. In fact, when my fist was about to fall on him, I tried my best to hold back the force. I didn't want him to get hurt.

Huang Xiao's body slumped against the earthen wall, her neck was grabbed by me, and her eyelids were drooped, looking at me blankly. Due to our actions, some loess was raised on the wall. In order to prevent the loess from falling into my eyes, I had to squint my eyes slightly.

"You hide a lot of things from me!" I said through gritted teeth.

Huang Xiao took a deep breath and inhaled some loess. He coughed lightly: "Actually..."

"There were many opportunities to explain along the way, but you didn't tell me anything." I walked back to the bed and sat down, wiped away the cold sweat caused by the intense action, packed my backpack, and prepared to leave.

Huang Xiao walked over quickly with stiff legs and grabbed my wrist: "I won't tell you because I don't know anything."

I looked at Huang Xiao fiercely, and his eyes told me that he was not lying. I relaxed my body, threw his hand away, and raised my chin at him: "That's a good excuse."

Huang Xiao pulled a wooden chair and sat across from me. He rubbed his knees with his hands and thought for a while before he said, "When we went down to the tree hole, I discovered the jade lock and Zhang Lingxi on your hand, as well as the horse." Tiantong's jade lock looks very similar. After I came back from the tree hole, I couldn't contact them right away, so I delayed talking about it until now."

"Wait a minute! Even if we have the same jade lock, there's nothing strange about it! Does their jade lock have a different origin?" I quickly interjected to avoid being led away from the topic by Huang Xiao.

Huang Xiao nodded: "Ma Tiantong's master is Zhang Lingxi's grandfather, Zhang Lingxi's master is Ma Tiantong's grandfather, the jade lock was given to them by their masters before they passed away, and the two masters passed away in the same year. , what makes me even more concerned is that my uncle (my father) and aunt (my aunt) passed away that year. These are all people related to Jade Suo, what a coincidence!"

"Why did the two masters know that the jade lock was important and gave it to two children?" I haven't met Ma Tiantong yet, but judging from Zhang Lingxi's age, they should be about the same, if they got the jade lock in the same year , but it’s not like the situation when my aunt gave me the jade lock.

wrong! How did Huang Xiao know that my jade lock must be related to my aunt? I can't mess with the topic now, I have to try my best to pretend I don't notice the problem.

"Huh?" Huang Xiao was a little surprised. He opened his mouth half-open and reacted for a long time before saying: "They were not young at that time and had been studying for more than ten years."

"If you learn art at the age of three, you will be thirteen at most in ten years. You are still not a child?" I was a little annoyed. It seemed that we had taken the topic too far again.

"The entry-level age for their profession is generally six years old. So I was about seventeen or eighteen when I got the jade lock." Huang Xiao heard my impatience and answered me more simply.

I calculated it in my mind, God! That Zhang Lingxi is nine to ten years older than me, but just now I thought he was just a boy of about twenty years old! Could it be that Taoist priests took preservatives when refining elixirs for maintenance?

Just as I was thinking wildly, Huang Xiao took the jade lock from my hand, pointed it at the desk lamp, and lightly clasped the strap with his fingers. The hole that could be used for projection was exposed in the middle of the jade lock: "Put the beam in from here, and it will The image formed into a disk is projected.”

Of course I know this, Mu Mu and I have discovered it a long time ago: "Do the jade locks of the two of them produce the same results?"

"It seems to be the same, but if you put the projection on a fixed silk scarf, it will appear different." Huang Xiao took out his mobile phone from his pocket and pointed the light of the mobile phone at the small hole in the middle of the jade lock. The holes make the image slowly rotate on the bald wall.

"Nonsense, the scarves are different, so of course the patterns will be different." I subconsciously expressed surprise, as if it was the first time I saw this magical figure.

"No! They were printed on the same silk scarf. Ma Tiantong's jade lock revealed four artifacts, and Zhang Lingxi's jade lock revealed four maps." After saying this, Huang Xiao looked at the jade in his hand in silence. Lock.

In that case, what my jade lock showed should be the address. I deliberately pretended to be curious and asked, "Tell them to bring that silk scarf over and try what my jade lock can show."

Huang Xiao shook his head: "They don't have silk scarves. When their master gave them the jade lock, he also gave them the manifestation diagram. It is said that the silk scarf is in the Zhu family." After that, he handed back the jade lock. He gave it to me, staring at me intently, as if exploring the subtle changes in my expression.

I felt a little guilty and nervous, and my palms began to sweat unconsciously. The square silk scarf was not in the Zhu family, but it was right to say it was in the Zhu family now, because I had dug the silk scarf out of the collar of the Japanese corpse. no! It's best not to let Huang Xiao know about this matter.

"Zhu family?" I pointed at myself and asked in surprise, "You are also a Zhu family, and you know that our family used to be in the silk business, but in our generation, there is no silk scarf in the family, not even silk thread." Have you ever seen one?"

"So we have no way of knowing what secrets are hidden in this jade lock." Huang Xiao sighed, his expression a little depressed. "However, we can follow Ma Tiantong and Zhang Lingxi to see what they can find with their jade locks."

Huang Xiao suddenly raised his head and looked directly into my eyes and said: "You are from the Zhu family. Whether it is the jade lock or the silk scarf, it is inseparable from the Zhu family. Are you curious? Why are the other two jade locks in the warlock's house?" But this jade lock is in the hands of ordinary people. Is there any secret that the family is hiding from us? You will also pursue the secret together!"
