The four returned to the hall and sat down separately.

Wan Lushi said: "Today I took turns going to all the rooms where Zhu Yulu has been friends for nearly half a year and had a good chat with them, and found a strange thing - on the night of the [-]th of every month, she never Show up in anyone's room."

Su Zhuo murmured: "I remember you said before that Zhu Yulu seldom stays in Shengque Renjian Pavilion, and spends almost every night outside."

"That's right, so I went to ask the eyeliner of Baihuagu, whether Zhu Yulu wins every [-]th of every month, but the Pavilion of the World—" She paused, then laughed, "Yes, but it's not."

Su Zhuo was not tempted by her ecstatic laughter, and nodded: "It seems that she will return to the vicinity of Shengque Renjian Pavilion on the fifteenth of every month, but she will not go back, but walk around, what I said Right?"

Wan Lushi was surprised and said, "Has Su Lang already known?"

Su Zhuo shook his head.After knowing that the peacock spider is the monster behind Zhu's family, he can almost guess Zhu Yulu's actions.The key is where-

Su Zhuo raised her head and said: "Based on what Miss Wan said just now, no matter where Zhu Yulu went, she must be very close to this house, and that's why Miss Wan came to such a judgment."

Wan Lushi pouted unhappily.

Su Zhuo turned his head and said, "Master Zhong, what's the progress?"

Zhong Jinqing waved his folding fan: "I overheard a piece of news in a restaurant today, and 'saw' someone who shouldn't be here."

Su Zhuo wondered, "Who?"

Zhong Jinnian smiled and said, "Liuzhou State Shepherd."

Su Zhuo was surprised.According to the imperial court regulations, state shepherds are not allowed to leave the area under their jurisdiction without reason.Although Liuzhou is connected to Caizhou, Liuzhou Zhou Mu should never appear here.

"What did you hear?"

"He was very drunk and complained to the state shepherd of Caizhou next to him." Zhong Jinnian said with a half-smile: "He complained that Zhu Jinfeng terminated the deal between them last month, and he took the risk to come to Caizhou to see him Zhu Jinfeng wanted to continue their cooperation, but was kicked out by the other party, losing all face."

Wan Lushi smiled and said: "It seems that Caizhou Zhoumu is not innocent either."

Zhong Jinnian continued: "I am very curious about the transaction between the two state pastors and Zhu Jinfeng, so I sent disciples of the Holy Cult to investigate. It will take a day for the news from Liuzhou to arrive, but I think it is not far from Caizhou—" —According to the law of our court, except for the death row prisoners who committed serious crimes, the place of beheading is in a sparsely populated mass grave to preserve the last dignity of the prisoners. But what is interesting is that after resorting to some means, several people around Caizhou The official executioners of the entire county have frankly admitted that among the prisoners on the list who were executed by themselves, one out of ten can pass through their own knife, which is considered a lot.”

"This is the case in several counties, and I'm afraid there is no exception in any county in the state. Liuzhou should be the same." Zhong Jinnian said slowly: "In the end, these death row prisoners were all smuggled into the Fairy City of Magpie Bridge by pretending to be slaves or goods. No more noise. Naturally, these state shepherds, county guards, county magistrates, and even executioners and other officials have received countless benefits—then, who has such financial resources?"

Su Zhuo asked: "When did it start?"

Zhong Jin said with a young smile: "Three generations of executioners have been employed by the government. If you look at it carefully, I'm afraid it has been like this since the founding of the country. And in the troubled times before the founding of the country, why worry about not finding people who have nowhere to go?"

Su Zhuo thought for a while and said: "As I expected, these death row prisoners are probably food sacrificed to monsters, and the location is this house? Yes, it's no wonder that the location is so good that no one lives there. And Zhu Yulu will appear around here on the fifteenth day of every month."

Wan Lushi corrected: "It's not that no one has ever lived here, but that the businessman who bought this place will be seriously ill within ten days, and will only get better if he sells it. After several times in a row, this house has been empty caught."

Su Zhuo remembered the magic circle found today—if this house is the real ancestral grave of the Zhu family they are looking for, the magic circle in the house is specially drawn like this, so that it can confuse the breath and escape his perception, I'm afraid the same is true underground.

Su Zhuo pondered: "Then, this house is uninhabited, how did you send those prisoners here? Is there a secret way?"

Zhong Jinnian suddenly smiled and said, "Isn't this a surprise from Mr. Su?"

Su Zhuo was taken aback.

Wan Lushi pointed in the direction of the courtyard: "Hey, isn't there a stone wall inside that big pit?"

Because of Xia Anning's relationship, Su Zhuo really didn't take a closer look at the big pit, and got up and went to the yard when he heard the words.I saw that the center of the big pit in front of the stone table was four or five meters deep, like a bowl left after a powerful TNT explosive exploded.The lowest point in the center is different from other places, revealing a trace of navy blue.

In summer the days are longer, and although it is suppertime, the sky is still bright.Su Zhuo jumped down from the pit and brushed off the cover around the navy blue object with his hands, gradually revealing its full view.

——It was a navy blue slate.There are meticulous incisions on the stone slab, and the strokes are smooth like the wild grass of a famous artist, and there is a strange force attached to it.

Su Zhuo drew a talisman in the air, the golden filaments drilled into the ground along his fingers, and then disappeared.After a while, he said slowly: "This is not a formation, but a talisman technique... If it is not triggered, there will be no reaction, and the formation outside is a disguise, no wonder I have not noticed it... The ancestors of the Zhu family are so great With the handwriting, we can invite a magician who is good at talismans."

Qin Huanyan and the others had come to the edge of the pit, Wan Lushi wondered: "Su Lang, isn't this a secret way?"

Su Zhuo said slowly: "Yes, and no."

