Chapter 113: Don't Alert the Snake
"In that case, can you help me get some information?"
Qi Xu certainly knew that if it was a daughter of an official family, the news would definitely be highly confidential, and ordinary people would certainly not be able to find out anything.
Therefore, the news can only be found out by Jiang Hongyi and Mr. Tian.
This matter was very urgent. Jiang Hongyi and Mr. Tian looked at each other and nodded.
"Okay, I'll go ask around. Jiang Hongyi's inquiries probably won't be very effective."
Mr. Tian volunteered to return to the army base to see if he could find out any relevant information.
However, there is no guarantee that the news will be found out. The old poison creature is quite shrewd. If it only attaches itself to a person, ordinary people will not be able to tell unless it forcibly controls the person's behavior.
Tian Lao is more suitable, as he can see the evil spirit at the first time and notify them quickly.
The next day, Qi Xu and Jiang Hongyi were watching over the store, so they asked Mr. Tian to go alone to see if there was any evil spirit in Zhang Xiaoxiao's house.
The store’s business was attracted by the previous activities, and there were a lot of people coming today. It was a bit difficult for Qi Xu and the others to greet them.
Mr. Tian did not go to Zhang Xiaoxiao's home immediately, but went to the army base to investigate the background of Zhang Xiaoxiao's father.
When he looked at the file, he saw that Zhang Xiaoxiao's father Zhang Kui had been injured in the previous battle.
However, Mr. Tian had no impression of Zhang Kui, so he asked Mr. Xie if he knew whether Zhang Kui had participated in the war.
"This person... I remember him. Wasn't he paralyzed because he couldn't resist the evil spirit back then?"
Mr. Xie carefully recalled the people who participated in the war that year, and indeed Zhang Kui was one of them.
"Paralyzed? How could a paralyzed person become a leader? As director? There's definitely something fishy going on here."
Mr. Tian said this in a decisive tone, and pulled Mr. Xie to check Zhang Kuijiajia's address in the files.
If you don't check, you won't know. When the two of them arrived at the Zhang family's house, they did see an evil spirit rising from the southwest.
Mr. Tian and Mr. Xie looked solemn and quickly came to the store to find Qi Xu to discuss how to deal with the old poisoner.
"Mr. Xie, Mr. Tian, are you sure the evil spirit you saw was the old poisonous creature's evil spirit?"
"Others may be mistaken, but we two old men will not be mistaken about this evil spirit. It is absolutely true."
When Qi Xu heard that this was indeed the hiding place of the old poisonous creature, he felt very nervous. This old poisonous creature must be eradicated, otherwise there would be a great loss of lives on the island.
All the resentment in the hearts of innocent people will be a supplement to the old poison.
"We must isolate all innocent civilians before the fighting begins and avoid harming innocent people on a large scale."
Qi Xu's suggestion made the two old men frown. No matter whose isolation shield it was, it would be impossible to expand the scope to the entire island and completely protect everyone.
"This...is ultimately a difficult question..."
Everyone started to look sad. In order to prevent his emotions from affecting the store's business, Qi Xu adjusted his expression and faced every customer with a smile.
It's best not to act rashly now, so as not to alert the enemy. Wait until the business in the store is finished, Qi Xu takes out the money to pay the pearl peeling employees, and waits until the bystanders leave.
Mr. Tian, Mr. Xie, Qi Xu and Jiang Hongyi sat in a small cubicle and began to discuss the plan.
"Do you want us to go to headquarters and transfer some capable brothers? Old Xie?"
"Aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy?"
The two old men started to argue with each other. "No, no, no, now is not the time for us to quarrel. We must find a way to extend the protective shield to the entire island and protect as many innocent people as possible."
Qi Xu thought differently from them and directly put forward his own idea: "The last thing we can do at this critical moment is to alert the enemy."
Jiang Hongyi agreed very much and nodded: "The common people are the most innocent, but we must also ensure that Zhang Kui is alive."
They can't even protect ordinary people, so how can they protect Zhang Kui? What kind of fantasy is this?
Qi Xu pondered for a moment and finally decided: "Tian Lao, Xie Lao, should we find some instruments to practice magic in the next two days? The more magic instruments we have, the more protection we will have."
"I have a Feng Shui treasure land that can quickly upgrade tools into magical tools."
There was nothing to hesitate about. Old Tian and Old Xie took out all their magic weapons, but there were very few defensive magic weapons. However, even if they were not defensive magic weapons, Qi Xu could still increase the offensive power of offensive magic weapons by a large part.
"Mr. Tian, Mr. Xie, if you trust me, please give me these magical instruments. I will try my best to improve their performance as much as possible in the shortest possible time."
She thought that if she put all her and everyone else's magic weapons at the Lingquan, they would definitely be useful under the protective shield and formation.
Of course, Elder Tian and Elder Xie believed her unconditionally and pushed all their magical weapons in front of her: "Xiao Qi, how could we not trust you? We'll give it all to you. The success or failure of this battle depends on this one move."
"Everyone, rest assured. I can do my best to improve the functionality of all magical instruments to the highest level."
After watching Mr. Tian and Mr. Xie leave, Qi Xucai and Jiang Hongyi locked the shop door.
She went straight up the mountain. It was a dark and windy night, and Jiang Hongyi was worried about her safety, so he accompanied her with a flashlight.
When he arrived at the spiritual spring, Qi Xu saw the five elements surrounding it, which were extremely abundant, even more abundant than during the day.
Looking up, it seemed like the moon was at work. Under the moonlight, the five elements above the spiritual spring became more vigorous.
"Little ghost, go take a bath quickly. This time, absorb as much power as possible from the spiritual spring. If you eat too much, I will help you smooth it out."
Qi Xu patted the little ghost's butt above his head and told her to go to the Lingquan quickly. Then he placed all the magic tools he had brought in a small package in the place with the most spiritual energy near the Lingquan.
Jiang Hongyi is now standing outside the formation like a bodyguard, always on guard.
Qi Xu sat cross-legged in the position he had chosen, closed his eyes, and began to chant the incantation: "The Three Talents forge the form, the Five Elements bestow the nature; the sun and the moon are the soul, the mountains and rivers are the qi; the command is to communicate the truth, and the spirit of the instrument awakens!"
Her palms began to flip up and down in the air, and Jiang Hongyi saw more and more five elements of spiritual energy gradually gathering in front of her. Then her fingers drew different hexagrams on each magic weapon.
The sword weapon was painted with cinnabar to represent the Li hexagram, and the mirror weapon was painted with the Kan hexagram. The magic weapons were seen spinning directly in the air, absorbing spiritual energy bit by bit, and then they began to emit their own unique brilliance.
The magic weapon seemed to have self-awareness, knowing how much energy it could absorb in its small body, and would slowly fall down when it reached its peak.
After all the magic weapons fell on the package on the ground one after another, Qi Xu slowly exhaled and looked at the colorful colors emitted by her flowing wing butterfly, and the corners of her mouth gradually rose.
