Monster, come to my bowl

"Why do you think so?" Cai Ji asked back.

"These papers are very new, and the ink on them is also very new, which means that they were completed recently! There are my second brother's fingerprints on the paper, and the degree of dryness and wetness is consistent with the other ink marks, which can be confirmed that he did it himself. The ink is not evenly spread, and there are many places that are misplaced, which means that he was either very casual or very flustered when he made the rubbing..."

"I assume that my second brother was alone in the centipede cave making rubbings. It was pitch dark and monsters could appear at any time. He must have been extremely nervous, which is why he made the rubbings look like this."

"Also, according to the servants' accounts, before the accident, my second brother deliberately left behind his two personal attendants and claimed that he was going to the city to play alone a few times. It was not until the last time that he got excited for some reason and mentioned the Centipede Cave in excitement. It was then that a servant noticed something was wrong and quietly reported it to mother."

"However, the servant was afraid of being blamed by his second brother, so he thought about it for a whole night before making up his mind to go find his mother, which resulted in him missing the opportunity to save her... You know what happened afterwards."

Upon hearing this, Xue Yi immediately gave his explanation.

As the second-in-command of Qinghe City, she is not only in charge of exorcising demons, but also in charge of public security and arresting thieves, which is equivalent to being the police chief who also serves as the armed forces minister.

She is professional in investigating cases.

"So that's how it is! This explains why the Second Young Master went to the Centipede Cave! He must have heard from somewhere that there was a stone tablet with holy texts engraved on it in the cave, but he didn't want the news to leak out, so he took the risk alone..." Cai Ji agreed deeply.

But looking at the eight words in front of him, his heart was in suspense, and he asked solemnly: "Miss, do you think myths and legends are credible?"

Xue Yi was stunned, and said with a little hesitation: "I didn't believe it before, but now... I believe it a little."

"When the Qilin meets the town, it will bloom for ten thousand years!" Cai Ji pointed to the rubbing in front of him, read it in his native language, and said in a deep voice: "If these two sentences are credible, it is estimated that something big is going to happen!"

After saying that, he walked straight to the desk, picked up the book "Big Nerve" on the table and started flipping through it quickly.

What is Cai Ji looking for?

He is looking for the 'Qilin' of this world!

The two words "Qilin" on the rubbing are written in Chinese characters.

Regardless of pronunciation and meaning, they are individually matched with earth knowledge.

Therefore, Cai Ji decided to look in "Da Shen Jing" to see if there was any legendary creature in this world corresponding to the Qilin.

Seeing that his expression was extremely solemn, Xue Yi decisively suppressed the doubts in his heart. He did not ask what serious incident would happen, but chose to wait patiently.

This wait lasted for nearly half an hour!

Due to its complex content, "The Big Nerve" is more than 300 pages long.

In addition, Cai Ji was not proficient in the writing of this world, and there were a large number of ancient monsters mentioned in "The Great Nerve". He searched for a long time but could not find the so-called "Qilin".

I saw quite a few charming and beautiful female fairies.

"How could there not be one?" He stroked his chin, and muttered to himself in confusion, "Could it be that the Qilin in this world is a creature with a completely different appearance?"

"What did you say?" Xue Yi could no longer hold back his excitement. When he heard Cai Ji mumbling in a language he could not understand, he asked hurriedly.

"I said, there doesn't seem to be a corresponding demon beast on the big nerve." Cai Ji explained, and then asked decisively: "Have you ever heard of a demon beast or a sacred beast with a sheep-like head, a pair of deer horns, claws similar to those of a wolf, a body like a cow, and a layer of scales on its body?"

"Sheep's head, deer horns, wolf claws, cow's body, and covered in scales?" Xue Yi frowned, racked her brains for a while, and shook her head, "No! I've never heard of such a strange-looking monster."

"No? Since there is no Qilin like the one I was thinking of in this world, it must refer to another kind of monster." Cai Ji touched his chin and complained to himself again: "The person who engraved the inscription didn't even know to add a comment..."

It’s better not to complain, but once you complain, you will regret it!

Xue Yi's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

"Yes! Annotations!" She seemed to be inspired by something and said excitedly: "If we can find that stone tablet, maybe we can solve the mystery!"

"Ah?" Cai Ji was startled and was about to speak to dissuade him, but it was too late.

Xue Yi said excitedly without waiting for him to speak: "If it is a double-sided stele, then in addition to these eight big characters, there must be other inscriptions on the other side! Even if it is not a double-sided stele, there may be other stele nearby! Even if there are no other stele, new clues can be found nearby. After all, no one would put a lonely stone stele in a cave where few people go. It is very likely that there is an altar or other buildings..."

“Ah, this…” Cai Ji saw the young lady’s excited expression and knew that something was wrong. He quickly covered his forehead and leaned towards her: “I, I, I feel dizzy…”

Xue Yi is not Wangcai, he can be deceived if you want to.

Snapped!

Seeing Cai Ji's sudden move, she slapped him on the bald head.

"Stop pretending!" The eldest lady glared at him fiercely and ordered in an unquestionable tone: "Come with me to the Centipede Cave tomorrow morning! Don't even think about coming back until you find the stone tablet!"

Cai Ji wanted to cry but had no tears. He struggled to stand still. "My dear Miss, you can't repay kindness with enmity! I am just an ordinary person who is powerless and my body has not recovered yet, and you let me go to the Centipede Cave to die..."

"What do you mean by repaying kindness with evil? I saved your life, and now you eat my food, drink my drinks, live in my house, and spend my money. What's wrong with me asking you to do something?" Xue Yi retorted without thinking.

"What you said..." Cai Ji's mouth twitched, and he suddenly changed his words: "That makes sense! What you said makes a lot of sense!"

He wanted to say that he was her savior and had paid a double price both mentally and physically, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that he couldn't say it yet.

He couldn't share his important discovery with the young lady yet!

It’s not that Cai Ji was not trustworthy, but he had sworn that Xue Yi would be responsible for collecting the remaining pages of the sacred text, and he would be responsible for translating it.

After the translation is completed, the relevant content will be passed on to her.

Just now, Cai Ji was developing the "holy text" stored in his mind, and did not use the fragments that Xue Yi found. Why should he share it with her?

Cai Ji is not a bootlicker who licks beautiful women whenever he sees them.

After eight years of hardship, he firmly believed that only by improving his own abilities could he have a chance to have a happy old age.

Otherwise, you won’t even be qualified to pursue happiness!

Xue Yi had no idea of ​​Cai Ji's little plan, and was quite satisfied when he saw that he had tactfully changed his words.

She smiled sincerely and took the initiative to comfort him, "You don't have to be too scared. I slashed the centipede leader in the soft spot. If he didn't die, he would be seriously injured after escaping. He definitely won't dare to fight me again! As for those ordinary iron-backed centipedes, they are a piece of cake for me. There is nothing to be afraid of! As long as you follow me closely, I will keep you safe!"

Cai Ji knew he couldn't escape, so he just pretended to give up.

"Well, whatever you say is fine." He sighed and shook his head, holding out his hand and said, "I've spent all the money from last time. Give me some more."