Qin Huanyan said the first sentence this time: "What do you mean?"

"There is indeed a secret passage under this house, but this is not the Zhu family's ancestral tomb." Su Zhuo said, "This is the entrance to the ancestral tomb. Zhu Yulu's frequent visits prove that there is only one entrance."

Zhong Jinnian frowned slightly: "But those condemned prisoners have never appeared near here."

Su Zhuo jumped out of the pit and said slowly: "I said this is the only 'entrance', but I didn't say that this is the only feeding port."

"Low-level demons and monsters have very similar habits to wild beasts. They don't think there is anything wrong with covering the ground with corpses and flesh and blood, but humans do, let alone Zhu Yulu. So she must He will not be willing to walk the road full of human bones, this is one reason; the second is because the talismans on this stone slab are extremely difficult to draw, even if he wins the Pavilion of the World, he may only be able to establish this "normal" place. The entrance will not be discovered by ascetics."

"This is just the entrance, and the real Zhujiazu's tomb may still be outside the city. This underground gathering of the 300-year painstaking efforts of Caizhou Sheng and Renjian Pavilion—it might not be an exaggeration to call it a palace."

"The end of this secret path, I'm afraid...is a maze."

Qin Huanyan suddenly said: "What do you think?"

Su Zhuo pondered for a moment, and said to the three of them: "We will go to the underground palace to explore in three days. During these three days, according to what I said before, I will teach the two of you the art of talismans."

-

Walking out of Zhong Jinnian's room, it was completely dark outside.

The system suddenly said: 【According to your plan, you should not give the talisman technique to those two people at this time. 】

[The plan cannot keep up with the changes. 】Su Zhuo walked slowly towards his room in the dark corridor: 【I thought it was just an underground lair, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a [maze].This labyrinth has been built for more than 200 years, which does not match the time when the golden dragon appeared.If it wasn't for the appearance of a third kind of monster, it was because [the leader] evolved from this group of peacock spiders... It's getting more and more troublesome. 】

No one answered.

Su Zhuo originally thought that the other party was ignoring him as usual, but after walking two more steps, he found something unusual.

wrong.

Too quiet.

The noisy chirping of cicadas in summer was a headache, but before I knew it, all the sounds disappeared.There is no sound of waggling on the street, no chirping of insects and birds, no rustling of leaves in the wind, not even—the feeling of being connected with Sanba’s soul.

This feeling he had only felt this morning.

"I finally found you."

That gentle, tender, never-to-be-forgotten voice rang in his ears.

"Junior Brother Zhuo."

!!!

Su Zhuo stiffened his body and dared not move at all. The opponent was too close to him. If he was close, he only needed to move his back a little to get close to the opponent's chest.There was a slight coldness on the person who came, but Su Zhuo knew that both the person's body temperature and character were warm.

Su Zhuo took a deep breath in his heart, stepped forward abruptly and turned around, with a look of panic on his face, he said in disbelief: "You, who are you?!"

An Yiyin's face appeared in front of him.

It seems that 300 years have not brought him the slightest change. He is almost the same as he saw in his dream. When he saw him for the first time, a poem came to mind.

——There are bandits and gentlemen, who are as sharp as cutting, and as sharp as grinding.

Su Zhuo stiffened his back, and called out again: "Excuse me, is your Excellency...?"

"..."

An Yiyin just looked at Su Zhuo silently, but his quietness put more pressure on the other party.The time was infinitely elongated, and every breath seemed to be as slow as a day.Finally, it was An Yiyin who spoke first.

"Since the appearance of Qianwen and An Ning, Junior Brother Zhuo has become mature and self-reliant. Don't speak, don't talk, don't laugh, don't pay attention. You close the palace and concentrate on cultivation, as if you are isolating everyone."

An Yiyin's voice was like his own, gentle and charming, but at this moment, Su Zhuo was in a cold sweat: "The two juniors may not dare to get too close to avoid offending you because of this, but I know it's not the case. I don't know Zhuo Why did Junior Brother suddenly want to be like the Red Lotus Immortal Emperor, but I know that your heart is different from her softness. Even after a hundred years or a thousand years, I still believe so. I am not blindly confident. If you say why, Junior brother Zhuo, because of your little action."

Su Zhuo's fingers twitched slightly, but he didn't speak.

"When you are unhappy, the corners of your mouth will be bent down a little, when you are happy, your eyes will be wide open, when you are lying, your left arm will be slightly raised, when you are angry, your eyebrows will be slightly raised, and when you are nervous..." An Yiyin said slowly: "Your back will be stiff, your neck will be bent back a little, your forehead will be raised, your legs will be straight, and then - the little finger of your right hand will twitch."

Su Zhuo clenched his fist violently.

"Perhaps you don't pay attention to these little habits." An Yiyin said slowly: "But I have been following you, Junior Brother Zhuo, since I was young, and I know your every move very well."

"..."

"The only thing I regret now is that I didn't take a look after An Ning said I found 'you'." An Yiyin closed her eyes, frowning slightly: "The yin and yang reincarnation disk didn't respond at all. An Ning didn't know about it. As the custodian, I am very clear that the person he found is not your reincarnation, Junior Brother Zhuo, but I hope he can relax, so I chose to remain silent."

"..."

An Yiyin opened her eyes, her amber pupils were lost in the darkness, and she couldn't see clearly.

"It's just that I was wrong. I misjudged the spiritual perception imagined by Superman An Ning, and I also misjudged... Junior Brother Zhuo, you may...do not want to come back."

Su Zhuo opened his mouth, but all the words were blocked in his throat, turning into a long sigh: "Brother..."

"What did you say?!" A familiar voice came from behind, and shouted in a tone almost exclaimed: "Erha is... Your Majesty?!"
